seriously?

the folks on the other side of the pond think that aborting babies for minor birth defects is a-ok.

that is sick.

i’m back

i’m back – minus fibey. And let me tell you – while the wound hurts (read: No bending, lifting, moving, turning, rolling over – or it feels like I’m on FIRE), the air bubbles are far worse. See, what happens when they open you out and remove your uterus and then put it back in (good times), air gets into your cavity. And that air has to get out, but since it’s not in your digestive track, it has to be absorbed into your muscles and THAT HURTS. So all this air in my stomach is pushing through my rib cage and up my body. It hurts like a fricker, let me tell you. When I lie down, I can hardly breath because of the air pushing on my muscles.

GRRR.

Anyway, other than that, I’m not too drugged up. My beautiful Mother in Law is here helping me (she made some chicken soup and is doing laundry – aww!). She took me on 2 walks this morning and we might go for another if I can get some rest.

Thank you all for your prayers and support!!

Update on christmas

Well, I am just getting back from Chicago and the CBS upfront. It looks good – they didn’t have to do a lot of hole-filling in their schedule. It seems they are a bit cocky, but I don’t think you can fix what isn’t broken. (Side note, Mariah Carey was there and looked AWESOME. She has lost some weight and looks better than she has in a long time. CBS has a Mariah special next fall, which should be interesting.)

As far as new programs go, CBS announced 1 comedy and only 3 dramas. The upfront presentation actually stayed within the 2 hours they said it would – rare for Les Moonves! The presentation was fairly bland – randomly the Jersey singers were there singing ’50s classics which didn’t make much sense until later when they announced that CBS has the Tony Awards and the Jersey singers are up for a Tony. aha.

As far as top picks go – if you only have 3 new dramas to choose from, it really slims it down. The pilot I personally want to watch is Jericho. I love shows that explore what would happen if the worst case scenario happens. Anyway – I like this kind of thing, I’m not sure if the American public would agree with me.

Dramas

Smith – Produced by John Wells (ER/West Wing). Starring Ray Liota, Virginia Madsen, Amy Smart, Franky G. You get up in the morning, you hug the kids, you kiss your wife goodbye. For Bobbie life is perfect – except his life is a lie. He is parat of a group of thieves who outsmart the best security and escape with the most priceless possessions. And at the end of the day – he goes back to an average life.

Jericho – Produced by John Turtletaub. Starring Ashley Scott, Skreg Braydon, Skeet Ulrich. Jay Green goes home to Jericho, KS to make peace with his past. That same day, a nuclear bomb goes off west of the city and communication with the outside world is cut off. The residents of Jericho must figure out how to survive while the world around them is falling apart.
