The dumpster fire that is our country has me spending more time thinking about self-care. How can I care for myself so I don’t burn out or blow up? What do you do? I’m going to try limiting my exposure…
TV on Friday night
We’ve had SUCH an exciting Friday night of pizza and Black Doves on Netflix. Yep, I can feel us getting older all the time. But then, I’ve been awake since 2:30 am. That entitles me to a lovely, comfy evening…
Watching Telly
I have spent most of today screwing off shamelessly. It felt good to do that for a change, after studying every day for weeks. I watched Sherlock, Harry’s Law and Wallander. I finished reading Hounded by Kevin Hearne, then started…
Scary Movies?
Another NaBloPoMo prompt: Do you like scary movies that make you jump? I’m not old enough to watch scary movies! I find them far too frightening, indeed, nightmare-inducing. Sam required that I watch The Crow with him when we’d just…
TV Commercials?

We’ve been watching Defying Gravity on Hulu, and enjoying it. The music is one of the appealing factors, but I can’t find any information about what songs by which performers are used in most of the episodes. TV.com has information…
An Update Instead of a Book Review!
I looked back at my recent entries and realized that it’s been a really long time since I posted much of anything substantive. I’m coming out of a long period of being nearly zombified thanks to one of my medications.…
Dollhouse Fans? TV stuff
Do any of you record Dollhouse? We don’t do cable, so Katie and I have been watching it streaming on Hulu. This coming Friday’s episode isn’t going to be streamed, though, and we don’t want to miss it. Any chance…
