What is even happening?

I realized I missed it this week. I enjoyed the first ep very much. My first love this season is still My Name is Earl. But both EHC and MNiE both have familiar senses of humor to me.

I caught my first My Name is Earl this week. I liked it, but I didn't yet love it. Last night's Everybody Hates Chris was better than last week, and very funny, but nothing (for me) tops the premiere. Scott and I had trouble breathing at one point. Thank goodness for TiVo and the ability to pause and rewind. Christopher finally thinks the title is funny. It really (understandably--he's 5) put him off, last week.

What kind of embassy swag are we talking about? Spy gear, classified documents, that kind of thing?

Python bursts, trying to digest aligator. [link]

MIAMI --The alligator has some foreign competition at the top of the Everglades food chain, and the results of the struggle are horror-movie messy.

A 13-foot Burmese python recently burst after it apparently tried to swallow a live, six-foot alligator whole, authorities said.

The incident has heightened biologists' fears that the nonnative snakes could threaten a host of other animal species in the Everglades.

Ick, and ugh. Waste of a perfectly good alligator and snake, if you ask me.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Oh, I saw that the other day. Creeped me right out.

The local newscaster here was introducing a segment with something to do about dogs, and commented that she's had her dogs for five years now and they're still not fully house trained. WTF? It took me like a week to train Lucy, and she maybe had some accidents for a few months after that, but five years? How do you live like that? And it's not good for dogs, anyway - they like to do what they're supposed to. If five years have gone by and you haven't managed to communicate that, it makes me feel really bad for the dogs.

(I think the segment is on dealing with smells, or stains, or something.)

Hmm...I could send you the ambassador.

Concur.

If five years have gone by and you haven't managed to communicate that, it makes me feel really bad for the dogs.

And again, I agree.

In other dogly news, my niece just sent me a photo of her latest dog wearing Doggles. Apparently they are driving to Oregon from NM, and the dog will be riding in the bed of the pickup the whole way, so they are making him wear goggles. (bangs head)

Yep. Makes me wonder how much time the owner's spending with the dogs, that she can't work out a decent release-and-relief schedule. Or if the dogs are just wandering about with bladder and/or diabetes problems. My step-dog took one day to get trained, and since then has only peed inside due to an occasional uti, even when she was recovering from major surgery. Heck, even my sister's pom, with a bladder the size of an acorn, was house trained in a week.

[sniff] I miss my step-dog.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

hrmm, I love sports AND my cats. Yes, I even like to watch sports on TV. Here's the dealio though, in this age of DVRs and and even the old programmable VCRs, why don;t the networks replay anything pre-empted in the late night/wee morning hours? HUH?

I took a bus in to work today, not an express bus, a local-stop every 2-3 blocks bus. I did this because I promised my grandmother. This means I left my house close to 7 and got to work at 8:35. doubling my commute time. it is of the ugh making.

Cindy, I don't know if you confirmed this elsewhere, but the re-run of LOST will be at 8 on Saturday (per a little blurb in the Globe's arts section).
