Carrie Prejean turned the video camera off, put on some clothes, and stepped out of her house. It was a beautiful day outside. The air smelled like apples, and the late morning light hit the world in just such a...

I know I am living in the times of the dinosaurs and whatnot, but I don't have tivo or DVR. That said, Lost has been blowing my mind so thoroughly every week that I really don't have the ability to watch anything after it.

Score = 2

Ah, I should have read closer. Sorry

We should always support Adam Goldberg. Only reason I am putting it on my DVR tonight.

And what was the excuse for stealing that copy machine bit from Homicide (both the book and the TV show) -- which was later borrowed for the Wire? Why use something that's already been on TV twice? There have to be better ways to pay homage, if that's what they were going for.

Okay, maybe it was an homage to the Wire, seeing as how Dukie just made a cameo. Obsessed Wire fan shutting up and signing off now.
