Tell Me Why

Please explain to me why my DVR was set to record Ugly Betty just as it always does, the guide showed Ugly Betty (with a full description of the episode), and what ABC showed was Scrubs (which I hated the first time around when it was on NBC). Boo. Hiss.

I am so disappointed. I am also so disappointed in Demons. I really wanted to like it. I thought when I saw Ella from Hex that maybe something cool would happen this week. WRONG. I’m not going to be burning this show unless I get a request now-ish. I’d rather have the space on my hard drive. Boo. Again.

Cage’s birthday party was earlier today, and for there to have been over 20 people there, it felt smallish and nice. He’s 9 years old now, and his sister, Scotti, is 9 months old. Pretty cool. He’s so awesome, and even though he was feeling under the weather, he played his part well. Happy Birthday, Cage! :cake:

I will be seeing this movie. I rarely promise that I will see a movie, and rarely do I actually see a movie (in a theater). I would love to see Coraline with someone, but I will go alone if need be. You have plenty of time to clear your calendar, and I’m not demanding that we see it on opening day, so have your people get with my people on the date.

I’m willing to schedule more than one viewing, so don’t feel too pressured.

LOTS

If you asked me if I love this show, I would say LOTS; and that would be both true and clever. Think, think, think about it. Ahh, that’s it. I’ve read just a few bits of fandom’s response to the whole books v. show thing, and overall, the fans seem pleased enough. Apparently they were happy with Denna, but unhappy with the ending of the episode by the same name. I guess that’s how nearly every adaptation works out.

I’m heading to Ben’s town tomorrow, but only for work. We’re expecting a spot of bad weather, so I’m going up and back. My nephew’s birthday is Saturday and because we all went insane at Christmas with presents, there isn’t much left to get him. I was going to shop, but I guess I’ll just sleep in a bit now.

Ooh, speaking of insane, I’m wondering if there’s going to be a mass exodus to insanejournal now that LJ is seemingly on its last legs. I registered today, so if you’re going to make an account, add me. Same name as LJ 😉

I’m going on a binge. Hearing the latest podcast from The Fringe Podcast has reminded me just why I love this show. Oddly enough, as all the heavy-hitters from the top Fringe podcasts listed their favorite episodes thus far, none of them listed the pilot, which was, for me anyway, absolute genius. Just after the pilot, I would say my favorite episode was “The Arrival” in which we get to really see CBG (Creepy Bald Guy) up close. Niiiice.

I watched the season finale of Sanctuary today, and I discovered something about myself: throw a goatee on just about anyone and I am going to find them attractive. Watson as Taneth (on SG-1), not hot; Watson as Watson (on Sanctuary), sign me up!
