Samantha Who? pilot episode

I really, really liked "Samantha Who?" Christina Applegate produced it herself, she's a good actress, and I like the way it's unfolding. It kind of reminds me of "Stranger Than Fiction" with Will Ferrell because none of the other characters seem to be connecting with the main character and really understanding what s/he is experiencing. I can relate to that. Plus, it was totally absurd, yet believable, and very funny. Jean Smart*, as Samantha's mom , was entertaining as well.

Clearly, Samantha is going to reconnect in some way with Todd because his building's doorman, Frank, played by Tim Russ, is in the title credits and was the one character with which Samantha did seem to make a connection.

BTW, Russ' co-star from Star Trek: Voyager, Robert Duncan McNeill, directed this pilot. Kudos!

Riddle me this, Batman...
Where would any of us be without Star Trek?
Where would TV be without Star Trek?

In the last week I've seen enough Trek alumni on brand new episodes of current TV shows to man an away mission, and I didn't even watch any Trek! Star Trek pwns H-wood.

*Extraneous Trek reference: While looking up Jean Smart on IMDb, I noticed one of the posts in her dedicated message board mentioned that she looks a lot like Kim Cattrall, who was in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. How weird is that?

I keep thinking it's Saturday

Technically, now, it IS Saturday, but at various points throughout the day I'd be doing something that involved some degree of minor thought toward the future and then, like a scratched CD, my mind would jump to a new point, reminding me that it was actually Friday. If anything, I should be a day behind, due to the day off we just had, but no.

My best guess is that my perceptions are being skewed by the increased volume of traffic at work. I suppose there are many people taking a long weekend or a short vacation owing to Independence day falling in the middle of the work week. So it seemed or felt like a Saturday when clearly it was not.

I just have to be sure I get up and go to work tomorrow instead of trying to take the day off. Doh!

Legitimacy

It's been more than a year since I've posted here. It's like that with me. I'd love to post something amazingly interesting several times a day or even just once a week but I'm really too private a person for that kind of activity. Anyway, I wanted to add a new post here just so any passersby would find SOME sort of activity.

Since, clearly, I must say so myself, I really am a busy and interesting guy. In fact, the appearance of little output may actually be due to too much activity between the two halves of my daily routine. [Yes, I intentionally used to/too/two all in the same sentence, just because.] If you still care or have the catlike curiosity that compels you to follow links no matter where they may lead, here is a partial list of the pieces of my puzzle...
