Excessive TVage...

I've watched quite a bit of TV this weekend.

--Last four episodes of Mission: Impossible, Season 1.
(one of which guest-starred Eartha Kitt)
--This Old House
--Seabiscuit
--Jericho (1 episode)

Later tonight, I'll watch more, including my regular dose of Chuck and a PBS special called House of Life: The Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague. I'm really pumped about the latter (from which the current icon is taken), as it's in some of the cemetery books I own and I'm not likely to get to Prague any time soon.

And I tried to watch Twilight this morning. After my trip to the grocery store, I stopped at the RedBox and shelled out a dollar for the experience. I made it through an hour. I doubt I have the patience for the rest of it. Just not the movie for me.

I didn't do teen angst when I was a teenager. I don't enjoy watching it now.

Hey, but I did give it a try.

There was a terrific early episode of Mission: Impossible (the tv series) guest-starring Loretta Swit as the former girlfriend of Jim Phelps... I think it was a Nimoy show, too; it has been a long time.

It's taken me 16 months to get through season 1, but I'll find it eventually. (Season 1 doesn't have Jim Phelps in it, so it can't be that season.)

Yeah, the first couple seasons were Martin Landau and Barbara Bain, pre-Space:1999. I always thought BB looked painfully squished into her acrobat costume in the opening credits.

WHat I don't get is Martin Laundau...He was a heart-throb? Ew, he gives me the creeps...

Really, because I had such a crush on him.

I had way too much teenage angst, and have no interest in anything that will bring back memories of it.

Nothing more need be said....
