Hurricanes, Television and 'Please, Apply for these jobs'

1. I am pretty obsessive about checking news websites, but I completely missed how dangerous Hurricane Katrina had actually gotten till I was reading last night on my flist about the possibility that New Orleans might actually be underwater if the hurricane hit it directly. I'm glad it hasn't come to that, but still, the amount of damange it has done is mind-boggling. Not only to New Orleans but also the rest of Lousiana, Mississippi, Alabama and what it did to Florida. Perspective check much. My thoughts are with anyone who has been directly, or knows anyone directly affected by it. I often say in response to all manner of things 'I can imagine' but in this case, I really can't.

2. ( Sports Night Season 2 )

3. Angel (Origin) and Without A Trace (Nickel and Dimed Part I) both had really strong eps this week. Desperate Housewives (Anything You Can Do) in my opinion pushed things a little too far, but Felicity Huffman is all sorts of wonderful.

4. My DVD buying frenzy has really got past the point of a joke, but it's interesting that my recent purchase of The OC S1 (it was on sale and I have no self control) has led to my brother watching 4-5 eps a day and not me - more because I've had other things I've been watching than because I haven't wanted to, but still. We sat down and watched 'The Televonela' tonight and I forgot how just plain entertaining this show could be. I also fell a little bit in love with Sandy/Kirsten and Seth/Summer all over again too. Mer.

5. I really want more Veronica Mars. C'mon Friday. I need to know.
