I hear Southland was very very white wrt the good guys and regulars, and all the ethnic types were baddies and incidentals. Did that persist past the pilot?
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I would say no, but I only saw the one episode. I'm not sure yet how directly one can plot out good guys=cops, but I think the main pair of partners are white. The show itself seems very ensemble based, and several of the key characters (both in the station and in the community) were black or hispanic.
I think I'd want to watch a few more episodes before I gave a definitive answer, but my first reaction wasn't to think "egad!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's got sassy Regina King, right?

I wonder if I should Tivo Southland?
I just got back from the Fluevog sale. I bought the Truly Madly Deeply pumps in forest green for $39! WOOT. I wish they had had red in my size, but alas. They also had mini lily darlings, but not in my size (11!!) which made me sad. oh well.

So I own a home as of 1 pm today.
Which prompted me to change all the locks save one I am replacing myself.
And then drop more money at Home Depot.
I did refrain from buying new sconces, though. I need to research that.
Good god.
It was a very unusual closing in that the seller didn't show, just signed everything before. And my bank guy had a family emergency (which started earlier this week and I knew about.)
So just 3 of us. Weird.
There is so much to do and money to spend.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Congratulations, Sarameg! For all types of lighting, Ikea can have surprisingly fabulous deals. We got most of our lighting from there or Lamps Plus Outlet sales.
