Message 708

Yesterday I finished reading the book that Vanessa gave me titled The Explosive Child by Ross W. Greene. It was very interesting and useful in helping Beech. In the evening after the Friday PBS shows were over I watched Disk 4 of Dollhouse. It turned out there was only one episode on it along with a lot of commentary that I also watched. Fox cancelled the show after the thirteenth episode, so it ended in a strange and puzzling way, and I felt it was never allowed to reach its full potential. The series dealt with the human struggle with the question of identity in a typical Joss Whedon science-fiction way, and it had a lot of the cast and crew from Buffy, Angel, and Firefly, but it never had the chance to reach the level of these previous productions. However, if it were a movie, I would still give it four stars.

Helen's dad is recovering from surgery, so she and Jim are with him this morning, thus I am skipping Starbucks this week.
