Hello World!

I hope everyone had a really nice Easter, Good Friday, and Holy Thursday. Me? I had to work. No rest for the weary. Easter is always a time of emotional pain and doubt for me... just knowing I won't be able to eat Cadbury eggs again for a year... just horrible. Just... really horrible.

Of course, I'm Catholic, so I went to Catholic school, which helped me develop a natural indifference towards the religion during my adolescence that prevents me from absorbing even the tiniest of Catholic data. But for those of you who are wondering what's up with Easter, The Discovery Channel did a great special on the roots of Easter and its connection to Paganism. Knowledge is power, so check it out.

And for those of you who have asked: no, my Blockbuster saga hasn't ended. I went to a different store, and they also said I have to pay a monthly fee in order to get the 'no late fees' offer. Apparently, only people who live in the US can keep their movies as late as they want without having to pay anything. The rest of the world has to pay 3 dollars just because they were 47 seconds late in returning Dogma. Now, if that's not unfair I don't know what is. But I won't give up. My quest for a way to perpetuate my procrastination will continue.

I hope everyone has a great week, and good luck to those of you who are getting ready to take the SATs! Remember to breathe. Harvard is totally overrated.

CSI Files Two Years Ago

• Sofia Milos Joins 'Miami' Full-Time
  This day two years ago, actress Sofia Milos (Yelina Salas) became a regular sight on CSI: Miami. Milos first appeared on the show in the episode "Dispo Day" as Yelina Salas, Horatio's sister-in-law and potential love interest. She was finally given star billing in the season 3 premiere episode, "Lost Son".

• Consultants Talk Scientific Accuracy
  If one thing sets CSI apart from the other show, it's the realism, and two years ago the producers were making sure everything looked and sounded believable. "People aren't stupid," David Berman (David Philips) said. "If something feels phony, it's a big turnoff."

• 'CSI: Miami' Contributes To CBS Monday Night Ratings Triumph
  Some things never change, and one of them is Miami's ability to thrive on Monday nights. The premiere of "Double Cap" received 11.3 overnight ratings and a 19 share, crowning CBS winner of the night.

Today's Television Listings

• CSI: Miami is on spring break. Any video footage of it lifting its shirt in front of an amateur cameraman should be purely coincidental. In the meantime, CBS will tonight air a repeat of, "Addiction". In case you missed it the first time, here's a description of the episode:

  "When Kay Coleman is killed in what looks like a carjacking, the CSIs talk to her husband, Sal Coleman, the oldest of the three Coleman brothers who run their lucrative family business. However, when it is revealed that Kay had a gambling addiction that could have bankrupted the company, the team must follow the evidence to find the killer. Meanwhile, Alexx hires a recovering alcoholic as a body hauler and must investigate when he is accused of stealing from the dead."

• New York is also taking some time off while it regroups for May sweeps. A repeat of "Tanglewood" will air on Wednesday night at 10/9c. If you haven't seen it, it's new to you:

  "When a man is beaten to death with a baseball bat in a park, Mac and Stella are introduced to a group of young gang members called the Tanglewood Boys -- young men who kill for sport and not business. Mac and Stella's case complicates when a convenience store clerk is shot dead and the murder is also gang related. Meanwhile, Danny and Aiden investigate a hit and run accident that leads them to an illegal massage parlor."

• CSI has already enjoyed two weeks off, and returns on Thursday night at 9/8c with the brand new episode, "Spark Of Life". Here's a preview:

  "Grissom discovers a connection between the fiery suicide of a woman in the Vegas wilderness and the slaughter of an entire family in a suburban home. The evidence exposes a couple's infidelity, as well as the unthinkable results of one woman's desperate attempt to get pregnant."
