Not to taunt you, sarameg, but my favorite ice cream in Spain was made with pinones.

It doesn't, no worries. I don't really miss it. My favorite ice cream experience before it became an exercise in aversion therapy was a walnut flavored ice...milk? It wasn't highly creamy, just flavorful... we could get in this tiny town called Suzdal in the Golden Ring around Moscow. It was phenomenal. They dusted it with walnut pieces. And showed dubbed Duck Tales on a tiny tv in the shop. It ROCKED. Scrooge in Russian is so funny, too.

Oh, man. There are times when Nip/Tuck just grosses me out more than I can say. Oog. If anyone plans on watching tonight? I recommend doing it on an empty stomach.

I concur. The medical stuff always sqwicks me out.

There are times the lack of cable is a blessing. I had a 20 minute gagging fit over CSI....

For RINX watchers: Oh WHATEVER. I hate JD.

There's this bug that's been on my balcony over the past couple of weeks. It chirps like a cricket, but prettier, more musical. I actually think I'll miss it when it disappears. Seems silly, but...it's such a nice sound.

Competing with House are the premiere of My Name is Earl, which I think will be funny,

I think it was very funny. But Wonderfalls was better--if you go by the "helping people at the behest of mysterious powers" plot lines. Still, Jason Lee is one funny dude.

Bones needs better dialog, stat. We saw a promo of Serenity and I made the usual comment that Joss is a genius with dialog and DH said, "Man, Bones could really use his help."

And did all the episodes of House end with a musical montage last season? Because I don't remember that.

WHY DID I LOOK AT THE WHITEFONT?

Because I am an idiot, that's why.

Also, sarameg, it ain't pretty when the crazy leaves you with no place to go. I guess I won't be watching him leading the police on a 6-hour chase on the news tonight.

Now give me some shelled pinons... (pine nuts)

About the only good thing my college dining hall made was zucchini made like twice-baked potatoes: the zucchini was scooped out, cooked (I think), and mushed together with pine nuts, thrown back into the zucchini skin, and baked with some cheese sprinkled on top. Yum.

Bones needs better dialog, stat.

It's definitely still anvilly. Though I was liking the dialogue between the lab guys.

Very true. I am, at this point, only watching it for the pretty. And I'm starting to think that DB has the BBOC factor going, which I never really felt until now. But the chick is just so. damn. wooden she may has well have been made of concrete.

So, nobody's watching the Dancing with the Stars dance off? Because I am obsessed enough to make up for all of you, but I'm just curious.

It's tricky getting through on the phone, though. Happily, my cell phone is a local LA number, so I can (attempt to) call again some more.
