(no subject)
Urg, every time I sit down to do an update or talk about something legit, something else comes up and consumes my life. I got a new foster dog in on Thursday, it was supposed to be a chill female Yorkshire terrier and it turned out to be a male Yorkie with significant health problems. Still, he was adorable, and I took him on Big Adventures yesterday but I could tell he was increasingly sick, and the bladder stones that were a problem and were going to have to be dealt with through surgery had become urgently bad. By the time we got home in the evening I finally got a call back from one of the rescue group ladies and they said to take him to the urgent care place, which I did. I hated leaving him there, poor little guy, he's been through some pretty severe trauma lately, but I couldn't keep belly bands on him enough -- he was just peeing ALL the time, and was seriously lethargic. I was concerned he wouldn't be able to handle surgery, but they did get the stones and he is resting, so I can pick him up tomorrow. And the best news is that the people down the street who have a female Yorkie met him Thursday evening and were really smitten, and without my prodding have already put in an application for him. So not only will he go to a really loving home, he'll be about six doors down from me! Win-win.
I wanted to write about TV, but I guess I'll have to do sound bites in 25 words or less:
Fringe: I...didn't sign up for this?
Revenge: I love Nolan's new 'do. Everything else is just taking up space.
Dexter: I think the people who write this have been in an experimental psychotropic drug program.
Homeland: Is KILLING me with its goodness and suspense and just basically HOLY SHITness.
Boredwalk Empire: Enough said. I don't know why I keep watching other than Jack Huston.
Happy Endings: Yay! They are back! Why doesn't everyone watch this show?
Castle: If a lead actress in a series had gained as much weight as Nathan has, she would be fired. (I still love Nathan.)
Alphas: I would just really rather they fight crime than conspiracies. Or just Gary fights crime.
Modern Family: Still cute after all these years.
Big Bang Theory: Please just spin off Penny, Amy, and Bernadette. The guys can appear occasionally.
Hunted: Could be interesting. Jury's still out.
Arrow: The only thing that will wake me up on this is when Nick Lea and Mitch Pileggi inevitably show up.
I still can't get interested in Person of Interest despite watching it a few times. I don't know what it is that everyone sees in it -- I maybe need to sit down with fangirls or something. But it just leaves me cold (possibly it's that I think Caveziel and whosits are kind of creepy dudes...), yet many people I like love it. And Teen Wolf is a nonstarter for me, which basically means I am missing about 80 percent of Tumblr posts. And Elementary might have been the only time I would ever happily watch anything Sherlock related, but it just seems like another CBS procedural to me. I don't know. I'm desperate for a new fandom, though.
Here, have a Hawaii pic:
