My running time plunged this month as a result of my neck and back yoinkage, and many of these miles were such shuffles that they barely qualify as running. Yet what they lacked in speed, they made up for in discomfort. I am, therefore, counting them ( Read more... )

-This week has been nuts in ways and for reasons that I don't really feel like discussing at the moment. 2009: simmer down now, OK ( Read more... )

PEEPS. How excited am I about the snow day tomorrow? So excited that at the grocery store (where I was stuck with all the panic shoppers, because Sunday is my usual shopping day), a stranger in the parking lot remarked, "You look happy!" That's right: I am radiating waves of happiness.

Part of my enthusiasm is that a migraine devoured my ( Read more... )

Um, OMG, Psych's very special finale guest star (the third one, I mean...)? And the closing scene? \o/ Thank goodness they are renewed.

I'm pretty sure Kenyon is recced by trusted sources, but I'm kind of perplexed at the moment, and also if this month in fandom has taught us anything, it's that I don't trust anyone ( Read more... )

Captain, there's something I think you should see down here.
I'm in a funk. I've even discovered that I may be the only person in fandom who doesn't care about Dexter. I was actually trying it for my brother, who is obsessed with the show and has freaked out my mother by making her watch it and saying things like, "I feel Dexter teaches me ( Read more... )
