Comments on: Bookish Vacation http://www.bookishdark.com/2006/10/bookish-vacation/ She is too fond of books, and it has turned her brain.

I like Sinise a lot, but find him mostly wasted in CSI. He just doesn't do much. CSI:Miami? I have no CSI:Miami. I hate that Horatio guy with a passion, it annoyed me when they brought in Fake Greg (I don't know his name, he's just a rip off of Greg from Las Vegas), and when they killed Speedle, they killed the last hope I had for them. They're dead to me. Boston Legal is great, if completely insane and unrealistic. The chemistry between Shatner and Spader is magnificent, and absolutely carries the show; there have been times when the stories have bored me completely, but I kept watching for the balcony scene at the end. Add Candy Bergen to the mix, and hotcha! You've gotta spicy meataboll. I love how the elders on the show are just as hot and randy as the juniors. (BTW, the prosecuting counsel in the trial on which I just served reminded me strongly of Denise.) You will love Anansi Boys; it was a great story. Love the notion of having trade available side by side with HC; I found, once I started flying all the darned time, I got over my HC snobbery real fast! Trade PB is my favorite, too, though I'm now totally reconciled to mass market/pocket books--great, good, bring 'em on!

Yes, I am so happy that my little gallbladder-thingy (thats a technical term, ya know!) is gone! I honestly have never felt such sharp pain in my life! So do you like CSI:NYC? That is Aviva's favourite. I think she has a thing for Gary Sinise, actually. I still like the Vegas ones, and will watch the odd Miami one just so that I can see that nice Cubana lady with the long beautiful hair! (Hey, it is not often that I am just a guy that way...so you will just have to deal with my objectification of hot Latinas!) My new favourite is Boston Legal. What a quirky little show. So on to books, I have been on an alternate history kick ever since I read "Man in a High Castle" so now I have moved on to Harry Turtledove novels. I did get a nice trade copy of Gaiman's "Anasi Boys" a few weeks ago. You know how I love the feel of a trade! Speaking of which, for airport commuters here in London a number of bookshops at LHR have started carrying hardback and trade at the initial release. Very handy when you don't want to lug a big hardback on the tube two hours each way! Well, all I can say is that you have come a long way, Bearby!!!

Exactly! I did the super-gross, you're- forbidden-to-discuss-it-during-dinner thing! Oh, and there was a gall bladder attached to the liver, so I got a good look at the li'l bugger that caused you so much trouble recently. Honestly, the whole experience was completely amazing. I find I'm paying more attention to the 'gross' parts of CSI and the like, because now I know what things really look like, I want to evaluate how good their effects are. Hee hee! Exactly!
