Thanksgiving recaps

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I haven't posted for awhile so here's a quick recap.

After complaining about work being boring for the first part of the semester, it has been crazy busy the last few weeks! I feel uninformed because I haven't been able to do my daily internet reading of the major newspapers. Whenever I do read something, however, it seems to be depressing. The world really sucks lately.

The Patriots are looking pretty good. I'm impressed that they've managed to compete with so many key players injured. I'm still hoping for the return of Lamont Jordan though. He looked good in those first few games and we could use a running back upgrade. I still have faith that we can make the playoffs as a wildcard if we can't catch up with the Jets. Frankly the defense is worrying me much more than Cassel and the offense. They really need to make some key stops.

I saw Legally Blonde with Nicki. I'm glad I went for free. The performances were fine (although not spectacular), but the show itself did not interest me at all. I did enjoy the movie, but the plot and character development was too nonexistent in this version and the music and lyrics were unmemorable.

I'm mad at ABC for canceling Pushing Daisies. It seems like the major networks are killing all the original programs to make room for more horrible reality shows or fifty more cop/medical drama spin-offs. I'm also annoyed that Dollhouse is going to air at the same time as Lost on Wednesday nights. That's going to take away a bunch of sci-fi viewers. That's not a good idea for a new show. I hope it will be awesome enough to overcome that.

In other random news, I stopped watching the Office and I haven't missed it at all! I haven't found it very funny or interesting for awhile and I was feeling obligated to watch it instead of excited to watch it. I only laughed a few times each episode. Now, I'm enjoying Ugly Betty instead.

I almost stopped watching Fringe too, but I'm still giving that a chance because I enjoy John Noble's character. I wish they had less gore in the episodes though. As everyone knows, I don't enjoy watching gross things. : )
