Tour de France: Whenever I hear that Cavendish wins a stage, my enthusiasm for watching that stage goes way down. But today, I'm glad I watched the re-aired coverage because there was a ~FIGHT~!

Sorry, but I've got your cat story beat. And it's also a British cat named Oscar:

I'm so happy for Christina (and Jon and Elisabeth and "Mad Men" as a whole). I really can't wait to get caught up on the show. I'm making good progress with my list, and MM is next! Just a few more episodes of "Eureka" to go. lol.

Definitely! And, I try not to be a genre snob because god knows there are plenty of shitty psychological and political thrillers (my favorite genres), and to judge based on the individual work, but damn her for seemingly completely quitting action. And while it goes both ways (e.i.: I hated "Elektra" and adored "13 Going on 30"), I really do prefer her as a butt-kicking bad ass. (For full disclosure's sake: I haven't seen "The Kingdom" or "Catch and Release," so I can't judge those ones.)

I know most of the top cyclists have a certain amount of ego, but Cavendish just rubs me the wrong way. But at least he can often back up his talk. I'll give him that. ;-)
