Nooooo. No new Legend of the Seeker for a month. *blink blink* This is so mean. Just like the fact that all my shows have been reruns for the past three weeks, apparently there was something else going on, with people either in big coatsor skin tight lycra. Flags were waving and people were cheering. I am still not sure what that was all about (joking) So, no new LoTs, but at least some other favorites are coming back. LIKE! Castle, and my guilty pleasure that is the Real House Wives of NYC. WooT! Excited about that one.
My life revolves around TV shows and my Dog. Oh no, I am not a lifeless nerd. *blinks again*
Theowas… let’s just say school last night was interesting, and by interesting I mean to say that he was pretty much NOT falling in line with the program. He was all no, and blah, and don’t touch me, and generally making things a lot more exciting for me. We stayed late after class to get more pointers on how to deal with his teenager-ness. I want him to be successful, as in a totally well trained and well behaved Chow. So, whatever it takes, right?
And I am sort of annoyed that it is Monday. Save grace? I’ll be watching LoTS during my lunch break *I heart Cara* and well, once Monday is done we are closer to the weekend.

If you come here then you know I love TV, and that I am always behind on whats happening because a) I DVR because I hate commercials and b)I go to bed early. So! yesterday I watched the Valentines Day Ep of Grey’s Anatomy (one of my guilty pleasures) and OMG. teary eyed me. Broke my little heart almost. Emile! SOAB. I know Emile. That is so. *sigh* yeah. I know that character in the cast of life reality. I know that character oh so well.
Oh, and I hate that little grey and Karev  are hooking up. Makes me want to hurl.
And I think all this Grey’s is haunting me. Never will I do three episodes in one week. While the dream of running across Dr. Arizona in a bar downtown, ending up making out in an alley are hot, it is still weird because her dialogue is always so poor clicheboring. *blinks* I’m an asshole sometimes. I know this. (I also know it isn’t the actresses fault. It’s the writers. As a writer I can fully blame ofther writers!
BUT! Points for me, when I was at 7-11 yesterday the checker person dude whatever rambled on with a thick ass I’m a drunk slurfor nearly three minutes. I think he was talking about dogs, but I couldn’t be 100 percent sure. Did I mention the slur? Seriously. I think he saw Theo in the truck, asked me if he was a Chow, and them maybe was talking about… I don’t know. I lost the whole thing. But! Points for me, I let him talk, and gave eye contact and all those other things one is supposed to do.
It balances out. Right?

So question: when a cleaning label says that it is ‘Safe for use around children and animals’  what about the adults? Is it trying to tell me that it is not safe to use around grown up adult shaped people? Because… that would be tricky.

Speaking of animals and children. Theo decided this morning that 5 was a perfectly suitable hour to get up. *blinks* Normally, not a problem for me. But as I took two Nyquil last night I am sort of groggy city this morning. So if this post is a little less than clear, well now you know why. Oh, and of course now what Theo has pottied and eaten, he’s back asleep. Pretty much thumbing his nose, ftw style, I think.  Nyquil has a weird effect on me. Makes things taste funny. This Castle quote sums it up best;

“This is quite possibly the worst coffee I’ve ever tasted. It’s actually kind of fascinating. It tastes like a… (pauses to sip the coffee) it tastes like a monkey peed in battery acid. Try some?”

No going back to bed for me, if I am good I will get to editing. Because it’s the right thing to do. Sort of wanna just read lots fanfictionthough. Decisions decisions.

I can’t believe it is Tuesday already, just as I can’t believe I am only posting chapter four in the new epic madness saga that is my fuffy fiction. *blink* I should be so much farther along, but, time tables and goals are awesome. They help my creative mind work in synchronicity with reality. I know, not much of a connection there, but enough. Maybe it just feels weird as I am currently writing out chapter seven, so to only post chapter four my brain is like… that was SO LONG ago. Doh.

Apparently there are not going to be any new episodes of CASTLE for a few weeks. Which makes me sad. What makes me glad is that DAMAGES started up again. I am DVR-ing them, as I need to finish getting caught up on Season Two. But then, oh yes, fun will be had.  And how annoying is it that I am so darn positive?

I am still quasi behind in work from being off last Friday, not sure why I am still behind, but apparently I am. Huh. Though, good news? I had my review and I am doing A-okay. Which yay! Maybe if I wasn’t at the top of the pay grade I would actually get a raise… but, being at the top of the heap, well I’ve not been granted a raise in 4 years now. WTF? *le sigh* Things could be worse, so I won’t dwell on it. (again positive… so strange)

I’m half way through the ‘Blood of the Fold’  book, for the second time. And I forgot how lacking it is in Kahlan. Bah. What gives? Well I know what gives, its setting the foundation for the other books to come, but still. I miss Kahlan. The only plus there is that Cara is finally in the books, though I forgot what a poop-er Richard was to her. That boy has some anger issues… I wonder why. *snicker*

I am thinking chili for dinner, because… well because it is already made and I am feeling lazy, that’s the because.

I am seriously debating taking some time off next month to get around to doing all those things I never seem to have time to do… but, I always fear the pile of work that is waiting for me when I return. Why can’t we be like, oh every other civilized country and have Holidays? Anybody?

Ah, dear sweet MOZ (morrissey) with your angst riddled catchy pop beats how I love thee.

So, WTF world? It’s only Wednesday? How is that possible. I swear we should be to late Thursday already. It just feels wrong for it to only be… today. *shrug* I need to find me someone who knows about time travel. I’ll make a note and get right on that.

I feel a little sorry and a little jealous for all the folks in the Midwest and back east getting hit with winter storms. Yesterday it was sunny and 50 degrees … again. Huh. What gives, and where did winter go? Because aside from those couple weeks where it was in the teens? It’s been down right balmy this year. For all you folks on the east coast and other places where it is actually still winter. This is for you.

Dear teenage boys. Take note, you are currently in your prime. You are as good looking as you will ever be. You are as physically strong as you will be, and you are virile as you will be. As in, it is all downhill from here. Me? I’m in my prime now, and can still kick your ass, yes  I am decades wiser than you. So. Fuck Off. (/rant)

No nothing specific happened, I just goofed yesterday and went to the corner grocery store just after school ended, so it was crawling with manner-less goons. *rolls eyes* Maybe I am just peeved that they see me and think old. Because I don’t feel old. I feel sort of young and cool. Bah. Whatever.

Castle this week was awesome. Next week, rerun *sad face* and the DVR hiccuped and didn’t record all the trashy fun that Bravo had on Monday night. *tear* But luckily Bravo replays everything like 15 times. So, I’ll have better luck this week. And I do know that most of those shows will rot my brain. I can’t help but be excited though, because RHWofNYC starts up again next month. WORD!

I just love the father daughter relationship on Castle. Nathan you are excellent at playing a softy. There were tears in my jaded eyes last night. There were!

Alright work, here I come!

To snatch a phrase; SRSLY? I watched the SB commercials, and if this who advertisers think the American people are? We are in troublllleee… And watching all of the commercials…that’s time I will never get back. *blank stare*

Can I just say, that as a writer some of the hardest things to write / edit are the parts you think would be so easy. Like sex. I know sex. I’ve had sex. I am fluent in sex. But writing it is such a chore. Especially when my head is in the place where I am not really thinking about sex, when I am not having sex. It’s this foreign thing. Sure I know I could omit it, but really fans of the genre would be like ‘wtf’… it sort of goes hand in hand. Can’t have one without the other. So. Just know, it isn’t easy. If you think it is easy, give it a try. I dare you. And conceptually, that this is hard for me, you know me, someone who used to be exceptionally prolific at writing all the NSFW prose. It’s… interesting.

So yeah. It’s Tuesday. I love Tuesdays. And after a lot of ‘OMG I am running out of time’ moments yesterday / last night / this morning the latest chapter is online. Shew. I did it. Go me.

Anyway.

You know I must be busy when I find I just spent 20 minutes randomly looking at every website in the world I can think of instead of you know, doing what I should be doing.
I know I am not the only one.

In TV news…So Mare totally got in front of the calling of comcast and told them to come get their overpriced modern recorder thing, etc. And they were alike, ‘but why?‘ and she was like ‘hello you are charging me way more money than I should have to pay for something where I have to watch commercials (OMG so true. We pay for cable programming, so why are there 50% more commercials???) and they were all ‘oh, we can fix that. Bam, here pay half.’ So! We are still going to be TV’d for atleast 6 months. Awesomeness times 10, because I can still DVR all my programs like a good TV junkie.
Speaking of. Castle. Wanna watch it. Will watch it. Tonight, over dinner. Yay!
