More sauntering
It's another nice morning here in Manhattan, so once again I decided to walk the 26 blocks to the office. It's partly because I'm in no particular hurry to get to work, and partly because it's good for my fat ass.
On the way this morning I saw a Tylenol billboard that said for every one pound of weight lost, four pounds of pressure are taken off your knees. I'm all for that.
But the most iconic NYC thing, if you will, I saw this morning was a guy taking a pee completely in sight of everyone on 9th Avenue. This wasn't one of those crazy homeless guys; oh no, it was just some worker dude who didn't even bother to find a john. Or even walk farther down the street to at least hide the fact that he was pissing in front of everyone for that matter.
As I passed him, by strange chance a female cop was walking my way. She didn't look like a parking cop as they have different patches on their uniforms. I told her there was a guy pissing around the corner. Her response?
"I don't wanna see that!"
*sigh*
And in semi-related NYPD news, could last week's teaser for last night's episode "Closet" of SVU be any worse? I'm guessing NBC chose to purposely ignore the gay athlete storyline and instead chose to focus on Bill Pullman's 2 minutes on screen? WTF? I tuned in last night more than halfway through, and when I saw the pretty, pretty guy Lincoln (played by an actor named Bailey Chase if you're interested) I was pissed that I might have actually enjoyed the episode. But noooooo, don't tell us that the storyline might actually mention homosexual reltionships, NBC! Instead, show us the awkward weird kiss between Oh I've Been Dating Her For Months Offscreen, Why Don't You Move In With Me Bill Pullman Character and Worst Detective EVAH Olivia Benson Who Had The Audacity To Be Annoyed When It Was Her Fault Cute Gay Sports Guy Almost Got Killed?
GAH, this show. Next week is Robin Williams chewing the scenery and shitting out Emmy nominations. That's a big HELL TO THE NO. I'll hold up my end of the bargain to the 170+ people that subscribe to my YouTube channel in order to watch the teasers, but that's it.
Meloni, when you're done with that poorly-written crap, let us know, okay? Even you can't get me to watch anymore.

And next week. *shudders*
Bailey Chase played the near-silent Graham in the Buffy "Initiative" arc. He was the only pretty thing on screen most of the time. He's matured nicely and could easily play brother to the 4400 guy (who may or may not have played brother to John Sheppard on SG Atlantis, which just brings my twisted little world full-circle!)
Olivia was a fuck-up extraordinaire last night, and Lincoln's quiet dignity was nicely played (until they proved via some film clip you'd think the team management would've destroyed, that he has a temper.) "I loved him," "I married him", etc. Coulda been a good storyline--until Stabler and Benson started prodding him under interrogation.
And clearly Meloni thought the whole thing was crap, cause you could hear how he had to force out every word. What, did he spend so much time prior to the episode yelling at his agent?
I too was halfway through the ep thinking "*was* this the Bill Pullman week or is that next week?" And talk about Chemistryless--what a lousy kiss and what a lousy girlfriend she is. (And wasn't she just "I have nobody" a few eps ago?)
And finally, was she joking or did she really break up with the guy after all?
Sigh. Another mediocre ep. At least the countdown to less Chester and less bad Casey wardrobe is on!
Yeah, at the bar when she was talking to Ell, she's like, "We broke up." WTF? What the hell was the point?
I also would have thought that, given, their jobs, the detectives would have had a bit more compassion for this guy Lincoln.....even when the evidence was pointing towards him.
Meloni, when you're done with that poorly-written crap, let us know, okay?
ITA. The show will not get better. He should leave while SVU is still a popular show, I don't think he will have any problem to find work. I'll miss Elliot but I'd love to see Meloni doing a quality tv show again.
And gotta love Bailey Chase... good for him for getting regular TV work all over the place after just being pretty military dude on Buffy. Ahh... Buffy, I own all of ye seasons and haven't watched in years for some reason. I guess it'll have to wait when I get off my XF addiction after this summer.
Also, NOBODY wants to see that; that's why I'm telling you, Officer, so you can make it stop! Wishful thinking, then? Seesh.
