Don't buy a Volkswagen.

Hey, now. Maybe it's the cutie pie Beetles that are the problem. Mine's been good to me -- better than the Honda.

Allyson -- I'm kinda confused myself.

Kat -- I know The OC has popped up on my To Record on Steve. That's the first of the fall shows I've remembered to watch.

Which makes me think -- Prison Break and Kitchen Confidential. Must check on those.

Why I bother, I'm not sure. I'm so far behind. But what I don't catch up on by the end of next weekend, gets tossed.

Kristen, if you decide you are going to upgrade, you should ask me first, because I bet I can get you a deal.

I'm going to check out Kitchen Confidential, and also Bones. Both strictly for the BTVS-alumni factor (although the female lead in Bones seems awfully pretty).

Hey! I'm thinking about upgrading too. Where's my deal, perkins?

Thanks for the TV info, ita.

I should pack my bag and get to bed early. I started reading the Aeneid as part of a larger quest to become a better thinker and DAMN it's taking me forever. Which is good, because it's making me smarter and bad because it's making me feel stupid.

Strega is recapping Bones, which is how I plan to watch.

I think Nielsen's should cover TWoP, for all the people who won't watch a show, but go to the recap, instead.

last I looked, but the oregano wasn't looking too hot.

If I had known, I'd have saved you guys some whole plants when I was thinning the front yard!

I still have a fair amount, however. Some mint, but it took a hit in the heat, and I've been underwatering anything tough enough to survive.

Where's my deal, perkins?

I've told you that before!

Kat! I finished True Notebooks yesterday. I had a hard time keeping track of all the inmates, but other than that, I really enjoyed it. Do you want it back, or should I just Bookcrossing it on?

and KC has Bradley Cooper who I love in spite of myself!

Okay, one complaint about New School. We only get 1000 copies a month. Now that sounds like a lot, and it is. But I have 175 or so students and therefore 1000 copies not that many.

This is compounded by the fact that EACH TIME you go to make copies, you have to bring your own paper. You can pick up 2 reams of paper at the beginning of each month.

Is that weird? Or is it just me?

Pity me, for we had to read it in Latin.

How great is it that I can hit F2 and type g 400 yards in miles and the magic computers tell me 400 yards = 0.227272727 miles? Hella great, let me tell you.

Kat -- here's the primetime grid with premiere dates. For all your potato needs.
