TV

We just started Season 4 of Big Love. No spoilers please, but I can't help thinking Bill is ignoring his true calling. He is destined to be the One True Prophet of Juniper Creek. 

Also - I'm a new fan of 'Big Bang Theory' (~1/2 way into season 1). I love Sheldon, but Lisa doesn't seem as adoring of the show. Mayhaps a past as a dork helps breed empathy.

I've also begun watching the original BBC series "Life on Mars." LOVE it.

 Also nearly done with Season 1 of "How I met your Mother". While I love Barney (NPH rocks!) I think the actor playing Ned dragggggggs the show down. I dig it, but overall I have to grade it a B-

The Eternal Question

I don't understand why step 2 of the job application process was to upload my f**king resume, while step 3 and 4 is to replicate it by typing in endless fill in the blanks. What was the point of asking for the resume in the first place??????

Some Great Photos of the Youngest Three

The Crew, minus YaYa (she's at Grandma's).

ooooh, I just love him! -Lisa

Taking the kids to the park in their wagon.  It is official: Smiley has outgrown his helmet. 

that's our kids, hold the helmet, not wear them, lol - Lisa 

Jeez people, bleep her shoes. She wouldn't wear 'em, and chose to walk to and from the park barefoot, and play barefoot as well.

Some TV

Wed evening we watched the premiere of "The Whole Truth". We were not impressed, finding it nothing more than a cookie cutter courtroom drama. C. OTOH, Hell's Kitchen was great fun, in large part because of the fine cast of piss poor, ghetto-riffic cooks they've cobbled together this season. B+

Also - I've finally finished watching the last of this season's Dr Who. Just this morning I voiced skepticism over the season's overall story arc (the 'cracks in time') but I'm happy to say Moffatt pulled it all together quite nicely. So, for the yr: a great new Dr, quite possibly the hottest companion ever (Amy), the first married couple/companions in the show's run, and a 1st rate writing team - I'm psyched for Season 6!

Dexter by Design

I just finished 'Dexter by Design' (bk #4), a very good addition to the series & a welcome recovery from the debacle of bk 3.

Glee

I was happy to see that Glee came back as strong as ever, & I can't wait to see the Britney epis. next wk.

FV friends: I mistakenly deleted my newly expanded nursery in Farmville, and it cannot be restored. So kindly start barraging me with expansion materials if you can. TYIA.
