Tuesday

[susandennis]

Half of yesterday, I thought it was Tuesday. I was so pissed at Britbox for not dropping the Tuesday-promised episode of Traces. I had everything ready for the house cleaner. I was good and properly Tuesdayed. So today is a real Ground Hog Day for me. Hahahahaha.

I got an email from MyChart today that I had a message. It was another time travel incident. The email said that my 2/25 appointment with my doctor had been changed to 2/25 - same time, same everything. The weird was that I had it on my own calendar as 3/25. Ooops. No clue why they sent me the message, but thanks! It's my annual visit. And no biggie except I like to get the lab work done ahead of time and that would not have happened. At least it will be after my second vaccine so I'll be a little more protected from the perils of being in a building with sick people.

So now that it's not Wednesday... Laundry is all done. The Traces episode is waiting for me. Also I found two more seasons of Silent Witness. A favorite of mine. Then this morning, I read that the next season of Line of Duty - one of my all time favorites ever - will have 7 episodes instead of 6. Dead Brits. My wheelhouse. Steamy goodness.

I do watch a whole lotta non-US police procedurals. I like fiction and not true crime. I like cellphone contemporary* not old stuff. Most are British. Some Australian. All with closed caption turned on. Traces is Scottish and there is one character who's accent is particularly jarring. It's not mentioned in the plot and it took me a while to figure out that she was talking American!

*There's a temporal line in crimes and crime solving that is crossed in the 1990's when cellphone became a human appendage. Before that is one kind of world and after is a completely different kind. I like the after, better. I call it cellphone contemporary.

I an very much enjoying all the snow pictures all over the internet. We so rarely get snow here any more and when we do, it's a dusting. No more good snowfalls and while I love everything else abotu Seattle weather, I do miss the snow.

I have a few house chores today. No reason to leave the confines of the condo. Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday.

Biggie with is yarn work.

I like CSI and CSI New York but not the Miami one, it's too cheesy. Regrading the way phones are handled on TV, it always sort of bugs me when the phone numbers on TV always start with 555. I like to lose myself in the reality of a show if that makes any sense and those 555 phone numbers are like looking at a big neon sign saying THIS IS A SHOW.

I binged all of Line Of Duty last year and am looking forward to the new one. But I'll be waiting until they're all out before watching. With some of the earlier ones I can't imagine how anyone waited a week before the next nailbiting episode.

Yes, this. When Steve got beaten to shit, there is no fucking way I could have waited a week. I'd have been worried sick.

I've had that problem today, it feels like Wednesday to me. I worked most weekends in January but I didn't this past weekend, so it's thrown me off.

I forgot it's Groundhog Day, I'll have to see if Phil saw his shadow.

Ha! Cellphone contemporary, I love it. A friend and I had a huge discussion one time about whether or not the TV show 24 would have worked in pre-cell phone days. I said no, she settled on maybe.

And you can tell roughly how old a show is by what the cellphones look like.

Silent Witness is a fave of mine as well. And with so many seasons I've still plenty left, especially since I tend to fall asleep watching tv.
