Ambitiousness won again at work today, so I finally have some time to sit and let you all know how I felt about last weeks fall lineup premiers.

Family Guy (FOX); premiered Sunday, Sept. 23
Truth be told, I was a little disappointed by this season’s Star Wars parody opener. The Bush bumper sticker on the Imperial Star Destroyer was funny, as was ( Read more... )

I decided to channel some of last night's anger at yesterday's court ruling into making some icons. I like some of these a lot better, although I'm still having a tough time getting the hang of this. But, obviously, I do better work when I want to fit someone for a pair of cement shoes. Enjoy!

It's that time of year again, and, much like the rest of the nation, I'm gearing up for my fall TV lineup.  Heroes has been on hiatus since the wrapping of the first season waaay back in April and I am happy to finally have Stargate: Atlantis return to Sci Fi.  But there's also a lot of new shows I can wait to lay my peepers on, as well as a few I' ( Read more... )

Another Monday came and went, heralding the week of hell to follow.  Since I stayed up late cleaning on Sunday night, I woke up late and, consequently, got into work late.  Then I had a meeting which kept me from doing anything newspapery until after noon.  When I finally did get myself motivated, I was set back by an office-wide e-mail malfunction ( Read more... )

For my birthday, I bought myself the Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Chosen Collection - that's all seven seasons brought together in this nifty collectors box; enough slayericiousness to bring out the best in my couch potatoey self.

When I sat down to watch the first disk - two weeks and two days ago - I decided to make it a personal challenge to ( Read more... )

Heroes?  Can we say "kickass?"  I think we can.

Dear Heroes,

It is almost heart-wrenchingly impossible to put into words how much I absolutely love you.  There is no physical way my heart can contain so much love without it bursting uncontrollably when you thrill me the way you do.  When Peter goes all Hiroshima on New York's ass, I don't think I'm going to be able to take it.   That being said ( Read more... )

Last night's Heroes rocked - at least what I saw of it between Aislinn's constipation and ear-bleeding shrieks.  Peter is no longer as lame as I once thought him to be now that he can tear some shit up.  And I'm excited to see the direction the season itself is going in.  Isaac's a dumbass (bang, bang, baby!) Heck, I almost felt sorry for HRG too ( Read more... )

I had my first day of work already.  I know I said I was going to start Monday, but in order to prevent an overlap and keep my benefits, I had to go in and do a whole bunch of nothing yesterday.  Despite all the drama leading up to it, day one itself was actually pretty uneventful, though, I admit, it was a great feeling to be a working girl again ( Read more... )

So I managed to cut the cord and separate myself from my PC for the better part of the week.  Unbelievable, I know.  But, man, was I productive.  I put away laundry that had been sitting in laundry baskets (or on the floor around the laundry baskets) for about two months.  I organized my closet and dresser, getting rid of all the sizes I've been ( Read more... )
