I mostly just watch The Word. Don't hate me. It took me a long time to take to TCR.

Perkins! Eat your lunch! Do something else outside.

Perkins, cure for boredom = a walk outside. Maybe getting a magazine to read while you eat?

Jesse and msbelle are wise, but sadly, it is kind of grey and yuck out, and I am not wearing good walking shoes. I think I shall have to bring or wear some tomorrow. I am eating my brought-with lunch though, so that's something at least.

I discovered today that my previous instinct to avoid red meat TV dinners was spot-on, as my beef portabello lunch smelled truly vile when cooked. Picked up grilled chicken and broccoli from a local deli instead, and the cashier guy undercharged me by $2 after correcting a $5 overcharge. Good food tastes even better when it's cheap.

I mostly meant outside of the office, not necessarily OUTSIDE. Run an errand or something.

I avoid chicken tvdinners. Too often the chicken tastes off to me.

Advantage of following a hairstylest through 3 salons over 7 years: when you call and she's all booked up, she tells the scheduler to cram you into a corner of her schedule.

So I can stop being annoyed with my hair. It is really too long for this cut now.

Like ferret?

I had a Lean Cuisine Margherita pizza for dinner the other night. I took a bite, took another to confirm, and gave the whole thing to the dog. I ended up with a big hunk of swiss cheese and a couple of handfuls of peanut butter chips instead.

Huh. Wouldn't have guessed.

Executives of The WB network say they are not canceling 7th Heaven because of poor ratings -- it is their second highest-rated show behind Gilmore Girls, according to the Associated Press -- but because it costs too much. Speaking in Pasadena at the annual TV critics' winter press tour, WB Chairman Garth Ancier remarked that the series loses $16 million a year. "As much as we all love the show, we do have to run a business," Ancier said. The network's overall ratings are reportedly down by double-digit percentages this season.

Phbbbt. I'd pushed that incident from my mind.

Actually, it often tastes kinda like cardboard.

Any reason will do. But I'm not surprised it's so expensive: it passed the 5-year mark, so all of the original cast got big new contracts (as these things go), and the size of the cast is enormous. There are husbands and colleagues and people all over the place. (My flatmate watches, guiltily, and feels the need to introduce me to all the people who parade past the screen.)

Also, I mean, it's a dumb show. But dumb shows that make money don't get cancelled (cf WWE Raw).
