Just watched Sunday's Shark. LOLOL at how, when they're walking out of the courtroom about 1 minute from the end of the show, the camera misses the shot on Jeri and catches her a bit too low and you can totally see her belly. It's fixed in about 2 seconds, but it was funny all the same. I suppose it may not have been a mistake, as shows will occasionally do that just so the audience can go "Oh, I knew the actress was pregnant," and this one was pretty blatant, but the fact that she's got the jacket and the all-black and the huge purse for hiding purposes make me wonder if it wasn't just a mis-frame.

You know, she's one of the best TV lawyers I've ever seen, and I think it's simply because you can believe that she's that smart. Because, you know, Jeri actually is. Lisa Edelstein wouldn't do nearly so well if they made Laurie on West Wing ever actually do any lawyering, methinks, because the air of natural intellegence just isn't there. (Not to say that Lisa's not smart in her own right, but there's something about how her voice has a hint of natural valley girl--or, more accurately, NY club scene girl--cadance that makes her sound like a ditz more often than not.)

And in other news. I'm still waiting on my pears to ripen. I know they're all (there are 5 or 6) going to ripen at the exact same time and I'll have to spend a day eating nothing but pears so they don't go bad, because that's how fruit works. I wish they had had the Bartlett kind, because you can actually tell the ripeness by the color change, rather than me trying to guess what this magical level of "the right amount of give" is.

Twas 72F degrees this morning/afternoon. I had to strip off while driving not only my coat but my stylish jackety thing and roll down the window.

Twas 13 with a wind chill of -4 on the way home from the gym this evening. Had to put coat back on and crank up the heat in the car (which frustrated me by not really working until I realized that the window was still open).

Plus, the wind was some 59 mph and blowing my car all over the road. This little thing I drive is way too light to stand up to that kind of beating--it already needs realignment, but just keeping it going in a straight line was a struggle.

Um, weather, whutisthis?

And on the tooth front. It fractured just below the gum line, so I'm missing about 1/4 of the tooth (the endodontist poked it twice or so with a random tool thing and then just popped it up with tweezers), but that means that there's still a pretty good chance of getting the crown on successfully. It's hard to say, though, because though they can do it if it's below the gum line a bit, this looks pretty far under to me (though it's still swollen from the infection, so we can't tell at this point).

Re: House. I admit, I did not get the prostitute/Mary thing with the clinic patient. My understanding level was prolly hindered by my being on the treadmill at the time (you don't quite pay as close attention when you're trying to avoid getting sweat in your eyes), and I was flipping channels on commercials and missed quite a bit, though, which was not cool. It's impossible to guess when the show'll be back anymore. There was one really long stretch with no commercials, and then like a 5 minute commercial break, and after that each break was only one minute or so. Oddness.

And my pears are ripe! Win. Except now I've eaten three of them today because I don't want them to go to waste, and so managed to go way over my calorie allotment for the day, which is lose.
