There’s a story on CNN’s website about a piano that has mysteriously appeared in the middle of a forest. Crazy!
Not a lot going on around here. Which given the last couple of months is kind of nice.
Last night’s 24 was kind of disappointing. Not enough shooting, not enough explosions (heck the one explosion took place off-camera! What’s up with that?!), not a single perimeter was set. And Jack-who-is-tough-as-nails was…. kind of soft and cuddly. So wrong! And when the season premiere starts in January, we have the return of Tony Almeida. Which is a really good trick since he’s DEAD. Why do they always kill off the people I like? But the people you wish would die, like Jack’s daughter Kim and his ex-girlfriend Audrey, never do. It’s so unfair. Oddly, however, Zombie Tony is apparently one of the upcoming season’s villains. I guess being dead will do that to you.
But tonight we have Dancing with the Stars, Cities of the Underworld, CSI: Miami, Chuck, Heroes, and My Own Worst Enemy. Whew!
Reading: Now I’m reading 1634: The Bavarian Crisis (not to be confused with The Baltic War) by Eric Flint and Virginia DeMarce. Thankfully, this book isn’t quite as long. It’s only 704 pages.

On this date in 1963, the very first episode of Doctor Who made its appearance on the BBC. Now, 45 years and 10 doctors later, it’s still going strong.
I started to watch that movie I mentioned last night on Sci Fi, but I couldn’t hack it beyond about 30 minutes. James Brolin and Ian Somerhalder were in it and I felt embarrassed for both of them. The writing was dreadful. And they both seemed like they really didn’t want to be there. And neither did I. *g*
Though the series isn’t due to return until January, there’s a 24 movie on tonight. It’ll be good to see Jack Bauer back shooting bad guys 
, setting up perimeters, and just generally wreaking havoc. *g* There’s also a special on National Geographic about the recently discovered Herod’s Lost Tomb.
Reading: Still reading 1634: The Baltic War. I’m about 2/3 of the way through. I love this series a lot, but, man oh man, you need a scorecard and a timeline to keep everything and everybody straight!
