And beautiful arcs of electricity not seen since the odd TV series, Dracula, with Jonathan Rhys-Myers.

You mean like in early Guy Ritchie movies?

I know … I'm truly worried. OTOH, James McAvoy cracking wise and masticating scenery … just so very torn.

The one you actually feel a modicum of sympathy for?

My impression from Season 1 is that Cookie groks Jamal's sound more than
Lucious does, not just because of family dynamics, but stylistic
issues, too. Him coming to her for help doesn't strike me as outlandish,
although it would have been nice to see them *work* out their issues.

I admit to liking the sitar portion, but I like non-standard instruments in rock/pop songs. Then Lucious put in the gun shots and completely ruined the song for me.

Dang it! Chad needs it more!

Onion pakoras? Mmm … pakoras.

2016 John Lewis commercial?

Nope. Still bitter.

Are they European?

I found a can of white clam sauce at a foreign foods/deli spot a few weeks ago. Last night, I made linguine w/ clams, but I bumped up the can with another can of chopped clams, some butter, lemon juice, minced garlic and white wine. Not restaurant quality, but pretty nice.

Frell. Sympathies and wishes that you kick cancer in the 'nads.

I once made a joke about making a Shirley Temple with vodka and calling it a "Shirley Temple Black".

Fentiman's is awesome stuff, but they used to brag about having a *slight* amount of alcohol in most of them. (That said, the Shandy is delicious)

That's almost a flattering photo of Jon Benjamin.* Where has that been hiding and how much Photoshop was done?**

Cache was interesting. Perhaps not to best choice to watch while on an international flight, but interesting.

Cool. So, you can do a slow burn/piling on that gets them from "seemingly well-adjusted and fulfilling life" to "death, or fate worse than." It sounds like you have Point A down pat. Where do you want them to end up at Point B (or Point Z/Omega/Le Fin)? And what are the circumstances at Point A that will send them…

OTOH, I don't play console games, but the ad for Fallout 4 that I saw last night looked really sweet.

Haven't heard of that one … if you enjoyed said strange book, then cool.
