I was planning to go to Evanston today, but I had long, double-work days on Wednesday and Thursday, so I'm was already thinking to fck in advance. I woke up and there was more snow, so yes. Tomorrow instead. Except, I couldn't remember what the rules were about university library being open during certain hours, and if I would need my alumni card, and I looked it up on the website and found this: "The general public may gain access to the Library during the restricted hours only if they present an Infopass or letter of introduction." [emphasis mine]

How much do I want to write myself some fake letter of introduction? And maybe wear a special outfit to go with it??

Last night I finally lost the virginity I've been wanting to get rid of -- I watched episode one, season one, of The Wire. I've had the disc at the top of my netflix queue for over a month, it was always a "long wait". It finally came last week, but there wasn't a good time to watch it. Finally last night I decided, any time we watch it will become a good time, so I'm just putting it in -- no matter how tired from work and the week. Plus, the rerun of Sex and the City had been shown three thousand times, so I had the perfect opportunity. To be honest, I think I'm most excited about starting a show that's four seasons behind. Lately I've been getting into current shows, which is good for the occasional conversation and entertainment weekly article, but I'm not sure its worth it to give up instant gratification, as well as constant exposure to spoilers. I'm not even that hardcore anti-spoilers, its just when I'm constantly surrounded by commericals and talk and articles, the power of the show itself is lacking.

Speaking of tv, time to watch Ugly Betty while I eat breakfast.
ETA: Argh. Except Abc.com tricked me and the 3/01 episode for download is a rerun.

In all seriousness, The Wire is one of my most favorite shows of all time. Starts slow...then...BAM! before you know it...you are hopelessly addicted!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on it as you progress through the shows!

You have so much goodness coming your way.

Has mintwaster badgered you into watching 30 Rock? Because, truly, that show is frigging hilarious. Funnier than anything I've seen on network television, maybe ever.

Also, you are going to want to obsessively deconstruct the Wire. It is so Rich. I will try not to spoil it, but you know how I am about time/sequence. Also, you should go to evanston tomorrow in such a way that allows for a stop at loyola between 12:30-1:30 for lunch with me (cuban sandwiches at la unica, perhaps). Apparently, I have forgotten my phone, or I would have sent this to you in a tiny email.

bastards

They tricked me too! I was settling in to watch Gray's Anatomy at 3:00 sharp, and it was a rerun from November! Does that mean the season is over??
