The Week in Entertainment

DVD: I got a nice set of Quatermass - the first one has only two extant episodes (oh, it's painful to think of the amount of great television just wiped away) but they included copies of the scripts for the missing ones.

TV: Better Off Ted - two episodes (one dvr'd from last week). This show is actually quite funny - strange, but I laugh. A lot. And the Veridian Dynamics commercials they show at the beginning - hysterical. "We can even make radishes so hot people can't eat them. But we don't. Because (video changes from radishes to crying baby) people can't eat. Veridian Dynamics. Food. Yum." Scrubs - a nice ep about the three new interns. The Mentalist - there are, of course, only so many things you can do with the fake-serial-killer plot, so I did guess the killer, but it was a well-done episode. Also NCAAW basketball - one disappointment after another this year...

Read: Finished up Scalzi's Old Man's War and went right into The Ghost Brigades and The Last Colony. And then topped it off with the stand-alone The Android's Dream. There was a lot of comparing him to Heinlein and King on the covers - King, I don't understand, there's no similarity, and Heinlein? I can see that, but Scalzi is way better. Way better.
