House of Bones

First off, I loved House. There were so many quotable lines. I loved how they actually gave Cameron something to do. ("I'm over you. I hate you like everyone else.") Who knew LL Cool J could act? Wow. I keep going back to the video for that irritating duet he did with J-Lo. I was interested to note that Sela Ward is listed as a "Special Guest Star." Many a Star Trek actor, most notably Diana Muldaur, had that billing and appeared in every episode for a whole season or more. This is only the first episode so I'll be interested to see if this is the case or if it's more like Whoopi Goldberg where she'll only appear in most of the episodes. After all, there will probably be many times where "Mommy and Daddy are fighting."

On the other hand, I was very disappointed by Bones. It seemed they were hyping Brennan to be a House-like character but really she's just a stereotypical MIT-type nerd. She's a female Gil Grissom with martial arts skills and a bit more of a stubborn streak. If you're going to just do another CSI give me some Who, damn it! I think the show needs Angel...

A random observation to close: Should the Backstreet Boys really have named their fake metal band Sphyncter when a common name for them is the Backdoor Boys? Do they really want to call attention to that part of their anatomy?

This Is Where I Was And Will Be Again

These are pictures from my first trip down to Southwest Florida this past October. The 'rents and I are going back down tomorrow so I thought I'd give all one of you a clue to where I was. This is a local park called Ponce De Leone Park. I like this shot because it shows some differences between down there and up here. There's some pretty tacky homes down there. Some homes, maybe that one, are worth about a million dollars and don't look much more interesting than that. By the way, we hope to see a real manatee or two this time... This is Gilchrist Park. That water in the lower left corner is actually part of a big fountain. Again, this shot shows a big difference in climate from up here. Interestingly, this park has the more extravagant Ponce De Leone statue/monument. Weird... We will probably visit this park again at least once while we're down. The theme of differences continues here, al beit morbidly. I had to get a shot of this as it amused me. (Although the ...

Remind Me

Remind me to complain how boring and unexciting my life more often because as soon as I did, it got really exciting really fast. Last night, we had four visitors arrive from Korea. They like ziti and garlic bread. Go figure. They will be staying until Sunday night. I told my mother (AKA Hyacinth Bucket) she was making way too much salad but did she listen? No. Now we have this huge-ass bowl of salad in the fridge...What's really irritating is first the fork we use to serve catfood went missing now Susie's dish is missing as well... Tomorrow, I have a physical to prepare for my surgery then I go to my orthopedist's to fill out consent forms. Woo Hoo! I hope I can find time for a haircut as well because... Friday, I have a job interview at a library in Massachusetts! It's a reference job but I also will be conducting a book group. I've never done that but it sounds really fun. Sure, I'll be stuck reading many book that sucks but isn't that what book group i...

Thank You Al Stewart

Well, I'm back from taking care of all those cats. It was actually one cat who had the the run of most of the house and 9 others that stayed in one bedroom; two of which I never saw the whole time. The biggest challenge was changing the litter boxes twice a day. One of the littlest kittens escaped from the room about a half dozen times and was harder and harder to catch. I spent most of my time watching old TV series and movies. I watched episodes of: Magnum PI including the pilot, Hunter including an episode the DVD box hyped had Ed O'Niell in it but also included "Fran McDormand" who perhaps is more well known, Charlie's Angels including the episode that aired originally the day I was born which also happens to be Jaclyn Smith's birthday..., Quantum Leap , Remington Steele , Sledge Hammer , Father Dowling and The Avengers . All series Lady Vader probably doesn't remember since she was under six when they originally aired. (OK, The Avengers and...
