What a week! Meetings and work. Too many meetings which interfere with doing real work and then when you get to the real work you end up calling more meetings to clarify the work. Wasted time and inefficiency or job security...

First, I've been having a Buffy orgy. Buffy - Seventh Season is out on DVD. As a Buffy fan this is, of course, a must-have, plus the pricing for the set - $40 - is right in line with my "DVDs should be less than $8" philosophy. Having seen the first 6 episodes so far...nice. The season started out well. Insane Spike. Teenage-Angst-from-Hell Dawn. The "Demon with a Heart of Gold" Anya...all nice. It makes up for the simpering, whimpering Willow.

On, to quote Tyra, "AmericasNextTopModel" Nicole got the axe though for a split second it looked like Yaya may get cut. The models were in Japan doing commercials in Japanese. One challenge had them promoting some sort of sweet plum that apparently tasted rank. All the girls except Yaya made faces but continued witht the plug. Yaya spit out the product (so she doesn't swallow...) which in Japan is a serious offense. At the end with the serious announcements of who stays it came down to Yaya and Nicole. Right - sure, cut the odds-on favorite! This must have been the shows attempt at tension. Meanwhile my pick Amanda keeps getting stuck with these stupid ugly-ass hairstyles which, of course, the judges harp on. It's not Amanda's fault that the hairstylists have no talent. She's working her best with what she's stuck with even if she does look dorky. It's a conspiracy I tell you to make Yaya the winner! I think Yaya and Amanda should go two-out-of-three falls in the underwear...

No political comments today. There's certainly plenty to comment on but it's almost too easy. And if the comments keep flowing out daily then the readers will become used to them and stop caring about politics. No, it's better to patiently wait until the big stuff hits the fan, likely by Monday with this Administration.
