"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

How come no one told me about The Fratellis? I count on you guys to keep me abreast of these things!

The Fratellis were totally a surprise to me too, FWIW.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

They're Scottish, were recommended because I like OkGo, and the album is called Costello Music-it's like they were made just for me.

I have snapdragons in pale yellow and burgundy and white&purple and peach and dark fuschia and lobelia and a red salvia and a marigold and a pink dianthus. And a strawberry plant, and I'm not sure what happened there.

But anyway, they are all potted in the balcony planters. I guess I was feeling ambitious.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

A place that charges something less than obscene for facials would be great, but I'm primarily looking for a recommendation for an excellent full body massage at less than highway robbery prices in West LA.

I want the world.

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

I am always boggled that you manage to catch the bad (less strong?) Criminal Minds eps

It's a gift. Akin to the one where every Without a Trace episode I ended up catching was from my quite brief sliver of liking the show. Murphy's Law as it applies to TV. Though I broke my WaT streak with the one with a crazy bitch and a nail gun, so that was very rewarding. Booyah. Of course, Gitmo lawyers were probably taking notes there too, though it was a clear case of a torturee just making shit up right away to spare themselves more pain.

And damn, was Poppy Montgomery's early accent weak. She's much much better now.

I got a good full body massage for $65 a few weeks ago. That was a pleasant surprise.

Well, great facial: Flirt, which is in North Hollywood. Apparently they are also the awesome when it comes to waxing.

I've heard good things about Massage Garage in Culver City, but have never been. They aren't highway robbery!

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

It's a gift.
And, let me guess, no gift receipt? That really should be a gift you can return.

If I recall, you've seen the Frankie (ooh, hey he races cars!) Muniz comic book one and this one. And while comic book one was interesting, it was seriously atypical of the show and jarring.

And, I think, you'd like the show if you saw less bizarre episodes of it. Though I am not thrilled with this season as a whole. The cast changes are not working for me as much as the show would like.

Thanks, Kat. That Culver City place looks convenient and affordable. I'll check it out.
