I can't read any more pilot synopses, so I'm just gonna vote with my heart, not my head.

I'm overwhelmed by the number of pilots to choose from! Are the shows that say straight-to-series not eligible? Or are they just worth fewer points?

My first thought was Seal the singer.

You're livin' in the past, man! You're hung up on some clown from the sixties, man!

I wonder if 31 being ruled incorrect was contested. My mom always referred to Baskin-Robbins as 31. She was born and raised in Connecticut, so maybe it's a regional thing? Can any New Englanders corroborate this?

Lousy Smarch reruns!

Ged ged yah!

Chicanery! Thank you for reminding me of that.

I've been using Duolingo to learn French. I also use Lingvist, which I highly recommend.

Thanks to The Young Pope, my first thought for FJ was Pius. But then I rejected that, thinking it's Pio in Italian, so maybe it's also Pio in Latin.

Svengali/Svengoolie Update:

Ah yes, princesses and brides. The aspirations of little girls everywhere. <sigh>

The article describes this photo as having an L.L.Bean vibe, but I think it's more JCPenney or Montgomery Ward.

For some reason, I'm picturing him auditioning in Hannibal's clear plastic murder suit.

It's a facehugger! Kill it!

No Riverdale tonight. Phooey! I guess The CW doesn't want to counter-program against its sister station CBS' basketball games. 'Cause the tournament needs all the ratings help it can get.

I'm so mad at myself for missing FJ. I immediately blurted out Copacabana. I knew that was wrong, but it earwormed into my brain and I couldn't come up with the right answer. Damn you, Barry Manilow! Damn you and your catchy songs!

I love A Knight's Tale! Ooh, good time for a re-watch.

Speaking of Hap and Leonard, season 2 premieres tonight!

Loved every scene with Chick. Of course he disposes of bodies with a Viking funeral. He would never just put the body in a car trunk and push the car into a lake. Chick's an artsy-craftsy, back-to-nature kind of guy.
