I'm a cow. See my udder!
And now, for a real update.
1) Work. Target basically owns my soul. I'm there 5 days a week although as of late it's mostly at the service desk or playing GSTL (which for some reason cracks Jennifer up). I've been thrust into this crazy amount of responsibility after almost 2 years of being simply a cashier. I don't particularly like it, but there's really no one else to do the job so I just suck it up. Nights will Sally are usually dreadful, Leslie is hilarious as always, and Connie is...well, Connie. And I never work with David any more as I don't work Wednesdays. But he's leaving soon anyway. The new girl's name is Jenny. And on her second day, I walked into work, and every time she walked by me she said "Hi, I'm Jenny!" which was nice, because with the new "New Team Member" name tags and the fact that nobody feels the need to introduce themselves it can be quite difficult getting to know someone. Apparently a lot more people who work at Target know who I am than I thought, or maybe that just came with the increase in responsibility as well.
2) School. School sucks per usual. I got a C on my first Methods test (yeah, it was horrible -- I walked out expecting to fail and was surprised that I managed a C -- especially because it could have been a whole lot better, but he was fairly lenient on the grading). But I kicked ass on the second one and got a 99/102. So yeah, hopefully that'll kick my grade up a few notches (I think I've got a B+ in the class now instead of a C -- so I've got two more tests and two more assignments to get it to an A). Philosophy is absolutely freaking dreadful. My teacher is an 88 year old priest who, I swear, talks just to prove he's still alive. I'm not sure he can really hear himself and I know he can't hear anybody else. Yeah, it's stupid and just reinforces my belief that philosophy is bullshit. Theory is...so-so. It's my middle of the lane class. It can be extremely boring at times, but the discussions can be fun. I don't get Marx so the first month of class sucked, but Weber and Durkheim at least talked about something I can understand. I managed an A- on the first paper -- which is excellent as a lot of people are having to do re-writes and I was expecting to do terrible, especially considering I pulled the paper out of my ass one night after work. And women's studies is probably my favorite class, but I still hate it. The stuff we talk about is interesting but it's almost a joke. I'm one point shy of an A+ in the class and I've not read any of the readings and talk about random shit. But whatever, it's easy.
3) Boys are stupid. Yeah, so the thing with Kerry didn't work out (again, go figure). He turned out to be like all the other douchebags who only want sex even though he argued vehemently that he wanted to be my friend when we first started talking. I give up. I don't even care anymore. My issues with boys just makes me remember why I don't date. All the guys I've ever gone out with only want sex. If I give it to them, that's all they wanted so they're done and if I don't, again, that's all they wanted so they're done trying to get it if it's not easy. So why the fuck should I be the slut?
4) This week's Bones is only reinforcing the Slut-O-Ween factor. Lame. I expected better. Bones this season has begun pretty good. I like the sexual undertones, but I'm not sure exactly how long the producers are going to play this. They claim they'll go until the fans get pissed, but they're getting awful close RST. Hodgins is HOT without his fro. Angela is married to a big fine black man named Gracen. Okay...I'm getting kind of bored with that already.
5) What else? I'm sure there's tons I've missed....oh, Boppy. As if I haven't said it before, I have the cutest/coolest niece in the world. She's just awesome. She's become a little chatterbox. I talked to Miranda last night and they had gone to the Target in Springfield to go shopping and Christmas gift hunting, and apparently Isabelle said "It's no Shopko" when they walked out of Target. Which is absolutely hilarious for a 2 year old to say. But, that kid definitely loves Shopko.
6) Following the rules of this whole number thing: We have no 6.
7) CSI:NY -- So far a fairly excellent season. I like the focus on one main storyline with the whole team working it over the normal A-B storyline split. And the humor and family themes in this season are amazing. But, dammit, I want more DL! We've had a few amazing scenes, don't get me wrong. But I'd like to see something more intimate that shows they're in a real relationship and not just an 8th grade one. I'm still not sold on Anna's haircut. It's adorable, yes, but I loved the length. And since the James Bond episode I have gained this crush on Flack. I wasn't aware he had such a ripped body. I thought he was just tall and lanky. Tall he is, lanky he is NOT. And how jealous was Stella of Devon? Hee!
8) Private Practice. Please, send Addison back to Grey's Anatomy. Grey's is soapy, but Private Practice is just....blah. It's not really that interesting. I only half watch each week and only because I have Wednesdays off. Or at least get Addison and Tim Daly (Pete?) together already.
9) Speaking of Grey's....I've yet to see an episode this season. I work Thursdays and with work 25-30 hours a week, school for another 17, it's hard to keep up with television.
10) House. The premiere was hilarious, but I've only seen bits and pieces of episodes since then.
11) CSI. Sara lives. Grissom asks Sara to marry him. Over bees. And they attempt to kiss with bee-masks on? WTF? This is not how Geek Love was supposed to work.
12) Without a Trace. Supposedly they're writing Poppy Montgomery's pregnancy into the show, but I haven't had a chance to watch to see if it's been mentioned yet. But I would die of laughter if it were Danny's baby. I really just wanna know who the daddy is.
13) Pushing Daisies. Adorable and quirky. And I love seeing Lee Pace again.
14) I've made it through the Conviction DVDs and now wish the series would have continued -- although I'm weary of the direction it may have headed. And I could have sworn I must have watched a different show when it aired real time because I remember incredibly different things from the few episodes I actually watched. Like, I thought Peluso and Finny hooked up and it was awkward and messy and she was the one pining when, in fact, they never hooked up and he was the lovesick puppy. And I remembered Steele and Jess from the first episode, but I didn't remember their relationship continuing (though I'm happy it did -- even if it was all over the map).
15) Megan and her roomies put a lease down on a house that's on the corner of Kelsey and Lee streets in Blormal. She's going to be living on my corner (yes, I realize that makes me sound like a prostitute, but I don't care because it amuses me).
16) A couple weeks ago, Rachel and I went to UMSL and saw Kathy Griffin live. I think that was the best $140 I've ever invested. It was amazing. Hilarious and totally worth it. If she ever comes anywhere near where I'm at ever again I MUST buy tickets. 45 minutes into the show my face and throat already hurt from laughing so hard. We got to hear all the juicy naughty dirty stories because the next night she was in Chicago and they were filming her next TV special. And I have never seen so many middle-aged gay men in my life.
17) I don't really have anything else to say, and I'm sure this is plenty long enough.
18) I am never going to get enough sleep. I've been sleeping through all my alarms or waking up at the last possible minute, nearly falling asleep in all my classes, and even napping during my television.
