Books and TV
Feb. 8th, 2009 11:52 pmI realized all the TV shows left on my list are already finished/canceled shows (The L Word is ending this season, yes?), so I can catch up to them whenever. I'm going to tackle the books I've been aiming to read instead, starting tomorrow. Get some of those IQ points back, then I'll go back to the shows and finally finish them.
There's a few audiobooks around the house that seem interesting too (I plan on "reading" Coraline before I see the movie). I don't know how I'm going to balance those with my podcasts yet, but I want to get those in as well. Looking at the pile right now, there's 35 books composed of nine trade graphic novels, four non-fiction/memoirs/comedy essays, and a bunch of different genres of fiction. I figure I can do about three in a week, depending on my classwork and ability to find a seat on the bus if I have a hunker of a book with me.
And I just realized there's at least four social networks for bookworms (Goodreads, LibraryThing, Shelfari and that... dark-interactive library one I can't recall the name of)? Looking at the "take the tour" link makes them all look so intriguing. But I'm not planning on joining any unless anyone has really good things to say about them.
That was a lot of nothing. Here's a list of things that made my weekend:
Shake that Bunny
Gauis Frakking Baltar!
Uncle Phil Shredder
Barack Obama's Punch Out
You Rock, Rock
Schnitzel & Mercury have a conversation
Barrell roll
It was a totally productive weekend, what are you talking about? (XKCD also knows me way too well)
Okay, okay. TV reviews.
( Big Love )
( Brothers & Sisters )
When new cable TV shows come back from hiatus I tend to forget they're on, if they're not Psych. So I still haven't watched Burn Notice, and I doubt I'll get to it before the next episode. Hardly anyone here watches it or reviews it so it shouldn't be a problem, but FYI, in case. Not like I'd mind knowing if anything amazing happened ahead of time, anyway.
