Gloom and Dollhouse
This has been a very lonely, very gloomy Sunday. It’s been overcast, not just cloudy, but dark all day, and I haven’t really enjoyed it. John left to hang out with a friend from high school before I was even fully awake this morning, so I slept in alone. Got up, had breakfast, watched TV he doesn’t like to watch, and finally got dressed. I ran my one errand (grocery shopping), but that only took about 20 minutes. I ran the dishwasher and did the laundry. I finished my book (the Tad Williams book that was tiding me over until I could get the next Otherland book – also Tad Williams), but I didn’t even really enjoy that. I mean, I liked the book, but I was in a gloomy mood. Finally, John called to say he was on his way home. And I’m a teensy bit happier about my day. Also, he’s going to pick up that wonderful pizza with the artichoke hearts and spinach for dinner. 🙂
I’ve been watching Dollhouse, the new Joss Whedon show. It’s been on for maybe five weeks or so. I like it, but I think it’s going to get cancelled. I don’t think the ratings are very high. The premise is interesting, and the episodes are just different enough week to week to keep it from being too repetitive, but Eliza Dushku is just not very good. She basically plays a different person week to week, and she’s not quite believable sometimes. Often. But I like the premise enough that I’ll keep watching. And the theme music gets stuck in my head.
