Your Wednesday sounds as crummy as mine was.   

Ah well.  Larry didn't like it either.  I don't have very high expectations for this one.  Wish they'd just dump it on DVD already.

David Cross & Ryan Reynolds to leave Amber Tamblyn & Blake Lively to hook up with each other?  ]:D

For the record, I do intend to catch up with Homeland.  I am just so not in the mood right now.

Sons of Anarchy was AWESOME this week.  I'm totally shipping Tiggy & Venus now.  It feels great to look forward to my obsession show again with great eagerness, after a very rough first few eps of this new season.

Here's what I'm thinking so far this year...

BEST NEW SHOW: ... ... ... not sure yet.

BEST RETURNING SHOW: Stunningly, I am going to have to say that Two & A Half Men is so much fun with the Duckie/Kelso/SluttyGayJoan combo.  They promoted Amber from special guest star to regular after only 2 of her originally scheduled 11 eps were aired for a reason.  Or two.  Yeah, point a little lower sweetie.

STILL LOVING THE CRAP OUT OF: Nashville - soapier and mopier, but still classy and emotional, and the music is still phenomenal.  God, I love Lennon & Maisy Stella.

Sons of Anarchy - painfully morbid at first, but finding the fun again.  Just seeing Jax hug Bobby again, and Venus confide in Gemma were reward enough for slogging through the premier, which was designed to capsize all boats.

American Horror Story - still batty, funny, disturbing as hell and oddly moving.  The dynamic duo of Taissa Famiga & Evan Peters is back!

OLD FAVES I'M HAVING TROUBLE GETTING BACK INTO: Homeland, Elementary - this is possibly because I've been distracted by the fatal illness of by beautiful amazing Potcake, Polly.  I get sad, my mind drifts at the most inopportune times.  Looks like specifically on Sunday and Thursday nights.

WANT IT TO BE BETTER. STICKING WITH IT: The Crazy Ones.  I like the Mork & Buffy Show.  I wanted to love it.  The cast is game, but the scripts have to get better.

HOLY SHIT I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M WATCHING: The Trophy Wife.  It's cute and endearing.  Helps that I like the adult actors and that the kids are not annoying.
 
PLEASE GIVE THIS SHOW A CHANCE: The Goldbergs.  Did you love Breaking In?  Fanboys writer, Adam F. Goldberg is back with another weird-ass sitcom --- this one, totally autobiographical.  I love his freaky mind.  Imagine The Wonder Years, set in the nerdilicious 80's, with kind of a John Hughes meets Matt Groening vibe.  And plenty of Star Wars references, of course.  It's brash, but sweet.  And a lot of fun.

Sounds like a lot of fun.  Enjoy yourself, Baby Voice!  LOL!  Sorry, couldn't resist.  Tell them they CANNOT call you that.  Suggest Betty Boop instead.         ]:D

OK, cool.  Now I think I finally understand what this movie is actually about.  And it sounds like a great story...

HAHAHAHAHA!!  Damn, Anne, I think you nailed that one.  Brilliant!

It did go really fast. She started slacking off on her eating in mid-August or so.  I took her to the vet first on September 5, but since she was so hard to vet (pure terror of being handled --- it's a Potcake thing), they didn't find the mass and treated her for parasites, which did no good at all, of course.  They finally found the mass on our follow-up visit a week and a half later or around there.  So we got an ultrasound and x-rays on 9/26 and they said it was cancer.  Somehow, I didn't really trust it though (it seemed so out of the blue) and everyone was encouraging me to get a second opinion, so we went to an oncologist on 10/2 and they confirmed that it was carcinoma and that while it started in her pancreas, it was now pretty much everywhere.  We were giving her fluids and a cocktail of meds to keep her comfortable and hopefully boost her appetite, but it didn't help much.  The last week and a half, it was a very, very fast decline.  She couldn't eat at all, except when the steroids would kick in.  Monday, 9/30 was a good day.  She ate well.  And last Saturday, 10/5 was a really good day.  She ate quite a bit (in very small portions throughout the day) and we had our outing to the park.  Yesterday, her liver failed.  She would've died even if we hadn't taken her in to let her go.  At least we were able to stop the pain she must've been in.  She was in total shock by the time we got to the vet, poor baby.  She was an awesome dog and I will miss her every day.

Thanks.  Check out this video my Potcake Place friends made for us.

So beautiful.

I was just teasing about you putting us all up.  But this is definitely something we can talk about more when it's closer to time.  Wouldn't it be awesome if we could have even a small Dorquette meet-up for this?
