This week's episode of Life on Mars sounds pretty awesome, based on my squinting at spoilery posts in the course of carrying out my modly duties at lifein1973. My torrent cannot possibly download fast enough. *hides from spoilers*

My mom and I have developed a relationship of symbiotic thrift store enabling. She pays for the massive stacks of books I unearth and not only does not make fun of me for trying to collect all the Baby-sitters Club books, but finds them and waves them at me and asks me if I already have them, while I veto all the shirts she wants to buy in colors that she should never, ever wear and do, in fact, make fun of all the vases and candy dishes she buys, not that this stops her for a moment.

The only problem is that I keep finding so many books every time we go out, my bedroom will implode.

Today is Tuesday and so we are watching House, American Idol be damned! Yay!

In other news, I don't know if anyone on my flist besides underlucius is watching Life On Mars, but I'm really enjoying it, and it didn't seem to have an LJ community, so I created one: lifein1973.

The premise of the show is that Sam Tyler, a detective working on a tough murder case in 2006, gets hit by a car and wakes up in 1973. He's not sure if he's dreaming, insane, or he's really traveled in time, but he's got a whole lot of culture shock to deal with. He has a fabulous, classic love/hate relationship with his new superior, DCI Glen Hunt, who's Sam's complete opposite in every way. Together, they fight crime!

If anyone who's not watching would like to be, I'm sure something could be arranged, ifyaknowwhatImean. ;)
