Miss Hiss

Cat Pictures

Let it be known - despite taking a photography course in college, I still suck at taking pictures. (Turns out I have no patience. And the inability to keep the camera steady.) So the following pictures may be a bit fuzzy, but they're of Miss Hiss (one of my mother's cats). She's a fat and sassy cat. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a good shot of her walking away from me. This is important because she has such a fuzzy butt that my grandmother has declared that she has pantaloons.

Fannish Revelations

Fannish Revelations

Heroes: This show lost me on the season premiere. I loved all of last season. I even loved the finale. This season started out completely wrong for me and I've not even seen much of the last two episodes.

Supernatural: The season opener wasn't what I hoped it would be. (Episode two, however, was made of win and made everything better.)

How I Met Your Mother: Another one where the season opener fell kind of flat and where the second ep made up for that fact. Recapping sucks. Stand alones are awe...wait for it...

Chuck: The blonde is starting to bore me. I almost wish there wasn't a "romantic" angle, because it would make her more fun. (Unless she was being romantic with Casey, which *would* make it better, because I much prefer violent foreplay to the fact that she could break Chuck's neck if she wanted to.)

Reaper: While I love the show, it needs more variety. Less of Sam whining each week about the circumstances and more freaky stuff to fight. (Kind of want the dust buster back too.) Sock continues to be made of win, but he can't carry the show without better plot for his one liners.

America's Next Top Model: I can't figure out if this is a good season or more evidence that Tyra is on drugs. Not messing with Heather's look - good. The hair they gave Saleisha, though, was definitely crack inducing. Not because it didn't make her edgy (it did), but because they didn't seem to consider basic things like lighting when it came to that hair. You couldn't see her eyes under the bangs in the photo! Not to mention that Lisa's hair is just all kinds of wrong. Like Lyle Lovett and Halle Berry's love child.

America's Most Smartest Model: Mandi Lynn rules and I'm actively rooting for her to win. Just because of the inevitable makeover that will improve her looks. Hopefully including someone taking a needle to her lips to remove some of that silicone.

CSI: Will someone please make Janet 2.0 disappear, or at least become Peter 2.0?* Chick is too dang chatty.

Survivor: I know I'm supposed to respect Todd's game play, but he annoys me. Amanda is okay, but she hasn't done much. And James is so many kinds of awesome, but the fact that he even bonded with Jean Robbert a little bit is annoying. And Courtney hasn't been obliterated by wind yet. Can someone please wipe out the other team so the season can really get going already?

Women's Murder Club: Anything with James Patterson's name attached will get me to watch. However, I don't like Rob Estes (as an actor or his character), I know I'm supposed to empathize with the blonde and how much passion she has with the dick, but it's just annoying when she has a nice guy, and I keep wondering why the one woman who's black automatically gets the obviously perfect life with husband and kids and she'll be the voice of reason in every episode. (I would have had the same cast but switched them around. Angie Harmon as the reporter, coroner chick over to the cop, blonde stays the same, have the chirpy reporter be the medical examiner.)

Ugly Betty: I enjoy various aspects of the show, but the best part to me is when Betty is really fighting with Daniel's worst instincts, punctuated by periods of peace. When they're completely of the same mind, they kind of get boring. Unless Wilhelmina is up to something in that ep that causes a uniting of forces.

* Cosby Show reference. Janet was Vanessa's friend and talked too much. Peter was Rudy's friend and never talked at all.
