Great idea Tiger! It's been soooo long since I watched 'Roswell', I should have a refresher marathon too! Remember that boy and why I fell for him!

Especially while it's so hot and nothing is on TV anymore (I could sit in the cool room and drag out my tapes). I bought a bunch of DVD sets (Forever Knight, Alien Nation - Jason's in one of those too) and haven't watched them yet, so I should make a plan to do that. In my vampire enthusiasm (and frustration BloodTies DVD wasn't out in N. America yet - and STILL not out yet), I got that old vampire show. Watched a couple and it didn't hold up too well.. Very 80s. Big hair and shoulder pads!

You should definitely give 'Twilight' a try Wen - maybe you can get the books from the library or somewhere. They are just so well written and romantic and it's a terrific story. And wildly wildly popular.

Oh, there's this guy at work, he's Greek, and he's tall, dark and ridiculously handsome and always dresses like a page from GQ (used to work in my department but changed departments) - saw him in the elevator this morning and was thinking he's almost exactly how I picture Edward the vampire guy from 'Twilight' looking - perfect. Much more like him that Robert Pattinson, the guy who is playing him in the movie.

Of course if you get to know the guy, he's whiny and goofy (and married with 2 kids) so any illusions about him are quickly spoiled!

LOL! But he has the 'stun your brain, he's so handsome' type of looks, like Edward, plus the impeccable grooming etc. Wish I had a sneaky camera phone so I could show you gals his picture!

I wish our neighborhood was as friendly as yours Podmom. Everybody either works all day or sticks in their house and doesn't mingle. Hate to say I'm starting to be one of the 'old crabby neighbors' instead of one of the young friendly ones, but it's true. That's great you have those long-time friends in the neighborhood.

I'm fully recovered from my bug ordeal Wen, so everybody's sympathy and healing thoughts definitely worked. (I also don't think it actually stung me.) I didn't get a good look at it, but it was black and shiny and had those segments like hornets do - ugh!

It's so bad when people like Olmert and Clinton misbehave in office and embarrass themselves and their country. Although at least Clinton balanced the budget and didn't spent trillions we don't have like Mr Bush! His idea of fixing things is to give more money we don't have away to everybody.

Poddy forgot to thank you for the Tribbles and Captain Kirk, and those leaping ladybugs are so cute! We've were getting a lot of them showing up in our house - no idea where they come from. We just open the window and toss them out (gently).

Today is Mr ML Jr's last day of work.

They gave him all sorts of papers explaining about unemployment and they're taking him out to lunch today. Very nice of them! He's worked there ever since college. Oh well - time for something new for him!

I finally caught that show 'Hopkins' about doctors at Johns Hopkins last night - figures it was the next-to-last one. It was very interesting! Especialy when they did a 3-way swap of kidney transplants! My boss was involved in something similar here - way way cool to actually see it, and see the people involved. Such a miracle! I am kind of removed from the actual stuff, just typing up reports about them from a distance.

They re-aired the wonderful 'Groundhog Day' episode of Supernatural last night too - that's one of the few episodes of that show I ever watched (the other was when Dean made the deal with the devil for his father in the hospital - or vice versa?), and it was so good, I watched it again. That Jared Padelecki is a really good actor, aside from being gorgeous and hunky. Such nice arms!

Never got into that show, the stuff was too scary for me, but I know people love it to pieces, has a huge following. It's a love story about brothers, really (disguised as a show about killing monsters). I never bought that other guy, his brother guy Jensen Ackles, as being anywhere tough enough to kill a fly, never mind evil demons. Way too pretty.

He was on Smallville before and I wasn't crazy about him on there either.

* * *Next day...

Dr Who finale last night was pretty mindblowing - 2 parter and we didn't realize the 2nd part was so long, so missed the beginning. Dr. Who, Captain Jack, all his various companions a bazillion Daleks - what a cool (and totally bizarre) show! We really enjoyed it.

Oh the best thing about the new TV is, it has closed-captioning, and Mr ML is getting a bit hard of hearing and with the accents and all - he turns on the captions and doesn't have to have the TV blaring.

MLette's BF won some money in the lottery (not a fortune) - he bought her roses and took her out to dinner.

He's a pretty good guy.

Finally watched 'TransAmerica' the movie with Felicity Huffman and Kevin Zegers about a transexual person finding out he/she has a kid and driving cross country - sounds awful I know, but it was a really nice movie.
