Natter 42, the Universe, and Everything
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Cass, I hope managed to beat that headache into submission and get some sleep, after you posted.
Yup. It came out today. I saw it on the Futon Critic. It makes me sad. I enjoyed the first two eps.
That's a shame. I missed the first night of
The Book of Daniel
(that was two hours, right?) but saw the next two episodes. I enjoyed it (not just as a viewer, and I wouldn't normally add this, but I enjoyed it--the religious themes--as a Christian, as did Scott, and my mother). Feh.
They've added Mad Cow to the Giant Microbe plush toys.
But it's not a microbe. It's a prion. I see they note that, but still, does no one have any respect for scientific...scientific...scientific stuff?
Dude. Chris Penn is dead.
Oh, man. Poor thing.
Cass, I wish you could go to my chiro guy. I wish he could treat other parts of me, he's that good.
For the second day in a row, it's s n o w i n g here. This seems rather cruel.
I just realized I should probably have been more prepared for the phone interview I have in 10 minutes. Whoops. At least I've had coffee?
Good luck with the interview, Jesse!
And, Cass, I hope you feel better soon.
From further back, re: The Closer. I've just started watching it, mostly for J.K. Simmons' bits. (I have a voice thing.) I've liked the two episodes I've seen so far.
Comic book fans might want to catch the Colbert Report repeat if they didn't see it last night. Also, the guest segment with the Washington Post fashion critic was pretty funny.
OK, phew. It wasn't a job I wanted, which was made clear right off the bat, but I wanted to talk to the woman, since she's at a headhunting firm, and I will want a job at some point, so that's good. I had no interest in faking like I really wanted that particular job, especially since it would have involved much bullshitting about my experience in order to make it seem like they would want me for it, anyway.
AND I was able to use the call to get off the phone with an annoying person who had called me a minute earlier. Awesome.
Totally agree about the voice thing and Dr. Skoda, uh, Imean Mr. Simmons.On a related note, I finally saw the Braugheriffic "Thief" trailer. Looks exciting, if not great, and not as...ponderous as his other post-Homicide TV.
Which is better? The larger good, or the greater good?
"greater,", I'd say. Like the alliteration.
This morning, I started the grievance process for the job that I was screened out of. It's possible that this is going to get me nothing but ill will.
We had an emergency board meeting last night because a member of our coop that we are in the process of trying to evict had a fire the Monday night.
My stress level is at about 27, on a scale of 1-10. (ETA, it's still probably way less than the woman who has to live below the other woman OTOH.)
