So, which show would be left standing if I were stranded on a desert island?
Same guidelines as the Top Ten list; only candidates are shows which have finished their runs and which I’ve seen all or most of.
Begin elimination . . .

Incidentals
A. My Buffy post generated more dirty spam than any post heretofore. (So, she brought the wood out?)
2. I realized a few weeks ago (and Achi demonstrated) having something like my blog could be a liability when it came to, say, applying for writing positions. I use this page how many people use sleep; as basically a dumping [...]

Thoughts On The Week
If giving Obama the Nobel Peace Prize is to help him accomplish something worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize, would giving him a Heisman make him a better football player?

Though Death Cab for Cutie has shattered my confidence in – well, humanity in general – by creating a song exclusively for Twilight, this here video did make [...]

Non Sequitur: if you read my blog and don’t know me in person, I’m white. This having nothing to do with the post.
I can’t dance.
I understand the concept. I can feel the beat. But there’s some sort of delayed reaction or bodily misfunction or muscle protest from all my years of various other activities which does not allow me to move to music in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
The next new task in life I set for myself: [...]

Spoiler Alert: The following is politically incorrect.
I have come to appreciate more and more the variety of experiences I had while growing up. More than many I got to experience the Melting Pot effect.
Then I came to Wisconsin. Another different culture and new experiences, but unlike most of the rest of my surroundings, the things to learn and experience ran out [...]

The plus sign which subtracts from life as it adds
I am not ready to have a child.
I know this announcement is met with a resounding chorus of ‘Well, DUH’ from all of my readers.
This unreadyness is despite my ability to cook, my fair-to-middling amount of responsible-ness, my sterling record of childcare-without-serious-incident, and the cooing remarks of every older [than 30] woman at every church I [...]

When you hit the writer’s block, turn left onto the Internet and . . .
My last post contained many inexcusable elements. For starters, I put Twilight and Anthony Andrews on the same plane. Also, I can’t decide if that poem is more abominable to people who have read the book/seen the movie or to those who haven’t. Then there’s the plea to not ‘behead me.’ At best unfunny, at [...]

Devolving
While living with my cousins, I started to unconsciously morph into an OverProtectiveParentalUnit* – you know the type. Their mom is pretty low-key, not insane at all, but I’m not as used to it – and so not as relaxed rational about the whole deal.
I continuously caught myself reflexively grabbing their arms, or saying ‘Don’t put [...]

Give Me Park Avenue
After my time out in the country, I spent a week of complete opposition to all that is hick.
I ate at fancy restaurants.* Between my grandma and the aunts, we hit just about everything Wisconsin doesn’t offer (including In-n-Out burger).
My cousin is a pastry chef (who married a chef**)at a great little place in Antioch, [...]

Bye Bye, Mel
I’m back in lovely Wisconsin.
If this collection of electronic particles were able to accurately convey the actual tone of that sentence, you’d need a sponge to wipe the sarcasm off your keyboard.
I’m not one of those people who can walk through the door and collapse and leave the suitcases to ferment for a day or [...]
