Nothing else matters ...

I have Day 18 up for the 30 in 30 at blabapalooza. The rest of the week will be the Reign of the Sea Monster! I'm not only having fun writing these, I'm also having fun watching them! Sea Monsters of the world, UNITE!

It's hot here. It's still 65F. That means that I'm going to be sleeping with the windows open. I get such a hurricane force breeze through here when I do that.

I watched last week's The Office earlier. I didn't actually enjoy it all that much so I'm just going to move along. I'm just going to throw it out there that sometimes Michael is just too much for me. I just stop wanting to watch him.

Cole wants to watch Push. Cool.

I have another sea monster movie to watch. I should totally get to it. I'll catch Lost tomorrow. Hopefully. Sometimes it takes me a day or two. Or a week. Whatever. My rule of thumb is that I have to have the eps watched before the next one airs.

I'm out!

I got back not too long ago from malkovich03's bridal shower. I won the contest for knowing Mal the best! Awesome! I also got to announce my fear of clowns loudly to the room when I looked over and realized that I was standing next to a curio cabinet full of ceramic clowns. Yikes! What would make someone collect something like that? I think severed hands would be a more appropriate thing to collect, don't you? I can already hear oddmonster nodding vigorously. :)

I caught up on the shows I'd bypassed earlier this week (mostly for being utterly exhausted, thank you) - Supernatural was good and for some reason this season's main story arc makes me want to finish off the story I wrote last year dealing with Dean's deal into Hell. The Office was pretty damn good. That said, I don't feel quite as invested in the characters as I was back when I marathoned the first 3 seasons like someone on crack. SGA is still good. I'm still in love with Ronon. Naturally.

And now my DVR is empty. How sad.

I'm going to go finish my book.
Later.

ETA - Book #96 - Sorceress of Darshiva: Book Four of the Mallorean by David Eddings - Now this series is really moving. The heroes are on the brink of learning where the final battle will take place to defeat the Child of Dark and raise a new God is Mallorea. Awesome.

Last year I was forced to lament the fact that I hadn't seen a 2008 car registration sticker yet in February. I can officially say that I have seen my first 2009 sticker today. Whoo-hoo! It was blue! I was all giddy and breathless and then I realized that I was getting all giddy and breathless over a REGISTRATION STICKER and I forced myself to stop.

Oh, the life I lead. It is exciting. It is overwhelming. It is beyond the pale. Also, I was told that I looked like Angela from The Office today after I put my hair up in a ponytail. It was then pointed out to me that I am both planning an office party and I've commandeered my own committee for it. True. I told two of the guys I work with that they WERE GOING TO HELP ME PLAN THIS THING IF IT KILLED ALL OF US. Then I pushed my Staples Easy button and smiled.

Seriously, sometimes life is just too fun.

I have tomorrow off. My grandma wants me to go shopping with her. Okay. I'm pretty sure I can buy Christmas presents. Woot!

I'm crazy and I'm done now. 'Night!

The lovely neversince asked me about these 7 icons when I commented on her meme. I'm too damn lazy to ask others to do it, so here are my answers with out any of the other stuff ...

( look here! )

Okay. My computer is nominally working. I really hope this decides to post. Also, Cole has finished with his temper tantrum. I'm glad. It was making me tired.

I have the worst headache right now. Blech.

I got a pretty awesome gift from kimbrchick in the mail today. The Office season 3. Woot! Thank you, Kim! If my head wasn't about to roll off my shoulders I'd be watching it right now. Instead I'm reduced to staring at the cover and thinking happy thoughts. :/

I want to buy some new clothes from Victoria's Secret. However, I'm so indecisive that I just keep staring at the catalog. Bummer.

I have decided to battle my headache by watching Lake Placid. What? It might work.

Cole started with his new teacher(s) today. Oh, I think I forgot to mention that his school had a sudden influx of kinders and they had to reallocate all the classes. Cole is no longer in a 2/3 combo class with his teacher from last year. He is now in a straight 3rd grade class with two teachers who are team teaching. I met one of the teachers today (oh, I also didn't go to work today) and she seems nice. I'm sure it's disruptive for them to suddenly have 4 new kids in the class. *shrug* I guess they'll work around it.

I need to lie down.

Okay. Here's my quick update ... I'm almost finished dl-ing FNL. Then I will begin watching. And squeeing. I KNOW there'll be squee-age because everyone else is in that special squee-place when they watch it. I'm just preparing myself for massive love and obsession. I'm not sure if I'm ready to let The Office be removed from my #1 obsession spot, but I'm willing to give FNL the chance to try.

In news that is not related to TV or fandom - We're having Hailey's 4th birthday party today. We shall be grilling hot dogs for the masses and eating watermelon. Yum. Also, just for the record, Cole has been banned from trying to eat as many hot dogs in 2 minutes as he possibly can. I just can't allow any hot dog eating contests in my house. *shakes head* I kinda wonder why my mom felt the urge to bring that up.

I think I might take Hailey and Cole to the Build a Bear workshop at Valley fair tomorrow morning. That was our gift to Hailey and I know Cole desperately wants to go soon, so I might as well do it tomorrow.

I'm also going to book my hotel soon for my annual trip to Disneyland. Usually, Cole and I stay at the Disneyland hotel, but I think I'm going to try the California Grand this time. For one thing, it's cheaper over the week I want to go because they have a special where you get the 4th night free. I mean, I might as well stay at the cheaper place that's closer to Disneyland, right? Also, the hotel backs into California Adventure! That means that I'll be able to walk out of the hotel and be in the park! Awesome. At this point, I've made the decision where and when, I'm just waiting to see which family members will be joining us. Will it be just Cole and I? Or will my mom tag along? Do you see the issues I'm facing?

I cleaned my room last night to Kelly Clarkson. Yeah, she's another of my new obsessions. *sly grin*

For the lovely tlace, I plan on going on (in DEPTH) about The Office. Soon. Be warned.

That is all.

I'm feeling extremely blah today. Every time I move I get a case of the dizzies. It's really not as fun as you'd think.

I've also found, to my chagrin, that being alone in my house does not lead to good sleeping. EVERY LITTLE NOISE is waking me up. It's so damn annoying. On top of that, last night I was absolutely certain that some creepy monster fresh from the gave was trying to poke his finger in through my window and point at me. Yeah, the pointing part doesn't seem so scary until it's the middle of the night and you are COMPLETELY certain that a corpse-like finger is coming through the window at you.

I'll admit that I slept with my computer on last night. It's kinda like my night light. It makes the scary things not so scary. Which is awesome.

Oh, and my mom's cat woke me up at 6 this morning to be fed. Umm ... day off. Please, no waking up early.

Wow, I really feel like I'm being the queen of petty complaints. Pshaw! I'm not taking any of it back. Monster-ish fingers were coming for me and I'm not sleeping well and I miss my boy. :( I also had some errands to run, but the dizzy thing makes me not want to drive. So, I won't. Which means that I'm hanging around the house all day. Alone.

And, gosh, I haven't watched a single episode of The Office yet. I'd best remedy that RIGHT NOW! Perhaps I should mention that in lieu of watching, I've been reading Jim/Pam fanfic. There, now I feel better about myself as a person.

I'm out.

There are so very many things I could be doing right now. Or maybe I should say that I should be doing. I should be reading a book. I should be ... no, that was the only thing. Bummer. I COULD be making sound clips of The Office. Yes, the obsession level is as high as ever.

Obsession Level: Midnight!

One of the guys at work is totally into The Office so I can throw quotes out at him randomly and get a laugh. Cool.

Okay. I thought this week of being home alone would totally ROCK! But no. It's kinda boring. Which isn't to say that I don't enjoy watching TV on the big TV. Because I do. But I have to entertain myself. That's not as fun as you'd think. After making myself dinner for tonight and lunch for tomorrow I found myself at loose ends. Usually, I have to get Cole ready for bed and make sure he's done all the things that an 8 year old needs to do to be ready for tomorrow. Now? Not so much. I'm turning into a slug.

Btw, I was talking to my mom earlier and she announced that Cole's a natural at shooting the pellet gun. He hits the can-target more times than he misses it. I'm scared. Does that mean that he's going to be asking me for a pellet gun for Christmas? Where would he shoot it? Yikes. You know, you can put your eye out with one of those! /Christmas Story.

I'm going to go do something. And it will probably be Office related. :)

It's still hot, but it's still not as hot as yesterday.

I'm thinking about changing my user name. But I don't why or what I'd change it to.

I'm up to on my re-watch of . And I love it even more the second time around. Awe.some

Cole and the fam leave early tomorrow for a week in Washington state. I'm going to have a week to myself. Crazy. I'm also going to have some fun with jenahville, kimbrchick, debalita and malkovich03. Movies! Whoo! Although Mal won't be able to come over until after work. Boo.

I need to get Cole to sleep since we're leaving for the airport before 7. Early!

It's now 12:20 and my dl is sitting at 99.1%. See my icon. That's me. Right now. *headdesk*

PS - The Family of Blood episodes for were awesome! For the record, that means I'm actually doing some of the things on my vacation list besides watching . Go, team me!
