Yeah, downloaded Season 1 like two weeks ago and pounded through it. I love any show where somebody competent is showing you his craft and providing education; Burn Notice is like the Good Eats of spy shows. Also, Bruce Campbell is adorable.

EDIT: I should note that I realize that many of the things they show you in the show must be inaccurate in some way or another; while the scene where he uses nail polish remover to take all the ink off a check except for the signature looks convincing, I am willing to bet it's not a viable way to commit check fraud, simply because it was allowed to go on television.

In a purely technical sense, yes, it works. In a real-world sense, not so much, since that's pretty much one of the first things any bank teller is taught to look for, and is kind of obvious if you're looking for it.

Yeah, that's what I figured.

By the way, the modern cell phone is more dangerous than the fucking hydrogen bomb.

If Bumcivillian was real, that'd be hilarious and amazing all at the same time. I <3 you, Look Around You.

I always hate that random Cake Challenges are on at 3 am on Food Network. I feel compelled to watch them, but since it's always on a sunday night, I should really just be going to bed.

But....cake...on tv.

I've been watching Firefly pretty much all day today. It's fun. Maybe not exactly the orgasm I was expecting, but I've been having fun with it so far. I was actually surprised to find out that River Tam isn't the little 100-pound berserker that she is in the movie.

I, too, watched the movie before seeing the series. The movie was very, very confusing because of this.

Andy Richter returns to the loving bosom of Conan.

Hoooray.

Essential. Max Weinberg won't be returning until September, Conan takes over The Tonight Show in June, and Richter has been living in L.A. for nearly a decade now.

Andy was the reason I watched Conan's show, and his departure was the reason I stopped watching.

Sinful Fact: I don't like Andy Richter.

Sometimes, when I'm bored, I like to watch Cash Cab. And it always makes me wonder why the video bonus at the end of a successful ride is always so ridiculously easy. They always ask these questions that are unbelievably easy. And they're supposed to go up in difficulty throughout the ride, and then they give this last question and it's like...wow. Really?
