Here I Am

Today was a blur of errands, cleaning, and piles of laundry. I wish there was a way for me to just blink laundry clean. That would be lovely. At least, it's not as bad as it used to be when I lived in the apartment complex. Then I had to haul the laundry down a flight of stairs and the people I shared washers/dryers with would leave clothes in the washer or dryer all damn day. It's much nicer having my own in the house.

My dvr recorded the first four parts of The War by Ken Burns and I'm currently watching the first part as I type this. I do like what one of the many veteran's said about how WW II has been thought of. It goes something like, "There is no such thing as a good war, but it seemed like a necessary war." And it shows how the war affected everyone in the USA, not just those fighting overseas. Everyone made sacrifices and gave toward the cause. And I can't help but think about the current war as I watch this. How I wonder what our troops are thinking now as they put their lives constantly on the line...because Iraq has never been a necessary war. And I wonder if maybe our troops would be home by now if more Americans had to face what was going on all day, every day.

I highly recommend you check out this special if you can at some point. Maybe wait and get it on dvd so you can take it in parts. Because it's long.

On a completely different side, I'm slowly getting through the fall tv and picking out what I think I'll watch. But really, tonight Dexter and Brothers & Sisters premieres. I miss Dexter and his crazy killing ways and the finale of season one was so upsetting. Who knew I would mourn for serial killers?

Of the new shows...

Shows I Loved: Chuck, Reaper, Dirty Sexy Money
Shows That Were Okay & Maybe I'll Watch: Big Shots, Journeyman, Gossip Girl, Bionic Woman
Shows I Hated: Back To You, Cane, The Big Bang Theory
Shows I Haven't Watched Yet: Moonlight, Private Practice, Life

I really do watch far too much television. I have a sickness. And it's not helped by my discovery of Numb3rs this past week. I got the first disc of season one and loved it and had to buy it. Me and my brothers who love each other thing continues...
