I’ve started reading the “Missed Connections” section of craiglist, on the grounds that it ought to be hilarious. Sometimes it is; other times, you get stuff like this, which is sort of hilarius, but also sort of disturbing.

To the girl “shoplifting” at Safeway this morning - m4w

I make deliveries in the mornings, and I’ve seen you do this before, you go into stores, steal alcohol, and then get “caught” stealing hairdye. ((Hidden in your underwear for the fourth time, now!)) They say the same things, and you say the same things and make the same actions, if I hadn’t seen you do this before I’dve said you were sincerly scared today. What’s the thrill, Safeway girl? Why the glint in your eye when you hear a clerk paging for security? You know you could make a clean getaway with everything else, why do you always get caught with the hairdye?

PS: Don’t worry, I won’t tell.
PPS: Today was the second day I heard you walk out and say “Suckers.” Very cute.

I would love to actually take you out for drinks sometime. Maybe buy you a bottle of your fav so you don’t have to hustle in the early mornings??

I’m getting a lot of traffic from google searches about ??Alias?? and the ??Alias?? finale; I seem to be much higher in the google search results than I would have expected.

Anyway, I don’t mind the traffic of course, but if you’re looking for a synopsis of the finale, I would try “tv.com,”:http://www.tv.com/alias/show/3451/summary.html?tag=topten;title;4 which is usually a good resource for that.

If you would like to actually watch the show, I direct you to “ABC’s shockingly good”:http://dynamic.abc.go.com/streaming/landing streaming site, at least for US viewers. If you’re a mac user having trouble installing the latest version of flash, you might want to try killing the process through the activity monitor rather than canceling it when it hangs. (Obviously, I take no responsibility if your computer explodes, killing your dog or ruining your new haircut.)

If, on the other hand, you’re interested in _my_ thoughts on the subject, see “this post.”:http://kukkurovaca.textdriven.com/gramarye/archives/alias-finale-obviously-spoilerful

Happy stuff!

I seem to have pulled from third to first in search results for “gramarye”:http://www.google.com/search?q=gramarye&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial

Boing Boing: Animal overpasses enable critters’ “sex across the highway”

Some of us (Dan, Matt, and I, possibly?) did this a few years ago, but I hadn’t realized it was a broader phenomenon.
