Law and Order SVU

After spending the majority of the day (and the day being Saturday) at work, I really needed some time off. So, the siblings (R & P, and R's girlfriend, P2), came over for dinner (take-out, who has time to cook anymore!) and a marathon of Law and Order SVU. Except I got tied up at work until 915pm, but fortunately the siblings are ever entrepreneurial and brought their own set of keys to my apartment, so they were able to let themselves in at the appointed hour and make themselves comfortable in front of my television.

We watched four episodes in total. I'm not the biggest fan of this season. It's just a little too sensationalist for me. I want more gore and crime and less . . . fake drama. Because if you have rape and murder and sordid sex crimes, you have drama a-plenty without having to resort to some crap plot line about the new DA having a thing for Detective Stabler. We don't have time for those sorts of romances.

It's 230am so I should go to bed. But first, let me link to this article from Slate, which talks about whether cyclists should follow the rules for cars. Let me clear and unequivocal on this point: YES. I've said it before and I will say it again. If you are not in a wheelchair, in a pram, or riding a tricycle (OK fine, or a bicycle but only if you're less than 12 years old - arbitrarily picked age), then you should be ON THE ROAD and not on the pavement and you should be STOPPING AT THE RED LIGHT.

Because otherwise you get in my way as I walk to work. And in case you were wondering, well, see the previous post: I'm not a morning person, and I don't need you in the way.

I went on a ticket-buying spree today. Two concerts in November and one in December. Which ones, you ask? Well, I've got to keep you on your toes. So keep checking this blog regularly, and you'll find out soon enough.
