@#$%

Rats - I have two book reviews that I need to get up here but our DVR is on the verge of filling up so we HAVE to clear some shows off that tonight instead. I mean, it's pretty much dire.  So stay tuned.

Oh, I did watch the two hour premiere of ABC's The River.  Not that scary (when competing against The Walking Dead and even American Horror Story).  Way too frantic with the "found footage" racing and jerking through the jungle.  Totally Smoke Monster derivative (if you saw it you should know what I mean).  And I didn't care about any of the undeveloped characters - seriously? a mystic native in this day and age? - although Thomas Kretschmann is yummy.  The next LOST this ain't.
