Uggh. I just got home from my hair appointment. This was a damn long day. And tomorrow looks to be just as bad at work since it's the day before a holiday. But back to my hair. It's a bit blonder than it was before. I think I like it.

You wanna know what grinds my gears? When Victoria's Secret has charged me for something and not yet shipped it out to me. Gah! I'm almost ready to cancel the order, have them refund me the money and give up on the damn thing. It's so annoying.

I liked last night's Heroes. I found it to be quite satisfying.

I have upheld my vow to journal for one more day. go, me!

I've decided that I'm going to do my best to post every day until the end of the year. That's not too crazy an idea. I've posted for longer periods than that in the past. I CAN DO IT!

For the record and although this may not be the most popular opinion, I'm enjoying this season of Heroes. And I refuse to recant this opinion. I like the show. I like seeing Peter all nekkid and being hosed down. Good times, people. Good times.

Oh, I have so much insane work stuff to tell but seeing as I don't want to think about work when I'm not at work ... no. I'll tell, just not now.

I think I'm going to watch Bones now.
'Night.

My sister kinda hurt my feelings. She didn't do this intentionally. Truly. She just has such a FREAKING LOUD voice that everything she says carries. And in this particular instance she was talking about me. Or, more to the point, the way that my parenting skills differ from hers. I'm trying not to get all butt-hurt about it because I know my sister. She just finished taking a parenting class and those professionals who taught it must be telling the gospel truth (in her opinion) because they have degrees. Or whatever. Never mind that there are a million and two different theories on child-rearing out there. And never mind that no one theory will ever work for every single child out there.

I guess that what's bugging me is the righteous tone she gets in her voice.

I don't want to think about it anymore.

Last night's Heroes episode was called LIZARDS, right? The book I'm reading right now has goblins that are descended from lizards. These goblins lick their own eyeballs all the time. When they were talking about lizards in the episode, I kept imagining Claire licking her eyeballs. That's kinda gross. And disturbing. Yep, really disturbing.

I'm going to watch TV now.

I'm ashamed to admit that I nearly forgot that today was the season premiere of Heroes. In fact, if one of my co-workers hadn't mentioned it I probably would have forgotten. Boo. My brain has seriously fried itself. It's gnawing on itself as we speak. Does that mean that my brain is a cannibal? Because, ewwww.

Okay. I'm having problems spelling tonight. That annoys me. Plus, my wrist feels perfectly awful. Pain is not as fun as I've been led to believe.

Therefore, I'm going to go. And look at my new Victoria's Secret catalog. Do you know that if you order from VS you get approximately 4 new catalogs a week? It's exciting. I always get mail!

later.

I had one of those days where you don't actually do anything and I think I'm getting a little bored now. We did the barbeque thing with the fam (OMG! The best steak ever!) and now everyone's gone home and Cole's going to be going to bed soon and I'm kinda at a loss. I've been burning episodes of Cole's cartoons to DVD all day and I still feel like I have so, so much to do. I honestly can't believe the amount of shows I dl for that kid.

I still don't know what book to start next. I'm leaning toward another Anne McCaffrey re-read, but I'm not sure if I'm in the mood for that. Hmmph!

I'm completely in a Heroes marathon place. Completely. However, I want to be able to have a whole bunch of uninterrupted time to watch, watch, watch until my eyes bleed. You know, Friday night would have been a good time to start that. Or Saturday. Or Saturday night. *face palm* Why didn't I?

I'm out.

My mom conned me into going to a craft store with her today. Well, she didn't actually con me, she asked me if I'd go with her and I said yes. I always feel mildly guilty when I go to a craft store and don't buy anything. I feel like I should buy a roll of ribbon or something. I don't know what I'd do with the ribbon once I bought it, but the thought is always there that I should buy something. Even if I have no use for it. Anyway. I went to the store with my mom and then she sprung on me that she needed to go to the fabric store. Oh, cringe. The last time I went with her to the fabric store the registers all crashed and we were standing in line FOREVER to pay. It sucked. I'm pretty sure I'm scarred for life. Plus, the fabric store smells funny. My mom claims that it's just how fabric smells, but I stand by the fact that it smells funny.

No, I'm not crafty and I have no patience for sewing.

While we were driving to the fabric store my mom launched into a long winded story about how she used to buy some of her craft supplies from one online site, but then she found another one and the prices and selection were so much better that she had to switch. It was one of those conversations where I found myself drifting off halfway through and have no idea what was actually said. And I still have no patience for either sewing or crafts.

Also, my hairstylist called me early this morning to see if I wouldn't mind changing my appointment to tomorrow morning. *sigh* Okay. It's no big deal. I just ran all my errands today so that tomorrow I can go get my hair done and then be a big slug.

I've been watching the Heroes marathon on Sci-Fi off and on all day today. I still want to watch it from beginning to end, but the bits and pieces I caught were quite satisfying. I really want some more Heroes icons but I can't find any good communities. That kinda sucks.

That is all.

I'm very excited about tonight's Heroes. Speaking of TV, I'm nearly completely caught up on all my shows. I haven't watched the finale of Jericho yet, but everything else is in the bag. That isn't to say that I won't fall behind on this week's episodes, but as of this moment I'm sitting pretty.

I'm still very tempted by the thought of both a Heroes and a Farscape marathon. The more I think about it the better it sounds.

Yuck. I need to dust. It's becoming gross.

I have nothing else to say.

I am completely in a place to have a Heroes marathon and a Farscape marathon. Simultaneously. I'd start Farscape at season 2, I think. Obviously, Heroes would start with the first episode. Anyway. I was hit by the marathon bug earlier this week and it's been gnawing at me. I just might have to give in.

Did I mention that I have to work tomorrow? Blech.

I think I'll watch some SGA before going to bed. Word.

My internet connection went ka-blooey all day yesterday. That blew.
Since I couldn't get online, I made wallpapers. *g*

>>added to Bay 12
>>Hayden and Milo pics from Heroes Media
>>1280x1024
>>comments are always appreciated
>>These are my memories ...



As always, I also have them in [1280x800]. Just ask and they're yours.

Oh, yeah. My branch is having it's annual audit tomorrow. I did so much work today that my brain hurts. It.Hurts. I will be at work at 7 in the morning tomorrow. That's early. Especially since I need to drop Cole off by 6:30 to get to work by 7. Suck.

I'm afraid that I'm going to have work dreams. You know, the ones where you get buried by a mound of work-related paper or have to yell at customers or show up in your underwear. Yeah, one of those. Fun.

I'm out.

After last week's super AWESOME Heroes episode, I find myself really looking forward to tonight's ep. Fandom!Yay!

I'm completely in the mood to make more wallpapers. That said, I'm also very tired and the thought of even starting a wall seems very daunting. I'm game for it. I think. It just seems like a monumental task. Also, anything I make might end up looking like those I made yesterday. *shrug* Sorry.

My new plan for eating better has started out pretty well. I'm all PMS-y so I refuse to weigh myself, but I feel better. Plus, I can tell that I have more energy already. Which is funny since I've been dog-tired lately. I guess that when you feel a little more jazzed than usual you shouldn't try to do mondo amounts of stuff at work and burn yourself out. I'm just saying.

I'm going to create in the scant amount of time before Heroes starts.

I made a couple of wallpapers today. I was completely inspired by an awesome fanmix made by [livejournal.com profile] literarylemming (thank you for the inspiration, btw) to hunt down new Heroes pics. Next thing I knew I was making the art. Yay!

>>If nothing else, I can dream.



I think I've become a Peter/Claire shipper. I didn't mean to. Especially after finding out their relation to one another. Still, they have some damn fine chemistry onscreen. Damn fine.

Anyway. I have them both in widescreen [1280x800] but they're not uploaded. So, if you want them you gotta shout it out.

Lastly, since [livejournal.com profile] oddmonster asked with such enthusiasm, the books I recently bought from Amazon are ...
In the Company of Ogres by A. Lee Martinez
Agents of Light and Darkness, Hex and the City, and Nightingale's Lament by Simon R. Green
The Dark Flight Down by Marcus Sedgwick
Un Lun Dun by China Mieville (ps, there's a little accent over the first "e")

I also bought (recced by the lovely and talented Sepra) Eat to Live by Dr. Fuhrman because I've been looking for a good book to buy on how to eat better and she recced it at the perfect time. Serendipity, my friends. Serendipity.

I've seriously gone on long enough.

Guess what I find to be one of the most annoying things in the world. Okay. Okay. I'll tell you. I find it incredibly annoying when I have to go in to work on my day off. Yeah. I had to do that today.

Yuck.

Heroes babblings )

Cole and I are watching Jake 2.0 on Sci-Fi and we're enjoying it so much. I have to admit that it's pretty darn engaging.

I'm off.

Oh.My.Gods. It is so damn cold in my house that it almost hurts. -pause to get a blanket- Slightly better.

I have an odd observation to make about Ebay. Every day I drive past their main office (located in scenic Campbell, CA. Although the Wikipedia entry states that it's located in San Jose. I find that a little wierd since it's just down the street from my branch which is most certainly located in Campbell. However, the city lines might be drawn in such a random fashion that it actually is in San Jose. That's all beside the point and I should get back to my story ...) and I feel strangely proprietary about the entire company. It's weird, I know. I used to take their deposits back when I was a teller. I knew who they were before I knew what they were. If that makes sense. And yet ... I've neither bought nor sold anything with them.

I don't know what I'm trying to say anymore.

Still cold.

Did anybody else like Heroes last night? *raises hand* Oh, and could somebody explain to me what Niki's power is? I'm kinda maintaining that she just has a creepy split personality.

Life is calling me. :)

I find that I'm very excited about Heroes tonight. Very.Excited. Which isn't surprising since it's a good show. I don't really know where I was going with this.

I remembered over the weekend that I had never watched the last 2 eps of SG1 or SGA before they went on their mid-season hiatus. I've now watched one of the eps of SGA. I'm glad to finally be getting caught up with the watching.

All of a sudden I'm sleepy. Just a little, but still.

I'm out.
