So I'm watching Millennium Season 3, which -- remember how hard I pimped Season 2 to you? Season 3, not so much. Not as bad as the final years of X-Files, but not where you want to start, and you won't die if you don't watch it.

Anyway, I'm watching it, and...there's an episode I've never seen. The hell? Why didn't I see this? I was enjoying a slight nervous breakdown at the time, so maybe it was one of those Fridays where I came home and went to bed for 15 hours. Maybe Channel 7 bumped it for Christmas with Billy Graham or something. My point is...new episode!

And it's a Christmas episode. The BOMPBOMP! is replaced with a jolly little jingle bell chingching!, which is quite delightful. And it starts out well, ragging on Miller's Crossing and Beauty and the Beast (the TV show, which needed a lot more ragging than it ever got). Sadly, the whole thing falls to bits in about 20 minutes. They were trying for Darin Morgan and got Lee Goldberg on the brown acid instead.

Still and all, though, I'm saying, new! episode! of! Millennium!

ETA: Also, "...13 Years Later" is nowhere near as bad as I remembered.

Woke up this morning to laundry room floor with a quarter-inch or so more water on it than I generally prefer. Cleared space. Re-sorted laundry. Hoping to find a cause at some point. Also hope rain will stop so I can take soaking braided rug outside to dry, or at least decompose in the outdoors.

Car has thrown shoe. More precisely, thrown an axle boot. I have no idea what that is, but it is being fixed, along with the dead headlamp. I only took it in for an oil change. God thinks he's funny.

Watched most of Millennium Season 2 over the weekend. That, my friends, is some damn good TV. You get Charles Nelson Reilly as José Chung vs. a cult that's nothing like Scientology, Darren McGavin as Frank Black's dad, Mary Magdalene in junior high, assorted demons and devils, an angel or two, flesh-eating bacteria, the earwormiest pop music accompanying wonderful torture and murders, and a really crappy painting by Hitler. Best Buy's got it for $19.99 right now, and it's well worth having. (The only disappointment is the godawful extras and commentaries. A Morgan and Wong show, but no Morgans or Wong at the party, not that one can blame them.)

Made Tommy a strange hat, and finished her Comet the Wonder Horse sweater. Alas, last week I heard the dreaded Obitsu Snap!, and had to send off for a new part to fix her. She keeps giving me the whole "Oh God...I can't feel my legs..." thing, then acts all pissy when I point out her lack of a nervous system. Disassembling her and doing a spinal transplant should be fun. For me at least.
