A quick view of the NL LEast standings reveals that the Mets have lost NINE of their last ten games. Consider my heart warmed. The Phils are currently tied for 2nd with the Braves, who have lost seven of their last ten. The Phils, perhaps not realizing it is June, have won seven of the last ten, and just finished sweeping the White Sox to boot ( Read more... )

No word yet on Veronica Mars. Too bad Veronica Mars herself can't be assigned to this mystery. She'd have Viacom begging for mercy and spilling its guts in no time flat!

Jericho had an ( Read more... )

After water aeorbics last night, I had a traumatic experience with my broiler. My mother swears by broiled steaks, and I figured, I'll try it this time instead of the Foreman or pan searing them. Well, despite the fact that I did not burn them, my smoke detector seems to think I did, and it went apeshit. I whacked away at it for awhile and ( Read more... )

Film Society has a screening of Georgia Rule tonight. My curiosity is piqued, but I think I'd rather hit the gym, relax at home, and watch Veronica Mars in the fleeting hope it redeems itself. I have a yen to watch the first two seasons again, since I'm nostalgic for when the show had oomph to it. Anyhow, when I renew my Film Society membership ( Read more... )

Say it ain't so!.

Earlier this week, I wrote to EW saying that if the CW cancels Veronica Mars, I will never watch a single other show on their network again (casapazzo, breathe deeply--I'll borrow Season 2 of Supernatural. This is just a boycott of their live programming). I cannot fathom that any show that joke of a network puts on in its place will ( Read more... )

If TMZ is to be believed, Brit bolted rehab again.

I've got the pedometer on today. Right now, I'm at 1.42 miles. My co-worker and I took a walk at lunchtime that was just under .75.

EW was also underwhelmed by last night's Idol. I agree that Blake was the best last night. It doesn't hurt that I love he song he covered. My favorite line from ( Read more... )

Being blind as a bat, with tears that emit excess protein and calcium, makes for an expensive eye doctor appointment. Two years supply of contacts (it's really a one year supply, but the doc told me I can wear the lenses for 30 days if I don't sleep in them and use my glasses at night) and new glasses with featherweight lenses, even with insurance ( Read more... )

This guy was on GMA this morning. He's apparently devised a series of mathematical formulas to "assist" you in deciding on emotional issues--should I marry this person? Should I get divorced? Also, with things like whether one should be a monk and how many beers one should consume at the office party. Color me amused.
