That was one of my favorite moments in the pilot, when Sam calls in the fake shooting.

He's so disapproving about the credit card fraud and all of it at the beginning, and 24 hours back into it, he's totally on his game.

Yeah, just like he warms up to the fight in the apartment, he's back into the rhythm of the life he resents so much when he needs to be.

I just heard that Jared tweeted that Harley died. Poor guy. From Colin, he's had some really bad times with his pets. I hope he gets some peace with the rest of his animal family, and good times with the kidling.

Aw, that hurts. Poor Jared. He loves those dogs.

I liked last night's episode. It wasn't really a classic, but it felt old school, like S1, and I didn't mind the parallels to the boys' problems. I really liked Melanie, too, and the way Dean interacted with her. He's so far from the Dean who winked at every pretty girl in a five-mile radius, raring to go.

I thought the fairy lady was better written, and these mediums were sort of cutouts, but the cafe was hysterical. And I love some brother interaction. Plus, the "Campbell" brothers! Total fan service, but funny. And not out of the realm of possibility that Campbells generations back were pulling that kind of scam as they traveled to earn some money.

Oh, that is sad about Harley. It's hard when you love creatures that have a vastly different lifespan.

I'm always in the mood for the pilot (hear that, Cass?)

It's always a good time for the pilot.

I almost missed my exit from the freeway because I was amusing myself with thinking of a D/C video to Thompson Twins "Lay Your Hands On Me"

I really spend way too much of my time driving to storyboarding random vids to inappropriate songs. It's a gift.

Cass, you need to catch up! You'll know what kind of car was in the last episode.

I still want my crack vid to "Ballroom Blitz". And a serious one to "Motherless Children."

It read in my brain as Nova-esque but I am pretty sure it wasn't really one. It was "slightly classic but not immediately recognizable" mostly. And a terrible shade of blue.

The Harley thing has me sad because my parents are losing a great dog to cancer right now. Next weekend I am there and I am going to squish his ears and tell him how good a doggy he is. Again.

Not everyone gets something from pets, but if you do, I think you get way more than you give.

Oh yeah. The cats drive me crazy sometimes, but more often, when I'm having a shitty day, they're there to pet and purr like engines and rub against my ankles.

Yeah, I'm obviously not a pet person, but even hearing the stories second hand from Colin made it clear how much joy and pain Jared could feel for his dogs, and I respect that. It was great, but in proportion.

Someone "elsewhere" said it was a 72-73 Dodge Challenger. Assuming there's an elsewhere, which I understand has yet to be confirmed.

Has this: [link] been posted here? It was a great boon to my mood earlier. Ash is by far my favourite vidder. Sorry, Heidi.

So True.

I think you get way more than you give.

Indeed you do. It was just three years ago yesterday I lost my dog Ricky. He was with me through thick and thin for nearly 17 years. My next pets will be tropical fish. They don't shatter your heart to pieces and leave you a heaving, sobbing mess when they die.
