The Apple music store currently has the pilot episode of the new series 'Conviction' out there for free download. One of the stars of this show is J. August Richards, aka Gunn on Angel.


Conviction

This is the stunning new drama from the creator of Law & Order, offering viewers a provocative look into the cases and lives of New York Assistant District Attorneys. They're young and over their heads, pushing to prove themselves in the world's biggest city and most tumultuous courtrooms. But whatever they lack in experience, they more than make up for in their passion to make their case. The series stars a dynamic ensemble of powerful young actors, each providing portrayals of exciting depth and complexity. Nothing comes easy for these determined A.D.A.'s, either in their professional or personal lives. The stakes are at their highest but the prosecution never rests - in or out of court. New York is the ultimate proving ground, and only one thing matters: Conviction.

Personalized license plates

Ever dislike someone just based on their car's license plate?

I did yesterday on the way home from work. It was some fancy expensive car. I don't remember what kind, but the name/model started with the letter T and ended in a vowel. Also, the logo was sort of a T.
Anyway, their plate said BETRDNU. I was just really annoyed that this guy (or girl) thought they were better than me. If I was going to get in an accident on the highway and rear-end another car, I'd want it to be that one!

21. I once had to play midwife to a cat.
The first day of ninth grade when I came home from school, our cat Lillie was in labor but she wouldn't lay down in her box. She would wander around not relaxing unless I sat out on the porch with her. Then she would lay in her box and attempt to give birth. Even after the first two kittens were born she wouldn't let me leave. If I tried she started pacing again. She had five kittens in all and we named them Spot, Rover, Lassie, Fido, and Milkshake.

22. Although I was only 5 years old when it happened I still vaguely remember the Bicentennial Independence Day. Neopolitan ice cream didn't have chocolate that year, it had blueberry so that the three colors would be red (ok, more like pink), white and blue. Also, I do remember going to a parade with mom & dad which we pretty much never did after moving to Minnesota.

23. I have never done any illegal drugs except for drinking alcohol before I turned 21.

24. I HATE mustard. It's the smell. I just don't see how it is possible for one to eat something that smells like that!

25. I have had sex outside on the roof of my apartment building.

26. A picture of me was once used in an adoption brochure for The Children's Home Society of Minnesota

27. I have been inside the tiger barn at the Minnesota Zoo once. I didn't get to touch them, but I did get to see the baby tigers get fed. But wow! You think a housecat's litter box smells?

28. A medicated Hellziggy is a happy Hellziggy. I've been on anti-depressants for over ten years now and if I don't have them I am a cranky psycho-bitch from hell! I was never suicidal when depressed, but for most of my life I was never really happy either.
