So, not much exciting to report, but I wanted to take a moment and commend to you mac & cheese. Both the tasty lunchtime food (though I must admit, it always seems to come out better when MLW makes it... I can't tell if I'm actually doing something wrong, or to paraphrase the wisdom of a former coworker, E.House-a-la-Francais, "The best meal you can have is one that somebody else makes for you...") and the episode of the same title of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. Excellent and quite funny Cartoon Network show you may have heard me blather on about in these pages before...
I think I've also recommended a new British import -- Hustle, appearing in the US on AMC. Very well done. And who doesn't enjoy con artists, really. Really good stuff. Trust me; I know TV.
Finally, just a self-centered plug for the Robot Doom blog, which has really taken off, now that I'm not the only one posting. Read, enjoy, and be forewarned.
Oh, and I came across a quote that seemed to aptly describe what I alluded to the other day:
"Remember that as a teenager you are at the last stage of your life when you will be happy to hear that the phone is for you." - Fran Lebowitz
More to come...

My other comment for you, JAM, is that I also love Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, ...but I see it when I'm babysitting my 6yr old nephew. How did you start watching it? :)
Well, one of the "advantages" to being unemployed is that you have the option of watching daytime television. Unsurprisingly, daytime television has not gotten better since the last time I had significant opportuniy to check it out (circa 1996).
Since I was in the habit of eating lunch around 2-ish while working, I didn't really adjust that while I was home. And since eating lunch is about the only time during the day I allow myself to "not be doing something" (from my "To Do" list), I naturally flipped over to the Cartoon Network. I'd seen bits of Foster's before, but it always seemed odd. It wasn't until I watched an entire episode ("The Trouble with Scribbles") that I saw the true genius of the work.
