Hee, geeky California area code growth chart. And maps.
Weird to realize that I've been living in CA long enough to see sixteen new area codes generated. There's a lot of freakin' people here.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Do you all have to dial the area code even when making a local call?
Boston, for the last year. They realized they totally blew it on assigning area codes by geography, and rather than redo the whole system they're going to start overlaying a 2nd code in the 617 area, and a 2nd code in 781.

Aww, weirdly, I was thinking that Danny Strong didn't seem that short on GG. Maybe because for a lot of that episode he was sitting down. Also, Alexis Bledel is strangely short for being the daughter of her parents.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just saw a news piece that 909 was being split. 950, or something.
When are you going to shine on your own, huh?
Dude, I made the 313. Give a girl a chance to rest.
Pfah on the Sisco news.

Also, Alexis Bledel is strangely short for being the daughter of her parents.
Sumi, do you mean her RL parents or Christopher/Lorelei?
Wacky Alexis Bledel fact: She's actually half Argentinian/half Mexican. Spanish is her first language and she didn't learn English until she was in school.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
ABC Shelves Karen Sisco.
Aw, frell. At least it's not cancelled. Yet.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
"We love this show, but it has become increasingly obvious that it's not working on Wednesday nights," ABC Entertainment president Susan Lyne says of "Karen Sisco." "Rather than give up, we're going to complete production on the [six] remaining episodes and aggressively relaunch the series this March in a new time period.
This bit of news gives me a little hope. A little. Of course they'll probably put it up against Survivor and Friends, or CSI Hoboken or something.
x-post with Jess.

It's a remora, dimwit.
Spanish is her first language and she didn't learn English until she was in school.
This makes me think of her as a better actress. And if the same was true of the guy who plays Ryan on O.C., he'd seem less like Ashton Kutcher on ludes.
Oh, and his exchange with Seth about how many times he's had sex - it made it sound like he was a male prostitute. He was just constantly clueless about what had actually happened, and what would make a date, and if there might be some interim stage between hanging out and sex. Oh, and Marisa's dress, proof that her mother hates her. It looked like a dress made of pieces of several other dresses, like how they show Frankenstein made of bits of multiple corpses.

Any self-respecting prostitute should have numbers to hand, and not only for accurate tax reporting. Professional pride, you know?
Ryan was all "Sex? Yeah, so?" -- like getting him to count how many times he'd played hoops, and on how many courts.
As for his confusion about what constitutes a date -- turns out not much, huh?
