Apparently, this video has been making the rounds, but today was the first I had heard or seen it.
you can have mine. I'll even pay the shipping. Here I am, all excited to go to bed early (please ignore the fact that it's Friday, I'm tired!), I walk into my bedroom and start looking for my pajamas when, "oh my, what is that on the towel on my bed?" (I put one down at the foot for the cat to sleep on). "Oh joy, vomit" But hey, at least it's on the towel. But what is that NOT on the towel. What is that next to the towel? Poop. POOP!!!!
So, anybody want a cat? Only thing I can guarantee is that she won't like you.
Because I tweeted yesterday. And not just my horoscope.
Argh, day three and I already missed a day. In my defense, I was sad. My mom had been visiting for three weeks and she left yesterday. Saying goodbye was hard, but mostly okay, work was fine, going home sucked. Empty apartment. So, I drowned my sorrows in my last diet dr. pepper and over-buttered popcorn and birthday cake. No, there isn't any left. I read crappy, crappy novels and watched tv and then I went to bed. Oh, I sorted out a Scholastic order in there, too. And blogging didn't even cross my mind.

argh. What can I say? Mondays are rough and that was without going to the gym tonight. Yes, I joined one and that gets its own post. Today was ped day, then I gave blood and then it was pub quiz. Last week, we came 3rd, this week it was down to 9th, but it was a rough week for categories. Next week, we'll be back.
There. A post is up. On the 2nd.
I have loved this show from the start. I watch it, I buy the dvds and watch it again, I talk about it with friends, and push others to watch it. But, this season, it's losing me. It started off absolutely superb with Andre Braugher, but 13 is still a character (and while I liked her better than most of the other potential team members two/three seasons ago, she now annoys the hell out of me) and Jennifer Morrison is leaving. I can't watch anymore. I'm bored by it and I'm not emotionally invested in any of the characters. House seems static; Cuddy, I dunno where she's gone and Chase w/o Cameron? Please. Why can't Cameron stay and 13 go away? That would be much, much better.
I haven't watched it in a couple of weeks, and I'm okay with that. Last season and the one before seemed to be the peak of excellent tv viewing, this season, not so much. Three Rivers? Bring back Moonlight and scrap 3 Rivers and I say that as someone who LOVES Pittsburgh. I was so excited that there was a tv show set in my favorite American city (outside of D.C., of course), but then I watched it. Once.
CSI:NY, they pulled back from the precipice, but I gotta tell you, the first time Danny rolled into view in the premiere, I just started to laugh. Totally cracked up and I nearly turned the computer off right then. Are you kidding me? But, they saved themselves with Flack and Sid.
I have started watching Flashpoint, all the way back to the beginning. I love Canada! This is an excellent show, though I don't know if law enforcement up north is really this empathetic and compassionate, but what a lovely idea. And it doesn't get bogged down in personal crap. I'm glad they lost the Sam/Jules storyline because continuing that? I probably would have quit watching.
So, here we begin another year's NaBloPoMo. Let's see if I make it.
yeah, yeah, I never post. And this one's a cop out because it's a Last Train Home song. Today is the 40th anniversary of the moon landing. I can't even articulate the wonder I feel at watching us walk on the moon. SO, watch this instead. Moves me to tears every time!
This is the last book that I read for the 48 hour Book Challenge. I finished a scoche past 9pm CET. I went to sign in for the Finish Line, but I couldn't find that post, so here I am.
I think I ended up reading for about 16 hours. I enjoyed eleven books, some of which had been waiting for me for three years.
I think I will set aside another weekend (after the papers, after the deep cleaning of the apt) to read more. :)
I haven't read much by Bruchac, and this one was quite creepy, but I loved Molly and the interweaving of Mohawk lore. Yeah, it went pretty quick.
]]>This has been on the "to be read" shelves for a while. Just a quick, not quite a mystery but cute story about adjustment to a new life. KayKay (this nickname drove me nuts and wanted me to smack someone) is the oldest daughter of the first female president. She wants to be a mystery writer, is lousy at math, but good in the kitchen and has a strong personality. Nice way to breeze through 45 minutes or so.
Just spent an hour and a half reading Haunting at Home Plate by Patneaude and Who's Got Spirit?, part of the How I Survived Middle School? series by Nancy Krulik.
One is baseball, the other peer pressure. I thought the Patneaude was better and had a much more open-ended ending than I expected. Middle School was somewhat formulaic and fluffy, but hey, who doesn't like a little fluff? The quizzes were cute and the story nice. I wouldn't want stuff like this to be the only thing a pre-teen girl reads, but it sure beats the Weather Fairies, etc...
