Insomnia, Day Three:
Haven’t slept since more than a few hours since getting back from Florida. I keep telling everyone I am “catching up on sleep.” Even my good friends, because I don’t want to burden them. No one told me it would be like this. You are either sick, your pets are sick, or you are stressed, or you have too much to do to think, or you don’t have the time to do what you want to do, or someone is pissed at you and won’t explain why, or your car breaks down, or your dishwasher breaks, or your plants get blight, or something. Always something. Guess I should just consider the fact that my mom, dad, brother, sisters, and pets are healthy. But it just always seems like it is something.
On the other hand, I am watching a lot of old Sopranos episodes. Thank ALLAH I do not have kids. I feel for you people.

A small TV happy for me, and John Cole: TV Squad reports that TNT has secured the rights to Southland, primarily the rights to the seven episodes from last season and the six episodes that NBC made but refused to air:
If you want more episodes, the solution is pretty simple. Show up in droves to watch these. They start airing on Tuesday, January 12 at 10 p.m., ironically against the very show that many people think killed it: The Jay Leno Show. So if you really want to make a statement that NBC might notice, turn TNT’s Southland into the next Sons of Anarchy and actually beat Leno head-to-head!
Good cops are the opposite of the Yankees, because they work hard in defense of the little people. Southland ain’t Boomtown, much less The Unusuals, but I look forward to seeing more episodes… although not on Hulu, if Comcast (another Evil Empire) succeeds with its vile plans.
Also, I think Steve Gilliard would have loved The Unusuals, because it was a very Ankh Morpork New York City series.

Open Thread: Happy Birthday, Zevon
He’s eight years old today, and has been living with us for the last three. When the Spousal Unit picked him up from the nice breed-rescue foster family in Pennsylvania, they told him [name redacted] was the “perfect” Papillon — good-looking, not noisy, reliably housebroken, used to leashes & crates, friendly with cats and other dogs. They couldn’t understand how his original family could ever have given him up! Forty-eight hours after arriving at our house, the New Guy jumped out an open window into a cold, drizzly November twilight, landed on gravel six feet
