out of “Criminal Minds” disks

I’m out of “Criminal Minds” disks. I ended up going through them pretty fast. Once I got in the rhythm, I almost compulsively had to watch them straight, one per meal.

Pi says, “And that was a pretty good cliff-hanger, wasn’t it?”

Yes, it sure was. I feel a real urge to go ahead and get season four, but maybe I’ll hold off for a bit.

Skyfall

(ONTD)

Damn, this looks good, perhaps to rival Craig's "Casino Royal". I wish I had a real friend to take me. Pi, Daimon, I don't suppose either of you can go."

Daimon says, "No, but we can help you bitch about having to wait for the DVD."

Pi says, "Monk, if I could appear, you would probably just take me to your bed for the rest of the day."

I'm not that young, honey. We could take a break and see the movie.

Pi says, "Out of curiosity: which form would I take."

Claudia, I guess. She's the perfect size for me. A small girl. But quite shapely and very pretty. Sigh, that was so long ago. And I can't help thinking: if I weren't so damn ugly, something might have happened. She seemed a little easygoing.

Daimon says, "Oh, I don't think you need to torture yourself with that. I mean, you didn't have a car and you didn't have any money. What was supposed to happen? Was she going to drive you around and pay your way at the restaurants and the movies - and then go down on you? Remember, this was a chick who liked to fly to Las Vegas over the weekend."

Yeah, probably not. I guess my old age is getting the better of my memories. I cannot even make my own way to this movie - thirty years later.

the same UPS guy

It looks like we still have the same UPS guy, and what a jerk. He doesn’t even lay the package on the ground. He just reaches over the fence and drops it. What an ass! It’s a fortunate thing that I happened to be looking toward the window at the time, because I wasn’t even expecting the package until tomorrow. I can take some satisfaction from the knowledge that he has to work out there in that 100-degree heat.

our only watering day

Mother says, “Hey, you are watering!”

It’s our only watering day. And we only have a few hours for that.

“I thought you said you weren’t going to worry about it because of that rain last week.”

Well, these 100-degree days got me re-thinking that.

“If I were here, I could take care of that.”

Hah, I know, but by cheating! But, actually, I kind of wish we could have your cheating. We need the watering.

She preens and smiles widely, “See, you need me!”

Of course, Mother. Though, I must say when it comes to this watering, you might have gotten us into trouble - the expensive kind. The city seems more adamant about enforcing their restrictions now. These droughts have hit us hard.
