Starting tomorrow, Torchwood returns! I don’t know how much I like the miniseries aspect of this particular outing, but I guess I’ll find out. I *do* like having it every day, but I definitely won’t like not being able to look forward to it each week. There’s something about looking forward to shows that makes each week more fun.
Nonetheless, all new show, sans Owen and Tosh coming up. Fortunately, Ianto and Jack are still here for Torchwood: Children of Earth.
So there’s a new show starting next week. At first glance, Warehouse 13 looks like a sleeker Eureka. Since I love Eureka, I hope there is enough of a difference that I don’t find myself comparing the two shows often. I’m definitely going to check it out, and I’ve already set the DVR to record all episodes. We just found out that Robin Hood is, indeed, canceled. With Harper’s Island wrapping up soon and no new Who or Merlin to keep me happy, I hope this is a show I can really get into (not that Eureka isn’t enough to keep me happy…and I won’t even mention BB).
I can’t stress enough how much I have enjoyed this show. For anyone who didn’t get into it from the beginning, you can watch all the episodes at CBS.com There has never been a show that I like, my father likes, and even my brother (who can’t be bothered with non-sports tv) likes. This has been a really fun ride and here at end, I STILL don’t know just what the outcome will be. Can’t wait to find out, but I will truly miss it when it’s over.
This weekend, Ben came down and we had one of our “old times” days. We ate at Macado’s, shopped around the mall, watched Robin Hood, True Blood, The Backyardigans (sorry, Ben!), Dexter, and RHNJ. There are probably more, but that’s all I can remember this late in the game. Our visit to Macado’s was made even better by the bill coming to -$.04. Christmas gift card in action! Our trip to Border’s was also made better by yet another old gift card. My purchase of Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Demigod Files and the Doctor Who Magazine? FREE as well. Woot! I saw a few of “my kids” which made the day even better. Good times!
Monday, Flo came up and we, too, went to Macado’s and the mall. While nothing was free, I was able to spot some wicked new shoes to purchase. I got a pair of K-Swiss sneakers and some brown utility shoes. I also splurged on some white gold hoops. LOVE them. Flo and I talked a little school, a little fashion, and a little crap about others. All-in-all? Another great day.
The fam is still on vacation, so I’m on pet patrol. It’s my job to check on everyone’s cats and make sure they are fed, watered, and litterbox ready. I feel so important. :clown:
