went grocery shopping today, and then started unloading the trailer full of old fence boards P dropped off -- unfortunately it has nails in it, so each board needs to be "de-fanged". i'm saving the best boards to build more raised beds; all the rest will be cut up for firewood.

finished watching season 3 of burn notice, and am torn between trying to catch up with season 4 in progress, or waiting until i can marathon the entire season. will probably wait. also waiting for leverage's 3rd season, and that's a difficult wait; i've really enjoyed it up til now. finishing up bones season 4, and wow, if i could have hit the people responsible during the episode with the androgynous japanese doctor, i would have. i am not sure i want to inflict another season of bones on myself; overall the ratio of cool tempe versus stupid comic relief and moralizing booth (can i hope he'll die under the knife? no, i didn't think so.) has just deteriorated so much. might start lost, which will allegedly give me several seasons before going sour.

I've been in much the same situation re: Bones. The androgynous Japanese doctor made me wince in so many... oh god that was just awful. So glad that there are plenty of fun new shows to take up my attention *hugs tv to self*

*heh*. i don't find the choice all that great, and it really annoys me if i want to like a show badly, but they make it hard for me.

but yeah, there _are_ other things to watch. and i can always retreat to anime if live action tv starts to bug me. i am more forgiving when the people aren't supposed to be real.

I've got to recommend waiting to watch Burn Notice on dvd. I did the same thing and watched the first 3 seasons on DVD and now I can't stand watching it on TV. The commercials just drive me nuts.

And unfortunately I feel myself becoming burnt out on Burn Notice...there's a pattern there that is starting to annoy me.

(sorry for the double post...I keep forgetting.)

i don't watch anything on TV anymore -- i usually wait until it's on DVD, and if i am hooked enough that it's not on DVD yet, i'll watch torrents. commercials are vile -- i realize they finance the whole thing, and if they would just cluster them at the start/end of the show, i could stomach it, but interspersed as they are they totally rip me out of the story and that screws with my emotions. no, thanks.

yeah, patterns in the design of a show become much more obvious when one marathons them. i usually take a break after watching an entire season and look at something else. unless i get totally sucked in like i was by house.
