rowdycamels being a TV addiction crack fairy = I think I might possibly be hooked on Bones.
Crap.
Aren't they on, like, season four or five now? Oh, dear. (Since it's on Fox, and it doesn't suck, that's rather amazing.)
3 papers + 4 weeks left in the semester + 2 exams + 4 seasons of Bones = MY HEAD ASPLODE.
Maybe it'll go downhill from the pilot and I can stop watching? Or maybe I'll just catch up over Christmas break. Or work out some method whereby I really truly limit myself to one every week. (I really, really don't have time for more than that. Oh dear god.)
(Re: impressions of the pilot: fairly heavy-handed exposition and point-making, but not terrible for a pilot; Brennan/Bones/Temperance/whatever she actually goes by is even more socially awkward than I am, which is comforting and horrifying at the same time; I'm kind of shocked that David Borwhatshisname isn't imitating a plank of wood; I'm glad they got the Mulder/Scully ref out of the way in the first five minutes, because...yeah; their FBI boss is bald, just like Skin-man!; the music is annoying; they gots cool electronic goodies at the Jeffersonian Institute of Whatever It Is (can you tell how much I was paying attention to detail?); I thought the bone lackeys were funny, but they seemed a bit scripted (maybe it's the pilotness of it); ZOMG BLATANT UST LIEK WHOA.)
P.S. Ellen, I hate you.

But at least with Netflix, you can only blow through three or four episodes and then you've gotta stop and wait days for new dvds. It limits the insanity just a little.
True, true...
Ummmm... I'm trying to talk myself out of getting a Kathy Reichs book when I stop by the library this weekend...
I hear basically the only thing it shares with the show is Brennan's name and occupation. I think I would find that disappointing, unless it's really good in a vastly different way...
