How shocking, doctor!

Just back from my nerve study, which thankfully didn't eat up too much of my morning. I went in and was temporarily borg-ified, with sticky pads on my hands and feet. It was all rather uncomfortable - they zap you with tiny electric shocks and it's not hideously painful but it's not fun either, and you get to watch your hand twitch in your lap all of its own accord. Very Dr. Frankenstein. I'll have to wait a few days for the results.

In the meantime, my mom is safely returned from Dublin and is taking her big adventure in stride. What happens next, we have no idea.

Well, fucknuts

They've brought the axe down on Pushing Daisies. I suppose it's not really surprising - there have been big hints that this was on the way - but I'm still really upset about it. It just seems to be another in a long list of interesting, different, really cool shows that are destined for short lifespans. I'll buy the DVDs, I think.

Bemo is mad that they canceled My Own Worst Enemy, but I've never seen it so I can't commiserate.

My tv-watching is so funny these days. I'm into The Mentalist for the cast, despite the frequently average storylines. (Oh, and Simon Baker is ridonkulously hot. Every time he flashes one of his crooked little smirks I want to fall off the sofa and flail around.) I watch Life, again for the actors (I haven't seen season one yet, so the conspiracy plot is not of any interest to me). I've got my clutch of reality shows. I have Chuck and Criminal Minds. I used to have Numbers but haven't watched it in ages, and I'm not sure why it's not appointment tv for me anymore. I gave up on Heroes and while Bemo loves The Sarah Connor Chronicles, I don't catch it very often. Mad Men is gone for the next nine months, but I'll be glad when it's back. I'd be watching Dexter and True Blood if I had those channels, but I don't so I wait and get them on DVD.

Looking at my current list, I seem to really like cop/mystery based shows, but only if I like the cast and their relationships or a certain flair they seem to have. This is also why none of the CSI incarnations ever appealed to me.
