Those Hipster Know-It-Alls

On more reason I am so sad that I do not have Showtime (trust me I'm working on it). And as promised, another non-Portland tangent. However, I did read this article in the Oregonian, which has to do with Portland. So there you go. This article is talking about Ira Glass on his new TV show version of This American Life:

He's just as unlikely on TV. Pale and thin, with nerd-chic horn-rimmed glasses, the host appears in a dark suit, most often sitting behind a wooden desk that has been set, microphone and all, in the midst of some spectacularly implausible place. Next to a highway. In a field of oil tanks. On a mountainside. His voice is mostly disembodied during the stories themselves, which makes sense since this is where the characters, and the visuals, take center stage.

Yeah, that's why we love him. You can read the full article here.

Ohh I have heard good things about Dexter. One more reason to get Showtime. I have to convince Matt there's some benefit for him first.
