Amusing moment in Chez Zmayhem tonight:
While the TV is playing and we're half paying attention we hear an ad for a new episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
JZ asks, "Law & Order: Crinoline Tent?"
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.
'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Natter 56: ...we need the writers.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
"Law & Order: Crinoline Tent?"
Policing the fashion world. The literal Fashion Police.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
In the criminal fashion system, the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important, groups: the police who shirek and throw wave their hands at the crime and the district attorneys who slap the shit out of the offenders. These are their stories.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Hey, am I right in thinking that the writers' strike has been settled?

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

And Greg Rucka! (What? He's geek famous!)

Hee!
BILLYTEA! I think so.
In elementary school, I carpooled with a current state representative, a writer on King of the Hill, and a couple other guys who have more impressive CVs than I do. I also went to elementary school, middle school, and high school with this guy [link] but despite him being absurdly talented, he's not exactly a household name. (The last time I saw him was the '92 caucus. We were sitting with our elementary teacher and discussing our general feelings regarding a lack of direction, or something.)
I don't think anyone I've ever been friends with has become famous, though my upstairs neighbors in Downtown Olympia did (as Sleater Kinney). Friends in common, but I didn't know them. Same deal with her. [link]
Then again, my high school friends were the IB crowd, and my college friends were the gamer/computer geek crowd, not exactly the areas where people become household or even cult names.

Tommyrot, if you woke up this morning feeling tired, you were helping me move heavy furniture in my random dream last night. Er... thanks for the help?
