Five Things That are Making Me Happy

1. The Middleman: The Collected Series Indespensability finally arrived!

2. This video:

Watched "The Flying Fish Zombification" last night. Matt Keeslar's face! I love it.

3. Lily and Marshall on How I Met Your Mother.

4. Pushing Daisies coming back for season two! "I make pies and wake the dead."

( Yea! )

And released on DVD!

5. Not having to get up at 5:30 in the morning to sit for eight hours selling peaches. Yea, sleep!

Medical Mysteries and Mounties

Peter and Walter are the best parts of Fringe so far.

During the opener, all I could think was, "Wow, it's just like an episode of House." Leading to the realization that House is just like any of the crime procedurals I watch but with wacky diseases causing chaos instead of nutjob criminals. Not that "realization" is quite the right word, since it's not like I didn't know this before. It was just more of an active thought.

( Anyway, I had a feeling... )

And House is back. Yea! The patient of the week reminded me a lot of Maggie Gyllenhaal. ( And that scene between House and Wilson? )

Meanwhile, after Mom and I finished Slings & Arrows a couple of weeks ago we decided that we needed more Paul Gross and bought the complete series of Due South. The show came out in '93! When I was nine. This makes me feel really young and kind of lame and that's completely backwards from how it's supposed to work, isn't it? But I remember watching it with Mom when it first aired and completely loving it. I don't think any of my friends who are my age have ever even heard of it, which makes me kind of sad.

But tonight we watched the pilot and I'm really excited to watch more. To see which details I remember and which I completely forgot. It's like discovering a new show but with the special bonus of already loving the characters.
