New TV Shows

In what is quite a surprise to me, my favorite of the new shows is Chase, an NBC police procedural about the US Marshal Service.

A lot of the appeal is generated by the female lead, Kelli Giddish, who stars as U.S. Marshal Annie Frost.

It's difficult to believe that the actress is only 30. She looks and holds the screen like a performer with a lot more experience. Just look at all those "determination" lines around her mouth and eyes! Talk about sexy. Or is it the gun and badge? LOL the leather jacket doesn't hurt either!

Lone Star, another series with a Texas hook, seems to be canceled after just two episodes. It was a very good show but I had already decided to stop recording it. The story line just looked to be getting too convoluted and The Event is my show this season for convoluted plot lines. I don't need two like that.

I've already deleted from my record list Running Wilde and No Ordinary Family, both after just watching one episode. They were horrible. At least Wilde has the cute and perky Kerri Russell on it. But that's not nearly enough---the show just stinks.

I like several of the people in Better With You but that only lasted 2 episodes before I stopped recording it. The mom from The 70's Show is on it. I'm still recording The Defenders but it's hanging by a thread. Both stars (Jerry O'Connell and Jim Belushi) are so annoying I keep hoping one of their clients shoots them.

Last night I watched the final episode of the first season of The Glades. I love that show. I hope the show avoids the Sophomore Jinx when it comes back in 2011 on A&E (of all places).
The series will go back into production later this year on 13 additional episodes, set for 2011.

A&E boasts that for the season to date, "The Glades" has averaged 3.2 million total viewers for each premiere episode, becoming the network's No. 1 series in total viewers and making A&E the top ad-supported cable network on Sunday nights, A&E says. "We're pleased that the series has struck a chord with fans," adds president and general manager Bob DiBitetto.

I've recorded a bunch of shows, but not watched any yet, except House and Amazing Race. The House story line may be interesting, I wonder how long he'll be 'nice'? I always knew there was a 'sweet' guy under the rough exterior LOL.

I think I might be happier without a DVR. That's way too much responsibility!

Nitroflex at home

Image
I mentioned a few days ago that I'd purchased off of Craig's List an exercise machine. A Nitroflex, to be more specific, for the grand sum of $75. The boxes you see to the left were bought by the seller as discontinued merchandise over a year ago and stored in his back yard storage shed. You might be able to see some of the bugs and such that had made their homes on these boxes. I left them out on my deck for a few days before opening them to allow the insects to leave gracefully or die in the sun. The picture to the left is the pieces from the box, unboxed, and up in one of my upstairs bedrooms. For the most part it wasn't difficult to move it around though two pieces were heavy and a number of them were kinda long and bulky to be wandering about the house with. Surprisingly, this kit didn't require any extra tools. There were two allen keys and one combo wrench included in the boxes and that was all it took to put it together. The whole thing only took about half an h

flea!

Yep, that's one of those damn blood suckers. Renee's revenge on my neglecting her feelings, no doubt. We guys just have it so tough! LOL This here is a picture of my ankle and while it's not very obvious, I guess, there's a bunch of flea bites on there. Itches a bit, dammit. The annoying part is that the damn fleas can't use my blood--fleas are mostly species specific and don't have the proper enzymes to make meals out of blood from other critters--so they're not getting anything out of biting me. It's just frustration and starvation driving their biting. Well, I guess the real annoying part is the bites themselves, but I wanted to seem a little sensitive there for a moment. But no more of that. Kill the fleas! While most of the bites are on my ankles and calves, there's an occasional bite up higher like these 4 on my thigh. They're kinda hard to see through the hair but I wasn't able to focus on the skin with all the hair in the way. Sorry.

ankles: the sequel

Image
I've heard rumors that one post about my sprained ankle wasn't enough so here's more pictures to satisfy a public hungry for swollen flesh... This was taken the morning after I sprained the ankle. There's starting to be a black and blue mark from the blood vessels leaking At this point the swelling is still very localized to the lateral side of the left ankle and presumably that's the tendon that was affected (very likely since I really screwed it up 15 years ago and it's got extra play in it) In this picture, taken on Sunday evening about 25 hours after the injury, you can see the edema, or swelling, has spread out over the top and entire lateral side of the foot. There's also more evidence of hematoma at the skin above the metatarsals. At the same time, there's still significant swelling at the original site to the point that it totally eclipses the left ankle. Here's a lateral view taken at the same time as the photo above to show the hematoma bet
