Back again

So I failed at NaBloPoMo. *sigh* Unfortunately, being away for Thanksgiving just didn't give me time to write. Oh well, it got me engaged in the blog anyway.

Interesting development at work last week. One of the ladies I work with now has a security detail. Apparently, she took out a restraining order against a guy some time ago and now he's out of jail. So the company's providing her security. Makes me feel safer.

The guy's got a few screw loose or something. He hasn't hurt anybody yet, but he's definitely stalking her. He thinks they're involved. It reminds me of an episode of Angel where this crazy guy (he can detach his own arms and legs and everything, which makes him hard for the police to trace) who thinks he's married to the lady he only dated once or twice.

I expect this guy could get more dangerous. I haven't seen him yet, which is probably a good sign. Now all we have to do is hope he doesn't come around or the security detail is good enough. My plan if I meet him: "Oh Linda, she moved to Iowa." (Not the best, but there you have it.)

Family Guy

If you asked me whether I'd like a show which has all of Family Guy's attributes, I'd probably say no.

But the show itself? Yes.

I think it's that you can tell they're not taking themselves seriously either. Sometimes they just plain don't like a person--like Liza Minelli. But more often, they find some situation or person potentially humorous and just run with it.

It'd be offensive except--there's something in the way they do it. For now I'm going to go with their lack of respect even for themselves. Maybe someone else can come up with a better reason?

To watch Numb3rs or not to watch Numb3rs--that is the question!

I really enjoy the show Numb3rs. Well, I'm a sucker for most CBS crime dramas. All 3 CSIs and NCIS. I suppose Numb3rs is the only different one because they're not actually crime scene investigators (I know NCIS isn't technically, but they show is essentially Naval CSI).

It's fun to see the mystery get solved. To see if you can figure out who did it. I actually have a theory that the CSIs are like the epistolary novels of our time. Epistolary novels were some of the earliest novels and were made up letters, either all from one person to another or from several people to several people.

Anyway, they were pretty episodic--like one of the earliest, Pamela, which pretty much consisted of "He tried to seduce me again." "Now I think he tried to rape me." "Why isn't anyone coming to get me out of this F***** place." No seriously. It's a depressing book. The weird part is that it ends with "I think I like him." "Hmm, how about that, I'm going to marry him, he's not so bad."

Excuse the digression.

The point of the post is whether or not I should stay up for Numb3rs because I'm exhausted but it's also already 9:42 (I had a bunch of stuff to take care of) so I might as well stay up 'till it finishes at 11? Maybe I should ask DH.
