09 Oct 08 Warrick Brown killed off on CSI .. nice episode tonight …. will miss Gary Dourdan
Well it was tough enough realising that Warrick will no longer be on CSI, and it was a great episode.
OK, enough with the jokes about how everyone is sexy and fit and charming (and works for the police) … I know only one such police officer (and I DJed at his wedding 
) …..
But I really liked Gary Dourdan as the blue eyed black african-american mulatto cool dude with passion and style on the show.
According to most reports his departure from the show was “mutually acceptable”…..
It was a great premier episode in finding out who killed him 
….
So, CSI and CSI:NY are still in my top 10 fiction TV shows…. along with The Unit (which has been shuffled to Sunday nights at 10pm boooooo)

05 Oct 08 CBS 60 Minutes report on Delta Force mission lead by “Dalton Fury” against Osama Bin Laden… pre-empted at 8:00pm by the Amazing Race!
Talk about annoying.
I was just watching a pretty fascinating story on 60 minutes with the commander of the Delta Force unit (about 50 top commandos) sent into the hills of Afghanistan via Tora Bora to hunt down and kill Osama Bin Laden. They had heavily disguised the Delta Force commander, who has just written a book about the mission under the pseudonym Dalton Fury, and had first time video of the mission, which was to approach the 14,000 foot summits in the Afghan mountains where Bin Laden was suspected to be holed up.
Previous strategies to approach by surprise from the top side of the 14K mountains and another one to litter the path through the mountains with air-dropped landmines by unknown sources higher up, either in Central Command or even higher (i.e. POTUS)…

24 Nov 07 CTV W5 : The Suicide Tourist .. 2 hour special on Swiss group Dignitas – Craig Ewert story…
This looks like a pretty incredible show – about Swiss group Dignitas that assists suicides. I am not so sure I want… or need.. to watch this this evening.
I am sure it will be incredible.
I will be heating up my Presidents Choice chicken wings to perhaps watch this from the comfort of my couch. Since the Habs aren’t on CBC tonight. Grrr…
4 minutes in and it segueways to Harrogate England… more to come

03 Mar 07 Seriously rough episode of Cold Case : Mother loses 4 sons to gang violence…
Interesting… a long time friend and work colleague once snickered off the growth of gang violence in Montreal a few years ago.
Now that the Crips and Bloods are well alive in da 514, and even my boys are impacted by this in some indirect way…. even at 4 and 5 years old.
Vive le taxage, vol d’identité, et mashup de tout ca ensemble grâce aux… nouvelles technologies et nouvelles facons de vivre.
So, watching a particularly rough episode of Cold Case tonight.. they’re investigating the murder of a (black) teen/pre-teen murdered in an apparent gangbanger situation. The mother has had 3 of her other sons murdered in similar ways… and has only one other son left.
But life is good.
Tristan learned where Australia, London, Bora Bora and Kolkata (Calcutta) India was. He also understood that his grandfather (Satya, on my side) was from Calcutta… and pronounced it in such a sweet way…
Zachary, de son côté, était en train d’apprécier le cereal Life Son d’avoine.
Hmmm I have previous draft posts that I haven’t published – from Christmas etc etc!!!
