Trufax! Flip flops are the only shoes, sometimes, for tropics. My mom is just happy that they became a fad so she can wear her slippers out of the house like she did in Hawaii.

We are both traumatized because our favorite brand of slippers in Honolulu went out of business. Tragic. AND I spilled guava juice all over my last pair today. At first I was really upset, and then I decided that death by guava juice might be deeply, deeply appropriate.

Had a fabulous rehearsal tonight. And I'm getting a lead line, whohoo! Okay, only in one verse, but still. And it's mostly in my range. I just need to work timing between now and Saturday night.

It's funnier than any procedural needs to be.

Is it funny for the right reasons? Is Brennan supposed to be found absurd? Because I can't like her or get behind her. I can only mock her. Now, if the show were "Bug & Slime Guy (Romances Art Girl)" I'd be there every week. As is, it's getting ditched pretty soon.

There are plenty of sorts of sandals, some that go on and off very quickly, that are not flip flops. Some of them don't even make the nasty smacking noise.

For now, I hold the position that "funny is funny." She's inconsistent but I find her Aspergers funny.

I wonder what Hart Hanson's position is. Probably "ratings are ratings."

She's inconsistent but I find her Aspergers funny.

Can people with Asperger's write the books she...okay, fine, let me let it go. If I had a job I wouldn't even have an opinion. So I'll shut up.

Is Hart Hanson still with the show? Or was he just gone for a while to develop something else?

A temporary absence would help explain some of the inconsistencies in Brennan. It seems like she is returning to the more logical/less socially ept character that she started out as.

The real reason is that people in flip flops aren't actually barefoot.

Clearly.

I miss my good pair of sandals. They finally died.

Judging from IMDB he didn't go anywhere. He doesn't have any other IMDB credits since Joan of Arcadia ended. I think the inconsistencies are there to serve the plot like variations in Buffy's strength were--but they stand out much more.

You think, and I think, and yet...

They hint. They tease. They are like the lingerie of the footwear world. But they aren't nekkid.

My friend with Asperger's who is studying politics and philosophy at Cambridge would say yes.

Does she write chart topping mysteries with steamy sex? Given how much about people escapes Bones, I really wonder what the people in her books could be like.

I'm assuming the "real" Temperance Brennan, Kathy Reichs, isn't profoundly broken when it comes to common cultural awareness and how people interact and that her books stand a better chance of success. I might put one on hold at the library to see.
