Is it just me or does it seem like all the TV shows are losing their appeal? Shows I used to adore like ER and Grey’s just don’t interest me the way they used to. I watch them now more out of compulsion than anything else. I won’t say any of them particularly jumped the shark, but it’s definitely teetering on the edge. Or, in the case of ER specifically, it very well could have jumped the shark and I’m in denial over it.
The Office was good (albeit frustrating, Jim) up ’til the end, though. As was Criminal Minds, my new obsession, thanks to Mel. And new episodes of The Closer and Psych are coming up soon. Yessss.

During some web search in the past few days, I somehow pulled up this entry:

Get Engaged in 12 Months

Upon first glance, I figured it was more eHarmony crap. Then I read the second line. Ha.

Okay, The Strangers probably looks like the most horrifying movie ever. When I’m at home alone and see the previews on TV, I get so creeped out that every sound makes me jump, I lock all the doors, and I keep an eye on the nearest possible weapon. Heavy book? Small possibility for defense. Mace? Much better, but I can’t seem to find it. Large boating oar? Will work for now.
Anyway, for some reason, I still want to see it. Dismarum suggested I go to a matinee, so if it’s upsetting, I can leave and it’ll be light outside and everything will be fine. You can see the trailer for it here.
Let’s take bets now on when the sequel will be out.

And: Watching comic-turned-major-motion-picture flicks? Not my thing. But Edward Norton as The Incredible Hulk? Sign me up. Incredible, indeed.

And also: Josh Hartnett is probably in my Top Ten Sexiest Men list. And David Bowie’s still acting?! (Haha, did you think I was adding David Bowie to my list? Psych.) I thought The Labyrinth was the end of it.

A small thing that makes me incredibly happy is when I’m filling out a random survey and can now check the box for “Graduated 4-Year College or University” instead of just “Some College.” Yeah, I smile with pride. Every time.

For bizarre entertainment, check out the 50 worst album covers ever. Some of them surprised even me. One of them was so disturbing in an SVU-sort of way, I actually wrote down the title to figure out what was going on there.

Maybe it’s a geeky thing to be excited about, but after lots of computer issues, I finally reformatted my desktop yesterday. Now I’m excited about adding programs and organizing everything just the way I want. It’s like a clean slate. Or a new haircut.

Um. Okay. That’s all for now.

Peace, love, and Edward Norton.
