I'll Talk To You

Do you have a long list of things and people that are "dead to you" ala the Colbert Report? I've tried for years to stay off that list! (I know I must come close to getting it on it sometimes.)
Rebates. It's a flim-flam game, Sir. Your expectations are too high. They (you know, "they") offer rebates as a sexy come on then find some loophole so they don't have to put out. Well, maybe every now and then. An inconsistent incentive is the most effective.
Parking. If you really want to mark your space, claim it as your own, just leave a poop! That's what the neighbor's cat does.
Other. Are you happy that _Heroes_ is back on?
I have tuned in to _Drive_ which may look stupid on the surface but is quite gripping. Like the first season of _24_. Or maybe _Lost_ although I haven't watched that. It appeared to me by accident when I was channel flipping and I managed to catch the premiere eps. There is Caleb!fromBuffy (happily, no longer eeeevil) and Sharon!fromWonderfalls (sadly, no longer a lesbian?) and Fred!fromAngel (thankfully, no longer southern). It's a Tim Minear show - a guy involved in producing all of the aforementioned. Nice that he keeps his peeps employed.
But there's also... Pauline!fromHeavenlyCreatures (expectedly, no longer accented). I know you love Paul :) I think I've even seen some photos where you look a little like her.

My, my, my where to start?
Not a list set in stone per se. It's easier to make a list of things that aren't dead to me.
I've heard all kinds of rebate horror stories, but I've been pretty lucky so far, I guess. Nor will this incident prevent me from using them in the future (although I may think twice if it's a T-Mobile offer).
I missed "Heroes" terribly when it left for its two-month hiatus (I kid. Only a month. But Christ, I don't remember shows drawing out their seasons with month-long spring breaks in the old days). But then we discovered "Dexter" on Showtime, a show I personally enjoy more: less confusing, less to remember week to week, a more intriguing premise, and the best opening credit sequence I've ever seen. "Heroes" is still okay, I suppose...
"Drive" does look stupid on the surface, despite Nathan Fillon (who I've fallen in love with a little since seeing "Slither"). Guess I'll have to check it out on DVD. I can only watch so much TV in a day before teh Snarry beckons.

Despite the fact that this isn't my journal and I surely don't know you, your anonymous-ness is killing me. Oh, despicable mystery! How you taunt me!
Anyway, Fred!fromAngel = not really southern? She'd better be secretly british, like House!fromHouse, or I'll be terribly depressed at not having known this before.

At the risk of destroying her mystery, my anonymous guest is my long-time friend from college, Beth ("Bear"). She of the golden hair, the tree-like torso and the tinkling laughter. She from whom I would not take no for an answer, despite being first straight and then in love with my adorable sister (rot her soul), also straight. She for whom my love knows no bounds, despite her refusal to join LJ properly.
