The Wire!

It's too late for Christmas (unless you pay for next-day shipping, which kind of defeats the purpose), but Amazon's selling the complete run of The Wire for $74.99 (63% off). That's basically $15 a season for some of the best writing and acting in TV history.

Am otherwise mostly offline in FLA, gaining weight and reading books. See y'all after the holidays.

Because the holiday season does not stop the assholes

1. In case there was ever any doubt that Hollywood contains some unholy combination of ignorance, racism, and general hatred for all that is good, here's a shining example of their stellar views of Hispanic women (link via rosefox on Twitter).

2. Meanwhile, don't even get me started on how horrified half the sports "journalism" and blogging world is at the idea that Rex Ryan might have a *gasp* not-vanilla sex life. As if it should matter to anyone, since he's "accused" of doing nothing that isn't consensual in the slightest. Of course, there's a good deal of "ZOMG, fat people having sex" shit thrown in here, too.

New Heather Dale!

Heather Dale's latest album, Avalon, apparently went live for download last week. I'm downloading it now. You should, too.
