What's happenin'

Oh my goodness, Law & Order. I think Ed had the worst exit episode ever. And that includes Serena's lesbian reveal and Borgia's fatal beatdown. The man went from 0 to degenerate gambler in 20 minutes. Granted, I missed parts of the episode because I am rewatching season 4 of The Wire and I was flipping back and forth between that and the show. I know Dick likes to drop surprises on us (see Serena again, or Kincaid and McCoy's affair), but a little build up to this episode would have been nice. Some continuity maybe. Dude, who am I talking about?

So Anthony Anderson, huh? I'm not excited. I think I will watch Top Chef instead.

There's a bunch of kids running around the office today. Apparently Take Your Daughter to Work Day still exists. I had no idea. Perhaps that's because last year I was jobless at this time and the couple of years before that I worked at places that weren't totally conducive to bringing your kid along. (Honey, today we're gonna go raid a drug house.) Then again maybe all those tough cops don't want their little girls to grow up and work prostitution stings.

Anyway, some of them are cute. Some are them are noisy. None of them should want to grow up and work here.

Speaking of The Wire S4, you know what's one of the most awesome things on that show? When Dukie smiles. You know what's one of the most heartbreaking things on that show? When Dukie smiles. Along with a million other things (Randy, Michael and Bug, Mr. Prezbo, Bunny, less Beadie). August can't come fast enough and not just because I'm already bitching about the weather (70 in April is hot!), but because season 5 comes out on DVD. I'm not totally excited about the newspaper angle and I already know a bit about what happens to some folks (Omar!), but I have avoided most recaps so I can go in kinda fresh. It's a good thing I'm old and my memory isn't so great because by August I'll likely have forgotten most of what I've been spoiled on.
