But I'm not quite ready to give up on it just yet. I have time invested in the show as well as the book, so I'll tough it out for a bit.<br /><br />On a side note though, Trauma as caught my eye. I picked it up on Hulu and like it so far. It's a bit formulaic at times, but I'm digging the characters so far. The same goes for Mercy, just not as much.Neil Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023957663164567385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14005586.post-15490907384554606012009-10-13T18:51:22.796-04:002009-10-13T18:51:22.796-04:00How are you feeling about FlashForward.

As for future seasons of either show, it's up to Hulu to put them out there. Right now they only have 1-3 of Buffy and 1 of Angel so I'm stuck in a holding pattern until they get some new stuff out there.Neil Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023957663164567385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14005586.post-14426529389937545042009-10-02T18:43:39.075-04:002009-10-02T18:43:39.075-04:00I see you're wading through old Buffy and Ange...I see you're wading through old Buffy and Angel on Hulu. A word of advice, Angel is pretty off for several of those seasons (including season one, which you got through, so that's a good sign) but make sure to hang in there because I think Season 5 is pretty brilliant...by far the best (and you'll appreciate it more if you sit through all of it ;) Good luck!1979 semi-finalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310546229222082140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14005586.post-51365160371359323782009-09-28T12:58:33.498-04:002009-09-28T12:58:33.498-04:00Amanda (the normal one with no frog umbrella) - Gl...Amanda (the normal one with no frog umbrella) - Glad to see you're alive and well (and reading my blog of course). Yes, Monk is freakishly like me (or vice versa). What's odd is I don't remember the towel you're talking about, mostly the shoes under my bed. I still have a hard time if they're not straight and organized. Hmmm, maybe I should do a post about my own Monkisms.....Neil Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023957663164567385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14005586.post-38735198453880728832009-09-28T11:11:51.624-04:002009-09-28T11:11:51.624-04:00Oh Neil....when I read your comment about you bein...Oh Neil....when I read your comment about you being Monk---well let's just say I haven't laughed that much in awhile... :) It never dawned on me until you said that but then immediately I was reminded of a certain towel was placed on top of the light that hung above your dresser mirror.....You made my day. :) -Amanda (and again, not the scary frog umbrella amanda)Amanda77https://www.blogger.com/profile/07783563422976989469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14005586.post-37024944941811254052009-09-28T09:18:50.568-04:002009-09-28T09:18:50.568-04:00Jules - Yes, I know, it doesn't leave much tim...Jules - Yes, I know, it doesn't leave much time to read, eat, sleep, and all those other things essential to life.<br /><br />As for The Sword of the Lady, um, I've already read it and reviewed it here (http://librarydad.blogspot.com/2009/08/sword-of-lady-by-s-m-stirling-review.html).

My MIL went to an author reading in SoCal and had a copy signed for me. Brought a tear to my eye, it did.<br /><br />I started it today, I'm on page 167 (a lazy day today) and it's just as good as the other books, although for me, DIES THE FIRE, will always be the best in the series. <br /><br />Evidently SM Stirling has nine books planned for this series.

Th...Kelly - I have mixed emotions about J&K+8. There are times when I call John a d-bag and other times when I call Kate a word that rhymes with witch. But in the end, I'm continuing to watch it because I want to support them in their effort to show how a couple goes through divorce. Growing up with divorced parents, I have certain feelings (some contrary to the norm of society) about divorce.<br /><br />Hulu is awesome, but then again, I sit in front of my computer for 9 hours a day (more during season) so it helps ease the pain in my arse.<br /><br />30 Rock and The Office, well, I just never got into them. I think part of it is that I'm not big into comedy right now, but Community may turn that around. You'll notice my list is pretty heavy on drama and action. And besides, how do you compete with Monk? He is me (or I'm him) and I love to laugh at myself.Neil Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023957663164567385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14005586.post-44959341704909632012009-09-23T11:13:45.671-04:002009-09-23T11:13:45.671-04:00You're right...you do have a lot on your plate...You're right...you do have a lot on your plate.<br /><br />I used to watch Jon and Kate - and loved it...but I can't handle it now. Not when I've seen what's sort of really going on. I also want that show to end so those kids maybe get some peace, so I'm trying not to support it. I understand why you watch though - anyone who complains probably hasn't seen it.<br /><br />I am really not good at the whole watching tv at my computer thing. I think I spend so much time at my computer already that watching tv there just kills me. I try to avoid it at all costs.<br /><br />I'm surprised there's no 30 Rock or The Office on here...?<br /><br />Wipeout and its big balls is hilarious. It's not appointment TV for me, but whenever I catch it I'm glad I did!1979 semi-finalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310546229222082140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14005586.post-13843060253471605062009-09-23T09:15:02.922-04:002009-09-23T09:15:02.922-04:00You're in luck.

I'm sure the rest you can catch on ABC's site. As for Castle, there's only one huge story-arc you'll miss if you watch them out of order. Aside from that, it's easy to catch an episode here and there and not get lost.Neil Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023957663164567385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14005586.post-988629990104165502009-09-22T22:48:51.431-04:002009-09-22T22:48:51.431-04:00I'm looking forward to FlashFoward and I reall...I'm looking forward to FlashFoward and I really feel badly that I missed Defying Gravity....I jumped on the Castle bandwagon late and am sorry I did.
