I was really hoping that wasn’t what the music signified.

So I went to the allergist last week. Besides informing me that the allergist I saw as a teenager probably wasn’t board certified, he took my reaction to eating mangoes a little more seriously than I did. As a result, I am the new owner of an epi pen. O happy day. I just have [...]

To everyone who attempted to talk to me on my cell phone today: I’m sorry. I started the day with one bar on the battery, and each and every one of you managed to reach me while I was in a reception-free zone.

In other news, Lisa has given birth to baby #3. I’d relay all [...]

Hmm. Anyone feel like making a road trip to Houston on a Tuesday night?

I took the entire week off, even though I’m not flying out to L.A. until tomorrow, so I could take care of lots of little crap that’s been piling up.

Crap vanquished. Whee! Also cleaned off the DVR a bit; caught up on Life on Mars and about half the House episodes from last season we [...]

Sale alert: Veronica Mars season 1 DVDs are $23 at Target right now. The shelf says $45, but go scan it. It’ll come up half price. The local store had two sets left as of an hour ago.

Some thoughts on the finale….

HERE BE SPOILERS!

While the rooftop monologuing was just too much — I would have [...]

Veronica Mars got renewed. The CW is safe from my wrath.

Off to do the happy dance.

So, at the place I was watching Veronica Mars last night, the transmission cut out halfway through the episode, just as the big mystery was about to get solved.

I will smite anyone who speaks to me of the finale before lunchtime, when I get to finish watching it.

Update: OK, seen it.

TiVo cut off your Battlestar Galactica finale? SciFi has helpfully posted the last few minutes. Sooo nice to get some love from a network instead of the “well, why weren’t you watching it LIVE?” response we usually hear when this happens. (For the record, if you need a hotel in Austin on a Friday night [...]

I’m going to have to get HBO now; they’re doing a Sookie series.

... is the release date of the Veronica Mars season 1 DVD. I’m just sayin’.

I never call, I never write. Why do you put up with me?

The truth is, I’ve had nothing interesting to say. I’ve been working constantly, watching the new TV season while catching up on housework, and generally wearing myself to a nub trying to get things done. What the hell “getting things done” will accomplish, [...]

War of the Worlds… wow, that was bad. Charlie Finlay has some spoilerific comments on minor tweaks that would have made it a lot better. I have one: when your ending is so inscrutable, even though it’s a genre cliche, that it has to be explained in a voiceover, your movie stinks. Even the delightful [...]

So I was in the bookstore this evening and I remembered that Justine Larbalestier wanted proof that her book was really out there. Camera phones are fun, even if the resolution stinks. (The bigger question is whether Hastings has it, given their great discounts and their psychotic ordering habits. Especially in YA; I’ll never figure [...]

Tonight is TV night. (New Lost, new 2-hour Alias after a 9-month hiatus.) Anyone who calls my house after 7 pm should be prepared to get yelled at and/or hung up on.

Just so ya know.
