TV

Finally got around to watching the new Wallace and Gromit DVD. I think I laughed only twice. And I didn't care for the fat jokes. I am disappointed. It seemed thin and a bit mean in parts. Oh well.

Criminal Minds was creepy. Reid was looking fine though. VERY interesting change to the team. I look forward to seeing what happens next.

SGU. ( Read more... )

But hey, Merlin was fun! Beauty and the Beast. ( Read more... )

And even though it's repetitive, I adore Castle. I love the writing and the writer's jokes. And the characters. It is such fun. :)

I gave the pilot to White Collar a try this weekend. It's on USA and is repeating a bunch this week. It's a buddy show, with two likable characters, one who is quite attractive and it has a nice dynamic. The FBI agent says to the con man/art forger that is paroled into his custody, "You're mine for the next four years. Is that a problem?" Heh heh heh. Have to see where it goes from here but it's worth checking out.

Well, I've got ten minutes left on the SGU ep and it will be finished. It really shouldn't be this much work to watch a tv show, right?

Kitty update.

We're giving Emma house privileges during the evening and that's working out pretty good. We shut her in the bedroom during the day and leave the patio screen door so the boys and come and go as they please. Come evening when they are in, we can shut the outside door and let her have run of the house. She is investigating everything and doesn't run from us. Buddy is a very calming influence on her and she takes all her cues from him. Of course, when I say calming, that doesn't include the 30 minutes they spent chasing each other all over the house. Gallomp, gallomp, gallomp!! Brindle looked eager. I think it will be a threesome after a while.

We're so amazed how all this worked out. A year ago, we had decided that when Scooter passed on, we'd need a friend for Brindle. Young, probably female so she wouldn't challenge him. And might as well get a pair that are bonded so they can interact with each other to give Brindle some space (since he is eight and not a youngster any more.) And then a month after Scooter passes, this pair of cats start hanging around in earnest. Brindle befriends Buddy before we're involved and now we've got two young cats, bonded, who are enticing Brindle into kitty friendship. Perfect timing, too, as we've got a trip planned next month. We won't be away that long, but I was worried about Brindle being locked up alone in the house. It's actually a little eerie how this fell together. I was expecting cat fights and angst for months. This could not have worked out better.

Oh, and Emma might get a name change. We're thinking Daisy. Ditsy Daisy. I know some were lobbying for a B name (Brindle, Buddy...etc...) but when we tried that for a day, I got all tongue tied and took forever to come up with the right name. And as her personality comes out, well, there's not a lot of dignity to her. Her name could change a few more times yet. *g* Besides, she's shown no interest in 'Emma.'

BTW, that new computer program at work is not suitable for Respiratory Therapy. To order a treatment, you have to order it six different ways. To chart that tx, you have chart four to five different ways. What works for nursing, does not work for RTs. It's frustrating, tedious and baffling. I told a nurse I'd rather get a full body tattoo than work with Cerna. I can accomplish about 2/3s of my work and I have a raging headache each night. Mind you, I hardly ever get headaches. And everyone seems to be getting them. I can't wait to see how this much stress messes up my body.

Joy.
