Brief interlude of sorrow and tears

[eye_of_a_cat]

People, watch what you select as work-reward TV: season 4 of The Wire is breaking my heart. (Although I would still like to demand that everyone else who hasn't seen The Wire start watching now - RIGHT NOW, I'll wait here - because it truly is as good as its best praise says it is, with the caveat that it's a tiny bit rocky in the first few episodes compared to its complete genius later on, and so you need to stick with it for a little while when you're no more than vaguely curious about what's going to happen next. The heartbreak will come, I promise you.)
