River ,'Objects In Space'
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'm trying not to pitch a fit.
You know how I wanted to go to my brother's defense?
Coworker already has put in for vacation for those days.
He couldn't have known. Hell, I didn't know. But his vacation days have fucked me over so well the past two weeks, and will again in another few, not even counting this, I've kinda had it.
I.need.a.fucking.break.
Upthread somebody mentioned missing the premiere of Fringe - well, Fox is repeating it Sunday night with 10 minutes from the second episode.
I watched it ... I think. It seemed to make less sense than Lost, without the hot boys or pretty scenery.
It seemed to make less sense than Lost
yikes! I have it set to record Sunday but am thinking it may irritate me. I need SENSE making!
Hubby watched Fringe and said "When they run out of cliches, they look for other cliches they can work with." I said, "Are these the cliches the X-Files wrote?" "I wish."
I wouldn't say it made less sense than Lost, because I don't think you can have negative amounts of sense-making. But it will give your eye-rolling muscles a workout, so make sure to stretch beforehand.
But...Pacey!
Yes, he was kind of cute. But you know, I find a little coherence helps. Not a lot, just enough I'm not sitting there thinking, "uh huh ... wha? ... what just happened? why? how? who's that?" and "he's shiny ... just not in a good way."
Oh no! Garrison Keillor fell into Snacky's Law:
I must say, it was fun having the Republicans in St. Paul and to see it all up close and firsthand. Security was, as one might expect, thin-lipped and gimlet-eyed, but once you got through it, you found the folks you went to high school with -- farm kids, jocks, the townies who ran the student council, the cheerleaders, some of the bullies -- and they are as cohesive now as they were back then, dedicated to school spirit, intolerant of outsiders, able to jump up and down and holler for something they don't actually believe.
I ended up tivoing Fringe anyway, and I think if I keep watching, that's going to be the best thing for me, since I can fast forward through the gross parts.
Wait, what's the premise again? Are the gross parts medical? I can't watch anything medical. Are they a regular part of the show, or more sporadic, like the autopsies on The X-Files ?
