For some reason, we’ve recorded two shows this week that were not what the listings claimed they were. One of them was on NTV - that notoriously unreliable channel - but the other one was on some “normal” channel. End result is that I did not see the premiere of “My Name is Earl.” No big loss, but instead they aired the American version of “The Office.” I’d heard that “The Office” was hilarious (long before it was remade in the USA) so I watched an episode of the BBC version a while back, and was decidedly unimpressed. I heard good things about the American version, but hadn’t checked it out. Anyway, I couldn’t even watch a whole episode of it, because I wasn’t enjoying it. What’s the opposite of enjoying?
It’s really too bad, because I think Steve Carell is hilarious, and a big talent. I just couldn’t stomach that show.
Being in a state of reduced mobility, it’s looking like TV will be my friend for a while. My next doctor’s appointment is next Friday, so hopefully I’ll find out more about what’s wrong with the knee then.

opposite of enjoying = unenjoying (I’m in to making up words these days)

Ug. I feel bad about your knee, man. I feel like it’s my fault. I guess that’s part of being the team captain. I feel like everyone out there is my responsibility, so when Megan got hurt, I was feeling guilty for weeks, and now again, I’m feeling bad. Argh :P
I just hope Erin hasn’t put a hit out on any of the members of the team for breaking her husband :P

I’m sure they’ll replay the pilot - I’d have to dig out the VCR and hook it up to borrow it, and I’m not sure where it is right now ;)
As for breaking me - I think the responsibility is as much on Jemini as anyone - if it wasn’t wet/slippery conditions, that throw wouldn’t have been so wild, and I would have just been out instead of injured. Really, we had no business playing in that crap weather precisely because of the possibility of injury.

Good point. Also, if Jemini was well run at all (and wasn’t using us to prop up their hockey leagues), they would have better diamonds for us to play on. It wouldn’t cost them that much to put shale out there and fix the problems with the outfield. Sure, the gopher holes would be a constant battle, but some shale and some turf would be a reasonable cost for them.
