• NBC's new program "Medical Investigation" is a loser. I'm halfway through the third episode and it's obvious that no matter how you try to spice it up, the NIH is just not that exciting. Throw in a lot of really bad dialog and you have a program that deserves to be put out of its misery.


• OTOH, the first 20 minutes of tonight's season premier of "Third Watch" was possibly the most intense network TV I've seen in a long time.


• I'll never understand teenagers. For example, when did they evolve into a state of self-awareness? By that I mean, when did any question posed by an adult along the lines of "what in the world were you thinking when you _____________?" generates a response along the lines of "duh...I'm a teenager."
  
  Thus, we live around these semi-sentient beings who demand to be treated as adults, until such treatment becomes inconvenient, and then we must make allowances.


• The week's photo shoot went well, overall, and the client was very pleased with the images that we'll eventually load onto the website. I was never able to get the white balance properly adjusted, but Photoshop covers over a multitude of sins (or an abundance of incompetence or inexperience). Anyway, we've got UT out of the way; next up is Texas Tech, followed by A&M.


• I have a confession. I've grown to like the two guys in the Sonic commercials. Sure, they edged perilously close to obnoxious when they taunted the competition's McClerks over the size of their burritos, but I think they were just doing their jobs, and that wasn't really them. I'm pretty sure they're Mormons, by the way.


• This is all I've got. It's pretty pitiful, I know, but all I can do is throw it out there, and throw myself on your mercy. It's been a long, hard week.
