I love Garret Dillahunt playing against type for once. He makes a great psycho, but it's so fun to see him playing such a lovable goofball.
And I'll watch Chloris Leachman do just about anything.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Do you ever get the feeling that most of Maw-Maw's non-lucid moments are unscripted, or at least barely scripted--they just tell CL to have fun with it, and she's just that good?
Absolutely, Perkins. She really is that good.
Cloris Leachman! I need to remember her name for when I'm reccing the show.
My sister has just told me I can't trade my watching episodes of Arrested Development and Family Guy for Supernatural because SPN will depress her. Suddenly I'm pimping Community, and I've only seen two episodes of it. Not sure why Raising Hope is a hard sell.
I haven't watched a network tv comedy series since the first season of Friends. Maybe I should check out Community, for the Enver ep if nothing else. (I watched The Mentalist for my first and only time when he was on.)
My jeans are driving me crazy. They're constantly falling off my butt, but the front side is fitting perfect. Grr. I think I'll try on the next size down jeans I have hanging in my closet, just to see how close I am to getting into them.

Meet Spudina, the Spineless Hedgehog
What’s cuter than a hedgehog who lost all her spikes and now needs a sweater to keep warm? Nothing!
Meet Spudina, the spineless hedgehog:
The animal was found by a member of the public in a garden in Bedford and has been named Spudlina by staff as her skin resembles that of a potato. The two year old is undergoing various tests to determine the cause of the loss of her spines and she is currently enjoying regular skin massages with a Vitamin E moisturiser
This pie recipe came to me in a dream. I know this decadence is absolutely unnecessary, but I figure if you’re going to fill a pie, just fill it with gold. Pure, cheesy gold. I made this for Pi Day.
Raising Hope: Garret Dillahunt against type, Martha Plimpton on fire, Cloris Leachman going wild, and the cutiest patootiest baby (I'd laugh if it's a boy...it's always in pink). I know "white trash" is highly exploited for sitcoms, and I'm totally out of the loop so I wouldn't know if it's rehashing material, but it's laugh-out-loud for me every week. And so supremely wrong. I couldn't tell you what the last sitcom I watched regularly was. I gave up years ago. But I did just set a season pass for Community.
Man, I forgot how much I liked this episode of L&O:CI. Enver is great in it, plus Miguel Ferrer.
Community has its dud episodes, but when it's on, it's ON. The show is so clearly written by ginormous nerd dorks, so even when it's not great, it kind of is. (Like the alcohol ep wasn't their best overall, but the bit where Abed talks about Farscape is THE GREATEST THING EVER ON TV OMG.)
Have we talked about the song All My Internet Friends here before? Because we really should have. Here it is: [link] It's about us! Yay us!
Taxes are done. We owed again this year, but not very much. Looking at the numbers from last year to this, it's kind of amazing we still have a roof over our heads. Turns out DH being jobless all year really did take a bite out of household income levels! Who knew?
