I'm afraid I know neither. Maybe I can recognize their faces, but definitely not their names.

I think you know them both, by face.

And thank you all, especially Matilda, for the shoes wishes, but I'm afraid it's not going to happen anytime soon.

about the US building an additional moon

Out of cheese, I assume?

Nilly! Do you know of Yael Naim?

I'm not Nilly, but I've heard a lot about her.

about the US building an additional moon

"That's no moon - it's a space station!"

Do you know of Yael Naim? Her album is one of the purchases that arrived this weekend, and I love it!

Everybody here is talking about her, because of her new current international success. I only got to hear the one song that's being playing on the radio around here, and I liked it a lot. It's great to read that the whole album is good!

"Naim" means pleasant (or nice).

Please to continue thinking this stuff out loud!

Yay! Some other time, though, OK? I really really have to go now.

t Trying to pour all the goo-that-is-me into my backpack.

t Wondering, if I'm the goo in the backpack, who will carry the backpack home? Who watches the watchers? Who un-boings the dolls who don't boing anymore?

[Edit: OK, really leaving now. Bye, y'all!]

There are window-washers outside on the building next to mine, and the platform they're on keeps catching on the windowsills as they move down, and tilting backwards just a little bit. It's very tense!

Hmm, does anyone know of any good lunch places around the Tappan Zee? We're driving to Maryland Friday and it looks like that might be a good halfway lunch point.

(edit: by "around," I mean ~25 miles before or after- before would be on 287 and after would be via the Garden State Parkway)

Little kids hugging things is so very cute.

Oh, I love the felony murder/etc conversation. It all seems kind of how I remember it, and I do agree that the getaway driver getting the chair because a bank customer has a heart attack is a bit harsh.

In a scenario where someone is an accomplice to the crime, but doesn't participate in the actual pulling of it (supplied a list of safety deposit boxes, for instance)--can they go down the same way as well?

I started watching bits of Cold Case, NCIS, and CSI: NY as part of my shut-in entertainment. NCIS is very strange. I like the CSI chick, but I think I hate everyone else. And the inter-character patter is a bit annoying. Cold Case is also odd, but I do like the premise a lot (and miss the British series that did the same thing) so I watch it a bit more eagerly. CSI: NY has actually hooked me, although some of their plots are almost CSI: Miami in their ludicrousness. Ludicrosity. Whatever.

And then there is Criminal Minds. I watched one episode of it, and the investigators were barely in it. What a waste of Shemar Moore! I'm going to give it another chance.

Is Waking the Dead all done?

You watched the Frankie Munoz Criminal Minds right? They're not usually like that.
