I finally got a chance to watch last night’s Six Feet Under, and I apologize to Alan Ball: the magic’s still there, it waws just hiding during the first three episodes this season. Can’t wait to see why Brenda has to talk to Nate next week. I’m obsessed with this show. Is that so wrong?
My fingers are all bruised and bloody and sore. The good news is that I’ve quilted all 50 stars and am assembling the union. The bad news is that I have one long stripe and all the short stripes to quilt still. Luckily they aren’t as labor intensive and nitpicky as the stars were, so they should go a lot faster.
I wonder if the cruise in April is going to happen. I was up every 30 minutes checking the news. Is there anything scarier sounding than an air raid siren? When I was a kid they used to test the local siren monthly and it would never fail to scare the crap out of me. Imagine having one go off 10 times a day, knowing that it could be for real this time, racing to put on your gas mask…
I think I’m going to take a sleeping pill tonight.
No! No! No! No! 16 Candles sequel in the works. No! No! No!
My eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyees!
In watching the first season’s episodes on DVD, I’m recalling why I really love Six Feet Under. And I’m realizing why this season really doesn’t interest me. I think the series has jumped the shark.
There’s been nothing so far that’s topped the poignance of the first season. The end of the pilot, where Nate’s standing on the sidewalk watching all the people pass him by. The prayer circle in Familia. I just watched that one again and cried and cried.
Alan Ball, where’s the magic? Get it back!
I’m trying very hard not to blog about the war, but defacing one of your country’s most famous landmarks to protest – isn’t that cutting off your nose to spite your face?
I don’t know what’s going on. I just watched a Cops where a guy got caught with a big old roach in his ashtray, plus a little scale, and the officer just wrote him a ticket. Didn’t humiliate him or anything. WTF?
Yesterday I decided that in order to keep peace in the house, we shouldn’t talk about politics anymore.
Will someone please sit down and explain Donnie Darko to me, preferably in words of two syllables or less?
