Quick note on contemporary cop/spy shows
I like The Wire a lot (especially the first season), but it’s somewhat overrated – I personally think The Shield is a better series.

Earthsea in Japan
From the desk of Ursula K. Le Guin: A First Response to “Gedo Senki,” the Earthsea film made by Goro Miyazaki for Studio Ghibli. I think I may want to watch this one sometime (as opposed to the steaming pile that the Sci-Fi channel created a couple years ago) (wow, 2 gandaaalf-ish posts in a row!)

Fo the G-man
Yo man, this is the kind of shit I mean when I say Oregon is weird. That’s not to say that Cali isn’t weird, either, because it is – it’s just less… GANDAAALF!!! You just know they gotta have a community elvinweed/entshroom patch up in there.
