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?

*g* I think most of fandom knew this ... okay, the part of Fandom that followed Sentinel, which is probably *not* most of fandom anymore ...

Given that Garrett Maggart (and I'm spelling this without looking it up, always dangerous...) didn't do much other than Sentinel, I think some RPF would be interesting. Rumor has it they are half-siblings and didn't grow up together, which makes it even more... incestering?

*smirk*

Off topic, I watched Nacho Libre (except for the end, which didn't seem to want to get watched, at least not on that machine). Um... I didn't think it seemed all that referencial to the classic lucha films. Did you? Or did I misunderstand what you were saying. Anyway, I think that even though I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, it was still another piece of... not so much lucha libre as kitsch.. but Mexico as Kitschland. (Kitschland Kitschland über alles?). Although I loved the sidekick guy. Also... incidently... "Ramses," who is listed in the credits as El Bronco, is really Silver King (brother of Dr. Wagner Jr), who had been fighting in Japan and Mexico as Black Tiger (for whatever reason). But yeah, yeah... real luchadores... yeah yeah Mexico (except that last time I was in Oaxaca City, nobody could tell me where to see lucha libre).

So what did you think really?

P.S. Finished the conclusion, and I kind of like it for now.

brooklinegirl writes crack (gennish, I think?) about the family and some guy named Ken Wahl. Check out her "Garretverse" tag - it's VERY WEIRD.

Ken Wahl is of Wiseguy fame - Vinnie Terranova, who was a federal agent who went undercover with the mob & such, wore leather & a bad attitude, and people swooned in the late 80s over him. astolat singlehandedly created a (small) Wiseguy fandom last year.

At the risk of sounding like TOTAL asshole, while many soaps are filmed in NYC, DooL isn't one of them- like General Hospital, it shoots in LA.

One of those things that I will, unfortunately, always know.
