So Theo is pretty much flunking out of puppy school. And really, how embarrassing that you are sort of judged on a weekly basis on how well your puppy obeys you. We all know this is more equal to the amount ofchicken you have in your pocket, versus how much attention and time you spend on the actual training through the week. And, I will admit, it doesn’t help that he is as stubborn as a …. well just damn stubborn. It makes my ears go red sometimes at how stubborn he is. And he does seem to be getting some of the training. It’s the rest that there are times when he could give a flying crap about, and that of course generally happens at puppy school. You know, the place where you can’t use the big scary human voice to get his attention… because other puppies would pee, and owners would look at you funny. Come on! This dog is a chow, and therefore stubborn and needs to know the rules of the road in a stern way. he is getting better. being grounded and all he had to get better. Or no fun time charlie and all that.

Work. Meh, moving on. Another topic.

I am uber excited to sit down in a couple hours and watch the episodes of Better off Ted that are DVR’d from yesterday. TWO episodes! Awesomeness. If you aren’t watching this show, shame on you!!! It is, without a doubt, and with unbiased enthusiasm (I almost said glee, and that show just bugs me, i don’t care that my Master Joss directed an episode, I am not watching it!!!) the funniest comedy on television right now. Seriously. No other situation (what?) comedy makes me laugh when I watch it; no not even ‘How I met your Mother’, not as often and as hard as I laugh when watching ‘Better off Ted’. And I love Aly and I love Neil, but I only laugh like once when I watch HIMyM. So it is meh. But!!! BoT? AWESOMENESS! You need to check this if you haven’t been. Like now. *shooo’s you*

I haven’t written in like 3 days and the voices and migraines are stalking me. I think they are going to get me…..

THREE DAYS UNTIL DOLLHOUSE!!!! (in case you forgot!)

What’s For Dinner?

I have no clue. We have a new agreement here at the Casa. Mare is making dinners for the unforeseeable future, as a way to help me out as I am working all day and you know, Puppy-ing. (see above) BUT! Mwah! I was stressed this afternoon, so I whipped up a loaf of roasted garlic and rosemary Italian bread. Yeah. You read that right. I did. Ha!

I hope you all had a fabulous Turkey Day, and lots of eating and celebrating was had. I ate like a queen, and watched a boatload of movies. And cried. ALOT. Damn movies! lol

Land of the Lost: Meh. It was okay. I should have waited for it to be free on HBO or something

Gran Torino: Actually pretty good. Albeit a downer.

Home at the End of the World: Good. But a downer. Sad sad sad.

Four Christmases: Not worth it. Reese looked gaunt. WTF?

Definitely, Maybe: I LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie.

Indian Jones: The Crystal Skull: Excitement every time. Though, I think I fell asleep due to the late hour, not the slow pace. *wink*

We all know Portia de Rossi is hot. And smart, and like our super female roll model. Sort of like our fairy godmother. Along with Ellen. But she is also funny as well. As we see in installments of Better Off Ted.
Season one will be available until 12/9/2009. So get over to Hulu and check it out. Better off Ted is hilarious!

 
Super Congrats go out to Joss Whedon(joss is my master) for his win of the Vanguard Award. He deserves it. as he deserves a blank check and open book when it comes to media. Give this man the room to thrive, we will all be better for it.

Urgh, MOZ was in town yesterday, and I missed it. Not that I could have gone had I been financially prepared or gotten tickets, as well, things are different now. But sniffle. I love seeing Morrissey. It’s like this strange combination of nostalgia and insanity and soul speaking all wrapped into one evening. Maybe next time.

Ooh. Got to go. Two hours are up.

If you know me, then you KNOW what today’s blog post is about…

I mean. C’mon! Dollhouse season premier, TONIGHT! Fox, 9pm. While I will be watching it at a shindig, almost a hootenanny. And DVR’ing. And you should too. And yes. You need to watch it. Because it is Eliza, because it is Joss, because Jaime will be on it (Apollo!) Seriously. What is more important tonight? Oh. that’s right. Nothing. So get thee to a TV and watch Dollhouse. And if you don’t have a TV, call me. We have a massive HD big screen now. It will be awesome. *girlie squeeee*

To get you excited:

In other news, (I know I know, how can there BE other news when we are talking about Dollhouse???!!!)

I am back from my summer’s end road trip! You wondered where I was, admit it. Well I went East! East to Spokanistan. It will get it’s own blog post on that later today!

Last night when we went out to dinner; Chinese right here on the ‘main drag’ which I love. And my fortune cookie said; “You will meet someone famous.” ZOMG. Interesting. I saw a local news caster the other day at my local QFC… and I did see Bee, who has an imdb page, on Wednesday… but I got this last night. So what does that mean?

As I pounder that, enjoy the Eliza / Dollhouse eye candy. I Am SO looking forward to this! 

Watch it. Embrace the Whedon-verse

This song used to get stuck in my head back in the day when it was played onevery TV show, and now, damn those Chase commercials for sticking it there again. Bah! Oh! Wait, I should be all allusive and say that there is that special someone out there who knows who they are and that phrase goes out to them… which, if you know me will have you chuckling right about now. Ah, good. You’re laughing, my work here is done.

Driving home from Target this morning, I saw this old man (no NOT the one in the picture) standing beside the sidewalk, in the street, arms crossed. He was totally and completely in the Grumpy Old Man mode, and it just made me smile. Not sure why, it just did.

Long week over!! Yay!

And OMG, has anyone else seen ‘John Adams’ ? I know I know, I am a season late with things on HBO / SHOW / etc. But it is so good. Good as in I cry the whole time. I mean really, I cry when I hear the national anthem, so you know I am balling watching a dramatization of the infancy of this great nation. Woo. Good.

Other good news, is this. So much promise – and not only the fact that more Whedon Alumni are going to be on TV in the fall; but also it’s always good news when creative geniuses are in a good mood, and hitting the ground running.

Big and Busy weekend! So now I must get me to bed. So Sleepy.

Moving is done. I am sticking the proverbial fork in it, and am looking forward to never ever doing it again. Ever. Hopefully that is clear enough for the universe. Now begins the process of unpacking… and in the mean time, instead of blogging about all I did in the four days I was not here (as in online) I will instead summarise the world at current.

the California supreme court did not repeal prop 8 (aka the moron Mormon money monster) and so in uber liberal California you cannot get married if you are gay. But those 18K that did get married and are gay can stay both gay and married. (its makes as little sense as that sentence)

And then we have WEIRD ass Tuesday news. Talks of remaking Buffy : the Movie, without Joss. Um. huh? WHY REMAKE the first movie????? Why not work on what would be better received, a real time in the processes after Season 8 comics which are almost done movie? Seriously. Why the F would anyone see a remake of the first movie? It is at the beginning on the cannon and SO not relevant anymore. *scratches head* I agree with the other 99.99999999999999999999999999% of the world. This is the worst idea EVER. People should not be messing with my fandom in such a willy-nilly way. Some one WILL get hurt.  We are not a group to be messed with. We still have the tee shirts, the DVDs, the tattoos, and the multiple email accounts and we are not afraid to use them. We do have an annoyingly analytical voice, and we have been known to use it, and often. (ask FOX about their crashed switchboards a couple weeks ago) Tuesday is as always Buffy Day. (and we are talking the TV series Buffy, not that other thing from 1992) Just do a google search for images, for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. When do you see the other images, on what page? Yeah. I thought so…. Again, incorporate the Master of the Whedon-verse or just let it be.

Until later, I am off to eat heartily of italian food, then rest and watch BUFFY Season Seven while wearing my Buffy shirt.
