Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My issue with most of the issues of Numb3rs that I've seen is that he's able to pull way too much information out of a tiny amount of data.

I was surprised this week-I thought they did pretty well, except for the software running on the cameras that could extract and solve clues. CSI made my eyes roll with their patent zoom in for more detail thing this week. Removing noise 255% will not make the writing on a cap that legible. It's not like there was a lot of noise in the image.

Hey, I wonder if the strike would be a good time to wander among the writers and suggest that they be more accurate in their representations of various communities and professions.

Bahahaahah... well I had an invite to bring my baby to strike on Monday. I could do that.

Oh man. I just finished watching this week's FNL. I am wickedly in love with the Taylors! Tami was fabulous this week. And so how I feel some mornings. It's a good saturday night when I am home alone, with the baby on my lap, catching up on TV.

I'm feeling vaguely ill. I ate three bagels today, so maybe I've OD'd on carbs?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

And you can offer ... demonstrations should they be required, in case they aren't paying attention closely enough.

The Taylors are so loveable.

Noah the striker!!!

What the fuck possessed me to dye my hair at midnight? I'm so ready to go to bed NOW and have 8 minutes and a shower before me.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

What the fuck possessed me to dye my hair at midnight?

I'm cooking dinner at 10pm... OK you win.

Hey, we're having a thunderstorm!

Isn't that . . . odd?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My weather radar widget shows a shitload of scattered showers crossing Northern IL and Southern WI.

We're supposed to get rain tomorrow. Looks like we might get some soon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why oh why do I have a sore throat?? If this is a new cold or whatever, I'm going to kill someone.

Also, the Trader Joe's croissant did not proof enough after like 15 hours in the fridge, so I'm going to leave it till the afternoon and then see if I need a different strategy.

I had some homemade bread for breakfast, which I find improves my outlook significantly. Also, last night I tried something different -- put the usual ingredients in the bread machine, put it on 'dough' and then transferred the result to a bread-shaped pan in the oven, for 30 minutes, which gave it a much-improved crust and texture. Also, it took significantly less time than the regular bread machine cycle, which is probably because the electric heater in there is less efficient than my convection oven.
