'Soul Purpose'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I don't think I can add it to the "Significant Accomplishments" portion of my annual review.
It was cute. Not much longer or thicker than a pencil, gray with brownish splots. It even opened its mouth and was all wee and fierce once.
Not one of the guys wanted to touch it. I picked it up, showed it off, and then carried it outside to roam freely in the ravine.
My mom and her sisters used to play with snakes as children. They'd drape snakes around their necks and dance around.
I'm glad I got a good pair of Rx sunglasses a couple years ago-- I have them in a hard-sided case that is always found in one of my handbags, so they don't get lost.
I love both of my Rx sunglasses! I don't lose them in the same way I don't lose my regular glasses (I have multiples of those too). Which is to say, I set them down and occasionally misplace them, but I know where the other pair is so it's no big.
I was also surprised that LensCrafters has a nice selection of fashionable-looking sunglass frames.
You can also get regular frames turned into Rx sunglasses without too much of a hassle.
Huh. He answered his own question (which he posed during the 2000 campaign): "Is our children learning?"
Skipping to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Nicole's birthday.
Happy birthday, Nicole! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
School just ended. I have four hours of parent-teacher conference night to get through tonight, with another three tomorrow morning. I picked up my conference schedule, and it's empty. I have coffee but no sweetener, no snacks, and four 9-week exams to write, it's dark, and I'm wearing sunglasses.
Well, no. But wish me luck. I may be nattering a lot.
Somebody give Emily a snack, stat!
ION, Tim Goodman reviews the new show Moonlight:
"Moonlight," on the other hand, is just flat-out awful. It's a much easier distinction. In fact, "Moonlight" may well be the worst new fall show.
This year that takes effort. "Moonlight" revolves around a nice vampire named Mick St. John (Alex O'Loughlin), who wants to save people and solve crimes, not bite them and commit crimes.
It's just heinous. Absurd, laughable, painful to watch - you name it, "Moonlight" has it all. Woeful acting? Check. Cheap effects? Check. Worst writing of the new season? Check. Predictability? Pretensions? Faint imitations of superior shows? Someone at CBS shouldn't just have their neck bitten, but sliced through, for this one.
(Just had one of those moments, typing that above sentence, where I was like, "Oh my god, I have a son! Hey wait, I also have a four year old and I'm married and I'm 35. How the hell did all this happen?")
That is so me (um, if you add a few years to the age). Secret admission? Every night I go in the bedroom to watch them sleep and smell their warm sleepy smell. Every night. I hope that's not too weird.
Uh-oh....
NBC Greenlights "Knight Rider" 2.0
NBC is bringing back "Knight Rider," tapping Doug Liman to produce a "Transformers"-inspired reworking of the 1980s hit action-drama series about a man and his indestructible supercar.
Peacock is readying a two-hour backdoor pilot for the project, with tentative plans to air it as a telepic later this season. Liman is open to the idea of directing, assuming his feature sked allows. If the telepic clicks, a new-model "Knight Rider" could be on the air as early as next fall.
