I am thoroughly obsessed with Torchwood

And it's pitiful. So this is a BBC show which is a spinoff of Doctor Who of all things. And yet I have watched two seasons in a week (actually I watched season 2 this weekend) and the mini-series which was season 3 in 24 hours. And now I am not sure what to do with myself. Because I miss the characters. Especially Owen and Ianto. But mostly Owen (and it's only partly because the actor is incredibly attractive and Ricardo has been out of town for nearly 3 weeks). Why can't shows in the US develop such good characters? Grand total the show was only 31 episodes long and I feel like I've lost actual friends (I am well aware that I need to be placed in a padded cell so I certainly don't need any of you to tell me that.) I feel like BBC shows are much more like watching movies than they are like watching TV. But I can't put my finger on why.

Either this is true, or I need to stop eating nothing but cereal and popcorn and get a fucking life.

My new favorite site: The Unintended Penis

It's called The Unintended Penis. I soooooo wish I'd thought of this myself! And now I can't help it. All I can do is look for things that are penile now. I've got to get a life, for fuck's sake.

back to the gym

yesterday I went back to the gym. It wasn't pretty. I thought I'd start small and I was very proud of myself for doing it. So I went and did 30 minutes on the elliptical. The thing that was so pitiful is that at Gold's in the "Ladies Gold's Gym" (barf!) there are all these rather elderly women. Many of them look to be in their 70s+. And they are fucking kicking my ass! One of them was on the freaking treadmill for the entire hour I was there. And another one was pumping iron better than I could. So there went all my good and happy feelings about having gone to the gym. Instead I was left feeling pitiful and inadequate. I'd rather work out in the main gym where all the JAG school guys are. At least I know I'll never be anything like them. I have no interest in seeing old ladies kick my ass any more.
