It's like you bought them in a set at Target.

Wait, that isn't how you get a family? Damn, no wonder I'm single! :)

I am not wanting to work because my computer is having issues, so I have to send it in to be fixed. Of course, it won't be fixed and back to me until at least next Thursday. So meanwhile I have a loaner. Which first off, has windows 7 and office 2010 (my current one has older versions) so that's a total "wait how do I use this" and then I had to call the helpdesk to get them to make the loaner have access to my printer and my shared drive and all that...argh.

PBS in San Francisco is a whole lot of Deepak Chopra and Lawrence Welk. If it weren't for Sesame Street they'd be useless.

No Masterpiece?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

KQED? I'm willing to bet they show the bulk of the PBS primetime lineup.

They do. A whole block of Nova last night, for example. And there's a local restaurant review show that I kinda like. And some other not produced by KQED but produced in California shows

Eta: and most viewers also get KTEH, which I recall being good for sic-fi and I think a third one. KVIE? That's what I get up here.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Though not a cat poop conversation!

Well darn it, now where can I complain about my cat pooping right OUTSIDE the catbox?

Yeah. Daytime might be a different deal, but the evening lineup is pretty standard new PBS fare. Nova, Frontline, The American Experience, Masterpiece, Masterpiece Mystery, etc.

One of the local colleges has a channel that's mostly classes and things for their courses, but they do fun things to. Every Friday they show very weird old sci-fi movies, and they justify it by having a five-minute "lecture" after each movie to explain why the science in the movie wouldn't work. I'm amazed they can do it with a straight face, but it's apparently enough to justify spending the budget. Though how much can it cost to show black-and-white Mexican vampire movies with cheesy dubbing. And Japanese monster movies from the 60s.

I don't really liked themed naming of pets or children.

Pfft. Ruthven, Vlad, and Erzabet are just fine with it. Tho' I may have had to promise not to suggest Lestat as a pet name.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What's up with Kai? Does it have a history? Or not have a history?

I am actually cooking. Crock pot chicken thighs something. I figured since my appetite is so lousy, being home with the smell of it will help.

I had so hoped I could skip the ER this week--the migraines honestly are better. But there is a lot of room for better that's not good, I'm afraid.

Sheeit. Had a panic today--developer went late to design review with the app we're going live with next weekend, and they told him he had at least two more days of development left to go. I managed to find the right people to agree that it was another team's responsibility--including that team. But that ate a huge chunk of the day.
