Dinner last night was delicious. Adam made corn on the cob drenched in melted Smart Balance butter, crunchy green squash, and beef ribs. I gave him a black leather wallet to replace his, which was falling apart. We then realized that the traditional gift for the third anniversary was leather. Well... beef is, erm, pre-leather?
Adam has held off on watching the second season of Torchwood until he could download the whole thing. I had not yet seen the last two episodes. We watched those together. It was sad. We joked about Owen, because it was sad and I wanted to laugh at something. But damn, poor Tosh. And okay, so Jack and John? The two sexiest pansexual partners ever. I want John Hart to be a regular cast member next season. Mostly due to my adoration of Spike. And John Hart is what the lovechild of Spike and Jack Harkness would be. So, yes.
The nineteenth season of The Simpsons finished downloading last night, so we watched that season finale (which Adam had missed), and then started with the season premiere. Apparently we had both missed the Halloween episode, so we watched it cuddled up on the couch. I think I shall remember "Treehouse of Horror XVIII" as our "We Watched This Snuggled On The Couch" wedding anniversary Simpsons episode. It was a good one, too. It still doesn't hold a candle to "Treehouse of Horror V" featuring The Shinning, but it's second best in my opinion. And of course I will always hold a special place for the very first "Treehouse of Horror" featuring James Earl Jones narrating "The Raven." Watching that always thrills me because James Earl Jones sounds exactly like that in person. During my 2001 college graduation ceremony (SUNY Purchase), he delivered an amazing commencement speech that had students standing on chairs and roaring. His first words, "ALL RIGHT, THEN," started the cheering, and his last words, "MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU," nearly brought the place down. The speech itself was intense, and focused on the hard reality of life, and James Earl Jones told us that we were grown-up now and to act grown-up and do great things, and I think everyone listened and obeyed with rapt attention mostly because of THE VOICE.

The office is closing early due to the holiday on Monday, so I can close up the library an hour early.
