the internet is for ... is for .... it's for something, anyway

I'm on dial-up until laptop returns to me (the service people haven't even called back with a diagnosis yet, after a full week, which is Not A Good Sign) and also am busier than I have ever been before in my whole busy life. Yet I still am doing my share of random clicking around. Or slightly more than my share. So this was the fruit of my random clicking this morning:

Did you know that Fiona Apple's (shut up, I like "Extraordinary Machine") brother is the actor who played the cop's sidekick/hippie anthropologist on "The Sentinel"?

Yeah, you knew that already, plus long ago you wrote some very kinky RPF about the whole family, including ironic observations about how every actor/media person in the world (or at least New York and environs) has worked on Days of Our Lives at least once.

So send me the link already, okay?

eta I'm sure I'll be sorry that I asked, but who is this Ken Wahl of whom you tell me?

A weird 20-year-old Russian girl who was trying to do a glamor tour of NYC gushingly told me the same thing a few months ago, to my immense amusement and B's intense annoyance. I think what I knew was ...how to get back to the subway or where to get a bite to eat or something.

Anyway, no, I know way too embarrassingly much about soaps. Unless you ask suzanne_laura and co, in which case I'm a rank amateur. But how did DooL end up in the picture, anyway? Was Fiona Apple on it? And what's wrong with Fiona Apple, anyway, that thou woulds't disown her?

Where to get food IS everything to a hungry person. For instance a hungry glamorous Russian tourist person.

Pretty much everyone involved in The Sentinel, plus Ken Wahl (I think Ken Wahl) also had played minor roles (I think minor) on DooL. But not Fiona Apple as far as I can see. (Thanks, IMDB!)

And nothing wrong with Fiona Apple from my POV but my hipster-ish grad student sniggered when she found me listening to some in my office one day, and I took that to heart.
