It warms my heart that someone knows this. I just remember that she was hired when she was drawing caricatures on the street. But they never explained how she went from creating death simulations to being a crazy hacker, rebuild programs tech wiz.

Even I'm sick of this show, and I watch Castle for shit's sake.

SPOILERS CONTINUE:
I know, this was our problem with the season finale as well. Dude, how was your dad, who didn't even know about your existence, since he was already buried when you were born, supposed to do anything? He did what? Got himself spell-ified prior to your existence? So you want to punish him? It's not

What? You can actually get HBO Go to work? We're still trying to watch the first episode of the season, but get angry after a half hour of 30 seconds of show to 5 minutes of "Loading…."

What, did Trent Reznor steal your parking space at Target or something? I think he has a legitimate reason to be annoyed with them cutting off his set early, regardless of how you might feel about his music.

I was detained by the police when I was in high school because a couple friends and I were in the park after it was "closed" for the night. There were no posted hours anywhere, this was a pretty small town, and we were just walking around and playing on the swings. They made lots of vague threats and called my

My mom is one of those people who is always trying to figure out what the twist is, so she ruined The Sixth Sense and Usual Suspects by figuring it out early on. I'm used to that. What bothers me more is when people ruin major character deaths. For instance, Mr. Brewman and I are finally watching the Wire (I know, I

Me, too! I always thought it was funny. Years later, I'm watching Predator, or a Star Trek movie, and it's like, "Oh, I know how this ends!"

Didn't Simmons explicitly say that the administration encourages the existence of the club now, because the students come up with amazing ideas there? I hate this stupid nitpicking of SHIELD every week, like last week with the tweezers. Agent Coulson grabbed them off the table. Have problems with other areas of the

What I've learned from this is that bright eyeshadow = villainy.

One can never be considered "fine" while wearing high-waisted shorts, in my humble opinion. I guess I'm hitting the "get off my lawn!" phase of my life now.

Yeah, this was my big question about the song. Does he mean the armholes? Or is he just wearing a really ragged sweater full of holes? Also, what kind of an idiot is wearing high-waisted shorts to the beach if it's cold enough that her gentleman caller is wearing a sweater?

I just re-read this and realized you were also reading Tony Hoagland. Hooray for him! I attended a reading he was doing, and he's just as much fun in person as you would think.

I really liked Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion. I ended up having a much harder time with the two Endymion books. I don't know if it's just that I don't like the main character (Aenea) in them as much as anyone in the Hyperion books, or if Simmons has just front-loaded so much mystery in the first two that the last two

Greater than Tess of the D'Urbervilles? Man that was depressing.

I'm finally almost finished with the Rise of Enymion, which took me way longer than the others. I think it's because there's a lot of "let's have a big meeting where I explain to everyone what each group's motivation is and what's really been happening" and it's annoying me (show, don't tell!). I was going to read the

I remember really liking White Noise when I read it for class, but then I tried to read Libra and could not get into it. It's still on my bookshelf, because I can't bear to get rid of it either.

I read the Road in one day when I was home from work due to a bomb threat. Needless to say, it put me in a really weird headspace and I had pretty awful nightmares for a week after. So good yet so brutal.

Carl Hiaasen is pretty good, but his stuff all starts to blur together after awhile. I think my favorites of his were Basket Case and Sick Puppy, but your mileage after that may vary.

I just liked following shows not for the notifications, but because it's easy to access each show's landing page and get reviews from there. For instance, I finally got Mr.Brewman into DS9, and now to find any of the older reviews in the new site (we're in season 2), I have to do a search, click on the first review
