Updates, get your updates here
Since I haven't posted in a week, I figure I should make some sort of update.
Um...things are pretty much status quo. It's been icky and rainy here for like a week now, which is annoying. I want sunshine, please! It's March 17th, shouldn't spring at least be trying to come?
Things:
* I watched Kings last night, because Al Swearengen Ian McShane is in it. Wasn't sure what to expect, but I really liked it. Only um, I am an idiot because it's only reading reviews today that I realized it's, you know, the David and Goliath story from the Bible. Oh yeah. That makes sense now, and explains some of the mysticism of the show. Anyway, I guess it got spanked in the ratings, but I hope it gets a shot, and I'll be watching. I thought everyone involved was good, and it's so pretty, but mostly, I just liked having Al Ian on my TV again. I miss Deadwood.
* Roommate is out of town again this week. She was just supposed to be gone Thursday-Sunday, but she had to go to Boston yesterday for a scholarship interview. So I've got the apartment to myself again. It's nice, I'm not gonna lie. But I am determined to not get all lazy again just because there's no one else around.
* I found out this weekend that the family reunion I thought was happening this summer in my old college town is nixed. On the one hand, blerg, because I wanted an excuse to go to Illinois and visit my friends. On the other hand, this means I could have more time to go to the beach, if I wanted. My mom mentioned going to Illinois anyway, since my grandfather will be there this summer but...I dunno. Illinois or Beach? Hrmmm. (It's the less complicated "cake or death" scenario.)
* Lately I've been feeling like I need to do more with my life. Like, take a writing class or go to grad school or something. Basically the old problem of wanting to be more involved and all and also being an introvert and kinda lazy. So I've contacted some theaters about volunteering and also applied for a few online writing gigs. We'll see if any of that pans out. I hope so. As for grad school...the struggle continues. It's been like, 4 years since I first thought of going. I really should get on it.
* I spent all day Saturday on a wild goose chase to find a place to fix my vacuum. NOT FUN. Especially considering it was supposed to take up like, an hour of my day. The day was salvaged some by dinner with sillyzilly2k at an Irish Pub...that was oddly enough, NOT crowded. Sunday, I did my taxes, ordered new checks, updated my car registration...really, it was a great weekend. Blah.
* About a month and a half ago, I went out to dinner with a friend from the FNP. We've both moved on. And she's the only one I still talk to from there. Anyway, we saw each other again after like, six months, and it was so great. I think we were both like, "Dude why don't we hang out more?" So we had dinner again a few weeks ago, and I think we're going to hang out again next week. I'm so glad we've reconnected. Not that we were ever really out of touch, but it was more, we'd get together a few times a year. It's nice.
* I turn 28 in 10 days. Blah. I've been going through my old LJ entries and tagging them, and a few weeks ago I read an entry complaining about turning 25. Good lord. Shut up, Sarah.
* HIMYM last night: Not one of my favorites. Good, not great. But I don't think Marshall's Chewbacca impression will never NOT crack me up. I rewound three times, and laughed each time.
* I think I reached some level of theater dorkiness: I discovered Playbill.com radio a few days ago, and have been listening to it at work. Uh huh.
