I Want My Houseboat Days

Cool news of the day is this: John Ashbery has been chosen as the first poet laureate of the MTV generation.  Sixteen poetry "spots" will air on MTVU this fall.  I'm lovin' it!

If you enjoy a good sleuth movie on a cold, wet, white day, then here's a recommendation for you.  Check out Wire in the Blood, a British  series that I've recently discovered through Netflix.  (What was life before Netflix?)  The protagonists are a male psychologist (Robson Green) and a female chief of police (Hermione Norris).  Their unrequieted love affair is to-die-for.  The characters are based on the murder mysteries of Scottish writer, Val McDermid.
