Grumble grumble, stupid cramps have not made this is a pleasant day. grumble grumble.

As a result of my pain, which kept me from too much movement, I watched a bunch of television until I went to work.

Veronica Mars:

After the 8 episode mini-marathon over the weekend, I'm finding it impossible to go through a day without my VM fix. I re-watched Silence of the Lamb and Clash of the Tritons. They were particularly enjoyable since I haven't seen either of those episodes for months. In fact, Clash of the Tritons was the first episode of VM that I ever saw - I recall really enjoying it even though I felt like I was missing out on a bunch of stuff.

I love when Veronica gets Sheriff Lamb to read "Veronica Mars is smarter than me", so so funny! It's also fascinating to watch the counseling session now that I know a lot more about the characters. Of course one of the best moments is when Veronica does karaoke! Or maybe the best moment is Wallace's reaction to speeding away in the car. Damn, so many good moments, I just can't choose my favourite!! I love these kinds of predicaments!

I'm in such VM-mode that when I heard someone's lunch was stolen from our work fridge I started coming up with Veronica-esque solutions. I suggested we set up a video camera pointed at the fridge to monitor who's taking what (someone pointed out this would cause problems with privacy laws). I also started trying to deduce who could have taken the food, eg. since they were hot dogs that ruled out all the vegetarians in the office. Of course, I don't want to actually go through life being suspicious of everyone around me, it's way more fun to watch Veronica solve mysteries than do it myself.

Venture Brothers:

I watched "The Incredible Mr. Brisby" which is an amusing satire on Walt Disney and Disneyland. As well there's this hysterically ridiculous plot about the Orange County Liberation Front, at one point I believe they chant "free the OC". This amused me as it made me think of the tv show, The O.C., and how I'd like it to be freed from it's popularity so it can be edgier and less boring. Here's hoping the new season will be more entertaining.

The Amazing Race:

Before I went to Muskoka I watched the heart-stopping finale of season two. I was so worried that the annoying and mean to each other couple, Tara and Will, would win that I was literally at the edge of my seat. It was so awesome that Alex and Chris won!

I'm now watching the beginning of the 3rd season (also new to me). What's impressive about the show is that it's consistently good - new and different challenges and locations. I have noticed that the teams in the earlier seasons seem more interesting than the last few seasons. I wish they'd stop the trend towards models and/or actors, they're often the most boring teams. I'm excited that the next season is families, as it should hopefully veer away from the model/actor sort and give us more fun family dynamics.

Buffy:

I always try to catch the re-runs whenever possible and I saw part of Passion (2:17) today. I'm sort of glad that I missed the really upsetting scenes because with my horrible cramps and hormones on edge I would have been a wreck (I normally sob through a large part of Passion).

Serenity trailer:

There's a new trailer on the internet and it's fabulous! It certainly seems to have lots of spoilery scenes but I'm really glad I watched it!! I'm now practically counting down the days until September 30th!
