I had a pretty decent, if largely uneventful, Saturday. I got a little more caught up on Kaleidotrope<\/em> slush, finally reading everything submitted earlier than last month. And I watched this week’s episode of Doctor Who<\/em>, which I quite enjoyed. Next week’s looks like another everything-plus-the-kitchen-sink’s-kid-brother sort of episode, but you certainly can’t accuse Steven Moffat of not having a plan. This evening I also watched Jennifer’s Body<\/em>, which I can’t pretend to have enjoyed very much at all. Less than halfway through, I switched the lights back on and pulled out my iPad for distraction. Scott Tobias<\/a> and Kyle Ryan<\/a> go a long way towards explaining what’s wrong with the movie. It’s like a very badly written version of Ginger Snaps<\/a>. I wish I could say the movie got better as it went — I genuinely enjoyed Diablo Cody’s previous movie, Juno<\/em> and the one episode of United States of Tara<\/em> I’ve seen — but I think it would be wrong to lie. Better to just move on…dot org. (Ugh.)<\/font><\/p>\n

I did manage to get caught up, ever so briefly, in today’s World Cup match between the United States and England. I like soccer — I played for several years, up until sixth grade, and tried out (very unsuccessfully) for my high school team — but professional matches can appear to be very boring, with only brief spikes in excitement when someone gets close to scoring a goal. Those appearances might<\/i> be deceptive — the rest of the world can’t be completely wrong, can they? — but I don’t think I’ll be getting up first thing tomorrow to watch the US in their next match, or any of the other matches. If I happen to catch some more, I’ll maybe watch, the same way I watched this year’s Olympics, but that’s probably it.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, it was mostly just a quiet Saturday.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
