Yeah, it's a bit petty, but I'm really upset that instead of taping Veronica Mars last night, I taped an hour of local coverage of the Griffith Park fire. I mean, if I'd woken up an hour earlier, I could've watched House instead. Other channels did an interesting compromise where they preempted the commercials but not the show. I have to imagine that it's a good way to keep the ratings up.

On the other hand, I'm more upset that so much of Griffith Park is burning. I was hoping to get to hike up there soon. I'll probably do it anyway—burned areas have their own eerie charm—but I would have liked to have seen Dante's View.
