Oi. I'm stuffed. Todd and I just got back from dinner with my parents. My brother's going to Spain for a couple of weeks and my folks stopped by after dropping him off at O'Hare. In addition to dinner, they bought us a ton of groceries -- and a space heater! 'Think we're all set until financial aid refunds come in on the 22nd.
I wasn't floored by last night's House (though the House/Wilson stuff was terrific!), but it's lovely to have the show back -- even if we're plunging into another hiatus. I've learned to keep my nose out of fandom so I don't go crazy (I didn't even see a preview for this week's episode, that's how out of touch I was) and it's been nice to experience the natural course of the show, without all the hype. Our local public television affiliate has started running Life On Mars (the John Simm series) and I'm already caught up in it. And, with LOST coming back in a matter of weeks, my TiVo dance card is pretty full. I can't wait for LOST.
luuser works for ABC and she's seen a bunch of the scripts. She tells me that it's going to be pretty epic -- "You won't be disappointed," were her exact words. :DDDDDD
[ETA:] Jesse Spencer's expression in this picture is just perfect.
