Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

Aw...that's romantic as a motherfucker. Go them! Much better than finding out Miss Ella Thompson died of a heart attack.

That's freaky cause I just reread The Corner this week. Baltimore hivemind hollaback. (Someday they are going to find me broken, alone, speaking some unintelligible patois full of things like "Foamy...that's some *bullshit* and "Salad shooters,"Please claim my ass before government researchers do...kthxbye.) Dag. Did it again.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Rome is burning.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

JfC: I'm at ep 7, I think. I kinda love Kai. And love that she loves Butchie, even though he clearly doesn't deserve it. This really is a pretty hopeful show. I mean, they've all got a road to redemption, if you will. And, it seems like the kind of show where at least most of them just might stay on it, more or less.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

All out of Deadwood. Fuck.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

I know! Really didn't expect to miss it so much, since I got dragged kicking and screaming, like a whore with her monthly, to watch it in the first place. But I do. Even Swergin.(compelling cocksucker that he is and fuckin' show-stealer too. The other actors must hate him sometimes, though I think they really like McShane lots) But especially Jane, Trixie, and the Doc are my favorites.

Especially Swegin. Especially, of course, except for all the other cocksuckers.
