I could drink a case of you ...

I wasn't going to journal today. Nope. I was planning on being computer free all day. Except for the computering I'm forced to do at work. However this plan has fallen by the wayside because Cole's not home and I have no one to bug until later when I have TV to watch. So, I'm bored. Not seriously bored. Just a little bored. Just in the realm of "hmm, what should I do for the next two hours" bored. I'm also not looking forward to the conference I have to go to tomorrow. But that's another story. I guess I could go finish one of my two currently-running-through-my-head SGA stories but... well, I'm wondering how much I'm going to like VM tonight.

Also, I can't type right now. Or spell. Or think very well. Sentences? Not so much. So, perhaps writing-writing isn't such a good idea.

Hailey sings with me in the car. So cute. Our current favorite song to sing together? Bang, Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down). We used to sing Bloodletting (The Vampire Song), but we've grown as people and are trying new things. Go, us!

You know what? These tags are getting hard to keep track of. I can't remember if I have tags for just generic TV talk or if I've started breaking it down by actual shows. I know I have tags for The X-Files and the Stargates but have I started with the new shows this season? Is Prison Break one of the chosen ones? I just can't remember. Yes, I could go to the tags page and see but that seems like work and I don't wanna.

What the heck. I have time on my hands.
I'm off.

computer-free? you?? ok, only a cylon would make such a bold comment. by the way, which of the 12 step program is "be computer free for a day."?

[soulswallo.livejournal.com]

Cylons don't need 12 step programs. I mean ... Who you calling a Cylon?!?!?! I'm no Cylon. Nope. Not me. I saw what they do to Cylons on the Pegasus. I'm 100% human. I can prove it too! Once, I totally shorted out my optical receptors so I wouldn't cry during Dead Poet's Society (also so I wouldn't have to watch it again! Geez, my high school friends needed to get a new movie!). For some reason that's when the rumors about me being a cold-hearted robot started. Weird.

geez i think the only way to cry during dead poet's society is with laughter.

well at least your HS friends didn't drag you to see 'top gun' in the theaters. by the way, how many O's are there in 'goose'?

[soulswallo.livejournal.com]

My sister made me see Top Gun in the theater. A different sister than I saw Tron with, btw.

And ... There are 2 O's in Goose!

Jay: Nastiest shit you've ever done? I'm talkin' about *nasty*!
Andy Stitzer: Ahhhhhhhh....wow. Soooo many stories are running through my head right now.
[pause]
Andy Stitzer: I dated this girl for a while... she was really a... nasty freak. She just loved to... get down with... sex all the time. It was like... anytime of day... she was like, "Yeah, let's go! I'm so nasty!" And I'd be nailing her and she'd be like, "Oh, you're nailing me! cool!"

whoa! is this a work story from your new job? damn, and all i get to talk about is fish...

[soulswallo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't have work stories like that. I'm all, "Today somebody came into the bank and made a deposit. The end." My stories suck.

OMG, me and Tristan sing Baby Shot Me Down, too! She goes, "Mommy. Mommy, listen. Bang bang." *dies of the cute*

Aren't kids the cutest?
PS- I love this icon.

Let's rewind a little bit and pick up with what happened to the raftaways after the raft blew up, shall we? Sawyer and Mercutio drift together, and bitch at each other, each blaming the other for attracting the Biker Gang Pirates, who kidnapped Walt. Jin's nowhere to be found. In the flashbacks, we learn that Walt's mother took him away. Well, I guess we didn't "learn" it so much as "watched it boringly unfold for the sole purpose of seeing Mercutio give Walt a stuffed polar bear, apparently." Future flashbacks involving Walt will include him watching those Coca-Cola commercials with the polar bears.
And we rewind to watch Locke go down after Kate in the hatch (next week, are we going to rewind and watch Kate enter?) and wind up with Desmond's gun in his face. Down the hatch-hole, that computer with the angry emoticon prompt is used to reset some sort of timer. The PIN? The sequence of numbers you've all memorized by now. Thanks to Locke's quick thinking, Kate's able to untie herself and she's creeping along the air ducts, so she's able to watch the standoff between Desmond and Jack (and almost inadvertently take a bullet), as well as displaying what wasn't so much cleavage as her entire rack. That's a good Alberta girl right there.

Not much more is revealed about Desmond's motivation, just that he's apparently waiting for someone. His replacement? He asked Locke, "Are you him?", and Locke, clearly having seen Ghostbusters, wisely answers that he is, but can't maintain the charade, which is when Jack enters and we stop at the same point we ended last week.

Out on the raft, Mercutio and Sawyer quit arguing like children in order to switch their raft for a bigger raft. Mercutio shoots a shark instead of jumping it (the shark has a logo on its tail that's the same as the one scattered throughout the hatch).

They finally wash up back on some other section of the island, and hear Jin yelling and shouting, and then he comes running up to them, hands bound behind his back. His English is coming along; he croaks out "Others!" who are indeed coming, armed and not so fabulous.

Umm ... still haven't watched this one yet.

Hi, you guys, Meg Manning here. So, I know you guys like her, but Veronica Mars is like, such a bitch! First, she acts all too good to help a basketball player who claims he falsely tested positive for drugs, when all she's doing is slinging coffee and biscotti to the locals, and...what? Oh, fine, I'll tell you who was at the door. It was Logan, but even his biggest fan didn't have time to squee, since he was covered in blood. Turns out he booted Weevil in the face, knocking him out, and the bikers beat Logan up. When he came to, he was on the ground with a knife in his hand next to Felix's bloody corpse. He barely had time to get his story out before Deputy Leo came to arrest him. Leo was just jealous, I bet. Logan got off the charge of killing Felix due to lack of evidence. But his release led to a rift between Veronica and Weevil (go, Biker Boy!), as well as some festering violence between 09ers and bikers. However, Logan was still pals with Dick and Beaver (who are in the opening credits, now), and even Veronica was getting along with the Casablancas boys, at least temporarily. Although she may not be too psyched if Logan keeps ogling their stepmother, Charisma Carpenter. How do you like them apples, Veronica? Also, the Kane parents are up in Napa being boozehounds, although I'm not sure how they're testifying at their trial, and Aaron Echolls is in jail. Tension between the neo-Jets and the neo-Sharks escalates, culminating in Veronica dumping Logan. She's doing you a favor, honey! Oh, speaking of breaking up, did I tell you Duncan totally dumped me on the last day of school right after he learned Veronica wasn't his sister? Tacky, right? According to Veronica, he made a play for her and succeeded, but I know she batted her eyes at him as she poured his coffee and slipped him some free Danish. Cooze! (I just learned that word. I still cringe a little when I say it.) So in the present, Wallace gets busted for drugs too, as do various other athletes, including me. Since precious Wallace is in trouble, Veronica comes back into the detective fray. Of course, she tried to talk to me, but I was all "Step! Off!" I've never said that to anyone. It felt good. So it turns out that the beneficiaries of all these benchings are the children of officers of some corporation called "Boatloads of Fun," so now I'm back on the cheer squad, but I bet Veronica's dad (who's totally writing a book about the Lilly Kane case, btw) was the one who figured that out. I don't hate him for fathering a harlot. She probably gets it from her mom, lol! Some new girl named Jackie Cook, whose dad was a Hall of Fame baseball player, is in the opening credits too. (They were going to put me in, but my agent totally said to hold out for more money. Cross your fingers!) So I get stuck going on a school trip to a baseball field to meet Cook and mayoral candidate Steve Guttenberg, like I even care about baseball if I'm not cheering, and of course the Couple That Must Not Be Named is along for the ride. (Good one, huh? Being snarky is fun.) So then the Casablancas boys get hold of a limo and save the CTMNBN from the school bus, and they offer me a ride too but I'm all "As. If." But then the bitch has the nerve to get on the bus and try to talk to me again! But she gets distracted sort of making up with Weevil at a gas station and I tell the bus driver to leave. Ha! So now we're just heading home and...hey, aren't we going kind of fast toward that cliff? The one without the guardrail? Oh, crap! I'm totally firing my agent. I wonder if Brad Bufanda and Amanda Seyfried want to have drinks sometime?

(and since you missed it...)

Sheriff Tom declares a quarantine of Homestead, and is also in charge of the whole relief effort. Dave is still in the hospital. Russell finds an injured military scuba diver at the ranger station, and the diver has injuries that look a whole lot like the ones Dave got in the swamp from the mysterious non-gator creature. Mariel finds a weird pod-like thing that seems to be living in the scuba diver's head wound. Jesse and Rose are creeped out by their pod mother, so they sneak out and go to Russell's house. Mariel gives the pod-like thing to Russell for testing, and reveals that she didn't even notice that her kids left her house. Mariel confesses to Sheriff Tom that she hasn't been feeling herself lately, and Sheriff Tom blames it on overwork. Dave and Russell go back to check out the skeleton they found, but it's...gone! Larkin goes to interview the diver's wife, and it turns out that she thought her husband was still stationed overseas and didn't know he was in the hospital. Sheriff Tom and Mariel take the kids back, like, is the whole episode going to be about the kids going back and forth between their parents? Larkin wants to do a big news report about the military diver, but her boss informs her that the diver is dead. Mariel lost her wedding ring while she was out in the hurricane overnight, and Russell and Dave find a wedding ring in the trunk of the car where the skeleton once was. Gasp! Rose confides in Sheriff Tom that she saw the lights, and Sheriff Tom says that he saw them too.

Like I said ... not mind blowing, is it?
