SNOW DAY

Yes, it’s August and yes, I need one…of course, I also need a beach day but you just can’t pretend a beach appears in the backyard.  Snow’s easier, just don’t look outside and stay in the room with the air conditioner…well, more a metaphysical snow day…but I have to make some calls for my next article…did I mention working on the weekend is fun(add sarcastic punctuation).  I’m not really good at relaxing.  Maybe I’ll pastel.  Or read a book.  Or watch the animated Hellboy movie finally.  If only there were a switch to change the Olympics from summer to winter — curling is soothing.  Ah, there’s a break — track down the curling movie and yes, all ye doubtful, there is one:  Men With Brooms.

finished e-mails; started Project SJB to-do list; updated blogs(hi blogs) with Muppet, Middleman + Eureka news; now to unwind; question: HOW

EUREKA + ROUND 3 Score

OK, good week for fun scifi shows, but between that and the Olympics I’m not getting to my rented animated Hellboy movie. For Middleman comments see recent Middleman entry. As for Eureka, very enjoyable.

Eureka: plus for random, crazy, mad science(and scientist), plus for robot dogs, plus for actually bringing back some of the characters from Season 2 for local color, plus for mucus (double plus), great to see so much Cafe Diem activity, minus for a little bit of plot fumble at the end, plus for tunneler, minus for awkwardness of Thorne-Henry-Carter brewing intrigue, plus for no Zane, minus for Jack and Zoe being so considerate of each other’s feelings for 2 episodes in a row, minus for Allison’s dress not being foofy enough…I think that adds up to a 4.5 on the EM Scale (-5 to 5), so this week’s result is a close win by Eureka, continuing their hot streak.

ROUND 3: The Middleman (finally in the positives!)3.5; Eureka, 4.6(the more I think about it, the better it gets)

Tao verse (#2):succeed by not trying to; “Conduct the teaching of no words”; how not to wreck?quoting:http://ping.fm/AAJ5c

MIDDLEMAN

The Middleman back on form: pluses for Battle of the Bulge Pancake House and location tags, plus for code 86(Get Smart reference, I hope), plus for Bond references and melty ray tracking the current Middleman to his doom, minus for mushy stuff (but Gayle liked it), plus for Kevin Sorbo, plus for witty banter…I said 3.5 on the EM scale (-5 to +5); Gayle sayeth 4, but I’m sticking with 3.5.

And Eureka approaches the plate…

all right my fellow insomniacs, first glance at the new Gullible and Twitchy; see what daylight’s like: http://ping.fm/Iui0q
