Renewal!

Like a mirage, Saturday morning looms in the horizon. Sweet sleeping in!

Those who know me are aware that I have incredible discipline, rising at sunrise, one hour of tai chi, and at least one-half hour of transcendental meditation. And, of course, work. Lately I've given myself weekends to sleep in. Tomorrow will be one such morning. And then maybe this case of vapors will dissipate for good!

I'm also simply exhausted from all the TELEVISION. Does it seem like more than usual interesting shows out these days? And then to still keep up with returning favorites...it's almost simply too much. Had a double dose of Ugly Betty last night, and am now getting acquainted with Life.

Which I really like, far more than expected! You probably know that it's about a cop who was wrongly convicted of a triple murder, finally exonerated and released. He's both famous and infamous, tainted but renewed, and years in prison navel-gazing has made him an intuitive, if sometimes frustrating, partner for his partner (played by Sarah Shahi, veteran of The L Word and Teachers and finally in a role she can sink her teeth into). There's little hints about the murder, his life in prison, the world around him, why he's so...odd now. It's not as cut and dry as it could be, as broad, nor is it twee and precious like Pushing Daisies (oh...honestly is all I have to say about that one).

So, cop drama fans, you will like Life.

And now, back to my Tivo!
