I'm still not sure about Thief. I keep watching but, I dunno, it's not grabbing me yet. I've completely given up on Conviction. Supernatural continues to make me happy though.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh dear. I went out to dinner with some people from work today, and found a new sushi restaurant that's directlu on my way home, serves pretty good sushi, and has a very nice crispy tofu appetizer.
This could be dangerous.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thief has me interested but not hooked. Even more interested since TiVo cut off the end of this last ep. Recording it again tonight in case.
I only watched the one ep of Conviction. Love the JAR, but there wasn't anything that convinced me I wanted to work around the scheduling issue. I liked Heist, and am sad TiVo says there's only the one upcoming episode. Which is Wednesday at 9, when I'm sure I have...right, Alias. Gotta let Alias bow out in style. Halfway through an episode of Hustle. We shall see. Not sure where in the story I am.

Thrive to spite them
If I take a whole Ambien, I get fun hallucinations. I cheerfully burble at Pete about the curtains breathing, or that the light fixture above the bed has grown arms and is being all wiggly at me.
I get those too. When I'd take Ambien but stay up on the computer I'd hallucinate -- not people -- but presences behind/beside me -- wavering, nodding sort of things. It was creepy at first but then it got to be normal, also sometimes I'd stay up and try to chat...that was always weird. No where near as weird as the hallucination I had from sleep deprivation. That was creepy and scary.

Okay, Hustle rocks. That was very charming.

I just watched So NoTORIous, just because my tivo recorded it for me.
It was...not so charming.

I'm liking Thief, but I admit that the only characters I'm really interested in are Nick and his daughter; I caught myself fast-forwarding through lots of other scenes. Although it's clear that the skinny white guy is gonna flip on them. I do like the smartass bad guy kid, somehow. It is, however, very well acted and shot. Some lovely cinematography going on. And I could watch Andre Braugher all day.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Supernatural is such a cute show.
I had to rewind and rewatch the entry to the hotel room. Nice.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I'm kinda depressed that the current crop of ME alumni shows are mostly leaving me cold. I've caught David Boreanaz as a smartass FBI agent, JAR as a hotshot lawyer, and Christian Kane as a baby-cradling househusband and none of the shows have prompted me to a second viewing. Alyson Hannigan's sitcom is pretty fun, but the only show I was wild about (Nick Brendon's Kitchen Confidential) got cancelled almost out of the gate. Immediately after it guest starred Michael Vartan as a hilariously evil French chef.
Does that seem right to you?

I think BONES has improved a lot, but mainly due to the core cast and not necessarily the A-stories. Plus, they found an excuse for patented Boreanaz spazz dancing.
