Oh man, I totally missed posting yesterday. Even after a full 9 hours of sleep on Monday night, I was still out of it yesterday and I went to bed at 9:30 again last night, and slept a lot less well, but I feel a lot more awake. *hands*

Monday night,

Arrow: The Promise (now I am earwormed, but in a good way; I haven't heard that song in ages.)
( spoilers, not particularly squeeful )

I started my Life rewatch via Amazon Prime and ugh, the changes in the music are weirding me out. You know, it's one thing not to secure music rights from shows from the 80s, but this show started in 2007! They should have known better! It's just not the same without the original music. Maybe once I've moved past that (I didn't realize I would even ( Read more... )

My commuter karma is apparently in flux - over the past couple of days I missed several buses and gave up waiting on their follow-ups in favor of walking; otoh, the subway pulled in this morning as I was walking through the turnstile, and even though I missed the crosstown bus yesterday evening, an empty, on duty (!!) cab pulled up, even though it ( Read more... )

They hammered him for a couple of hours over certain cuts and expenditures. It was brutal. He was mostly calm, but at one point he got a little snippy, ( Read more... )

Last night I dreamt that Neil Gaiman was my landlord, and I lived in this really nice but really old pre-war apartment building - the kind with a big marble lobby and lots of arches in the architecture - and Joel Grey was harassing the tenants - he was doing his Doc from BtVS schtick with the "shallow cuts, shallow cuts" and asking us to let him ( Read more... )

Weird things are happening with my laptop. I find this very irritating, especially since I wanted to do some writing before bed, but instead, I am having to reboot and finagle. Bah! Technology is like a bad boyfriend - no matter how frustrating and insane it makes me, I always come running back in the end. I rebooted to fix one problem and now it's ( Read more... )
