Gandolfi played a serial killer for hire. Buscemi, can't remember either. Duchovny, you gotta be kidding. Hall has been noted to be a depressive sort. Let's pretend I was brave enough to pull the trigger on this one.

I happened to be in Phoenix on my birthday one year, and my brother took me to the Compass for my present. The food was overpriced as food, but as a birthday present, it was perfect. I've also eaten at the Sydney Tower Buffet -- only $18! It was much more expensive than the other Aussie places we went for dinner, but based on my dining experiences here in the States, I thought it was a bargain.

Time to use a lifeline. I'll ATA and hope they know it.

If you can borrow the Dexter DVDs from the library or Netflix or something, they're definitely worth the time.

If you're not squeamish!
