Or 70s. No earlier than that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So years ago, I read this bio about an african american kid who had been raised in the Soviet Union. His parents had immigrated there because they thought that life would be better, less racist etc. Can any of you help me find the book again?

Blair Underwood on Dirty Sexy Money! Except (and I haven't seen this week's episode), apparently the Evil Darlings drove them out of the country or something.

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

I wondered why you said I should watch Criminal Minds. Hmmph. I'm that predictable, huh?

Was that a typical ep? First off, HDTV and migraines may not be a good mix. But I'm assuming the visuals were slanted because of the subject matter. What about the roles played by the team? They were barely in the story. Is that normal.

I swear I just heard something about that guy in the last month.

That was not at all normal, ita.

Jesse, that is what prompted me to try to remember.

Oh, I saw that on DSM too.

Thanks, Jesse. Seemed an odd show. TiVo caught me an NCIS recently too and it looked weird, so I wondered if I just wasn't getting out enough.

Kat, can I have Noah? I mean, until he needs to be changed.

Hey, ita, there was a guy on the bus today who looked *just* like Colin. Only shorter.

It was really disconcerting. I think Jilli may have mentioned seeing him before, but apparently, Colin has an Evil Twin who works at Microsoft. And reads Harry Potter.

Thanks, Jesse. Seemed an odd show.

It's definitely more of a straightforward procedural most of the time. The Inside but less creepy, internally.
