Goings On

I have one day to catch-up on American Horror Story, which I didn't even know was available on Hulu, so I'm doing that today. It's a bit over-the-top, but it's still a good show and I like it enough that I am willing to forsake a handful of hours today making sure I'm up-to-date on it.

Also in TV news, I caught all the trailing episodes of Louie, which is a great show. I mention this in case you haven't seen it or stopped watching because Hulu wasn't upping your subscription (it did that to me on several shows and I had to go through yesterday and re-add them). Louie gets a lot of critical praise and I have to admit that even though I enjoyed it, I wasn't as "ga-ga" over it as the rest... but the Joan Rivers episode established me securely as a fan. Don't get me wrong: I watched a slew of them back-to-back yesterday and enjoyed them all, the episode "Joan" just caught me a bit off-guard and really cemented my feelings about the show.

The best comic book I've read recently is Aquaman #1. I just got a shipment of comics, so I'm not sure if I have #2 or #3, but the first issue was just self-aware enough to be fun without getting mired down in the whole "meta" thing. Writer Geoff Johns also uses a very clever device for introducing and establishing Aquaman and his entire milieu. I'm really looking forward to wherever this is going!

It doesn't look like I'll be celebrating Thanksgiving with my family this year as everyone has to work either that day or very early in the morning Friday, so no one can do the travel time and no one really wants to deal with the whole thing on top of everything else. I may or may not be posting that day, but I'll definitely be posting all the way around that day, so be sure to stop by and see what I'm up to.

I'm going to try to catch-up on my reading, as well as my TV, so there may be more reviews in the near future. I'm still trying to get to a point where I can bring you reviews regularly, but my plate is so full that it's just not always possible. And once you drop the habit, it's hard to get back into the routine. I sometimes fall as much as two or three months behind in my comics reading - even more on some titles - and this is why I'm not more active across other peoples' blogs: I don't want to stumble across spoilers. It's bad enough having to run PR three and four months in advance of the comics - especially when I haven't read the title in three or four months already...

And that's largely what's going on.
