Damp, cold, musty, moldy, rainy day...that makes me think of curling up with a good book under a lamp. Not that I did it. Been a bit annoyed with books lately. They aren't satisfying me. I don't know why.
New favorite tv show is The Good Wife - which I've decided is the most realistic and best legal procedural that I've seen in quite some time. It has a strong central character, who happens to be female. Is a realistic depiction of what it is like to be a litigator. And reminds me of why I am not one or a lawyer for that matter. Also unlike 85%, that's right 85% of the tv shows on at the moment, it is not "sexist"or "chauvinist" or blatantly "racist". Sort of a nice change of pace.
( The Good Wife, no real spoilers )
Highly recommend.
Well, Dollhouse has apparently been cancelled. The good news is that we will get to see all 13 episodes. ( Dollhouse and tv show cancellations )
Anywho..just in case you are feeling sorry for Whedon, don't. I just read in this week's EW that the Buffy S8 comic is number 8 in the Comic-Book Best-Sellers. That's actually an accomplisment, if you consider that most of the books on the list are Marvel or DC action comics featuring a decidedly male centric group of heros and with either Batman, Green Lantern, X-men or Spiderman in the title. Go Whedon - and kudos for getting a book about a female superhero that isn't wearing almost nothing in the top ten list. Granted, I'm more invested in the Buffy comics than Dollhouse...for a lot of reasons, I won't go into. I just like Buffy, Xander, Willow and Giles better than Echo, Sierra, Victor and Ballard -let's leave it at that.
Baked a gluten-free blueberry pie today. The pie crust is good. The filling, not so great - it lacks a tangy blueberry taste. From the Grainless Bakery and I'm guessing "frozen" too long? Not certain. Will try the apple to see if it is better.
