Fringe

The second season of Fringe starts up tonight at 9pm on FOX network. Be there or be square.

The first episode of the first season was exactly 53 weeks ago. How is that relevant? I just wanted to link to my post from a year ago. :-)

I'm also recording The Office's season debut though I doubt I'll watch any other episodes this season. I like to see where this show starts off but I don't have the patience to watch it every week. Immediately following The Office a new show, Community, is being shown. I'll watch it since the reviews are highly positive but I don't think I'll like it.

What do y'all think of The Jay Leno Show? I only watched the debut on Monday. I thought it was pretty typical of The Tonight Show when Leno was at the helm. Not good, not bad, just kinda in the middle. Not a good sign for a show that carries so much of NBC's future riding on its shoulders.

UPDATE: I watched Community tonight, actually this morning, I guess, and was quite surprised to find that I liked it. The silly characters and smarmy lawyer as the lead character all worked with me. I admit they shouldn't, but they did. And the extended nod to John Hughes was nice, I guess. Of course when they were filming the show they would have no idea that he'd die before it hit the air. I need to get some sleep tonight so I'm waiting until this weekend to watch Fringe.

I love Fringe! Don't enjoy the Office, but am gonna try Community with Chevy Chase. No interest in Jay Leno.

Don't watch Fringe. Saw the office tonight and got bored. Tried to watch Community and fell asleep. The new Leno is not very good, which disappoints me.

Well, it can't be EXACTLY 53 weeks ago since it debuted on a Tuesday and it's now Thursday... just saying.

I don't watch the show though... it was opposite something originally -- I think it moved nights later -- and I couldn't finagle it into a taping schedule. I did record the first episode of Jay Leno, only because nothing new is on yet. I will probably watch it over the weekend. My son said it was very lacking in interview time, but since I haven't seen Leno in years, I don't know how it compares to when he was on The Tonight Show. I've noticed that late night talk shows typically have less than half devoted to interviews in general. {shrug}

Anything coming up during this new season that you are interested in watching? (Besides Survivor, that is... {ducking})

I've heard only good things about Leno but they were people who watched him anyway. I want to start HBO's Bored to Death now that True Blood is off for a year. And I hope I can remember to watch Eastwick starting next week. And happy Heroes is almost back on.

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...

ankle update

S ince a few people object to seeing my feet --poor misdirected souls--I have the two pictures below hidden behind links. Behold them at your own risk! *evil laugh* Actually they're not scary though the first one is a little colorful. T he first picture shows my ankle and foot from the side, as labeled. You can see a lot of general edema of the entire foot. There's also a good bit of discoloration of the ankle area and to a lesser degree the top of the foot all the way down to the toes. The side view is a lot worse in this regard than the top view. T he second picture shows the two feet from the top so you can compare the somewhat normal looking right foot to the injured left foot. There's not much abnormal color on this view but you can see the "sausage like" swelling of the left foot. It's this swelling that is causing my main problem--I can't get the foot into my boots and I need the boots to support the ankle. Damn Catch-22. Side view, looking inward ...

Ostrich poop found here

Image
I took these pictures last Fall while visiting the NC Zoo. On the left you can see what appears to be a nice polite ostrich just wandering around. This impression soon turns out to be false when her dowdy tail feathers raise up and reveal a puckered anus. Ewwww! If you look carefully, you can see that she's made a deposit on the ground. More ewwww! Feel free to click on the image to make them bigger. Details can make all the difference in these shots. In other matters, aren't those really bony legs they have? And couldn't they have a little more color?
