Nothing else matters ...

Cole's sick. I'm feeling under the weather. It's not fun. Driving home from work sucked, btw. I was feeling very poorly and I didn't enjoy it at all.

But enough about me.

O.o
O.O
o.O

Shush. I'm thinking.
Yeah. I got nothing.

So. Books.
Book #177 - At Grave's End (Night Huntress #3) by Jeaniene Frost - I LOVED THIS ONE! I'M SWOONING HERE!
Teaser Tuesday - Forgotten people, disappearing people and Cat & Bones (my favorite vampire/half-vampire couple EVER)!

I'm going to go watch Stargate Atlantis with the boy. He needs some quality time with me and the Pegasus Galaxay.
Later.

I finished my book!
Book #56 - In the Company of Ogres by A. Lee Martinez - When I read this book the first time I wasn't all that impressed with it. Especially when compared with A. Lee Martinez's first book, Gil's All-Fright Diner. I felt that this one was a little more forced. However, my re-read made me feel differently. It was quite good. Longer, definitely, which didn't make it a quick 3 hour book and much more densely written. Meaning that it actually took me a couple of days to read. That's nearly unheard of, you know. But it was good. Plot? Never Dead Ned has a problem - whenever he inconveniently dies he doesn't stay dead. On top of that he's been promoted to the position of Commander of Ogre Company, a position that has a notoriously short shelf life. A crazed magician is hunting him down. Demons are after him. Oh, and he might destroy the universe. How's he going to work his way out of this? Let the puns start rolling!

I don't know why I didn't journal yesterday. It just kind of slipped my mind. Weird. Maybe it was the massive amount of SG-1 episodes that Cole and I watched. The kid decided that he wanted to watch the pilot a few days back and all of a sudden we've watched into season 2. Crazy! It's been a while since I watched season 1. I don't remember a lot of what happened specifically. Just the general season arc. I'm trying to say that this is fun. Episodes! Marathoned with my kid!

I think I might go to the library tomorrow. Or maybe I'll check online to see if they have the two books I want before I go. That sounds like a better idea. No crazy running around looking for a book that isn't there.

I'm out!

I accomplished my goal of taking a nap today. In fact, I took two. I'm an overachiever like that. I napped while watching SG1 on Sci-Fi this morning (Okay, fine! That first nap took place around 9 because I'm really getting tired of waking up before 6 every day and felt like I deserved a nap that early.) and then again while Cole was watching the original Terminator movie (which I've watched twice in the last week-ish).

I got some good news today. First off, we'll have our home phone and internet connected at the house by the end of next week. I'm not sure why we were being asked to hook it up early, but it's done. We also have an appointment on Friday for the first walk-through. The second takes place about 3 days before we can move in so this is very exciting. It actually feels like it's going to happen. Not that it didn't before, but now ... awesome!

Did I mention that I watched SCC again? Yeah. I did. I still kinda wish that Derek and Sarah would have more interactions (of the sweaty, dirty type), but I'm dealing with my disappointment. I'm also not certain how I feel about Shirley Manson. I think I like her, but something about her kinda bothers me. I can't pinpoint what. I do, however, dig John's new hair. It makes him look tougher. John Connor needs that.

I think I'm done.
Later.

I'm watching SGA. The episode where Atlantis locks down and the team is trapped in different parts of the city. Awesome ep. When Ronon is stuck in the infirmary with Keller and she suggests finding a way to pass the time? The look on his face is awesome. And her backpedaling ... "Talk! I meant talk!" Hahahahahaha! I'd totally pass the time with him. If you know what I mean. Nope. There's no innuendo here!

It's still hot. Sadly, not sexy-hot, just sweaty-hot. Yuck.

I cut out of work around 1:30 today because I had to sign some paperwork for the house. It turns out the signing took about 3 minutes. Oops. I guess I miscalculated. My bad. Did I go back in to work? Umm ... no. I totally boxed up a bookcase instead. Look! It needed to be done. It was sitting there and I was sitting there and I was going to be hot whether I started boxing or not. So I did it. Yes, I live my life on the edge. Some people are just born rebels.

I love Teyla's maternity clothes. She looks so damn good. I'm fairly certain I didn't look that good when I was pregnant. Huh.

Okay. I'm done.

It's very, very hot. Yuck.

Today, I boxed up my closet. That was a little bit scary. It wasn't actually scary, but I kept finding more and more things that had to be put away. It was like the endless abyss of a closet. If only Ed Harris had shown up to help me. *sigh*

I also managed to watch 10-ish episodes of Stargate:Atlantis season 4. This was while boxing things up, mind you. Did I ever mention that I bought season 4 for a very frugal $5.99? I had a $25 gift certificate from Amazon. I used it wisely.

Tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter than today. I'm not thrilled by that. I think I'm going to appreciate being in my air-conditioned building. I don't say that often.

Okay. I'm back to watching SGA.
I hope I don't melt tonight. And I'm not talking figuratively.

Instead of watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics, I've been catching up on SGA. What? Ronon needed some love. Anyway. I'm recording them so that Cole can watch them later. It's not like I'm missing them entirely.

Tomorrow, my mom and I are tackling the dreaded toy closet to start boxing it up and sorting out what we're planning on selling a the garage sale. I'm so afraid.

Completely randomly, if you don't bank with my bank and you're going to stand at my teller's window and do nothing but complain ... well, you'd better be damn sure we're going to mock you later. Also, the fees we charge aren't how we make our money. So, suck it, non-customer! Suck it. And just possibly, use your own bank.

I am done.

Oh, oh! A new Stargate:Atlantis! And in other news ...

Book #66 - The Hollow by Agatha Christie - This book was much more lyrical than the others I read. It was ... more psychological? More human? I don't know. But it was MORE.

-and-

Book #67 - Cat Among the Pigeons by Agatha Christie - Okay, I didn't see this one coming. It kinda whoa-ed me. I love when I get to the end and I'm surprised by who the killer is but when I look back on it I see that all the clues were there for the taking. Brilliant.

*ahem* I need to read 3 more books this month to be on track for the year. I can totally do that.

Back to SGA!

I did not post yesterday. It was kinda fun. :)

While thinking bitchy thought to myself this morning about why I had an 8:00 conference call, I suddenly realized that I haven't finished a single damn book this month. I have, like, 50 pages left in the one I'm currently reading and I just can't seem to finish it. I hate that. I vow that I will finish it tomorrow. I have a solid 45 minutes that I can read during Cole's karate practice. I can get it done.

I'm making plans to get together with jenahville on Saturday. Cool.

And finally, I received my copies of Tin Man and Stargate: The Ark of Truth yesterday. I love amazon. And they love me. *blink, blink*

I'm done now.

Ahhh, Sunday. Sadly, it's the last day of my vacation. Boo. It's been raining on and off all day so Cole and I stayed in and were very, very lazy. Besides finishing my next book (and I'll get to that in a second) I really couldn't tell you what we did today. Wait. I'm having a memory ... Stargate Atlantis. I have things to say about that also!

Book #28 - Dark Possession by Christine Feehan - I wasn't terribly invested in this book in the beginning. I've read all the other books in the Carpathians series (this is the 18th) and I've enjoyed all of them and yet, for some reason, this book seemed ... I don't know how to describe it. The main character, Manolito, was nearly killed in the previous book and this one opened with him in the spirit world of his people being tormented by something evil. Ehh. Eventually, his lifemate (MaryAnn) figures out that he's still alive and that he's bound her to him and that her formidable psychic powers make her a prime target for the vampires. Somewhere in the middle of the book I realized that I was way into what was going to happen. In the spirit world we get to meet the former Prince of the Carpathians and learn about the great mistake he made that began the downfall of his people. The book ended up being very, very good and I'm looking forward to the next in the series.

( Now onto SGA! )

I totally meant to get some reviews up at blabapalooza but I was just ... lazy. I seriously have several that are ready to fall out of my head. I just need to sit down and let them tumble. Maybe I'll do that next. Or maybe I'll watch the Pokemon movie with Cole. :)

Wish me luck at work tomorrow. :/ I'm a little afraid. Who knows what crazy stuff happened in my week off.

I just saw a preview for Ghost Voyage on Sci-Fi and ... YES! Ghosts and ships at sea and a creepy guy who gives them the rules to survive which they immediately disregard! Bliss. I don't even know who "they" are. More to the point, who cares! Ghosts! On a ship! Woot!

I'm easily amused.

I don't think I mentioned that I had to buy the last disc of season 2 of Farscape again because my disc was all weird and it kept freezing in the middle of one of the episodes and the end of season 2 is utterly excellent. Anyway. I had to buy the last disc but since I had made my original purchase they've released the Starburst editions. Crap. Now I have 7 episodes on two discs instead of 4 on 2. This is seriously messing with me. Plus, the new packaging takes up a 3rd of the space of my old one. Dammit. I've re-bought all of season 2 and season 3 now. It's killing me that I'm re-buying it after all the money I spent originally. BUT! I will have much more room. I don't think I want to talk about this anymore.

Ha! Old school SG1! Daniel's hair. Too funny.

I didn't crack a book today. How does that make everyone feel? Like the world is going to end? Don't worry, I had that thought earlier when I realized that I don't even know which book I want to read next. This is what I have to say to all of you ... Shh, shh. It'll be alright.

I've had a really weird day. Can you tell? I had to pick Cole up from school around 1 because of this thing he's been fighting all week. My poor boy. He wanted to try to go to karate but I talked him out of it. Heck, if he's fighting both a headache and a stomachache why would he want to go grapple with other kids. Blech. That's sounds vaguely nauseating to me.

Dudes! I saw a picture of Morena Baccarin at Sundance and she's chopped off her hair. It's cute but it's way, way short. Maybe she's had it this way for a while but it's the first time I've seen it and it really surprised me. Of course she's still gorgeous. Damn her.

I think I've spoken my mind. I'm out.
