Enterprise has been annoying me. Why do these people never take the simplest security and safety precautions?

West Wing had better improve. It used to be that each hour was jam-packed with plot. I would look at the clock, amazed that only half an hour had passed, and delightedly anticipate the remaining story. And a twist at the forty-five-minute mark only meant that another twist remained! Too slow and deliberate, now.

Last night, after a very enjoyable day with Sarah, I plopped on the futon and watched TV. I have a soft spot for Alias because sometimes they speak Russian, and for The Practice because I loved it before the mainstream did. (The only picture of a celebrity that I ever hung in my locker was a photo of Dylan McDermott (a year before he made the cover of Us). He and David Duchovny, I believed, were the only attractive male celebrities. I sought some Kabalarian-style meaning in this.)

The Practice has shifted substantially since I started watching six years back. Several of the original main characters, including McDermott's, don't appear at all in the episodes I've seen this season. However, there's a new fella who intrigues me. He really reminds me of creepy, calm, ambitious, seemingly forthright guys I know in real life. Watching him is helping me understand them.

Back to work. My inbox : a forest :: my skill and speed : a small hand-axe.
