Grissom: (Reads an employee’s name tag) Um . . . TREVOR. You have an awfully ritzy lobby here. The rooms are Dante’s Inferno. Malice Station provides concierge service but can’t afford good housekeeping?
Trevor: Yes, sir. Thank you. Have a nice day!
Mutating viruses are no doubt a cause for concern – but sealing international borders and slaughtering animals seem extreme. Resort to common sense. Wash your hands. Keep your hands off your face. Cover your sneezes. We learned this before first grade, remember?
Heather: “I know, I know, it was an anomaly.”
Brad: ” ‘Anomaly’? Sounds like a new drug. ‘Anomaly: take occasionally . . . just because’.”
Eventually, due to sleeplessness, satellite and syndication, I’m now hooked on CSI. The original CSI is amazing (CSI:NY is good as well, IMO). Petersen / Helgenberger (and Sinise) have long been faves of mine. The technical research, writing and acting are top notch. What an interesting creative team!
Does anyone remember the ‘new’ Twilight Zone series from 1985? There was an episode with William Petersen and Frances McDormand solving a mystery in a small town. Very good. Looking back, the new TZ had some good writers.
Pronoia is the belief that “the universe conspires to shower one with riches and all things wonderful”. I’ve however noticed the universal effluvia coming my way isn’t all roses and greenbacks.
Patchouli: FEMA has it listed! Apparently aging hippies might use it to overpower the citizenry (think Woody Allen in Sleeper overtaking a guard with limburger cheese)!
Director Tim Burton was working on biography of him, when Vincent died in 1993. Burton stated that he was often visited by Vincent’s ghost at night in his bedroom (I hope that Vincent brought a nice dish for nocturnal noshing).
I’d never experienced a 5.4 quake until this morning. I was sitting at my computer when suddenly the floor and walls were ROCKED and ROLLED by awesome power. I had a WTF Moment. My monitors and CPUs bounced. Drawers were knocked open. Glass was broken. By the time the dogs and I ran outside, the quake duration of about 25 seconds had passed. We should all be thankful that the quake was not stronger.
That said, me thinks the media overplayed a bit.
