The Black family were nice enough but their abysmal perfomance on the boating makes me think they wouldn't have lasted long anyway. They're not nearly as prepared for this as the other kid family. A little shocked at the perfomance of the three brothers and the sister (from Cinci! Hi Steph!).

Yeah, there's like four things I want to watch on Tuesdays at eight. Feh.

Seriously -- I got home from class to a week's worth of TV on the DVR, and I think there was stuff I missed.

I've been getting in to Supernatural, which was already conflicting with my desire to watch House, plus my desire to watch My Name Is Earl/The Office. Now we get to add TAR to the fray.

I think for me it's Supernatural, followed by the last half of TAR, this week. Next week, Supernatural may have to fall by the wayside.

Wednesdays are also a little crowded like that. Both nights, I could conceivably watch a show, tape a different show, and still be missing shows I want to catch.

I have a feeling I'll not be going anywhere on Tuesday nights.

I'm hoping that Supernatural keeps being on Easy View on Sundays. That helps a little.

Oooh! Easy View! Der.

That makes my Tuesday night TV life a little easier.

No really, the state (heh) of geography knowledge by the vast majority of the population of this country is unbelievably abyssmal.

You have too many of them. Um, states, not people, though I guess addressing the former will likely affect the latter. You should start divesting some of the non-performing states, sell them to countries that reckon they can run them more efficiently. You'll be left with a leaner, more capable America, ready to meet the challenges of the modern globe!

And rename Pennsylvania "Volvo". Or, y'know, whoever places the highest bid. Because it'd be a brilliant revenue-raiser, and people would have a much easier time remembering that. Everybody wins! Except Wyoming. I never hear anything about Wyoming, and they gave us Dick Cheney. They'd be first on the block. I bet they'd be bought by Luxembourg or something, who'll use it just to move up in the rankings of countries by size, and as a tax write-off.

Granted, I am a former Pennsylvanian and have my biases...but of all the states not to know! I mean, it's big by east-of-the-Mississippi standards. It has lots of electoral votes. And it's not exactly historically obscure--you've got the Declaration of Independence and Gettysburg just for starters.

I'm forced to imagine a person who never looks at maps or watches the news, and who slept through all their history classes from first grade up.

I am reading the TWoP review of the latest House. It is making me laugh. Final sentence (whitefonted, for spoileriness and possibly grossness):

We end on House riding the motorcycle through the cow-laden fields of New Jersey as Elvis Costello tells us all that we are beautiful, no matter what they say. Unless, of course, you tried to circumcise yourself with a box cutter.
