So lazy with the memage and LJ in general. I don't want to come and blather about work (it's mostly going well) and we haven't been doing much lately because I work a lot and also, we are boring.

Although, last weekend I went to see Nay-nay in Austin and she took me to the best place on Earth: Pinballz, an old-school arcade with hundreds of pin ball ( Read more... )

We've had Netflix for 3 days and already JP is hooked. I shouldn't have started him on the strong stuff, letting him do his own searches and signing in on his PS3. I'm not much better, with my 11-part miniseries on the British monarchy, but I've had Netflix before. I can handle it. I can quit any time I want.

I did finally watch North & South, the ( Read more... )

Ugh - last week's crapfest at work has spilled over into this week.

I would not be averse to hearing some good news right about now.

Watching Notting Hill in an attempt to cheer the fuck up.

Yay, announcement! I am officially a Treasury Analyst for the VP and I start on Monday! Scary! I am totally frightened of my new boss, but hopefully it will all work out.

I went out tonight and had sushi with a friend - it's a great little place, very chic and low key at the same time. I enjoyed just hanging out at a nice restaurant on a Friday ( Read more... )

Went to see Sorcerer's Apprentice today and not only was it awesome (I love Jay Baruchel), but it gave me a pretty cool dream when I took a nap this afternoon. People and wizards lived side by side in a place that was a cross between America in the 1950s and Miyazaki's version of a European town. The dream was about them going to war and us regular ( Read more... )

Have been a very bad live journal reader of late. Overtime + David Cook detox (apparently I don't know the term "cold turkey") + searching for a new TV boyfriend + requisite emo-time = NO time for the LJ.

I only worked eight hours of OT this week and I am DUNZO! Gotta start, I dunno...taking vitamins or something. The new job function is about as ( Read more... )

So, okay - I have been averaging 5-6 hours of sleep a night all this week because I am trying to keep up with the American Idol boards on TWOP (a futile effort, I assure you). But it's loads of fun and it's whipping me into a frenzy for the finale because I love this ridiculous show and I am totally crushing on David Cook.

I was ready to admire the ( Read more... )

Tight pants on skinny men are a gift from the gods.

I hope Audrey Hepburn-style pants stay for a good, long while. Or maybe they are out of fashion already?  I have no idea.

Work was horribly depressing, as it sometimes is on a Monday, but I came home and JP made dinner. Then, we watched Indiscreet with the lovely Cary Grant and Ingrid "That's a Man ( Read more... )

Am I wrong for thinking this is hilarious? Chocolate Jesus: My Sweet Lord. Are they for real? Is this a participatory art performance? 'Cause: yum!

Things that are yay!

1. Jon Heder speaking Japanese and Will Ferrell, well, being Will Ferrell in Blades of Glory.
2. Blake Lewis saying that he would love to share the stage and scat with Ella ( Read more... )

What JP was referring to in his comment regarding my zeal for housekeeping. He bought me a Hello Kitty kitchen playset, complete with pots, dinnerware, and play food. So. Freaking. Awesome. You can even cut the vegetables with the knife! It was supposed to be a birthday gift, but he couldn't wait. Aw. Little did he know that I used to LOVE to play ( Read more... )
