I feel like it would be scary alone in a house, at the beginning -- it's creepy enough in a new apartment, with everything all unfamiliar and boxes and everything. But yay! Home.

No, that's not wrong at all. I have much luck for Chuck right now. I don't understand how it can be threatened with cancellation...even though I know quite a few people who I think would love it who are not watching it.

DH just subcontracted me to design a billing statement for his employer. What do you guys like to see in an insurance statement?

Alan Sepinwall's review mentions salad shooters! but his conclusion kind of broke my heart:

This is my 13th season as a professional TV critic. The very first pilot I ever watched on the job was CBS' "EZ Streets." It blew me away. It was essentially canceled after two episodes aired. I learned an early, painful lesson: this job will break your heart if you let it. I gave in and got hurt a few more times in those early years, but by the time "Freaks and Geeks" rolled around, I had trained myself to spot the heartbreakers early, and to create enough professional distance so that, when the inevitable cancellation came, I could shrug and say, "Well, I'm glad I got to see as much of it as I did."

With "Chuck," though, I'm having a hard time doing that. Even in this splintered TV universe, even in that suicidal timeslot, it just doesn't make sense to me that "Chuck" hasn't done better than it has, and that it's future should be so precarious at this point. "Chuck" should be a hit. Maybe it could still be a hit. But in today's narrowcasting landscape, at Ben Silverman's NBC (where product integration seems at least as important as ratings), maybe that doesn't matter. It was a good show in its first season. It's become quite a bit more than that this year. And these last few episodes have taken the series into new creative stratosphere.

Distance be damned, I'm not ready to say goodbye to "Chuck" yet. I wrote the open letter. I took my family to Subway tonight. I'm going to keep a good thought between now and next Monday. And if I hear anything concrete before then, I'll let you know. And until then, I imagine I'm going to be watching the

scene a lot.

that link is spoilery for the finale.

Augh, they're killing me! (I'm just finishing the episode now.)

Cash, clear explanations of what the insider jargon covers. One of my big frustrations when I was getting quotes was they didn't use a standardized set of terms from company to company and I didn't know what they meant so it was hard to compare. Line by line itemization.

But I'm anal and like being given all the info up front.

That was a great review (and interview). Now I'm all freaking out over Chuck. Chuck!!

Thanks, sara. The current statement gives no itemization and I'm big on that, too. I have a collection of statements that I'm going to look at to see what I like.

Also (I'm thinking of car insurance here, so it might not be the same) if it is required by law, or if it is considered a core service as opposed to an add on.

Now I'm all freaking out over Chuck. Chuck!!

::sniff:: We already have no more Life and no more Sarah Connor Chronicles. It is sad.

I just sent out a handful of job-app-related emails from my profile address instead of my oh-so-professional gmail one. I hope no one looks at the domain. Oops.

VH1 Classic thinks that "Hello" (that's the one with the blind chick in the video and the sculpture of his head, right?) is Soft Rock. I don't get that. It's soft soul, or something.
