stoutfellowThe weather has turned chilly again - highs back in the 40s F - after almost a week of warmish days. Still, not bad for mid-February.
I watched the premiere of Dollhouse last night. I have to say that I find the premise repellent, and the only satisfying arc I could see for the show would be the downfall of the Dollhouse project - but can you do a series on that basis? (Sure, JMS had Babylon Five plotted out five years ahead, but Whedon doesn't have that kind of forethought - or, at least, hasn't shown it in his earlier series.) I may stick with it for another episode or two, but I doubt I'll do more than that.
My copy of Horizon arrived yesterday, and I finished it this afternoon. It's a good read; I don't think I'll rate the TSK series among Bujold's best - Barrayar, Memory, and The Curse of Chalion - but I enjoyed it, and the working-out of the plot is satisfying. (Whit's comment on froggy courtship still has me giggling.)
Kind of a dreary day, and I'm stuck inside doing laundry. (I'm still in long johns and robe, here at midafternoon....)
