I swear, it is just like that around here…I either post six times a day for a week, or you don’t hear from me at all for five days. I’m all discombobulated and in absolutely no set routine whatsoever, which usually gets me into trouble or at the very least, makes me unproductive. I’m working on that. I blame this “in between” time between school terms.
Speaking of school…remember my team project? Well, we got an 89 on it…with the “peer evaluation,” my individual grade was bumped up to a 90. Funny thing…the vast majority of our points were taken off for lack of analysis and lack of tie-in to the course material. Gee, I predicted that one, didn’t I? The good news is this grade came out a few days before my individual project was due, so CU and I went over that 22-page behemoth with a fine-tooth comb before turning it in our last night in Wilmington. Still waiting for the grade on that one…stay tuned.
On the television front, we’ve recently gotten ourselves hooked on Weeds. Along the lines of Entourage last summer, we decided to see what all the hoopla was about. Turns out, it’s the wonderfully edgy humor and grown-up content you’d expect from pay cable. Aww, a drug dealer with a heart of suburban mom gold. Aww. Weeds is everything Desperate Housewives could have been, had it not been on ABC…on Sunday night. The best part? Denny Duquette as Nancy Pantsy’s recently departed husband. Rrrrow. The worst part? Netflix needs to take these DVDs out of rotation, because they’re all scratched up and skippy. Nothing makes my brain twitch faster than a stuttery DVD viewing.
On the home front, we’re renovating our laundry room and our pantry…and will begin the daunting task of restaining all of our cabinets when we get back from Hawaii. That’s right…the kitchen renovation begins in September. We should call TLC or HGTV…they’d love to hang out with us for three months while we put all those ducks in a row.
What are all of you watching this summer? I’d love to hear everyone’s opinions on Big Love and Entourage. Which is better, The Singing Bee or So You Think You Can Karaoke Like A Fifth Grader/Who’s Missing Line Is It Anyway? Did you hear Michael was coming back to Lost? I think Brenda’s pregnant on The Closer.

Never having gotten around to ordering HBO I feel like I’m missing out on a lot! I’ve loved Entourage but haven’t seen it for at least a couple of years.
Ahhh, Hawaii ~ Have a great time!! Iam enjoying this season of Rescue Me and I tried Mad Men media.amctv.com/originals/madmen, but find it a bit odd!
We’ve been watching “Big Love” (think it’s great) and “John From Cincinnati” (having trouble understanding what’s going on, but can’t stop watching). Other than that old reruns of “Little House On The Prairie” or “King of Queens”.
I saw the first season of Weeds when I had Showtime in Hawaii but I traded it off for Encore since it was cheaper. I need to catch up via Netflix. You know, I’m having difficultie with some of their movies as well that are starting to stall and de-colorize in my DVD player — but not any of the videos that I actually own.
Heh-heh. Hooked on Weeds.
Hooked on John from Cincinnati. Would like to watch Big Love, but the time I tried, I couldn’t get into it. Need to hit the record button on Weeds.
I love Big Love!
