I just found my new favorite television show. I watch two television shows on Wednesday night, and now I found a third. It's called Pushing Daisies, and it's wonderful. It comes on at 8, and then Criminal Minds comes on after it on a different channel, and then, if I'm not too tired, I watch CSI New York. I usually don't, though, because it comes on at 10, by which time I am usually exhausted.

So this show, Pushing Daisies, is so very sweet and delightful. It is very like a Roald Dahl book, even narrated by a grandfatherly British man. The two main characters seem very much like grown up Roald Dahl children, they're so childlike, (but not childish), and the man is so diffident and idiosyncratic, while the woman is charmingly wilful, and able to touch him very deeply, which is something no one else can do. The only thing is, he can't actually touch her. I should explain the plot. This man, he is called The Piemaker, is able to bring a dead person to life with a light touch, but only for a minute, or someone else will die. He can make them go back to being dead with another light touch, but he loves this girl he calls Chuck, and inadvertantly kills the director of the funeral home in which he found her by not kissing her back into being dead. He wants her to be in his life so badly, even if he can't touch her, that he keeps her alive. They knew each other when they were small children, and he accidentally killed her father. It's rather hard to explain, I'm afraid. They were each other's first--and last--kiss. How very wonderful and sweet, don't you think? I do.

I'm in love, I think.

In other news, I've started decreases for the beret, so that's good. I also have a rather bad fever and flu symptoms, and it's all I can do to type straight. I may be having a bit of trouble making sense, I'm afraid. It could be the sinus medication.

I'll stop writing for now, I am watching Mandy Patinkin's last ever episode of Criminal Minds. And he's the reason I started watching it in the first place. I like it for its own merit now, though.
