Relentless triviality is a sign of progress

[hirez]

Since I seem to have caused bits of FaceAche to take on all the charm and character that I had missed since abandoning the Usenet (nb: sarcasm), I shall have my relentless triviality here instead.

First Trivial Item: Those of you not watching the televisual entertainment named 'Castle' are missing a trick. For a programme which is basically a C21st version of 'Moonlighting' with the serial numbers filed off, it's really quite splendidly meta. Whichever one was on t'box last even contained bonkers fandom, explanations of 'shipping' (non-cargo-related sense) and arm-waving about plagiarism. I like to believe that the writers are having a whale of a time with it.

Second Trivial Item: Is it just me that gets stared at like a stuffed owl for bringing fruit into the office? Note that I don't actually work in a greengrocer's or some manner of meat-packing plant. I've worked next to a meat-packing plant, but not in one. Although when the weather was warm, it was hard to tell the difference.

Julie and I are midway through season two of Castle.

I compared it more to Murder She Wrote.

But in case, good, silly, fun.

It's like Murder She Wrote if Jessica Fletcher was a smoking hot, dirty-minded, sarcastic, probably (in my head) slightly kinky man.

Which is just wrong!
