Week 37

I'm 37 weeks now (and two days). Things look good and normal and whatnot. As of Monday Kassie is clocking in at 6lbs 15oz, so she'll probably end up being a hefty little thing by the time she makes her grand appearance in the big scary world

So exciting! Eeee!

And on an unrelated (and much more minor) note, I'm so very much not enjoying Weeds this season. All the characters are suddenly so unlikable (or have they always been?). The kids are grown up and either assholes or useless (or both), and the adults she used to hang around with are even worse. Ugh. I'm about to give up on the show.

I... I'm not sure why, but after the whole "adventures in Mexico" arc my interest/like of the show started to dwindle. It's almost like it just got too unbelievable or something, and when I lost any real access to the episodes I just let it drop. I think the whole thing with Shane murdering what's-her-face was too much. Yeah, he was definitely becoming a little psychopath, but that was a bit over-the-top for me. So yeah. I haven't really caught up, and with GoT I sort of lost all interest in trying to. Same goes for the new season. And if you're not liking it, all the more reason for me not to bother.

That said, they finally have Glee on Netflix! Alex hasn't decided if he's going to keep our current plan of 1 DVD and streaming, or just cut back to streaming only (what a douche move, Netflix!) but either way we'll keep the streaming part. So I finally will have a chance to see more than one episode of Glee! Yay!

I've never actually used this phrase before, but I think the Mexico arc was the show's "jumping the shark" point. The kids are a lot of the problem -- after killing that guy, the mother spent only three years in prison (one of the cops helped get her out early), and Shane (who now looks like an adult) is nothing but a lower-lip-quivering "kid" who just wants to make it up to her and gain her love. Hasn't that family learned by now that 'love' is not exactly on the top of her list? Shane went off to Netherlands and became a puppet master (seriously, award winning puppet show for kids), but he flew right back when the mother got out of prison. The older brother is even worse, he became a male model (ugh, he's not even good looking), and he outright hates the mother... while also trying to win her love back. The two pothead adults are tons worse and less believable

Wow. Just wow. That sounds truly awful, I really don't think I'll bother catching up/watching the new stuff. It was great and clever and funny in the beginning, but this sounds like it's just stupid now. Better things to watch!

I haven't see much of Glee so far, but what I have seen I've loved. Nice fun, lighthearted show. The other show I wanna hunt down is Nurse Jackie, I saw the first episode of that (somehow, can't remember where) and really liked it - dark humor, but I tend to have a thing for that kinda stuff. Unfortunately on Netflix it's a DVD-only thing, so I might have to obtain it via other means... if I can. Been trying to get A Baby Story (pregnancy has turned me into such a sap...) and I can't find that anywhere.
