It’s probably no surprise at all that in the past week I have been watching more TV than anyone ever should. In case you were wondering, it is really hard on the soul. Unfortunately the world of books hasn’t been doing me any more favors, and it’s been hard to even hold a book up, […]

I was cast back to two very vivid childhood memories very suddenly today while thinking, sadly, about TV. But, there it is, a part of my own history and my family history, a significant amount of TV watching. On MamaPop we have the question: What’s appointment TV for you? What do you watch in real […]

I seem to be getting both in equal measure, but that still means I’m having success. This week I signed myself up for a photography workshop led by Me Ra Koh. I knew as soon as I saw the announcement on her web site that she was coming to DC, that I was going to […]

Another week, another episode of SYTYCD, another night of ear-ringing from Mary Murphy’s screaming. Is it getting more gratuitous, or am I just putting on my rose-colored glasses when I look to the past? People seem to be knocking Toni Basil out there on the internets, and I don’t actually get why. She was full […]

I haven’t been talking about it too much, I think, but I have been overtaken with obsession with the show NCIS. I’ve even made Jack, the least jealous boyfriend on the entire planet, jealous briefly by having a spiffy McGee wallpaper designed by some photoshop-savvy teenager set up on the laptop for weeks now. In […]

Last week’s Top Chef episode was one of the best I’ve seen. There was no histrionics, no jumping through hoops, just a good challenge about good food with what, to all appearances, was fair judging. (I get tired of the “you can’t win” style of judging on this show: i.e. “You were too creative” vs. […]

Today I watched a little bit of football. So did half the country, sure. Of course for me it’s something I might do once a year. If I’m around football fans, I’ll watch it, if I’m not, I tend not to seek it out. The teams I like are Miami and Tampa Bay, so the […]

We still don’t have a permanent professor. It’s been 3 class sessions with either no teacher or a sub, and 3 class sessions with no lecture to speak of; maybe I’d call it 4 since one of the subs was a little lost. This is pretty tough for me, feeling a little rudderless in a […]

Last night as the “next time on” for Grey’s Anatomy heralded the return of Kevin McKidd, I started to wonder why us Americans are big suckers for guys from other English-speaking countries strapping on an American accent and playing snarky anti-heroes. The Moonlight guy: Australian The Life guy: British The Life on Mars guy: Irish […]
