HAPPY TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY, MINIONS! ARRRRRRR!
google: continues to rock my world with their personalized homepages; if you have a gmail account, you can set up your own! oh, google, i love you.
farmer's market haul: one potted jade plant, bringing my patio-plant total to two, neither of which are dead yet; one wheel of local (chapel hill creamery) double-cream brie; two small cherry pies. mmmmm, pie.
musically speaking: i spent the weekend listening to lots of early live mason jennings, and it's so strange. early live mason, even the A+ good cave soundboard recordings, sounds so tinny and hollow. even when he got chris and rob in '98, to round out the sound, the live recordings don't really come alive until '00 or so. despite that, though, man, i love me some mason. and i continue to be obsessed with mike doughty's blog.
other things i am enjoying, musically, lately: the star room boys, a country joint from athens, georgia; lots of holly cole and tom waits; rilo kiley; and, of course, the best album of 2005, mike doughty's haughty melodic, which i promise i will post cuts from later this week.
ryan & marissa: OVER IT. come on, kids, haven't you figured out that you're SCREWING UP YOUR OWN LIVES? ryan's burning desire to fix everything is nice, but it's not good tv. although, i suppose, ryan being kicked out of school too is good tv. but how long do you want to bet they're out for? not long, is my bet. BORED.
kirsten & jeri ryan: if i have to watch jeri ryan sobbing on my tv one more time, i'm going to puke. BORED.
jimmy & julie cooper: he wants caleb's money. she wants caleb's money. this episode wasn't even good for nasty bitchy scheming julie cooper. BORED.
seth and summer: summer is bitchy and seth is catty and awkward. THUMBS UP.
sandy: oh, sandy, why are you being shunted to the side? is this punishment for you inflicting rebecca blah blah blah on us last season? while i agree you deserve to be punished for that, this is not on. SANDY, COME BACK! I MISS YOU!
overall: C+ . BORED.
kellerman: i like kellerman, and i'm sorry to see him in all this trouble, but come on, writers, it is boring and going on for too long. speed it up! make it interesting! make me care! i don't care right now - you can do better than that! come ON!
brodie: enough with the shipping brodie around to everybody's house. is he a catalyst for trouble or a real character? make up your minds, people!
kay: NOT ENOUGH KAY. is kay still a detective here? because i haven't seen her take a case yet this season.
bayliss: what i said about kay? goes double for bayliss.
pembleton: we all know that i've never been a pembleton girl, but even so: more pembleton! enough with the kellerman, give me other characters, too! what is this, the mike kellerman show? BORED.
julianne cox: am i supposed to give a shit about her? because so far i don't.
i think that the cinematography of the show is getting better this season, and the writing's better, but the plots aren't. the plots are boring. i am not compelled by season five so far, and i am tired of mike kellerman, department whipping boy, and there is not enough of pembleton recovering. just some extraneous angst because he's still on desk duty. WHATEVER.
on the up side: the wee does have a s5 turn as a unremorseful teenage sociopath. i love the teenaged wee. n'awwwwww.
basically this weekend i lay on the couch and read poetry and avoided my ref assignment that's due on thursday and drank tea and orange juice, and i kept dozing off, stoned on cough and cold medication, with mason in the aural background of my brain, and having weird cold-medication-and-mason-influenced dreams. my chest hurts from coughing so much. on the upside: i finally filled the prescription for the antibiotics for my nagging ear infection, and my ear feels significantly better.
and finally, today's brief moment of i shoulda gone to the university of texas: i would kill undergrads for a chance to be at the austin city limits festival this weekend. sweet jesus fuck, that's a hell of a lineup.
