A few random thoughts.

offbalanceSo last night, I watched the respective season finales of both Bones and NCIS. Now, I was extremely pleased with Bones, but I'll stand by previous statements made about NCIS: No Gibbs, no watchy. If he's not back by the end of the season premiere, I'm done. But what a good episode! So wrenching. I especially loved his previous supervisor, Mr. ShouldabeenTomSkerrit-Kristofferclone. It was a trip hearing Gibbs being called Probee. And all of the stuff with Zivah and Jen actually made me like them, which was equally surprising.
As for Bones - wow. And dude, and holy shit. Also, I am really excited about next season now. Really excited. And, I seriously think that they should submit this particular episode for award consideration, particularly for ED, who really showed what a terrific actress she is in this episode.
I think I know why movies have been sucking lately - all the good writers work in TV.
Speaking of good writing, I just started a book written by someone I actually know, and I'm really liking it. The New York Public Library informed me that Ned Vizzini's It's kind of a Funny Story was ready for me yesterday, and it's really compelling so far. It was a definite bright spot at the end of a really bad day. Moreso than Arthur & George, which bored me to tears when it wasn't annoying the holy hell out of me (seriously? It was a similar idea as The Hours, but not nearly as interesting ). So back to the library it went. I've also been informed that my copy of The Chinatown Death Cloud Peril is ready, which is very exciting. I'll have to swing by the Brooklyn Public Library to pick that up next week, I should be done with Ned's book by then, I've been burning through it.
There's more - much more- to discuss later, but I'll do that,you know, later.

1. How many places have you lived in your life?
Including different dorms in college, 5.
2. Which was your favorite and why and what street was it on?
Kind of partial to the house I grew up in, on Kimball Street
3. If you could live anywhere for the rest of your life, where would it be?
In this city, somewhere.
4. What would your ideal home have in it?
A living room that can accommodate a decent-sized party, a kitchen that encourages people to hang out while you're cooking, and a bedroom that's large enough for all of my crap. And a bathroom with a large tub.
(that's the modest ideal. As for the mental picture of my intended estate, Wit's End, well, that involves waay too much description.)
5. Can you describe your current crib?
A large, lovely, but terminally messy Victorian-ish 3-bedroom overlooking Prospect Park.
