I bought a coat! Two, actually! ( In case you're wondering, there's a sale! )

I don't do the year-in-review memes so much. This is more my own tally of new-to-me pieces of entertainment consumed.

I see that I managed to outdo myself on the number of movies seen this year versus last year. I've seen 50% more movies in 2007 than I did in 2006 (120 versus 81). 120! Crazy! Television seasons completed, despite there being fewer ( Read more... )

( First, an excellent fannish meme. Recommended to all! )

Oh the British. Do they even HAVE anything left to prove? They're hands-down better at everything than we are, and they still show it at every other turn.

Case in point: turned on over to BBC America and, before a re-run of Spooks came on, there was a disclaimer. Given the episode (it's the really freaky one in series two where they have the ( Read more... )

I am so close--so close--to getting the fucking lights in my bedroom fixed, but things keep getting cocked up. First, the super comes and thinks that he magically fixes it by moving the fixture around. It works until I put a bulb in. Then the electrician comes, diagnoses the problem but can do naught about it because lines are buried in the wall. ( Read more... )

It's clearly been too long since I posted rampantly about television series, hasn't it? What, I must have gone all of two weeks without babbling about TV stuff. Okay, so I flailed mightily about The Departed and polled endlessly about Grindhouse (which I haven't reviewed! In a word? FUCKING AWESOME OMGWHYHAVEN'TYOUSEEN IT YET!?!), but not about TV.

Last night, I was too lazy to get up and turn off the TV (the remote was all the way across from me! I mean, what's the point of a remote if I'm going to forget it and leave it on top of the stupid TV!?) after Smallville, so I ended up watching the first episode of Supernatural I've seen since I tried to watch the premiere when it first aired ( Read more... )

I feel pretty detached today. I'm in no hurry to do anything, but I'll do whatever comes along without arguing the point. Like, for instance, my boss tells me to pH something for half an hour. Yes, that's unnecessary, but I'm going to do it ( Read more... )

Wow, I just don't have anything to post. I don't think, except for the stupid post-doc thing, I posted anything yesterday.

Random things to talk about:

-Last night, I ripped CDs to mp3s and watched episodes of House I'd missed. Say what you will about the show being basically an excuse to have Hugh Laurie be awesome and naughty and just have ( Read more... )

Hot guy walks into hospital room to check on his friend, who's been mugged and beaten up.
Doctor Smart Woman: Are you the boyfriend?
Agent Hot Pants: No.
Doctor Smart Woman: There is a God.

Smaaaaaart lady. Spooks season two, two episodes in, is already too intense to watch. That little exchange, however, made it quite worth putting up with Tom's ( Read more... )
