Thorntons mini eggs : a way of distributing 5 mins of joy at a time to the office as a whole. it only works for 5 mins, but you do get the glee grin and 'ooo, thankyou!'. I kept leaving them on people's desks while they were talking to someone else, or going 'hey, catch!'.

TV addiction has tripled.

I thought 'oh, BSG is finished, that's one less thing, and SGA's also done and dusted (still cannot be arsed to d/l the second half of S5), just Chuck and saturday evening tv.

Then came Big Bang Theory.
The Mentalist looks interesting.
The Wire. Hel-loooooo, and here I thought my thing for Shield-esque had gone. And. um. my love for prez's newfound ability since they took his gun to be a research and patterns monkey knows no bounds.
had d/ld the pilot of Kings when it came out, only just watched it tonight. ♥ of course, *now* NBC gives it kiss of death timeslot.
And I've been yelled at to start on Middleman.

Interested question for the Americans : why is Friday night seen as kiss of death? In the UK, that's when one of the most highly rated talkshows goes out.

why is Friday night seen as kiss of death?

Because Friday and Saturday nights are theoretically when everybody goes out or turns off the TV to do stuff they couldn't do during the week.

It's supposed to be Date Night. Only losers stay home and watch tv that night. Real People watch during the week because they have to go to work the next day.

Prez's sudden flowering as a disciple of Cool Lester Smooth was one of my favourite things about The Wire. Love him.
