That burns my biscuits...

Imagine Yosemite Sam's growl for the title of today's post. I just got a bill from my former apartment complex for 264.00 bucks. This comes after paying them nearly 1700 to get out of my lease early. According to them there was "pet damage" to the carpet... uh, where? I didn't see any when I moved out. Of course, the carpet was also about 10 years old when I moved in and it even says they had to replace it due to normal wear and tear. So I'm being charged because? These people are going to get a nasty little note from me. Of course my note will start off sounding royally pi**ed before being edited to sound ticked to the final draft which will make me seem mildly put out. I always manage to talk myself out of a full fledged rant. That may seem more prudent on the surface but it's not nearly as emotionally gratifying... Hmph.

So let's talk TV. I've started catching up on The Closer. Wow. Even better than last season. At least the two episodes I've caught so far. "Ruby" was an especially well done hour of television. I believe the other episode was called "The Round File." Also well done. It wasn't as much of an emotional gut punch as "Ruby," but I bet it left a lot of people checking in with their elderly relatives. During both shows I saw promos for TNT's new series Saving Grace. I'm not sure what kind of show this is supposed to be. Perhaps the network in being intentionally vague. I think they're going with the idea that they can just say that Holly Hunter is in it and that will get people to watch... Okay so that works on me but I'm not sure about everyone else.

I've also started watching Kathy Griffin's Life on the D-List. It's pretty entertaining stuff but I can't believe my mother watches this show...

I'm currently watching the 1st season of Stargate Atlantis on DVD. I didn't come into the show until this past season (the show's 3rd) so I have some back story to catch up on. These DVDs have some great commentaries and features. Some of which are laugh out loud funny. I recommend it to anyone looking for something fun to watch. The pilot episode where the city rises out of the water is one of the coolest shots I've ever seen on a television show. Pretty nifty CGI...

Finally, I just recently caught the 5th episode of Sanctuary (on-line at www.sanctuaryforall.com). The website is still not the most user friendly place but the latest installment in this on-line web series was the best, yet. Anyone who likes sci-fi, werewolves, or even Jack the Ripper stories will find this a lot of fun. You can find the first four episodes at Youtube for free. Just search for "sanctuary webisodes."

So this week I'll be working with Colts' coach Tony Dungy on a project. I'm looking forward to that. He seems like a very classy gentleman. I also have a separate shoot with two of his players - Dallas Clark and Bob Sanders. I can't wait to see what a Super Bowl ring looks like up close... :-) Both players have worked with us before and are reportedly quite professional. This will be my first shoot with them. Should be fun. I'll let you know how it goes.

Until next time...
