No, the preview was conclusive.

Now I'm watching Shark, which I really got to like last season, and I'm glad to see Kevin Alejandro working!

Oh, and in other news, I think I've identified another reason I don't see "celebrities" around -- I don't know why they are! While I was in the dressing room at Banana, some other people were all excited about someone from the Sopranos in the store. I think I saw who they were talking about, but she rang no bells at all for me.

My lazy chicken: take the chicken pieces season and add spice and possibly butter or olive oil, slice an onion into quarters, add a potato and roast until done.

Well, upset tummies do well with broth. And of course. tea. I think that the saltine acts mainly to soak up acid in the stomach so bread would do the same thing.

I love Dirty Sexy Money too. And for some reason I was sure that csi/WAT were doing some sort of X-over this week so I made certain to watch csi live rather than wait for it On Demand.

No, the preview was conclusive.

So I was paying even less attention than I thought. No surprises there, really. Watching things live is hard.

It just had Sara in a sling talking to Grissom. Oh -- and there's some investigation (?) about their relationship (?)

I'm also giving Chuck a thumbs-up. I think I'm going to enjoy imagining my grandfather working for Adam Baldwin's NSA in the same way I'm going to enjoy imagining my New York-based philanthropy-related job has anything to do with Peter Krause.

There needs to be a law about how loud your engine can get in a 30 or 35mph area. Because there's way too much noise around here right now.

I wish I could go to the ER tonight, but I do at least know tonight is not the night. Way too soon, and they'd never get a line in.

Still, lying down is really boring and sitting up is really painful. Hence the alternation.

Chuck failed for me. The new series that I've seen and liked are Life and Journeyman. The Bionic Woman gets a few more shots out of curiosity. Chuck--well, I'm curious about what everyone else saw in it, because the characters (other than Adam Baldwin, who is majorly cool) are so meh. Or gnattishly irritating.

I evidently forgot most of last season's final CSI ep, because the recap was news to me--but I know I did definitely see the end of it.

I tried to record ER and it stayed on ABC instead--I have DSM, don't I?

boring and in less pain is ok in my book.

mac's words of wisdom tonight: when I live by myself, I get to make the rules?

me: yes.

mac: watch tv ALL THE TIME and NO VEGETABLES!

Mac has figured out the true joy of adulthood!!

boring and in less pain is ok in my book.

You're welcome to the next time they admit me and the most exciting thing that happens is they wake me to take my blood pressure every two hours. And won't stop, even if the doctor asks them to.

Right now my main problem is that my neck and shoulder hurt when I lie down, even though my head feels better. Sitting up flips that. I can't commit.

Does Mac understand you were a kid? Does he wonder why you don't have those rules?

I'm trying to think if I ever grasped my parents as children. I don't think so.

And the question about them coming into kid space and cramping us? We had very little kid space, and just about none where they'd want to be for any length of time. I think we overlapped on the porch--until we moved to the UK, that was it. Even there, it'd be TV we overlapped for, and that had its own special fights.

Swooped by the ER web site and all the comments are "Dudes! Where's the full episode online? All the other networks do it!"

Yeah. They kinda do. And having missed the first ep makes me a lot more meh about catching the next ones, even with the two minute summary. I think it's out-dated licensing preventing it, but it's no good.

If that's 10pm on Thursday, then you got Big Shots, which I turned off after 15 minutes.
