DATELINE: The 'Burgh

I've been busy tonight, entering in the info from the last few days of interviews while going through some episodes of Dexter. It's not as high quality as Six Feet Under but it is interesting. I do like the fella who plays Dexter (he also played the gay brother on Six Feet Under). He's hella creepy. After the last episode ended a few minutes ago I flipped to CNN to see the end of a report about the Virginia Tech killer's family in S. Korea. The ever intrepid (and dreamy) Anderson Cooper tracked down that crazy dude's great aunt and she dished some family dirt. While sitting in her apartment, the 85 year old woman talked about how everybody knew the killer was nuts even when he was a little kid in S. Korea, before his family moved to the US. She said that she knew the kid had problems because he never talked to anyone, and said that whenever she talked to his parents after they moved to the states they were worried about him. My favorite quote was "I knew he had problems but I never thought he would cause a problem...the idiot". Harsh words indeed.

Anyhooters, I've been bumping around town doing my thang, interviewing big shots and taking no prisoners. It's been nice being in town and having the opportunity to run around downtown. The pictures below are from my Pittsburgh travels.














These pictures are the swanky views from a few of the offices I visited.

1. I love that you've been using the term "anyhooters" lately. Not that I'm counting, but I think this is the third time we've seen its appearance. Please keep up the good work.

2. Did you go back to Candy Rama when it was open?

Hi Allison - how was your trip to T-Dot? I heard that there might be some exciting changes to the food carts in town. Did you get some of that crappy weather that hit most of the NE USA?

Unfortunately the Candy Rama is permanently closed up. I would have loved to get my hands on some Around the World Candies.

The novel, Darkly Dreaming Dexter, on which the series is based, is pure shite-- as far as serial killer novels go.

I read a good review in the NYTimes about the show.

Is it out on dvd yet?
