Warning: By very eerie, I mean I'm completely freaked out, and will probably be unable to get to sleep tonight. it's that creepy.

-Phonecall made to a program in Waltham, working with teens with eating disorders. (call back on Tuesday, HR dept. is closed on Mondays)
-Phonecall and e-mail sent to Somerville elder services
-Cover letter and resume sent to elder program protective services position

-Phonecall made to my old supervisor to hurry up and get my reference thing in the mail, so I can take my licensing exam.

Life on Mars, airing on BBC America. Named after the David Bowie song.

In a nutshell, a British police detective in 2006 is hit by a car and wakes up in 1973. Has he really travelled back in time, or is he having a coma-related delusion?

Well acted, even the smaller roles manage to shine very nicely. The lead actor plays the "confused time traveller" bit very well, and we can definitely relate to him. Some of the cops remind me of a piece of dialogue from the failed "Timecop" TV series. Before roughing up a suspect in 1975, a cop remarked to the time traveller that recruited him and brought him to the past, that "this is the 1970s, civil rights are for wimps!"

A question for folks that will remember the time period better than I: Were the 1970s as depressing as they look? I was born in autumn 1978, and don't have many memories before the spring or summer of 1980 or so.
