Another day in the life...

So. I've moved back to the place Iw as sitting before. We have a new person starting on Monday and she gets my super office seat. Which is good and bad. Out here I get more privacy with what is on my screen but I get much less privacy with my phone calls. Wheeee.

My left is is... no focusing correctly. This is a bit worrisome. It has happened before and usually fixes itself but I'm... not exactly happy with the sort of half vision thing that is going on right now. Headache city is coming to me.

Also, here is my new tv season run down so far:
Fringe - Interesting enough to keep watching but not spectacular. I keep wanting something a little more from it. I think this suffers from the 'supporting characters are more interesting than the lead' situation which can become a problem. (Of course, with out that happening for Lost, I'd have stopped watching a LONG time ago because Jack and Kate are boring as all get out.)

Heroes - The speedster was cool. I'm getting tired of Hiro's need to act like a Big Damn Hero getting in the way of him doing what he does best. Which is actually BE a Big Damn Hero. Also, could we get less original with Mohinder? And a guy with Magnetic powers that the only call "The German"? (Yes, I know he's Polish but everyone associates Magneto with Germany.) C'mon guys. If you're going to use the shorthand commit to it. If not it is just lazy writing. Sylar keeps getting impossibly stronger. Nikki keeps getting more confusing and the Patrelli brothers keep getting more whiny and crazy. And every time Claire tries to become awesome someone steps on her. All in all, I'm going to keep watching but I'm sort of grumpy with it.

House: I like the new private detective guy. He adds a layer of undercutting and subtle snark to the sledgehammer snark. I don't watch for the drama or medical or whatever. That so isn't the point. Still fun.

Knight Rider: Holy crap. This is SO BAD. This is so bad that the fact that it is car porn doesn't overwhelm the suck. It doesn't /quite/ get to the point to where it is so bad, you watch because it is funny or campy, which is unfortunate because I would like that. No, no. This is just horrible. KITT isn't snarky, the lead is a douche and everyone is super hot and sexy for no damned reason at all. They all look plastic and ... well... like actors. Which sucks.

I watched the Heroes season premiere(s) and I still don't know why I care. Season 2 showed us that the writers are out of touch with the fans. Personally, I'm very glad the writer's strike prematurely ended the season. I don't honestly believe they would have been able to course-correct enough to not hemorrhage most of their fan base. Then again, it was having to wait 9 months for a new episode that gave people time to think and realize that this show is going downhill so very fast. Yet one more reason why the idea of showing an hour long "Premiere party" before the 2 hour premiere was an ill conceived notion. I think it came off as "we think we're the hottest ticket in town", when most people I talk to are pretty sure they aren't. C'mon guys, Lost is one of the best shows around and they don't even have the conceit to parade their actors around for an hour at some horribly scripted party just before airing 2 hours of mediocrity. Wow, I think I might be a little more jaded than I thought.

A little bit. But now I'm dizzy. This just seems like one of those days where everything is just a bit off.

I can't tell if I like Fringe because I think it's genuinely good, or if I like it because I could stare at Joshua Jackson all day long, wondering "How has he not aged at all since Dawson's Creek?" and "WHY WON'T HE LOVE ME?" all at the same time.
