On today's lunch menu- leftover garlic fried rice and moo shi pork. I swear the moo shi pork is ALWAYS better the day after. Well, that is true of moo shi anything, really. And it tastes a 1000 times better than it looks, I assure you. It's quite tasty but unfortunately it looks like the toxic dredgings from the bottom of a swamp. The garlic fried rice is perfectly lovely though methinks it would be improved if it had scrambly egg bits in it. Overall, I give the lunch a 9. It gets big points on the utensil front... I have, at my desk, these plastic training chopsticks with a panda on them ...I am using them now...I love it when I get to bust these things out.
My entire head is chapped...I need some sort of neck-to-scalp Blistex product, not that there is such a thing. I look truly foul. Bleccch...
It's been a while since I've droned on about TV...I think I will do that, as last night's offerings gave me a lotta fodder. Heeeeere's what I watched...
The Office-- I looooved the prank on Andy and his violent overreaction. My curiosity is piqued about the "extended scenes"on NBC.com (or is "director's cut" their official name for it??) I never really bother with those, but I may have to this week. I'd like to see a little more of the Jim-Karen chat about how Jim-bo is NOT over Pam. Good stuff...
Ugly Betty-- I had missed a coupla episodes of this show but I was glad to return to it and see that Salma Hayak was off. I HATED her character. Last night's episode was laugh-out-loud funny. The big Rebecca- Romjn- is- Daniel's- dead -brother- resurrected- &- sex- changed twist at the end (sorry, guess I shoulda proceded that with "spoiler alert" in bold caps somewhere) was hokey...they were showing their insane telenovella roots there. I don't know how I'm going to like that turn of the plot. I usually don't enjoy watching Rebecca Romjn in anything, except maybe in XMen movies where her skin's all blue. I think it's this intense, longstanding emotional tie I have with the race of Smurf beings (la, la, la, laalaa, laaaa..) that predisposes me to favor blue-hued folk.
Grey's Anatomy-- I really enjoyed the episode but it was sooo sad. Horribly sad. Maybe it woulda been too cliched & predictable for Callie to be Georgie's consoler at the end of the episode, but that's what I was hoping for anyways. Christina should've been in with Burke, thawing at least a smidgeon since he made the first mini-concession with his indirectly informing her of his no-tremor status (via Derek). Anyways, Christina was the WORST person to have out there with him!! What does she have to offer? "Welcome to the Dead Dads Club"? Huh??? Is that supposed to be cute? Comforting? Maybe she shoulda gone all-out and presented him with a badge or something...
Men in Trees-- I sense that only a dozen or so people nationwide actually tune in regularly for this show, so I will refrain from blathering on about it for too long. The storyline is particularly aggravating now though-- Hunky Eddie Bauer catalog model type, Jack has at last acknowledged that he's in love with Marin, and they're in this cute, twitterpated, burgeoning romance stage, BUT THEN his dippy ex returns to town (a haggard looking Justine Bateman) and so he drops M like a hot yam (or, if you prefer your metaphors on the traditional side, potato). You know, in a Blonde vs Brunette rivalry, I usually will root for the Veronica. But in this case I gotta side with poor Marin. I know the Anne Heche backstory (who doesn't) that she's very likely a mercenary heartbreaker of a faux lesbian with Margot Kidderish tendencies to boot, but NEVERTHELESS, she is very engaging in this show.
