Just a few comments to let folks know I'm still kicking.
1) Supernatural - gwerk!! Choke!! It annoyed me, even as it made me smile because it seemed condescending.
2) BSG - I stopped watching a couple of months ago when it got so painful and everyone seemed to be having a complete nervous breakdown. It wasn't fun, it just hurt to watch. I still have the episodes, and I'll watch it eventually, but I'm trying to get up my courage. I thought the whole thing with Edward James Olmos 'testifying before Congress thing was very cool, tho.
3) CSI - love Laurence Fishburn. Writing has generally improved recently, IMO, although this last episode with his student having been killed was utterly incoherent from a plot perspective.
4) Love our President. First time I've said that in a long, long, looooooong time.
5) Daughter-in-law is still pregnant. Due mid-June. Rah. Rah.
6) Oldest Stepson getting married to a really great gal. He's happy, she's terrific and that makes me smile.
7) Middle Stepson is doing well professionally, but struggling with health issues about which I can do nothing but worry.
8) need to buy a new car as our 1995 Oldsmobile is going to die any day now. Looked at the Smart Car today, and both my 6'3" hubby and I fit into it very well! Gets 33-41 miles/gallon. Drives okay. Not very good suspension - you feel every bump in the road. Liked it but will keep looking while I think about it. If anyone has any suggestions - I just need a car that gets me efficiently from point A to point B. I drive a LOT around the beltway in the D.C. area. Put 20,000 miles on the car last year just driving to various gigs, but we have a small SUV to take on trips and haul stuff, so I just need a get-up-and-go reliable vehicle that gets really good mileage.
9) Learned Friday that my ongoing and worsening right shoulder pain is probably a torn and inflamed rotator cuff. Trying to get an MRI scheduled. Surgery may not be necessary. Hope springs eternal.
10) finished and filed my taxes today. Yay!
So, I know that doesn't really make up for months of silence, but I wrote a little on Origins and Face this week. go me! ;)
