Changes:
  • I haven’t been watching Samantha Who?, and I’m somewhat surprised. Too much stuff on Mondays, I guess. I may still start watching, though.
  • I really like Chuck and Journeyman, though I can’t help pronouncing it /ˈdʒɜrnimən/ instead of /ˈdʒɜrnimæn/.
  • Both Cavemen and Carpoolers were pretty painful to watch. I didn’t make it through an entire episode of either.
  • Our friends Brandon (is that how it’s spelled?) and Ami (is that how it’s spelled?) are recommending Reaper on Tuesday nights. I might give it a try.
  • I really like Pushing Daisies and Life.
  • Bionic Woman is on the bubble. The pilot was problematic for me, both in terms of acting and in exposition. It seems to have gotten better, but it just hasn’t grabbed me.
  • No time for Royal Canadian Air Farce, especially considering I don’t live in Canada. I was prepared to give Friday Night Lights a try, but I just haven’t gotten around to it.
  • Viva Laughlin bought the farm before we saw a single episode.

Voice mail message from Helen

Allan’s two-month checkup was this morning. Helen left me a voice mail message.

“Here are the stats. Allan weighs 14 … yes, you heard it … 14 pounds, 1 ounce. Katrina was only 11 pounds, 12 ounces at this time. So he’s in the 90 to 95th percentile, which … head size is [15 5/8] inches, the 25 to 50th percentile. And his length is 24 3/8 inches, or 90 to 95th percentile, so he’s a lot longer than Katrina was. So, anyway, I just wanted to let you know. I’ll talk to you later. Bye bye! Elena, can you say bye bye?”

“Bye bye.”
