Thursday nights have become the time for me to do a bit of a brain-dump. Last night, I accidentally slept through the Teatro Chicana event, and I skipped ballroom practice. Why learn basic swing when I could sit around and clear out the TiVo with SuperK? (I know I should work on my fundamentals and technique, but the impulse to advance or try teaching can be too much of a temptation.)
I love our DVR. I am never around for the first airings, and I prefer watching my shows at odd hours as a stretch break from my reading. And Thursday nights in particular are a great chance to catch up and clean out the DVR.
House: What an interesting episode! Crazy diagnosis and we learn about House and Wilson's relationship. This show never fails to grab my interest. Maybe the delving into the personal is just trendy, since the new SVU was also really good. Watching Hugh Laurie or Christopher Meloni work can give me goosebumps. Their eye-candy-ness doesn't hurt either.
Grey's Anatomy: I feel dirty for liking this show in the first place, but it does work as a great mind-dump. It's great to see less and less of Cry-Face Meredith. And in case I didn't love George enough, the scene with him bodily snatching the kid out of the gruesome surgery and connecting, was precious and brilliant. 2nd fave - him getting all bad-ass on the whiny girls.
Project Runway: Actually, we watched this live, but I re-watched it last night. Kenley continues to drive me crazy, and her collection was chaotic. I will say that I covet her mandarin collar beige silk dress with flowers. But when Leann's collection came along, I was just blown away. Sublime! Cohesive, flawlessly executed and styled, obviously Leann. Probably the best final runway show I've seen. If she didn't win, I would have given up Project Runway altogether. Korto's collection was interesting and innovative, but I didn't love some of the looks and th imperfect color palatte.
Also on the DVR - When Weather Changes History - the Chicago Fire. Yeah history+science+Chicago!
But now that it's Friday, I need to run errands and start my African Theater reading.
