Random Thursday
1. Almost Friday! I get to look forward to Fridays again because I don't have shit to worry about all weekend, I will get to clock out and turn off my work brain until Monday. Yay!
2. My mom is making herself a Bible Story quilt, it has a panel for every book of the bible. I amused myself by trying to convince her that Abraham needed to be arrested for attempted murder for trying to sacrifice his kid because "God told him to." She was not as amused as I was. I was pretty proud that I could ID 95% of the panels, but I don't remember why Elijah was important.
3. I don't know if I have talked about my new reality TV problems (Totally missed SYTCD on Tuesday - dramatic.) but I *love* the new faux-reality show, SIBERIA. It's not real but it's filmed like a real one would be, with confessionals and tag-along-cameramen and CHICKEN MONSTERS. Seriously, the monster's footprints look like giant chicken tracks. I know that it is low budget because we never *see* the monster even though it randomly has been eating people (it ate a tiger, you guys - Siberian tigers are endangered! SAD.) Why don't more shows have Chicken Monsters? I would run from a regular sized chicken, believe me I would TOTALLY RUN faster if a chicken MONSTER was chasing me. I wish more people would watch so I could talk about it.
4. What else.
5. Anyone hear that rumor that Katie Holmes is dating Jamie Foxx? WEIRD.
6. I don't really like twerking, I think it's vulgar and don't really see the value of it other than it being dancing for normal people (i.e. dryhumping in the club which is what I consider normal people dancing) but is it really such a big deal that Miley is getting all this hate? As I was telling my friend who says she hates her & she blames it on the fact that she has a kid now; I think I like her more for her 'don't give a fuck, I'm rich' attitude. I used to hate her when she was a polished Disney princess, but I give the girl props now for doing what she wants. Man, I wish I was pretty and famous, I would be twerking all over town. And that's gross.
ETA: This makes me sound like a prude, but I'm really not - twerking falls under that same umbrella as non-pants (i.e. hotpants/shorty shorts) where it just makes me uncomfortable. I just don't find it valid in any way - but I respect those that do. It's just weird.
7. I have SO MUCH TIME to write at work now, it's crazy. But I usually get about 2500 words into something, get bored and start something else. This is a longstanding concern of mine. I have 20 pages of worldbuilding and outlining at home for an original story about a sociopathic villain but I'm scared to bring it to work because I will forget it and be sad. So I'm here pulling things out of my ass to write and failing to finish. Silverweave gave me a cute plotbunny that I hope to get written this pm, and it's OC related, so that should be fun.
8. Starting in September, FAMILY FEUD will be on every night from 6-7pm. This brings me much joy.
ETA2: Internet explorer is the BANE of my existence. Why is something this awful standard for the workplace? It's FUCKING AWFUL. It says the ad-blocker is activated but I still get ads and there is no tab functionality and BING can go fuck itself. WTF. RAGE.
