nip/tuck had an off night, too, I thought, with poor Sean drinking to get through the holidays and Christian reunited with a black child (Wilbur from a previous season before I started watching) he thought was his. I did love seeing Charles Haid as the homeless guy (he's been behind the cameras directing in recent years a lot more than he's been acting).

I still have last night's LAW & ORDER: SVU to watch and I started a CSI: MIAMI episode from the disc in the player, but I only got ten minutes in.

I just saw NBC's midseason slate necessitated by the end of Sunday night football and shifts by other networks upcoming.

THE APPRENTICE will be the Sunday 9 p.m. show on NBC followed by CROSSING JORDAN in its familiar timeslot at 10.

STUDIO 60 is going to remain on Mondays at 10, at least for now.

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS moves out of the Tuesday at 8 suicide slot opposite AMERICAN IDOL and will be on Wednesday nights at 8.

NBC is putting DATELINE on Tuesday at 8 p.m.

NBC has two hour long midseason replacement shows - THE BLACK DONNALEYS and RAINES, but they have not yet been placed on the schedule.

I am also hopeful the USPS man (Humphrey) will bring me some DDDVD boxes.

I've ordered quite a few DVDs over the last couple of weeks from a variety of sources and so far the only thing that I've gotten is a package from amazon.co.uk for my niece.

Where's my stuff??

DR MattH, re: last night's VERONICA MARS.

Okay i loved the finale of this arc. Totally satisfying. I won't say that i was surprised at who the rapist turned out to be. But i loved how it all turned out.

My favorite parts were 1. parker coming to the rescue. 2. ra guy giving veronica that tea (totally caught me off guard even though we had been explicitly told that he had the keys to all the rooms. 3. the murder (i was expecting the professor). 4. but my most favorite bit was logan smashing the police car and where he ended up afterwards. Totally awesome ending.

Btw, we had so many real clues throughout the previous episodes. But how cool that veronica helped free the guy who would later attack her.

And how interesting that the not so interesting prison experiment (from the second show) played such an important part in the finale. We know moe was in the experiment last year. But was mercer in it with logan/wallace this year?

I hope the show is back next week. Not sure when the next arc starts.

Ron---good for you on learning to say "no". Greg and I have run ourselves ragged over the last 5 years or so in community activism, volunteering and serving on boards. I have realized that the people who do the most work in this regard (in our town anyway) don't have kids. Raising kids is so much harder that maybe we volunteer out of guilt that we aren't raising kids!

All of the councilpeople we've helped, all of the city activites---planting trees, being docents, monitoring streams, organizing neighborhoods to deal with their own issues, was of no help to us when we faced our own problems. No one helped us fight for our historic district, which is being destroyed by developers.

We have also helped out so many people on their films for free.

So for the first time, the past year, we have learned to say "no" because we realized that if we didn't, we would never move to the new house.

Saying "no" has been a very liberating experience for us.

We still volunteer for a few groups, including SMA and our new neighborhood group, but generally, until we move, our mantra will be:

JUST SAY NO!

Well, I'm trying out the site. As you all know I'm out here from New York for the Brain and thoroughly enjoying. I'm learning all about Bruce, and I'm on my second of the Kritzer books and am laughing my way through his childhood. I love reading about the blow by blow of his daily life on this site.
He's giving me the restaurant tour of the city which I'm loving. Of course we're touring the restaurants that are open after 10pm since that is when rehearsal finishes. All of them have been great. Musso and Franks, Astro Burger, Genghis Cohen, Prizzie's, Birds, Kendalls. I'm having a wonderful time and the show should be great. I'd love to meet you in person after the show and hope you're coming. I love reading all the postings!

...I have never seen a pomengranate in the flesh!
...

We had five (count 'em) pommegranate bushes in our back yard, when I was growing up in Burbank, CA. Every year, those prolific bushes would give us hundreds of fruits. And every year, I was the one who got to juice them all. This involved cutting them open, getting all the seeds out, and running the seeds through a food mill. Messy work, and whatever I was wearing that day was ruined, but I enjoyed it (and my sisterthebitch refused to help). After, Mom would strain the juice through a few layers of cheesecloth to filter out all the impurities, and then she'd make pommegranate jelly! Absolutely delicious, marvelous ruby stuff.

That's what childhood memories are made of.

VERONICA MARS.

I hope the show is back next week. Not sure when the next arc starts.

I think I read somewhere that the next new show isn't until early January, but I could be wrong about that.

I did truly love the episode and this entire first arc.

And good news! Ratings were up, too! It was VERONICA's highest ever rating last night. The CW has to be happy with this pairing of VERONICA and GILMORE GIRLS. Both face very heavy competition and are doing much better than shows with much less competition on other nights.

Of tonight's programming, "Jericho" really needs to step up and slap me in the face if it wants me to continue watching.

Can't wait for "Medium" which I always find entertaining and satisfying.

A flip-side to the filling-in-for-absent-workers problem:

For me, filling is is a good thing. Since I'm a part-time worker, every time I'm asked to fill in it means that I get more hours on the job, which in turn means more on my weekly paycheck.

I started out this week with just eightteen hours scheduled.

Sunday, Kimmy really wanted to have off, so I got her shift, adding five hours.

Another two hours were added on Tuesday, due to another co-worker calling out.

Today, I was asked if I could come in for an eight-hour shift on Friday. I said sure!

So, I'm up to thirty-three hours for the week. And, since union rules say that I only have to have one day off per week, I could still be called in on either Thursday or Saturday for up to seven hours before I get pushed into overtime. Sure, overtime means more pay, but we try to avoid it because it makes the regional bean-counters nervous.

Oh, one more thing about the pommegranate bushes - they have really sharp stickers! Every year, they had to be pruned back, a job that required wearing gloves (and that is not a Gypsy Rose Lee reference). Then all those branches had to be bundled and tied, and the night before the trash truck came they had to be hauled out to the parkway...

Those jobs were not fun.
