Grass and Sky

Yesterday was such a write-off. I was in bed well before nine pm. Today I decided to take a day off. I slept in until nearly noon and then spent the rest of the day snuggled up on the sofa watching dvds with Zoe. Half the time she was on the sofa with me, the other half she was scratching the tv. She's even more enthusiastic about that than Mal is.

I watched lots and lots of Friday Night Lights. I've now finished the first season. I've loved Kyle Chandler since his Homefront days and he continues to be awesome here. The show itself is interesting. Every now and then it gets a little bit bogged down in soapy teenage melodrama, and I hate that nearly all the 'teenagers' are played by actors in their mid-twenties. That is, actually, the main reason I can't watch Smallville ever again. Too many grown-ups being fairly unconvincing as kids. It bugs me here, as well, but I've managed to overlook it for the most part.

I also watched Destiny of the Daleks, which is the first serial to feature Lalla Ward as Romana. The Dalek episodes are never my favorites, but I liked this one well enough. It had enough other stuff going on that the Daleks were less bothersome. And it had Davros, who never ceases to be amusing.

I was hoping to avoid any more trips to the vet in the near future, but Zoe has a bit of swelling around her little kitty nipples. It doesn't seem to be bothering her, but it's probably not a good thing, so off to the vet we will go, first thing Saturday morning. Oh yay! At least I can get her the distemper booster she's due for, while we're there.
