TV time

"Ugly Betty" was a lot of fun. Yeah, they've a lot of daddy issues coming up and it was over the top, but I find that stuff funny. Loved the monster movie bits on the roof top. And I really love that Mark and Justin are getting along so well.

"Pushing Daisies" was pretty good, too. I was concerned that this bringing to back to life for one minute was going to be icky, but it was okay. There was a narrator that reminded me of a cross between the narration of "Desperate Housewives" and "The Princess Bride." In fact, the tone of the whole show was very much like the telling of a fairy tale. It was actually kind of charming. Unlike other shows that I think I'll need to stick with for a few eps before they find their sea legs, I liked this one immediately.

"Moonlight" was better, though I wonder how Mick has managed to stay alive all this time.

"NCIS," "Boston Legal," "House," "Heroes," "Journey Man," and "Dirty, Sexy Money" all turned in solid episodes. Loved that "Jacob" was on "House" and Mayborne was on "Smallville." So, THAT'S where you went!
Even "Reaper" got a little better.

Life, and another Jethro Tull concert

Scooter had a very good day today. He marched into my room (which he hasn't been in since he went all Mount Saint Helens over the place) this morning and demanded I get up and feed him. And then he ate a half a can of food. Tonight, he was alert and loving and playful. Okay, I think he's gotten past this. We are very happy. :)

And we drove 90 miles up to the high dessert to see a Jethro Tull concert. It was at the Lancaster Performing Arts Center and it was another wonderful concert. The musicianship is wonderful as always. They performed a couple of new songs that sounded a bit like the stuff from Divinities. And they did a new version of Aqualung that was more instrumental, slower and poignant with a lot of flute. Awesome!

There was a signs about requesting, for the enjoyment of the rest of the audience, that people not whistle or shout. And in an audience where most people were well into their 50s, there still were a few asses that just had to whoop and shout proving that either men will always have the self-control of feral teenagers or that they are already becoming senile. It wasn't too bad until My God, which has achingly beautiful and haunting flute passages and it was spoiled by men obviously trying to outdo each other instead of enjoying the concert. But, other than that, it was sweet. :)

We also took the laptop out with us. I wanted to try it on a wireless network and I wanted Mom to learn how to connect to it. She's taking the laptop to Salt Lake City soon and her hotel will have free wi-fi. She has a tendency to just ask me how to do something and not try to figure it out herself. We went to a Marie Callendars for dinner and as I was waiting outside, I booted the laptop up. We went to a Starbucks with wi-fi, but I guess those places aren't free? Anyway, I noticed that a hotel next to the Marie Callendars had an unsecured network, so we went back there after the concert, sat in the parking lot and connected. Yay! I think it is road worthy now. :)

The best search engine ever!

She is just too damn cute!
