Stuff n' Things

I haven't been posting much lately.

"Let me explain--no, there is too much. Let me sum up."

I've had little to say, and less energy to post it. I've got this nasty little cold that doesn't make you feel bad, really, just a mild headache and a tickle in my throat. No, the real sting is that this cold just sucks the life out of you. I feel like Lucy Westenra after the Count's first couple of midnight visits. And like Lucy, I rallied over the last couple of days and thought I was in the clear, only to get the stuffing kicked out of me again today. I'm tired and my reserves when I go ahead and tough it out are nearly nonexistent. It takes very little to leave me feeling exhausted.

Coach Potato TV Reviews
Wonderfalls - A wonderful show. snippy and I watched the premiere and found it highly entertaining. Quirky, surprising and almost certainly doomed to early cancellation because it's on FOX on Friday night and it isn't some inane, lowbrow reality show. Fox has managed to send countless interesting shows to an early grave and I suspect that Wonderfalls will be the next.

Stargate: SG-1 - After losing interest and missing most of last season and the first part of this season, I've regained my interest in this show. ( Fan geekery follows )

Those Who Stalk The Night - This novel by Barbara Hambly concerns Professor Asher, a lecturer (and former government spy) at New College in 1907 Britain. He discovers that vampires are all too real when they coerce him into helping them discover who is stalking and killing the city's vampires. It's a great novel from 1995, and it reminded me of why I once enjoyed her writing so much. Alas, her last few offerings have left me cold, and I've stopped buying them. I'm not sure if my tastes have changed, her writing has changed, or both--though probably it's a little of both. Now I need to dig up the sequel, Traveling with the Dead in a used book store somewhere.

Hmmm....that's all for now.
