I've been forced to consider my wedding because my mother thinks about it often. If I don't shut down an idea immediately, she takes it as gospel.

You're totally going to do the naked-in-the-surf-at-sunset hippie wedding just to see how high her blood pressure can go, aren't you?

Broiled salmon with broccoli and miso soup was excellent tonight. Not so excellent was the fire alarm going off because repeated openings of the oven door made for a warm blanket of air along the ceiling.Now I am pleasantly full, but with a headache.

it just made him look similar to someone else,

Oliver Reed?

I know who it is! Eddie Izzard with facial hair (at least this iteration of facial hair) reminds me of Hugh Laurie as Dr. House. Particularly around the jaw.

Izzard: [link]

Around the jaw. Really.

I think I have my student loan form all filled out properly, but now I'm stressing that they think I can actually afford this on my own! They say that my "Expected Family Contribution" is over $12,000. Yeah, right.

Lee and I had grilled salmon with a lemon wine sauce and grilled asparagus. We're salmon twins!

Just a heads-up, but if there's a traffic spike, I just saw a link to Buffistas on Warren Ellis's board. Specifically, to the Galactica spoilers that I'm definitely not looking at.

...Yet.

Ah, explains the new people over there. I wondered about that.

hmmm... I've just watched the first half of the Riches.

I think there were parts there were supposed to be humerous, but weren't. At this point I'm not sure how much I care about finishing it. DH has given up.

GA was very enjoyable tonight and I don't think that Ellen Pompeo has ever looked better that near-death experience thing was certainly good to Meredeth Grey.

Recorded, Beverly. Want me to burn you off a recording of the third installment?

I'd love it, thanks! Can I pay postage?

Ryan Hurst was also on the TNT series Wanted, which debuted at the same time as The Closer. I was heartbroken when The Closer got picked up and Wanted didn't. It had a fabulous cast of nicely damaged and complicated characters, and no faux-suthren belle whining "Thaynkyewww" all over the place.

Sumi, was Grey's new? My TiFaux said it was a repeat.

It wasn't the manliness of the facial hair -- it just made him look similar to someone else, though I can't think of who.

I keep having to remind myself it's Eddie Izzard and not Ricky Gervais (though it's RG in my memory from the very few episodes of The Office I've seen and not from Extras ).

I also saw Raines last night, and it reminded me just how much I enjoy Jeff Goldblum's off-kilter delivery. Plus, he's a detective, and my first exposure to JG was Tenspeed & Brownshoe (which was also, along with Quark, my first exposure to having a show cancelled out from under me way too soon), so I feel almost nostalgic watching it. Mainly, it shows potential, but they need to beef up the supporting charcters a lot (though they dropped one or two things that could pan out later).
