Well, just got done reading Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A Heinlein. I really liked the book. It's a science fiction book, but it's really light on the science fiction, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to try out science fiction, but doesn't want anything TOO sci-fi. The book "is the story of Valentine Michael Smith, born during, and the only survivor of, the first manned mission to Mars. Michael is raised by Martians, and he arrives on Earth as a true innocent: he has never seen a woman and has no knowledge of Earth's cultures or religions." It's interesting to see Heinlein weave the story of Michael's adjustment to earth, our society and customs. Read it!

I had myself a less than adequate McDonald's Peanut Butter Cup McFlurry today. VERY disappointing. Something I also realized today, was that about 75% of my posts have to do with food. *oink* *oink* How I love food!

The new TV season is upon us. I don't know if I'll have the time or attention span to catch any of the new shows out there, it's the returning shows that I'm interested in. My top shows for this season are Friends, CSI, Will & Grace, Buffy, Smallville, Angel, and Law and Order. And John Doe is the only new show that I'm excited about watching - the season premiere was definitely entertaining, and I admit I'm a little hooked. And contrary to popular belief, it's not that ass shot in the first episode that sealed the deal. But it did help! I still get so surprised seeing butts on TV. I might also try checking out Push, Nevada sometime. I've heard that show was pretty good, too.

As for the Buffy premiere, I was left with more questions than answers. I think Joss Whedon is back in good form. Looks like it's going to be a great season for that show. There are so many possibilities that could have come out of last nights premiere - Buffy as a counselor? Spike with his soul back? Xander in a tie? Mind-blowing. Definitely. And anyone have any ideas about the first 10 minutes in Istanbul?

Smallville was good, too. Clark is such a thick-headed dope, but you gotta love that hunka-man-of-steel.

Did anyone hear about Randy Moss running over a traffic cop? What's up with that? And the Vikings are letting him start this weekend. Grr. He didn't seem remorseful at all. They were also showing a clip of him running away from reporters, and running over a camera-woman. I just had to laugh.

Tonight, I clean my room. Wish me luck. For those of you that know me, you know that I'll need it!

I don't think I mentioned this before, but there are a couple new pictures in my picture page. Just click on the link on the left.
