Better than what Loki did when he ran out the other night and to neighbor's porch. They had a couple chairs outside that are normally inside, and they have 2 cats. He'd rub against them, sniff and then HISS furiously, lather rinse repeat. Ooookay.

I'm glad something like this is going in, and I think I know which corner. I see some proposed plans putting stuff across the street from me, but this isn't that (I kinda dread that, I'll lose my view from the end of the street!) But given the glacial pace of the development in this economy, that isn't a big worry at the moment. And frankly, the whole dev project has been very community oriented: the Y, playground, Ripken's youth stadium at the old stadium field, the senior apartment complex. It's doing nothing but introducing positives into the neighborhood.

That was exactly the irritating thing, -t. But I pretty much liked the rest of it. Margulies was on a hell of a roll. And a pretty addition to the cast. But not enough time to the usual regulars!

I liked the new partner and the "are we being played?" and I'm sure that'll be interesting to see play out. I didn't like the new investigator, or his bit with Kalinda--I didn't feel him or his chemistry But I continue to love the rest of the cast.

I interrupt The Good Wife talk to announce I just ate the best peach. NOM! Of course, this now means I'm peach-less until Sunday.

As you were.

I agree with all of that. I'm interested to see more of Grandma's political maneuvering, and the daughter dealing with being n the public eye but not at the expense of the people I'm already invested in. New investigator guy does not seem like a useful addition, yet, but I'll wait and see what they do with him.

I'm not in love with Kalinda's reaction to the new guy, and that's the essence of that for me.

I blinked during The Event and I no longer know what's going on.

That's pretty impressive, Steph!

Y'know, I'm actually liking Nikita more than I thought I would.

ION, that nail polish swap thing? Is there anyway I can get my name added onto this round? My toenails look nicer than they have in like, EVER, and my hands are growing out pretty decently, too. I have a polish or two I could contribute, and it would be fun to play.

I need an ark. Water coming off the roofs and draining down the alley and street is INSANE. But it may just be I've gotten used to the drought. No water in the basement yet.

I need an ark.

God, me too. It's sheeting here.

That's pretty impressive, Steph!

I was hoping there'd be a cat on the table, in the middle of the chaos, but they wouldn't cooperate.

I need an ark.

God, me too. It's sheeting here.

Man, and it hasn't rained here since, like, 1983. (Or, okay, July-ish, and that's really not an exaggeration. Everyone's damn lawns are dead. I'm expecting tumbleweeds any day now.)
