I have seen about five minutes of this show, but only because it's been on 
when my tape of Buffy finished.  At least it has strong women but it loses 
points because (at least for the bit I saw) all they do is moan about not 
having men.

>I *love* to eat raw fish.

Yeah!  I live on the California coast and there is not a single sushi bar 
until you hit Santa Rosa, a place where I find the concept of sushi rather 
suspect.  I'll drive another hour and go to Oakland.

>Am I in?  Or am I just old?

Old, shmold - like what you like.  Raw fish is good, watching the stuff you 
enjoy is good, having any kind of personal tastes and ideas is 
brilliant.  I always wonder at the folks who, when they turn on their radio 
and a cassette or CD starts to play, look embarrassed and start apologizing 
for their taste in music.  Go with what you like.  You're the one who lives 
with it.

*sniff* What's wrong with Target?  They have jeans that are long enough in 
different rises and are cheap!

The only thing pop culture is really good for is getting all of the jokes 
on "The Simpsons".

More coffee!
