What is up with Six Feet Under this season? I used to love that show, but this year it sucks. Are there all new writers on the show who aren't familiar with the characters? I ask that because every single character has turned into a selfish idiot -- except for David who has morphed into super wimp. When he was smoking crack (crack?) the other night, I almost turned off the television. I'm gonna try to hang in there with the show and hope it turns around. If not, looks like I'll have to spend Sunday nights, like reading --- or something.

Those Who Shall Remain Nameless
Wednesday, July 14, 2004
Say someone is pregnant. Say that person is over 40 and a little freaked out because she needs every test in the world done (and then has to wait weeks before anyone tells her anything concrete.) Say she gets many tests done and things look good. She is feeling positive and hopeful and the fact that her sundresses don't fit anymore is no longer a concern because she is having a healthy baby and she is looking forward to buying all new things anyway. Then say that she picks up the phone without looking at the caller I.D. and someone-who-shall-remain-nameless is on the horn. Say this person (SWSRM) proceeds to scare her about her pregnancy, telling her that she should be getting monthly ultrasounds because his wife you know, delivered a "dead baby." Say the woman, who is usually a loud mouth with a lot of opinions is too shocked and upset to say anything because well, it is just so inappropriate and harmful and negative that she is frozen into silence. Say that SWSRM goes on and on until she musters up the strength to say goodbye so she can cry on her bed and wonder why people are so incredibly thoughtless.
Any ideas why someone would do that?

Oh Baby
Lots has been going on since I last wrote. The book is still happening, but has been pushed back a tiny little bit. I saw the proofs though and it looks absolutey luscious. I can't wait to actually hold it in my hands like a little newborn baby (FORESHADOW). It'll still be out in time for Hanukkah (It's the perfect gift. Yes, finally a Hanukkah gift that people will want. Yes, Buy! Buy! Now! Now! Also, Review! Review!)
Been at home a lot taking care of myself and gearing up for a certain event that will take place in late December. For those that know me, you can only imagine how much fun I've been the past couple of months (ask Doug about what a beast I've been.) And for those who don't know me, I've been an absolute joy! Ah, pregnancy.
I've been reading a lot and gotten addicted to several websites: of course, my daily dose of Gawker.com, (I stalk for them proudly), the irascible Todd's Levin's Tremble.com and more recently Hilary Carlips' joint called FreshYarn.com. I love personal writing - really good personal writing, and this site is fantastic. And I'm not only saying that because they published me this month either.
