    Elise/Second Ep

    The excellent TARflies Times has a nice interview with TAR co-creator Elise Doganier, and it looks like series DVDs are in the works. Yay! Q: Is there any movement towards offering DVDs for the show? A: There is. I’m hearing it’s going to happen. So keep your fingers crossed. I think it’s positive. It’s up to CBS. They’re very aware that people want it. It’s probably going to happen. Q: Good, I know that’s going to make a lot of people happy. A: I can’t wait for it. The fan base has grown so much, people haven’t seen season one…

    Snow!

    Holy cow, is it ever socked in. It started snowing at about 11 this morning, got really dark really fast, and the wind is blowing fit to bust. Naturally, everyone will have forgotten how to drive in snow and there will be lots of stupid idiots on the road. Everyone here is showing the whites of their eyes in re the commute home. On the other hand, I’m prepared… mostly because I never bother to clean out my car, so the snow brush is right in the back where I dropped it the last time I used it. Gloves, though,…

    Recap Heaven, Episode the First

    Miss Alli has posted her first TAR recap of Season Six. Rather than merely quoting and excerpting her snarky goodness, I implore you to click on the link and enjoy the snark first hand. I gar-ron-tee you’ll laugh your head off reading back recaps from previous seasons, too. Enjoy.

    To The Devil Dogs

    Journalist Kevin Sites checks in with a blog post addressed to the guys in the Marine division he’s been traveling with. He’s been getting flack from certain quarters over the video footage he shot during an incident in Fallujah and wants to set the record straight for the guys. So here, ultimately, is how it all plays out: when the Iraqi man in the mosque posed a threat, he was your enemy; when he was subdued he was your responsibility; when he was killed in front of my eyes and my camera — the story of his death became my…

    Gravatars

    Over at clagnut a nifty feature called “Gravatars” has been enabled. These are globally recognized avatars – you sign up for one for free, and any time you comment on a blog that has enabled them, your image pops up next to your comment. They have a rating system, and you can choose whether or not to allow them using the familiar movie rating codes. my husband David might like this for his WordPress blog, I think it would be fun for mine only if I did some tweaking to have inline comments (instead of the current pop-up window) and…

    Amazing Race 6

    Yes, the screaming begins anon. There are a lot of people here, a lot of snark to get through. Adam/Rebecca (generic models) Avi/Joe AKA Geeky Guys Don/Mary Jean AKA Team Duffer Freddy/Kendra (generic models) Gus/Hera AKA Daddy/Daughter Kickass Hayden/Aaron (generic models) Jonathan/Victoria AKA Botox/Boobs, Son Of Colin Daughter of Chucky Kris/Jon (generic models) Lena/Kristy (generic models) Lori/Bolo AKA Wrestlemaniacs Meredith/Maria (actual real women) Not all of the generic model teams above are really models – they’re just suspiciously good looking. I had been prepared to dislike the wrestlers on the basis of stunt casting alone, but have decided it might…

    Kevin Sites

    Kevin Sites is the reporter who shot the video footage in Fallujah of the Marine who allegedly shot a wounded, unarmed insurgent in a mosque. He also has a photoblog full of amazing, wonderful, and disturbing images. Previously, he was working for CNN, who shut his blog down for a while in 2003. The blog is shut down again, along with the commentary forum, which had predictably enough filled up with screaming ranters of the “Support Our Troops!!! Or Else You Hate Amerikkka!!!!” flavor. I hope he’s able to start it up again. In the meantime, what a mess: The…

    CSI NY Repeat Friday

    Yahoo! News – U.S. channel apologises for Arafat interruption I should think so. I was happily watching the latest CSI:NY episode on TiVo, and we were in the last 5 minutes – the part where all the loose ends are tied up and the “twist” is revealed. And then the earth-shaking news that Arafat was dead (again, but for real this time) came on. Highly irritating, because they hadn’t yet revealed ALL of the plot twists, so I’m in the dark. Fortunately, they’ll repeat it tonight. Must verify that TiVo will pick up on it. For some reason, David and…
