Given the choice you decided to stay blah blah blah science.
On Saturday I will officially be a quarter of a century old. How did that happen? I'm not okay with this.
My parents and the little brother will be coming up to see me for my birthday, so that's nice. We're planning to do a day trip to Busch Gardens since none of them have had a chance to hit the park this summer and I have comp tickets for them. Hopefully I'll be able to divorce my brain from "this is where I work" and have fun. Hit up some rides, wooo. It'll be good to spend time with my family.
Quick fandom updates:
- This week's Alphas was AMAZING. Eventually I might get sick of gushing about this show but right now I'm riding the new-fandom buzz. I want Bill and Gary to be awkward and terrible partners for ALWAYS. I'm less enthused about the Nina/Cameron hookup, but it has potential to not be mind-numbingly dull.
I want Alphas icons. :(
- I finally got hold of the new Dresden Files and am 18 chapters in. And seriously WHAT ON EARTH. Everything's gone to hell and I feel like Harry, floundering around trying to figure out what's going on. MOLLY, WHAT THE HELL? most of all. Although the fact that Ramirez isn't trying very hard to bring her down made me awww and pleased my shipper heart. Anyway, there's still a good chunk of book left so maybe things will start ... making sense. Or not. I don't know!
- I am now 14 episodes into The Pretender! And getting more and more addicted. Jarod is strangely lovable. I do feel like the writers don't actually know what's going on with the Center and Jarod's past, but whatever, I was an X-Files fan and a Lost fan; I can cope with writers making up mythology as they go along.
- My Swamp Thing reading is still ongoing, by the way. I'm buried in Vol. 2. I am now being slowed down largely by the fact that I am increasingly creeped out by the whole Alec/Abby romance. I realize this makes no sense as I happily shipped Matt/Abby which is creepy as hell, but arrrgh. I think it's made worse by the fact that none of the writers seem to realize how creepy it is that they're writing Abby as increasingly dependent on and even (literally?) addicted to Alec. And the hallucinogenic aspect of the relationship doesn't help. Although I kind of lol'd over the fact that in Abby's fantasy of a perfect future with Alec, Matt showed up all healthy and happy and "I signed the divorce papers! You clearly belong with him, not me! Let's be BFF! :D" Oh, Abby. Go seek therapy.
Oh, hey, other real life news: I will be moving to a proper apartment in the middle of September, for the rest of the duration of my job contract. YAY for no longer living in a cheap hotel room. *counts down days*
