I'm waiting for The Walking Dead
Oof, long day. My boss was gone, leaving me to work on the initial stages of payroll all by myself, since she wanted to get a head start on it because of the short week coming up (payroll gets processed by the banks on Thursdays, but since they'll all be closed for Thanksgiving, and anyway employees leaving earlier than that would appreciate having their paychecks, it's important we get it done ASAP). My end of it went okay, but the thing of it is is that we have multiple jobs going on, and multiple supervisors that have to create and send in multiple time cards, and if I don't get all of those time cards, I can't get anything done. I never ended up getting a full time card for one of the jobs, and that sucks. Well, I did the best I could anyway. Didn't help that I got my period last night, even though I have to admit that it's come at a borderline miraculously convenient time. So convenient I'm willing to forgive the last three inconvenient times. So that's cool.
Anyway, TV! As my subject line says, I've just about relegated The Walking Dead to Fridays at 10pm, because Sunday nights are for sleep, the better to face the new work week. Should I ever develop a life that involves social activity on Friday nights, well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. It's a little annoying to be an episode off- I caved and read spoilers for this episode, but oh well. Rick impressed me last episode. I like a protagonist who will acknowledge that a dead zombie was once a person with a name and a life, but still chop them into pieces and use their rotting limbs and entrails as camouflage. Anyway, it's been interesting so far, not really much more than an extended zombie movie as of now IMO, but I'm excited to see how things develop in later seasons. Hopefully it'll involve a timeslot change.
Because (TRANSITION) I happily came across a commercial for the American version of Top Gear while watching The Daily Show online during my break. It's coming on this Sunday at 10pm, on the History Channel of all places. And I know, I know, "Ewwww American re-make rarrr kill it with fire!!!11!!" but.. goshdarnit... I'm excited, okay?! Really, genuinely excited! It looks good! It's got Adam Ferrara as one of the hosts, which surprised the heck out of me. I know for a fact that he's a very talented comedian. The other two guys I don't know but they seem cool too. It honestly does look like it's got the style, the enthusiasm, the romance (not slash, but of the automotive industry- we'll just.. wait and see on the former), throw a Stig in there and it really should be good times. I know the first episode of the Australian version was actually filmed in England and all the English hosts were there and it was all very much "Welcome to the club, n00bs ;)" in a friendly way. While I don't really think that will happen for the American version, I'm still crossing my fingers for a cameo by Clarkson, May, and Hammond at some point.
So, yeah, hey, two posts in as many days! I didn't really mean to clam up like I have lately, just haven't had too much to talk about I could pull together into a post. And now I must be off, to listen to the commentary on Dog Soldiers before it's time for zombie mayhem.
