Not a Sympathy Strike

How to explain my absence here? Simple: laziness. I've been watching TV, but just not writing about it. It's been pretty boring, truth be told, as our DVR backlog delayed any meaningful entry into the new season until recently.

About the only thing of note is that I've become a very late convert to The Amazing Race. Caught an episode over the holidays and watched from there on out.

For scripted stuff I have nothing to add other than excitement over the return of Lost this week. Well, I will add some disappointment with the current seasons of House and Grey's Anatomy. I'm more irritated at the latter, as I figure House has one story line per year that irritates me, and this year it's the hunt to replace the Cottages (tm Television Without Pity).

I do find myself watching more news of late, especially election coverage. I want to hit Wolf Blitzer every time he refers to the CNN panel of talking heads as the greatest political team on television. That or cry on the off chance that he is, indeed, correct.
