old teevees

When you grow up on a show and you think it's good, you don't really know if it was good until you see it in reruns 10-20 years later.

* The Hulk: boring as hell, can't watch one episode
* Wonder Woman: surprisingly uber feminist, but boring
* Emergency: sooo slow moving, the camera follows the truck all the way from the station, through the neighborhood, to the site of the fire!
* Dallas: still hilarious
* Dynasty: never watched it when it aired, but I quite enjoyed watching two seasons while catsitting! So holds up.
* MASH & Miami Vice: Well I was too young to really appreciate them when they aired, and very much enjoy them as an adult.
* The A-Team: A modern classic. Just because the 4 characters they created are really great.
* Welcome Back Kotter: When I caught this again in my 20s I thought it wouldn't hold up, but was quite surprised. Like the A-Team, it stands up (for me) because you have a group of funny characters, who have good chemistry with each other. We got in season 1 at work and... I'm afraid I'm going to have to indulge... Mister Kot-TER!

Kitty toyahj

Halzebub has a favourite toy--a laser pointer--and when she gets in a fruity mood and wants me to use it for her this is what happens...

- runs around the apartment
- comes to livingroom and stares at me
- she often knows where the pointer is (I always knew she recognized the sound of me clicking the on button, but tonight I realized she knows what it looks like)
- and if reach my arm out towards it, she comes rushing forward all excited
- I've just tried 5 times to reach for it while her back is turned, and each time she quickly looked 'round (like Dramatic Hamster) and eyed me hopefully

Heavens!

She's tired of being teased, so she's gone to sit on the floor... but each time I reach out my arm her ears perk up and she flicks her tail. Time to stop teasing, and go play with her.
