I've had an entry open for two days now. Did I mention it was spring break for the kidlet? Yeah. Next week I'll just be gone on vacation, but this week... home with a highly bored, highly energetic little kid. He doesn't want to go to bed or sleep either (he's usually a pretty good sleeper, but not this week).
But despite this, we had our parent teacher conference for the middle term and found that I have the most amazing child in all of kindergarten. Or, y'know, words to that effect. :)
In dumb project news, I've been trying to finally get "Meteor Storm" off my DVR by saving it to disk. I was hoping I could connect to the DVR and grab the VOB or whatever file it is, but my computer won't talk to it. boo. So I video captured the movie, and it inexplicably saved at mediocre resolution. The whole POINT of making my own was to do a high-def version for pretty caps. I'm full of technological ineptness this week. bah So I'm kind of watching it again, as I cut it: the premise is still ridiculous, but it's watchable and pretty. Really, it could be worse.
(in Skiffy Movie news, I am CRUSHED to discover that Misha Collins' Skiffy Saturday spectacular Stonehenge Apocalypse doesn't air until at least June, looks like. BOO. C'mon, STONEHENGE APOCALYPSE... how can that not be awesomely bad?)
(three zillion years later in this tab... Kidlet didn't go down until almost 10. ARRRRGH)
THERE WAS TEEVEE.
Justified continues to rock my world -- it's such a nice change of pace to have crooks be actual small time criminals and dirtbags working the angles and betraying each other for five g's, rather than (a) criminal masterminds or (b) serial killers, like most cop shows. It's light-hearted and obviously the drama's heightened, but in some ways, it feels more grounded in reality (than, say, a show like Castle which is fun, too, but very teevee-ish). Three eps in, I'm still liking it (and I have a notoriously short attention span).
Before that, there was LOST.
( I LOST THE PACKAGE )
I dvr'd V and hopefully I'll get a chance to watch tomorrow.
