Half-Cocked: A coupla things

September 19, 2004

I just realized I didn't have a link to Rufus T. Firefly's world wide web log Running With Lawyers. How silly of me. He's not only crazy for an insurance defense lawyer (the one's I've met seem like The Family Circus is the pinnacle of humor for them), he's just straight up crazy, but in an awesome way. And by awesome, I mean totally sweet.

The Wire blogging will begin later tonight. I expect hits to go through the roof. When I blogged Deadwood earlier this year, I got more hits from people googling "Deadwood", "Al Swearengen", "Wild Bill" and "Seth Bullock" than I could have ever hoped to get from people googling "How to totally bomb your contracts final."

I just viewed the preview for the 3rd season on HBO's Wire site and I'm sort of disappointed. The plot I found most interesting from last season, the dope smuggling and cargo stealing through the port of Baltimore and it's connection to a shadowy old codger known as "The Greek" seems to be completely absent.

The drug plot involving Stringer Bell, Avon Barksdale seems to still be the main focus. It looks like Omar is still around looking to kill anyone who looks at him funny and I caught a glimpse of Assistant State's Attorney Rhonda Pearlman putting the moves on Lt. Daniels. The big question is whether the cops will bring in Proposition Joe for his connections to The Greek or leave him out there in order to get more information.
