my cousin.

i was watching television. i know. i had this massive headache. i'm all wrapped up in blankets. we've ordered hot and sour soup and fried rice. i'm grouchy. and there's nothing on television, there never is, and i can't watch CNN because they go over the same things every half hour that have been happening for the past three years and because i don't care if the celebrities are breaking up and because i don't care if this team is winning. And there's nothing on except law & order and law and order SVU. so it's on SVU. and it's perfectly typical and the pretty cop lady and the square-jawed white guy are following someone around, it's this episode - that's season 2, episode E1409, "Closure Part II." original airdate 11/03/2000. And Ice-T and the one that looks like a recovering alcoholic follow the serial rapist to philadelphia and they're talking to these random victims and ONE OF THEM IS MY COUSIN and i knew she had stuff on this show, being a random Rape Victim, 'cuz she's hot and being an actress and living in LA, but knowing that my cousin is on television and actually SEEING my cousin on television are very different. And i meant to watch it the first time it came on but then something else happened and i didn't have a VCR and oh, right, november 3rd was a friday in 2000 and i'm pretty sure i was ... um ... out doing something. Sophomore year of college. I bet i was ... um ... well. So i didn't get to watch it the first time.

and - and! how cool is this: she's listed on IMDB! and she had like five lines!!!! even if she's not listed in IMDB as having a walk-on in a knockoff TV show. and then suddenly something weird has got into my subconscious from all that flipping past CNN and standing in the aisle at the supermarket and i'm thinking, hey - my cousin could meet Brad Pitt if he's single now ...
