lions and tigers and polar bears, oh my

don't you love sunday morning/afternoon television? especially during the off-season of football? i am pretty much limited to animal planet, tnt and espn. (i'm boycotting espn, however, until after cheater of the year bonds can put that *-marked hr over the fence finally. i hate him.) i just got done watching a special that billed this island in the arctic "polar bear alcatraz." clever. wrangel island, that's where it was shot, with a russian filmmaker who stayed with another russian polar bear expert whose name is nikita and whose daughter's name is nanuk. oh no wait, not his daughter; his dog. (i liked it better when i thought it was his daughter though.) anyway. quite interesting. i told mor what i was watching just to get his reaction; he used to have nightmares that the polar bears from the la zoo escaped and came to his house and ate his family. (to his credit, these nightmares didn't start of their own accord, but after a few teenagers decided to go for a dip in the polar bear pool at the la zoo. true story. or at least morgan has convinced me it is.)

ooh! how did i not know there is a "law and order" marathon on usa? thank goodness for retroacting tivo. phew.
