Anyhow, I also needed Diet Coke (which Costco conveniently keeps in the same exact spot every time, because they know the Diet Coke fanatics will hurt someone if they can't find their fix) and oatmeal. I never found the oatmeal. I know it was in there somewhere, because I saw it in someone's cart in the parking lot, but by the time I had wandered the likely aisles a few times, I lost my will to live and decided to do without.
I did get some blueberry cheesecake caramelized croissants though. Those count as breakfast food, right? Close enough.
Dollhouse
In an attempt to escape my current manuscript, I've been watching Dollhouse. The first season is actually not bad. I have vague memories of the second season stumbling into incoherence, but I haven't seen it since it was released, so maybe I'm mis-remembering.
My two main thoughts are
- The show would be much better without Joss Whedon's creepy prostitution fetish. Weirdly, despite this being a show about attractive people who are rented out with synthetic personas, his fetish is less jarring here than it is in Firefly. But yeah. He's a slimy guy and it comes through in his work, no matter how good some of the other parts are.
- Someone really screwed up by leaning so heavily on the "tee hee, look, they're prostitutes!" angle in marketing, because the actual show leans into adventure and some interesting SF concepts. Would it still have disappeared without a trace if they'd chosen different theme music and opening credits? Maybe not, but I think that might have helped.
