lazy monday
So the great mid-western plague has struck me down.  All I want to do is lie on the floor, drink cold liquids, and be entertained.  Luckily for me, I get to do just that!  At least for one more day, before work drags me back under. 

Caught up on the last two episodes of Dollhouse.  I am still enjoying it, though less for plotting, and more for the characters.  I like how all the people at the Dollhouse are individuals with their own opinions and wants; that it's not a seamless corporate face.  I also generally like the casting choices.  The show continues to entertain, even though the premise is iffy at best.  If you have all the money it costs to rent a doll, why not just hire an expert in the field?  Privacy concerns only go so far.  But that's the premise and I accept it.

Also caught up on Lie to Me.  I'm ridiculously fond of that show. 

But the best entertainment?  My friend l_prieto was kind enough to send me her novella, Cooking with Ergot.  It's great fun, full of sexy guys--witches and witch hunters, crazy relatives, just plain nosy relatives, and a talking stuffed tiger familiar witha  yen for grilled cheeses.  And then there are the recipes.  (none of them with ergot, so breathe). 

It's available at Aspen Mtn Press if it sounds like your cup of tea.
