Sometimes I discover TV shows the way Columbus discovered America: I land on a property that clearly supports a lively settled population, and treat it like an unknown wilderness territory. "Say, has anyone watched this show The Americans? It's really good! And Keri Russell is in it!" That sort of thing. Anyway, my most recent discovery - "discovery" - is that Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, whom I know mostly via American Horror Story, have a first-responder EMT show called 9-1-1, which is like those shows have always been except really much better. I grew up with Emergency! and Adam-12 (my mom loved them both), so this has been a treat. Most of you who live in American TV-land surely knew about this already, but I was delighted and surprised.

Also, here's a copy of The chronicles of Emerland. Solitaire. That's not a typo, it has a period like that in the title. This looks like a fairly robust spin on variant-solitaire, with games only vaguely related to the solitaire we know from the real world. These kinds of games are perfect for brain downtime of a certain flavor, maybe it will match your mood! It's an old key, but just newly revealed, so it should play like new. Please let me know if you have trouble with it.
