I should go to bed. I'm in a weird sleepy but not tired zone. I will regret it tomorrow.

Ditto. Except I won't regret it until Monday.

Now I feel bad because I'm watching some new Food Network show about trying to help floundering restaurants, and the one they are working with is a restaurant I used to go to all the time, but haven't been in years. It's all my fault!

I'm watching Commander In Chief, and mostly it's making me miss Jack & Bobby. It's samey in parts, and less than compelling.

If we're gonna have a chick president it should be Laura Roslin.

ION, I have now contributed $40 to Serenity's weekend box office (my two preview viewings should be counted as part of the weekend gross).

I'll watch it again because I am fond of Geena Davis. There were too many people to be introduced in the episode to have a decent flow. Enough talent, but the dialog was mediocre. Then again, I don't know if I can deal with Donald Sutherland on a weekly basis. I can only take him in small doses.

I'm seeing no other movies this weekend. I am, however, going to watch Tom Quinn look pained and angst-ridden.

I'm eating my first Honey Crisp apple. Organic to boot. Tastes like water. Pfah. And I have two others.

Lame. A good Honey Crisp is incredible, and perfect with cheese. Wonder if the crop just sucks this year. I suppose when I go shopping tomorrow, I should buy just the one in case that's the case.

I am, however, going to watch Tom Quinn look pained and angst-ridden.

Oh, the Worst Spy Ever! Heee! He's good at looking angsty, though. Man, S1 seems so very long ago now.

I took my niece to see Serenity and the guy taking tickets said, "Theater 10, on the right." So we sat down and the theater was a little small, but okay. And then the theater didn't fill up, but okay. And then the trailers were all for comedies, and

-- okay, so I was dumb. They'd given me tickets to "The 40-year-old Virgin" and I didn't realize it until the movie itself actually started.

So we missed the first 15 minutes of "Serenity", damnit. OTOH, the niece liked it anyway.

Clearly the universe is trying to keep you from seeing Serenity, 'suela.

That silver-grey dress is GORGEOUS.

That's the Serenity effect.

Heh.

So, I watched Master and Commander this afternoon, and it was fine, but: those two guys are totally dating.

Again, heh.

sarameg, the TJ's in Falls Church was the same. I was so psyched when it opened, since I'd missed them terribly, but it was aw.ful. Most days you couldn't even get in (if you somehow found parking) because the lines for the cashiers blocked the front doors.

They started popping up to follow me, though: when we moved to Fairfax one opened there, better floor plan (although still no parking). And shortly after I started working in Herndon one opened there, best of the region. It's a stand-alone store, built to be a TJ's. Dedicated parking.

I really wish they'd do internet sales, but it's probably helping my diet to not have access to their candy aisle.

Oh, the Worst Spy Ever! Heee! He's good at looking angsty, though. Man, S1 seems so very long ago now.

We're in S2. Tonight was Zoe angst, but Tom got a few pained looks in, so all was well.

I'm temtped to go see P&P, but I'm worried I'd spend the whole time worried that Mr Darcy will be made.

I need to learn to better separate my fictional realities, methinks.

Timelies! Or gronklies, whatever.

Does anybody else here watch Barking Mad on Animal Planet? It's an English series where behaviorists go to the homes of problem pets (and problem pet owners) and come up with training solutions. And they just don't do cats and dogs -- all kinds of birds, ferrets, rabbits, horses, donkeys, goats and so on. They even had a problem sheep....

Was it Harold the clever sheep? Because he's realised that a sheep's life consists of standin' around for a few months and then bein' eaten. And that's a depressing prospect for an ambitious sheep.
