So, I’ve gotten a little feedback (no thanks to the useless comment system on BlogEngine), and here is my updated list, in the order in which I plan to attack them.  Oz was my addition.  Can’t believe I missed it the first time through.

• Dexter (Finished season 1.  Took a while to grab me, but it finally did)
• Weeds
• The Wire
• The Sopranos (I’ve seen season 1)
• Oz
• Californication
• Hung
• True Blood
• Battlestar Galactica (got some negative feedback, but I’ve heard too many good things.)
• Deadwood (I’ve seen at least season 1.  I can’t remember.  Might just start over)
• Six Feet Under

Maybes:

• Alias
• Freaks and Geeks
• Big Love
• In Treatment

I have never seen any real value in subscribing to HBO or Showtime, especially since I have Netflix.  However, over the years I’ve gotten way behind in watching the various shows I’ve been told are a must see.  So, one of my resolutions for the year is to catch up on all of that must see TV.  Below is the list of shows I have yet to see.  I’ve got a LOT of TV watching ahead of me.

• Weeds
• The Sopranos (I’ve seen season 1)
• True Blood
• Dexter
• The Wire
• Battlestar Galactica
• Deadwood (I’ve seen at least season 1.  I can’t remember.  Might just start over)
• Six Feet Under

Maybes:

• Alias
• Freaks and Geeks
• Big Love
• In Treatment

Did I miss anything?

ROFL  I’ve barely been able to stop laughing long enough to post this.  The Global Times reports that a shopping center in China will soon be opening a women’s only parking lot.  Why?  Well, I’ll let them tell you:

The lot offers wider parking spaces especially designed for female drivers, who tend to cause twice as many collisions in parking lots than in other places, according to insurance company data.

The shopping center parking lot also provides three lights in every parking space to improve visibility for female drivers.

They are even training special parking attendants to help guide everyone around.

The fact that I couldn’t rally anyone to go see this with me turned out to be a blessing in disguise.  I scored a single front row seat last minute (for half price, no less) for the performance last night, and it was a blast!  I wish I could see it again!

Matt Tiabbi’s new article in Rolling Stone just makes me want to puke.  How on earth is this kind of shit possible in my country?

I can’t even excerpt the article here like I normally would.  You just have to read the whole thing.  And be prepared to be VERY angry.

Well, they say you learn something every day, and I did today.  Costco.com is open to the general public.  You do not need a membership to order from their web site.  Who knew?

Bonnie is still being a bit of a grump about the new family addition, but so far so good.

So, after working for over a year to adopt a brother for Bonnie, it’s finally happening!  And honestly, I had basically given up!

But last week the BRAT rep who did my home visit many moons ago contacted me about Jordan, a 2 year old male looking for a good home.  I went to visit him on Saturday, and he’s absolutely adorable. 

The only real issue is that he’s completely deaf, which promises to be a bit of a challenge, but what the heck.  There were a few people interested ahead of me, but the BRAT folks though it would be best for him to be with another dog, given his disability

Anyway, the approval came through today, and I pick Jordan up on Thursday!  I’m now the proud papa of a special needs pooch!  (I wonder if there is any government money to which I’m entitled.  :-)

It’s an antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory, etc.  Why they keep prescribing statins is beyond me.
