Wow, it's been a few days since I posted... Guess I'll just go through the shows in chronological order, then.

First up: Stargate SG-1. In a weird way, it makes me a little sad how much I don't miss Jack as a regular character. Richard Dean Anderson did (and still does, in his guest appearances) a great job in the role, but I'm very much ( Read more... )

Whee! Derrek Lee edged out Albert Pujols to be named the starting NL 1st baseman for the All-Star Game! Nothing against Pujols (well, except that he's a Cardinal, which automatically makes him evil in my mind), but D-Lee is having a freaking AMAZING year, and he totally deserves the honor, even if he doesn't have the name recognition that Pujols ( Read more... )

Today was my last day off of work. Tomorrow I return to the grind. I don't think I have another day off (aside from weekends, of course) until March 10th, when I will be in Arizona for Cubs Spring Training. Bleah. Just saying how long it will be is depressing ( Read more... )

First of all, let me say that I am incredibly excited that the Boston Red Sox have finally won the World Series after 86 years. I am especially glad that they did so in such grand fashion--first by being the first team in MLB history to come back from a 3-0 deficit in a 7 game series (against the Evil, Evil Yankees, to boot), and then by sweeping ( Read more... )

I had something of a revelation yesterday. I was driving myself and WorkBitch to lunch, and we got on the topic of our beloved Cubs. I made a comment to the effect that, since we are 10 11 games back in the division, it makes sense to focus on the Wild Card race, where we are only 1 2 games out. Naturally, WorkBitch being WorkBitch, she didn't ( Read more... )

So I've decided that I am simply not meant to clean my house. Bad things happen when I do. I need to hire my mom to do it for me, or something ( Read more... )

Last night was so much fun. My friends and I get together every Wednesday evening, and some weeks there are more people than others. Last night was especially enjoyable because of all the little munchkins who were there--1 three-year-old, 1 18-month-old, 1 17-month-old, 1 one-year old, and a 6-month-old. So, so cute ( Read more... )

I forgot to put my watch on this morning, and it's driving me nuts. I am a compulsive watch-wearer, and I've lost track of the number of times today that I've glanced down at my wrist and gone "grr ( Read more... )

Oh, Everwood, how do I love thee? My second-favorite series on television (my first love is still CSI finally returned with a new episode last night, and it was wonderful

( Everwood gushings )

This is all ageofaquarius’s fault. She simply had to gush on an on about how excellent Touching Evil is. Well, fine. I caved. I watched it. Because, you know, I really need another television addiction. And, well, I miss Monk. And Jeffrey Donovan in hot. And dammit, they had Bradley Cooper on! And he wasn’t bumbling or putzy! And they let him wear ( Read more... )
