Today? Poppy and I spent the entire day by ourselves in the apartment and? It was glorious.  GLORIOUS.  I didn't have to watch the fracking Discovery Channel.  I didn't have to listen to video game noise.  I didn't have to listen to extensive conversations about video games.  I didn't have to keep the conversation light and fluffy.  I didn't have to worry about whether or not anybody else was happy, hungry, entertained or bored.  Instead, I sat on the couch all day and watched some Season 2 Grey's Anatomy on DVD while I got caught up on work. GLORIOUS.  I even took a tiny tiny nap.  JUST BECAUSE I COULD.

So.  The new television season is slowly starting.  Most of the shows I like are starting next week, but I did catch tonight's episodes of House and Fringe.

I've never been a follower of House but I like my main characters curmudgeounous and bad-ass, so I've been giving the show a whirl on Netflix DVD and I honestly really like it.  I have absolutely no idea what is happening in the character arcs, and the House Underling with H….soemthing bad I can't remember (this name totally made it sound like she's a diseased part of his genitalia) was really irritating, but I do like Hugh Laurie.  I think the show just might be a keeper.

I did like Fringe a lot.  I didn't catch the premeire, and watched this episode mainly for the Joshua Jackson factor (seriously! Pacey in Prime Time again! How can you not watch?).  It was interesting–it felt a lot like Bones meets X-Files and the part where the eyeball was cut out of the person's head and propped up on a stand so it could be attached to the camera? That was gross.  Also, could that camera thing really happen or did the writer's just need a convenient plot driving device?  I'll probably keep watching this show just because its on after House and I won't have to change the channel.  Of course, I can't remember what the other networks will be playing at the same time so we'll see how I feel next week.
