Now Playing: queensryche - promised land
not much on tv of late. a mildly disappointing final hour of nip/tuck (making me hope for a different reason than before that there will be no fourth season), a few new episodes of arrested development, and sleeper cell (which was good aside from a couple setting issues... notably that that "stadium" was so very much NOT dodger stadium (far too small, and on too flat a ground, as dodger stadium is famously in chavez ravine), and that bar was very much NOT in glendale (though i guess even folks from glendale wouldn't mind that last one much))
been watching season two of scrubs on dvd and enjoying it a whole lot. too bad three and four aren't available just yet, though five will be having new episodes starting like next week
didn't die in a plane crash on the way to or back from the carolinas
but, why i'm really here today, catching up on the boring (which apparently i hadn't done in 16 days, though i was out of town for five of those days and sick for another four or five), is a viewing of the first two hours of wild palms last night. i'd remembered the miniseries as being kinda cool, comparing it in my head, as many reviews do, to twin peaks, but it was hardly good, and i really don't think i'll be bothering with the rest of it. it was strangely watchable, i'll admit, and it was a bit of a novelty to see an early 90s viewpoint on virtual reality and that wonderful thing called cyberspace (which i've yet to get my virtual reality headset, by the way... don't have a personal jetpack either... oh well). but, it's kinda boring and trying a bit too hard to be interesting
