- Still on bed rest. It's still boring. I did get to go to Knitcetera tonight, which was awesome.
- I have completely given up on Tudor heaving bosoms. It turns out, I do not have the attention span for 44 minute TV dramas. (Alternative explanation: the show's just not that entertaining.) I need my reality shows broken up in chunks.
- Which is why I have crazy strong opinions about Top Chef: Las Vegas. My money, btw, is on Kevin for the win, and Jen and Mike V. for a cute hookup, and maybe a restaurant partnership. I would totally go to their restaurant. Or Bryan's. Or Kevin's. The fact that three of those people have to lose the show is a serious bummer.
- Danger Lad! has been insisting on his dignity lately. He is NOT a kid, he has completely rejected his daycare nickname, and also, he is NOT cute. Except that there's not much cuter than a toddler in denial about his cuteness. I have learned not to argue to his face. Here, however, I declare (E pur si muove!) that he's freakin' adorable.
- DL! is also obsessed with monsters. Fortunately, he doesn't seem to find them frightening. They are objects below him in the pecking order, and being entirely imaginary, they can be dominated. (In this, they are manifestly different from the cats, at least two of whom are theoretically beneath DL! in his personal ordering of the universe, but who nonetheless will not obey his commands.)

Try the TV show Leverage, on Wednesday nights on TNT. Very silly and fast-paced.

janetl speaks truth.

But paying attention can be important to fully enjoying it, as it focuses on con artistry, with double- and triple-crosses usually visible throughout but often hard to catch until the wind-up, unless you're *very* keen-eyed (or an experienced double-crossing con artist).

When I was three or four, I was apparently convinced that Puff the Magic Dragon was hiding in the textured ceiling of my bedroom. (I guess some of the shadows looked a little dragon-like.) And this was a Very Bad Thing: for some reason, Puff was out to get me as soon as the lights were turned off. My parents eventually figured out that if they came in with a broom and swept the ceiling, it would convince me that Puff wasn't there anymore so it was safe for me to go to sleep.

In other words, I could have used a dose of "below me in the pecking order" at the time.

Er, when my youngest declared that "cute" was an unacceptable adjective we agreed on "totally bad-ass". Perhaps that would work for you?

We'll have to try that one.

I've met your youngest. She is totally bad-ass. It rocks that she realized that early.
