Monday 11/27/06 He Said - She Said ...

Last night Monday night TV was really good.

This didn’t go up till today. I didn’t want anyone to miss it.

How I Met Your Mother – Wayne Brady guest stars as, wait for it…. Barney’s brother. They are not brother’s from another mother, they are brothers from the same mother, who in the flashbacks wasn’t the best role model. It explains a bit why Barney is how he is. Wayne Brady is actually Barney’s gay brother and the episode was hilarious. This show gets better and better. I loved the dynamic of the two of them on screen as brothers. Then Barney becomes an uncle because his brother, the gay version of Barney has come out as… Monogamous. 

This crushes Barney’s world, he has nothing against gay marriage, he is against marriage in general. His quip about if the gays begin to marry than the straight people will follow the trend and marry too and spread their monogamy everywhere. It was very funny. The most priceless was when Barney’s brother and Barney were arguing and Barney’s brother said there is going to be a baby. The way Barney’s defenses were shattered was fantastic. The flash forward to the wedding and the baby in the suit was great too. And Marshall’s love for fruity drinks was classic.

How I Met Your Mother – It was a great episode. I loved the discussion about the differences between singles and couples in a club/bar. I thought I was an old fuddy-duddy because I was getting old, apparently it’s because I’m part of a couple. Who knew? Once again I say it … This show is… wait for it… Awesome! So, Suit up!

The Class – More interaction among the cast, that was very good. A happy ending for Richie and Lina, also good. Some hope for Nicole and Duncan again good. And Ethan’s tentative arm on Kat and quickly removing it was great. They are really going to work that storyline for a while. I liked the episode a lot.

The Class – Great episode. I think Richie is too cute! And the scenes with Ethan and Kyle and Holly when Kyle was relaying messages between the two – it was too funny!

Heroes – Rewind 6 months. We learn so much about how things happened. How Nathan’s wife ended up in a wheelchair, who Sylar is and how he got started, Why Eden works for Claire’s father, what happened to Hiro, A little of Matt, Who Jessica was, that is a more and more interesting power of Nikki’s. I learned last night that DL used to be on Buffy, he was one of The Initiative.

Heroes – This was a good episode. The promise of learning who Sylar is was a bit of a let down – we really didn’t learn a lot about him or why he is killing those with special abilities.

CSI Miami – Caine stands at oblique angles. He does it some more, and he does it a little more. He overuses one’s name again and again. I pretty much forgot what the episode was about. Yes, I remember now, it was about a soldier killed in Iraq, accidentally, but then deliberately covered up by the man who shot him. When are people going to realize that Caine will find the truth. He had some line last night that he likes to use over and over but I forgot it. I’m sure he will say it again next week.

CSI Miami – Well, it wouldn’t be much of a show if people just confessed when they saw Caine come into the investigation, now would it, Drew?? Geez!
 
Seriously though, I like this show. Drew and I have a blast making fun of Caine’s little idiosyncrasies – like standing at funny angles, looking anywhere BUT at the person he is addressing, using people’s names like they might not know he is talking to them. It’s fun.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
