Logged onto the local newspaper when I got up this morning. The current weather said “mist.” Loudest damned mist I’ve ever heard. We got a good soaking. Puddles in the yard, ditch nearly full to overflowing. Mist, indeed.
I was going to treat myself to breakfast at the bagel shop this morning but I got so wrapped up in work that I ran out of time. Didn’t even shave. Look sort of like this guy.
So, House‘s end is nigh. I’m not sure exactly when I first started watching the show. I think I missed the first few seasons, though I eventually caught up with them during perpetual reruns on TNT or TBS or one of those stations. The show was always running when I was at the gym at noon. I’ve watched it faithfully ever since. Didn’t mind when Cuddy left (there’s only so many ways to express disapproval and the whole relationship with House thing was incredible. Really enjoyed the Amber and Thirteen characters and was sad when both left, under wildly (Wilde-ly?) different circumstances. They’ve tried injecting other quirky characters, but they never lived up to their promise. I really thought Adams was going to be good, based on the early episodes at the season, but she doesn’t have much depth. So Fox isn’t going to pick it up next season. It had a good run. All things come to an end.
Raylan proved this week on Justified that he’s lethal with more than his gun. And what a gun. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a perspective shot on a pistol like the one when he was entering the motel room outside of Pulp Fiction. Thing looked like a cannon. But he doesn’t need it, when the circumstances are right. All he needs is the gas pedal. You’d think a guy getting run over twice would be in more obvious pain than his victim was, though. And another of the old crew was “fired,” though Dickie survives to sin another day. Based on the previews, next week’s episode is based on one of the subplots in the new Elmore Leonard novel Raylan. The bit about taking kidneys for ransom. However, the novel and the TV show are set in parallel realities so they could be wildly different takes on this notion.
The first post-Catherine episode of CSI. Gone but not forgotten. The crime in this one was truly wacky, and the culprit came out of left field. Hard to imagine him skulking around in elevators snipping off locks of hair.
Found another site hosting a pirated version of one of my works. Filed a DMCA claim with them and waiting to hear back to see if they’ll take action.
