Sadly behind on blogging, as life catches up on us.
Happy Lunar New Year! Year of the Ox! Can’t believe it’s February!
Best wishes to Justice Ginsburg, who’s in treatment for pancreatic cancer.
I’m behind on “How I Met Your Mother” again.
And, the return of “Lost.” I’d like to be on an island, far away from real life. Just not the freaky time-hopping one on “Lost.”
I like “Fringe.” It’s a show where even the reruns are a good watch. I just kind of wish Agent Olivia Dunham could just check the FBI records and learn that, ten years ago, Agents Mulder and Scully kind of already did a lot of the same crazy stuff (okay, maybe they’re not in the same universe). But, it’s nice that Olivia had some kind of resolution with the love of her life, Agent John Scott (who’s supposed to be dead, then-not, then only existing as memory engrams, or maybe he’s just a side effect of the LSD Olivia took to access his memories). Whether we’ll really understand Scott’s role in the crazy paranormal stuff… that’s another story. It’s very “Alias” that way, rather than “X-Files” (which, come to think of it, didn’t make all that much sense either much of the time, but oh well).
The whole 25-Semi-Random Things about Me thing on Facebook is now getting publicity – in the NY Times and the Washington Post. Aww, come on – we used to do that kind of thing by e-mail. Still, it was kind of fun doing it with FC and others. I hopefully didn’t get too personal, but probably demonstrated my much too obvious fondness for Star Trek and British shows.
In the midst of the messiness of the Cabinet selections (it’s never easy to pick someone to do a job; on the bright side, Eric Holder is now US Attorney General – another Alma Mater alumnus!) and admitting that one screwed up and whether that’s a good idea to do (well, President Obama apologized and it’s not like change comes overnight and it’s almost amazing to me how it feels like so many are so cynical and looking for screw ups), at least we can take in the small moments – like that first ride on Marine One – which isn’t as luxurious as Air Force One, but it is a helicopter for those quick rides.
So glad it’ll be Friday.
