Hmmm...according to the news, you're the most depressed in your 40s, the big low point is 44. The reason is you start thinking about all the things you haven't accomplished or planned to achieve by now, and are overwhelmed with disappointment and frustration with yourself. In your 20's - everything is wide open and new. And your 30's? You still have time, figure things will work out. Hit 40 and you get depressed. It's apparently universial. Odd. Good news? Apparently it gets better once you reach 50, by that time you start to come to terms with what you have and haven't accomplished in life. So four more years - and I'm over the hump. Just have to frigging survive and hopefully accomplish something during them. From what I've read online? I can't tell if this is true or not.

Dead tired from work. Fell asleep on train as opposed to reading Margret Atwood's The Blind Assasin. Now just want brain dead activity. So will knit and watch comfort tv.
Been enjoying Medium which I DVR'd. Better than it used to be. I think I like it better when she isn't working for the DA, less procedural. Also Angelica Huston is fun as a desperate PI using Allison's abilities to promote herself.

In 'Medium's first season both Mother & Father were working long hours, frequently having to work over time, and there would be these wonderful scenes of ordinary domestic tension: who could get their girls ready for school, who would be picking them up after school, who would pick up the dry cleaning, or fix dinner (or pick up a bucket of chicken)....

I don't think I had ever had a show that would give us these ordinary domestic scenes, not full of big fights, but just the small day to day petty stuff. It was my favorite part of the show, the ordinariness of it that seemed (to me) to help ground the fantasy aspects.

Oh it is 9pm now, I guess I'll tune in and check out the 'Lost' episode that you said was fun.
