- After four hours in the office this morning, I stopped at Borders on the way home for season 10 of SG-1. My shelf is complete! (
cranberryink - Seasons 1- 4 of SG-1 are in the mail on their way to you. Enjoy!!)
- A friend at work also did some work beefing up my DVD collection when he gave me a collection of DVDs including: Dark Angel seasons 1 & 2 (!!!), Little Miss Sunshine, Notes on a Scandal, The Last King of Scotland, Kingdom of Heaven, a season of The Simpsons, a season of The L Word and a whole host of DVDs I can't remember off the top of my head. The best, though, is the Star Trek Captain's Log Fan Collective. It includes 15 episodes from all five series as voted on by the fans including "Chain of Command." THERE! ARE! FOUR! LIGHTS! So awesome.
- It's officially official that Mandy Patinkin isn't returning to Criminal Minds. I love Criminal Minds but a lot of that is thanks to Patinkin and his character's dynamic with this team. It's so disappointing to hear that he simply didn't show up on set at the start of this season. Without knowing any details beyond what EW and the internets tell me, I declare he's an ass.
- I have school next week. I'm taking a week long course at the University of Michigan as part of their Executive Education program. It's Finance for the Non-financial Manager and, OMG, it's been almost a decade since I've taken a class! I'm (mostly) looking forward to it though. I anticipate practical applications and I'm interested to meet the other people in the program. They're from all over the country and all different companies. But still. I hope it's not boring and I hope it's not stuff I already know.
- I saw Bourne last night! First, the non-spoilery bits about Bourne in general: I LOVE JASON BOURNE. He's like MacGuyver and Rambo and Danny Ocean all rolled into one but BETTER. I also love how Paul Greengrass films the movies. They're intense and suspenseful and EW's got it dead on when they write, "the movie doesn't seem to be creating the action but catching it on the fly — and the result is that hardly a moment goes by that we don't experience in the moment." ( More on Bourne Ultimatum. I use the word 'love' a lot. )
