the end of all things, or is it?

Well, today is Labor Day. The last day of freedom before school and all the responsibilities that come along with school begin. I am excited to be in school again, but at the moment, it's a bit much.

Upon eating breakfeast, or perhaps, brunch, we were discussing different TV series' that will make school year more bearable. Here is my listing of shows that, somehow I have lived withough during the summer, and if something were to happen that caused them not to reappear, life would go on, but since they are returning, I'm looking forward to them:

Ugly Betty: the consummate novella with so many loose ends
House: Are they all really leaving? If not, we'd only allow Chase to return
Dr. Who: Okay, so it's not Christopher Eccleston, but I think the new guy could grow on me
Torchwood: Never seen it, but it's a Dr. Who spin-off
Psych: Come on, who really watches the US Open anyway
Monk: see above

Wishful thinking: Maybe there will be some Midsomer Murders or Poirots that I haven't seen

Side note: I've realized that I'm biased against women detectives. I'd much rather watch Poirot than Ms. Marple, and Midsomer Murders trumps Rosemary and Thyme (though I am trying)
Is this weird? Sarah helped me realize my prejudice a couple of Sundays ago. Our Sunday evening Murder Mystery watching has dwindled, namely because we've seen every episode of Midsomer Murders that has made it to the US, as far as I can tell. She likes Rosemary and Thyme, and I really am trying. I mean, it has everything one could want - great oboe-centric background music, English countrysides, murders, and flowers. But, no Scott. tee hee.

Well, I better get.

tschusy.

I would just like to state that I watch the US Open.

Maybe you should watch the mix-gendered Inspector Lynley to help you get over your prejudice.

Stupid automated comments.
Hmm, Inspector Lynley did seem promising. It may be helpful.
And, as vanessa/om proves, some people do watch the US Open. But is it really more effective? Oh well.
