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

GA so far is like a parade of "You are bored now."

Seriously.

Plus the preview made me prospectively bored.

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

our local CBS affiliate has a news scoop that is the envy of every program manager

Not just the program managers. Everyone vaguely near news.

It's wild when news is happening right there. I hope everyone is okay. But damn, that is news happening in your front yard. Stupid things make me miss news. A disturbed person threatening violence shouldn't trip it. But it's happening right there.

I really do hope everyone is okay though. And that the person gets help.

Latest reports have the cops shooting the guy. He was life flighted to the nearest hospital, which is about a mile away from downtown. We'll know more in the morning, I guess.

I worked news in college, so I've got some of that newshound in me. I wonder who they woke up in New York to say "You're not going to believe the footage we've got."

I don't think it goes away. Ever.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Our public transPort paper has an Overheard section, which is usually unremarkable; but two caught my eye today:

"How is Osama the President of America? Weren't they trying to kill him at one stage? Americans are so dumb."

There you go, Americans. You so dumb.

"I want a guy who will make me laugh and also keep me safe."
"So you want a clown ninja."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ha!

Jesse Williams should cut his hair. I just watched Cabin In the Woods and he was mega fine there.

Ditto Hems.

Hmmm, I meant to start watching Scandal. . . maybe I should just catch it On Demand.

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

Ditto Hems.

Oh, no sirree. Clearly I am racist, but no. Jesse, I want close cropped hair and focus on his bone structure and hugeness and expectational contrast of his eyes. I think Hemsworth looks better with the swinging locks.

In one of our every 6 month conversations (one of my few uses of FB--that and Scrabble with Brian, because that's the only way we talk) with Johann, he told me he auditioned for Thor. Honey? Of course you did. If I had been your agent, you would have. It might have been your only audition that year, because I don't actually know how to be an agent, but you audition for Thor. I'm not as mad as I was that he didn't get it, and I still think he'd have rocked it (he needs a good director--look at the crap that is Resident Evil 5, by all accounts), but there isn't anything to complain about re: Hemsworth other than me not having taught him krav and him not having taught me to surf.

I'd be cool with resolving all that now, the traitor that I am.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think Hemsworth looks better with his Cabin in the Woods-era hair, but for the movies he should probably keep it like he had it in Avengers. Whatever changed between the Thor movie and that worked, and they need to not mess with it.
