I really hope that Mister Kitty improves quickly, sara!

I was moaning in the Lost thread earlier that, after TAR, there was nothing to watch tonight (since I don't watch Alias, Bones, or Top Chef). But, I found a wonderful concert version of South Pacific on PBS. Damn, does Brian Stokes Mitchell have an amazing voice!! And Reba wasn't too bad as Nellie, either. Funniest thing was seeing Alec Baldwin decked out in the Luther getup for "Honey Bun."

Okay:

TAR: Very enjoyable. I was a bit surprised to see the shared antipathy between the Hippies and Mojo. At least Fran and Barry got to win a leg before they said goodbye.

Alias: OMG, Alias has been so enjoyable since it's return. It was just fun and funny all the way through. I mean there was Will! And Anna Espinosa! And Rambaldi! And Spy!Granpa saying something about not leaving edged weapons around babies, "Especially Bristow girls," and providing the most amusing government trained babysitters ever! Did you laugh out loud when they revealed that Will had a bomb in his head? So so funny.

Top Chef: Seriously, I think the big place they went wrong was in deciding to pull an all-nighter. And there was really no reason for it. Plus, at the point at which Harold got to the fish counter and realized that he wasn't going to find the kind of fish he wanted -- he really should have gone to LeeAnne and said, "Give me 'x' amount of money - I'll pick up the fish in the morning." I think that the boxed cake was a TERRIBLE idea -- esp. when one of your clients says that dessert is his thing. They should have bought what they could that first day, baked the cake and then planned on rising very early and getting to the fish market first thing. They didn't even start serving hors d'oeuvres (sp?) until 3:30 -- right ? And really, Stephen was asking to be eliminated. You don't get told to do something by a judge in one episode and then turn right around and not do it the next challenge. The funny and yet sad thing is that Stephen has not one clue that he did anything wrong.

Back to Alias - it was so much fun to see Syd and Will again. And the wacky accents? "Was he speaking in Portuguese?" "That's a dead language!" - or something. . . in ridiculous Mock!French accents.

Allyson, toss them with olive oil and a little bit of salt and roast them on a foil-lined cookie sheet for about 10 minutes (until they start to brown and crinkle slightly) at 450 degrees.

So yummy.

You guys are making me need to DL the Aliases I haven't seen. I stopped watching when the New Girl and Blathazar Getty were intro'd.

So, end of season is worth the catching up on?

V. sad I missed the vajayjay chat, but man that made for an entertaining read.

sara, many hugs to you and Mister Kitty. You're not insane or weird or anything like that.

Sara, I am wreck when it comes to pets. They are constant companions, and live so closely with me. I was a mess when I had Solomon put to sleep, and I can't bear the thought of Gimlet and Cosmo....gah! And I raised these cats from kittens. Solly was more of a elderly roommate than a adored sweetheart, and his death about killed me for a week.

I really hope Mister Kitty is gonna be all right.

Man. I really need to take a cooking class. I truly suck.

I vote roast,Allyson. No guessing how done they are, It is obvious. and very tasty.

Sarameg, we are all sending vibes to Mister Kitty. When we lost Bert last year it was horrid. and I can still get very sad at the though. Percy, however, has become a much easier cat with no competition. get better soon, Mister Kitty.

Vibing for Mr. Kitty, too.

I went with venus, although I guess I can mirror distaff to same. Not sure...

Venus rising-a work in progress.

Oh my.
