Mood:  a-ok

the incredibles was great (great voicework, great writing, spectacular designwork and animation, one of the better action films in quite a while). american dreams was great (as usual, juggling numerous subplots and characters and making them all work--to be fair, when the power started going out, my first impulse was that chris had done something, but alas, the protesting isn't turning to outright revolution just yet). the simpsons was great (not the best episode ever but funny stuff). arrested development was great (and i love how this show keeps ongoing plot threads going, effectively keeping itself from being a true "sit"com). the wire was great (mcnulty's forgetting he pressed on d's death was fantastic, marlo's getting out of the trap was a nice touch, the potential nightmare of amsterdam seems like an inevitable failure and bell's admission in the end was one of the great moments in recent television). huff was better this week than last week (though it could get a little darker to match that opening credit sequence, the tone was more even this time)

and, though i screwed up every step of my lemon meringue pie yesterday evening, each error was fixed and the end result was a damn good pie. and, the waffle iron was a little iffy on the first batch of waffles, but then i got the hang of it and those turned out well

and, we got a new blanket and sheets set for the bed that will be delivered in a couple days, plus a couple new pillows

it was a surprisingly good weekend. so, fuck the world. i don't have time to complain right now =]
