Weekend update

The big news is that Claire lost another tooth. Actually, we had to take it out (the new one was coming in behind it). Out came the steel pick, and Dad found a place to get it under the old tooth, and *pop*. Didn't hurt (much) and although there was a little blood, she was really excited. She actually asked me if she would get a special treat, like when she went to the doctor. The tooth is going to school with her today for show & tell, and tonight, the tooth fairy will pay a visit.

With the weather cooling and rainy season coming on, Reeta's allergies seem to have sprung into super-action mode. She spent the weekend sleeping and nursing the mother of all headaches. Claire and I played a lot - (wrestling, "Hug Attack", etc.)

New Foster's on Saturday. Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends has consistently been batting +2 Cokes. In this episode, Mac and Blue realize that if their friends are adopted, they won't be in the house any more, so they try to break up "Adopt-a-Thought" Saturday. Best Part? Mrs. Foster telling them to make sure they don't adopt out her "poker buddy". Followed by a shot of a giant playing card beating a couple kids at poker. A quick, two second shot that still makes me giggle (Mrs. Foster is comedy gold - she's always doing something funny).

Farscape: Peacekeeper Wars started last night, and definitely did not disappoint. I was one of many people who were disappointed when the series ended. In fact, I thought the ending was horrible (sealing off the path back to Earth, and killing off the main characters in the space of ten minutes). But of course, like a comic book, death is rarely permanent in Farscape. And within fifteen minutes of opening credits, John Crichton and Aeryn Sun were re-constituted and back in action. Farscape is just plain ol' fun. Farscape is good, not just because of the action, but also because of great characters and dialogue. Especially the character of John Crichton. He really acts like an Earthling being thrown into a sci-fi movie. Occasional references to pop-culture pepper the dialogue. (Referring to the guy in his head as "Harvey", for example). Awesome bad guys. Definitely +2 Cokes for part one. Part two airs tonight.
