Is it WB or the Palladinos sticking it to the fans with the season 6 Gilmore Girls dvds? *No* extras, and after the great first 5 box sets, they've regressed to the stupid one dvd lying on top of the other.

Didn't get a chance to mention this last Tuesday. Had a check up with my rheumatologist.

He's happy with my circulation. First winter in 4 years I didn't need an emergency appointment, Prednisone, or blood pressure medication. Go me! I did have chilblains, a few ulcerated, and my nails are a bit of a mess (but growing out), but overall it's good. Maybe I'm getting better at managing it. The Plaquenil may also have helped (it has some anticoagulant properties), but as it hasn't done anything for my tiredness and can have long term effects, I've gone off it and we'll try it again next winter.

Arthritis is stable, he's not sure what to make of the flares but so far they're rare. The tiredness is another matter...he's checking my iron levels again but they should be pretty stable. Not much he can do there since we don't know what's causing the tiredness and there's no tests for things like chronic fatigue. I'll be on the Losec (stomach ulcer medication - apparently reduces the stomach acid by 95%) for the foreseeable future. I guess having bleeds once might make me more susceptible with the anti-inflammatories, even with being off the aspirin.

Next check up in March. As much as I love him, it's nice seeing him less often.

From tv shows on dvd:

The daily goings-on in the small town of Rome, Wisconsin are definite proof that real life is often stranger than fiction. From the murder of the Tin Man in "The Wizard of Oz" to a student who brings in a severed hand for show-and-tell and a menopausal woman who runs over her husband with a steamroller, Sheriff Jimmy Brock has seen it all. Indeed, behind the tidy picket fences of this quirky little town lie all the same problems and prejudices found in the big city, except in a small town everyone seems to know everyone else's business - or thinks they do!

We mentioned that we'd see more David E. Kelley titles coming when we posted the artwork for the second season of Boston Legal, and this is exactly what we were expecting. Fox has announced the first season of the award-winning series [Picket Fences] will be released on February 13, 2007. The 22 episode season will fit on 6 discs (989 mins), and will sell for $59.98 US, or $89.98 CAN (Canadians should consider ordering this from the US to save money). The Full Frame (1.33:1) video will be joined by Dolby Surround audio tracks in English, French and Spanish.

1. Disc 1: Pilot
2. The Green Bay Chopper
3. Mr. Dreeb Comes to Town

Disc 2:
4. The Autumn of Rome
5. Frank, the Potato Man
6. Remembering Rosemary

The set will also include two featurettes; we hope to have artwork soon.

Bon Voyage, mandysbitch!

Have a lovely time, say hello to the fannish sites of DC for me, and don't work too hard for the first leg.
