I watched Monk today...

And Psych.

Monk was good, as always, but not one of my favorite episodes.

Psych, now...

I like that show, I think. Mostly because it's a lot like watching a grown-up version of Bruno and Boots, but with creepy photographic memory and powers of observation. What's not to love?

Oh, and went, of course, to Drumming Circle, wherein I managed to convince Ms. Picky-Eater Deniz to try some raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries, on the grounds that she couldn't not like them if she'd never tried them.

Surprisingly, even though she tried the raspberries first and didn't like them (She had the misfortune to get two bad ones, and I felt really guilty over that), she went on to try and pretty-much-like some blueberries and strawberries.

Really, I think it's just a stage she'll grow out of, but she's very annoying to be around when you're trying to share some good food with everyone. And it bothers her mom, so if we can get her to eat a wider variety of food in a friendly, very-little-pressure manner, it's all for the best.

I love Bruno and Boots- what is Psych?

It's a fake psychic detective show. Basically, this guy was raised by a detective and trained to be very observent and remember everything ("photographic memory"). As a grown-up, he uses this skill/gift to convince the police department he is a psychic and solve crimes for them.

Heh, as a formerly Very Picky Eater and still Relatively Picky Eater, I always hated the "You won't know if you like it until you try it" argument. I've never tried bungee-jumping, but I think it's safe to say that I wouldn't like it. Likewise, if the mere smell of something makes me retch, it's unlikely that I'll find the taste so great that it'll make up for that. Not that I think this was the case with Deniz...

No, it wasn't. Trust me, if Deniz was giving "I don't like it because it smells icky" as her reason, the subject would have been dropped. Her reasoning was "I don't like it because I *know* I won't like it", which is quite different.
