While I'm not doing wrisomifu, I have found that the Write or Die program is very helpful. (1200 words in an hour!) Just the threat of something bad happening is enough! :-P

I absolutely adore "The Mentalist" and I'm very glad it got picked up for a full season (and let's hope many more). I can't quite explain what all I love about it, but Simon Baker is a large part of it. And tonight, I was quite surprised when, at the end, SB's character is given some very personal information, the camera closes in on his face, which is very still and controlled, then the other character leaves the room and his face just crumples and he starts crying. And you can see how tangible his sadness is. And then I started tearing up. Gah.

I love this show too! I think I missed the first couple episodes, because I was skeptical about the premise, but it is fun. (When I don't fall asleep on the couch and miss the ending, like last week.) I like all the character interactions, and how his coworkers keep trying to trip him up, and it never works.

I used to watch Simon's last series - which I've forgotten the name of now. Did you know he's Australian? Last night's ending was really powerful. I think I need to go back and find the season premiere, so I know what happened to get him to this place. Glad to hear it's been picked up!

Yeah, I love his coworkers too - especially Rigsby. I know there are places you can get the episodes online.

The Guardian? Or Smith (which was barely on)? And, yeah, I knew that he's Australian. :-D And, yes, definitely go back and watch the first episode - it deals directly with what happened to his family. (And get caught up on the other episodes too. :-) )
