Shows and Dog Bowls
I have decided I am going to start watching TV again; not real TV, TV taped off my DVR, so I can fast forward through the commercials. I am forever ruined for regular TV viewing. But I'm really enjoying not having to download everything I want to watch now, with all its associated risks. Having just had my computer go in no less than 3 times, it's a relief. Ironic, though, that I've spent the last several years downloading pretty much everything and only after I come home and quit does my computer go crazy; ironic, but, perhaps - fortuitous?
Big thumbs up to The Good Wife, which I literally started watching tonight. It's great to see Julianna Margulies back on screen in such a good show. I did watch the first two episodes of The Human Target. I saw it mainly because Tricia Helfer was in the first episode, but I was bored in the next episode without her. Several reviews mentioned it was a shame she wasn't brought on full time, as she dominated the pilot, and there is no stable female lead for the series; for this I agree wholeheartedly.
Previous to all this, I watched the entire series of Deadwood, which is on DVD here in the house. It was great, not but what I should have expected from an HBO production. I really enjoyed it.
I have fallen out with House - too much upheaval in the cast. I hate that. The Closer is done for the season. The Fringe I also enjoy quite a bit, and it is back on new episodes. I haven't watched The Dollhouse lately, but it did become unexpectedly entertaining for a while. I'll usually catch that and Bones when I get bored. Oh yes,and Legend of the Seeker, which is pure, mindless, kitschy fun.
My uncle gave me a boxset of Bogie and Bacall movies for my birthday, and I've been parceling them out so we can watch them together. It's been very enjoyable.
Apparently, there are storms coming through again this weekend. The animals are scheduled to be picked up early next week, exact date to be confirmed, as the weather may upend things - again.
In the meantime, my non-skid, 3 quart, stainless steel bowls arrived. Never again, I pray, may I be forced to haunt the aisles of Amazon's pet bowl lists. For the love of gawd, people, it's a PET BOWL. You would think, from the offerings on display, it was a freaking technological feat to feed your own damn animal. Stainless steel? Ceramic? Microban plastic? Liters, pints, quarts or gallons? Xtra small? Xtra large? Non-skid? Weighted? Automatic - with a timer? Portion control? Storage attached? Elevated? Personalized? Travel? No-tip? Long eared? Fountain or filtered? HEATED?!
We won't even go into the prices. I'll admit a waterer with attached reserve is tempting, so you don't have to fill up so much. It even makes sense in multiple dog households. But seriously, you do not need to spend $80 on it. You could just get..more bowls?
