I thought I'd pop in a day early and do my Track of the Week. I've been listening to the Norah Jones cd we gave my Dad for Christmas. I love the combination of her great voice and the understated piano accompanying her in the background. The song Don't Know Why particularly touches me. So sad and contemplative.
I watched Eliza Dushku on That '70s Show last night. (Don't worry, I was taping both Smallville and Lost.) She was very good. She was not at all Faith-like. She did not wear a bikini. Also, she seems to be getting younger.
Gothic: If I ever get to Egypt, I'll definitely do the hot air balloon ride. Then I'll be able to check two things off my Things I've Always Wanted To Do list. *s*
Mazzy: Be sure to say "hi" to Corsa for me. *s*
Your plans sound fun. I prefer the sort of casual, easy-going get-togethers you described. It gives people more of a chance to relax and talk.
Sara Gilbert has been playing an intern on ER this season. Her parts have been getting bigger in the last few episodes. She looks to be a regular.
Grimma: My daughter made an observation I agreed with last time we were watching Point Pleasant together. She said they're moving things along too fast - not letting the plot and characters develop over time. (I think Buffy may have spoiled her for ordinary television. *s*) We both agreed it feels as though they're afraid the show will be canceled soon and are trying to tell as much story as they can before that happens. I still think the idea is interesting. I like the way the actress playing the main character (don't know her name) gives us a sense of the sweet, good person at odds with the evil half ruled by sudden emotions. I find the "big bad" interesting, too. He's subtle - just a push here and a nudge there. He gives the people in the town opportunities, then stands back as their worse natures take over.
Dogtrot: I don't think I'll be shelling out money for Lost DVDs anytime soon. I still have too many seasons of Buffy to buy first! *g*
Veronica Mars talk (spoiler fonted for the protection of the unwary):
I really like this show! I find almost all the characters interesting, except perhaps her ex-boyfriend. He started out okay, but has become a bit of a zombie lately. Personally, I don't care if he was calling out her name in the hospital. I'd rather see her get together with Logan. I like the complexity of his character. His seething-beneath-the-surface anger with his abusive father, his bonding with and support of Weevil, his moments of vulnerability with Veronica (especially when making Lily's tribute film) and his sense of humor - edged as it is.
I also like Lily's ghostly appearances. I hope they continue those. I love the way we get bits and pieces of the story behind her murder in almost every episode, but it doesn't interfere with the story of the week.
There's just so much going on with this show. Veronica's story unravels slowly but surely, too. And you know that eventually everything will tie together, but at this point it really isn't obvious how.* ( cc Mazzy, Grimma, Dogtrot, and anyone else who's watching)
'Nuff babble for tonight. Tired now. {{Hugs}} to all!
