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 Hexed. I did go to the library and pick up more books for studying, but […]
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 started dating him (I can’t remember why anymore) and, like a fool, I didn’t refuse absolutely. […]
TV Commercials?
Plinky asked, “Commercials these days: Mostly entertaining, or mostly annoying?” How would I know? Seriously, who watches commercials? Most of what I watch is online, and I don’t pay attention to the ads or they’ve been edited out. If I’m with my daughter she has some service that lets her even pause live television for […]
My Opinion of Reality TV
Plinky asked, “What do you think of reality television? Do you watch any reality TV shows?” I don’t watch any reality TV shows, and I detest every one that I’ve seen except The Sing-Off. Even with it, all I care about is listening to the music. I can’t stand the nonsense with the judges, the “let’s […]
Lost Girl and Canadian Television
Katie recently introduced me to Lost Girl, a show that is very obviously NOT an American show. It’s exotic and amusing and sexy—especially sexy. But then what do you expect of a show about a succubus? I knew it wasn’t American as soon as I heard some of the banter, which wouldn’t fly on broadcast […]
Music from Defying Gravity?
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 for two of them, but not the rest. I don’t suppose any of you know […]
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. I didn’t realize that was happening, as I’d been on that drug for years without […]
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 of some help? Pretty please? It’s fairly amazing how much you can find to watch […]
New Year’s Eve
I hate coming up with titles. Can you tell? Happy New Year to all of you. I hope to see more of you in person this year! I’m still not feeling well at all, so I haven’t been online much. Despite that, my wrists have been aching as if I were working again. How does that happen? […]
Happy November!
I figure it’s past time I check in again. Obviously, I’ve given up on the Blog365 thing. I did make it 9 months or so, at least. Katie turned 18 at the end of October, so she voted in the election for the first time. I’m really tickled that her first time was so historic! We’ll […]
