Gilmore Girls was watchable for me at the end of last season, and the start of this one, in a way it's never been before.

Oh, really. I had kind of liked it, but when she went to college, it was so bad I couldn't take it any more.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Asking for money is so tacky.

it was so bad I couldn't take it any more.

I tried it when she just started school and it was cloying and annoying. And she needed to be emancipated from her mother, or vice versa. But that dynamic, which I hate, is no longer front and centre.

Yeah, that was when I gave up on it. But I guess it doesn't matter, since in a couple of weeks, I'll miss most of it anyway. Ah well.

I think VM might be my favorite show of the new season. I would take it over DH and Lost easy.

I really like GG this season and had hated it like 2 years ago, after loving it at the beginning.

I can rarely stick with a show until it ends. see: Buffy and Angel.

I still don't get the metaphor, sadly.

So often that's your best bet, though. I was just talking abut the g.d. X-files last night.

On the Andrea Yates thing, how fucked up is this?:

An appeals court on Thursday overturned the capital murder convictions of Andrea Yates, ruling that a prosecution witness gave false testimony that may have influenced the jury that convicted her in the drowning deaths of three of her five children.

In appealing her conviction before a three-judge panel of the 1st Court of Appeals, Yates' attorneys argued that a prosecution witness, psychiatrist Park Deitz, presented false testimony during her March 2002 trial when he said he had consulted on an episode of the NBC television show “Law and Order” in which a woman drowned her children and later was acquitted by reason of insanity. (MSNBC is a joint venture of NBC and Microsoft)

Prosecutors used the testimony to suggest that Yates, who sometimes watched the program, had seen the show and used the plot to plan the murders of her kids by drowning them in the tub of the family's home.

Jurors learned after Yates was convicted that the episode never existed.

I never got GG. Everyone annoyed me, and the result of that is I won't watch.

t longwinded rant

Ahrg. Just got snippy with coworker. See, about a YEAR AGO, we got new software for this insane system. And about a month into operations, I noticed that gee, something was missing and it should be a problem but wasn't. So I asked. And I was told that the missing thing was deemed superfluous. Um, ok. So I made some changes to stuff and figured, you know, it was the DEVELOPERS' job to document the new system.

So I get a call all freaked out today. And I seem to be the only one who anyone bothered to tell (well, some of the others appear to have forgotten including the person who told me initially, but anyway.)

So now I'm getting " Where is this documented? Didn't you document it?" Um, no. Not for stuff that isn't MY JOB. My job is not to write the fucking documentation for the system or the databases. My job is harder because the people who wrote the system don't document for shit, and sure, I'll make a note on a postit to remind me of the change until the glue dries up and I've forgotten it was otherwise, but... not my job to make the developers tell everyone else wtf they are doing. If it was, I'd be called a manager and have a bigger office and salary and be in meetings all day.

There, I feel better now.

I posted that in Bitches, brenda, but your article is much clearer and makes more sense.

So wait. The psych. said he was a consultant for a non-existent episode of L&O, and that's why she's getting a new trial? No one checked this at the time?
