OK, I’ve just figured this out. She is a very attractive woman, certainly, but something about her has had me watching her more closely for some reason. I haven’t been able to figure out what it is about this woman, but I think I just did. Her freaking upper lip! It wiggles, it jiggles, it moves of it’s own accord! Just watch it for a few seconds! One moment it looks like it’s an inchworm moving across her face, the next it’s as if someone is blowing it up and deflating it randomly. Sometimes it just wobbles around independant of what she is actually saying. Holy shit, this freaks me out. ---

That’s Talia Winters from Babylon 5, ya know. Damn Psi Corps. ---

Every time I see her on CNN, I keep expecting her to shout “The Corps is Mother! The Corps is Father!” Maybe I watch too much Babylon 5. ---

I did learn from her new job at Headline News that she pronounces her name “ahn-DRAY-uh.” I guess “AN-dree-uh” was too common. Anyone know why she and Jerry split? ---

You think it’s startling to see her on CNN? She was a reporter for our local news for a while, and that really made me do a doubletake. ---

Jerry who? I only remember her as Jill on NYPD Blue. But yeah, she does have an active upper lip. Maybe the collagen came loose. ---

I’m assuming he means Jerry Doyle, also of Babylon 5. I didn’t hear anything about it but, based on things I heard/saw at a recent Con, Jerry’s quite the whoredog, which may have had something to do with it.
