(no subject)
I'm here for my occasional appearance. Enjoy.
It's getting chilly here at night. It hasn't done that this early in a couple of years. Means we need to get the girls more pants for school and maybe some stockings to go with their skirts and dresses. Maybe this year will provide us with plenty of good jacket wearing days. I like the Aumtumn/Winter seasons for the cold. You can keep putting clothes on til you're warm, but if it's hot there's only so much you can take off and not get arrested for. In most states.
Still part time at the job place, but it's looking good. I get four days a week, which averages out to about a 58 hour paycheck every two weeks. And if they start cutting our hours again, I've got plenty of contacts lined up from last year that I shouldn't have to worry about not getting days. People know I want to work and that I'm good enough to not make them look bad for trading with me. Also, I've had several supervisors--including a couple of shifts--comment that I should be full time. Odds are, if I were, I'd be a pit 7 aka high denom pit dealer most days. They like my skills at taking money from players and not feeling one bit guilty about it.
This weekend we are heading down south to my dad's side of the family reunion. It's been a few years since I've been able to get down there and this year the only reason we are going is because my mom is loaning us gas money. It'll also be the first time my two brothers and I have been gathered together in quite some time. Should be interesting.
Really, I don't have much else to say. I spend my days doing mostly the same thing, working or sleeping or watching tv. I live for my tv shows.
Monday:
Dancing with the Stars--mostly J's show, but if I'm off I'll watch it with her. I mean, c'mon, hot chicks dancing around in bare minimum outfits.
House--this is the first year I've watched it, I have to admit, but it's a great show. A little formulaic, sure, but I love the humor. I got hooked on it over the summer with the USA reruns.
Castle--surprisingly better than I thought it would be, but interestingly not as good--in my opinion--as Fillion's other two failed shows, Drive or Firefly. It may be the fact that it comes on after DWTS though. Not that it doesn't have enough merit to stand on its own.
Tuesday:
The Forgotten--I'm still on the fence about this one, honestly. I mean, it seems to me that there's no reason the ideas and routes they come up with to find a JD's identity couldn't have been thought of by the police themselves, making it seem as if the show is insinuating that cops are dumb and these guys are genius good. Then again, in big cities the homicide rate is such that detectives probably don't have the time to spend on one case before the next one shows up. The missing kid and the ex-husband angles are enough to keep me intrigued and watching for now, though.
Wednesday:
So You Think You Can Dance--K, I'm a poser when it comes this show. I'll start watching once the top 20 shows start up, the hell with this audition crap.
Glee--by far, my favorite show this season. It doesn't have ghosts or vampires or cops or super powers but dammit, I love this show.
Thursday:
Supernatural--this one is on its final season, which so far is shaping up fairly decently.
Fringe--this season is not nearly as excitement generating as last, but that's because the last few eps of last season let on a whole lot about what was going on. This season is great, don't get me wrong, but with the first half of season one you'd watch with a sense of what's this all adding up to? and that's kind of gone now. I'm looking forward to thier approach with the coming war, though.
Friday:
Star Wars The Clone Wars--I almost stopped watching this last season but I'm glad I didn't. It's more mature than its animated format suggests.
Dollhouse--again, a second season not shaping up to match the first, but the first had a rocky start as well. Too much explanation near the end of that season has drained some of the mystique from this one. Then again, they weren't so sure they were getting a second season.
Also, Warehouse 13 turned out to be a really good show from Sci-FiSyfy, especially after the Sheriff of Rottingham--I can't remember that actor's name--showed up as a recurring antagonist. It's been green lit for a second season. I never watched the final three eps of True Blood this year. That show has a way of see-sawing my attention. I'll try and catch them on HBO On Demand soon enough. And of course, there's my History/Discovery Channel shows: The Universe, Clash of the Gods--a really good new one from H about cultural myths from around the world, each hour long show dedicated to one myth, The Nostradamus Effect and Mysteryquest, two I sometimes watch if the topic catches my interest, and Monsterquest. Oh, and Mythbuster's new season started up.
I've also been dvr'ing the hell out of Law and Order Criminal Intend and SVU from USA. It's the fact that my work schedule has me up all hours of the night and sleeping during the day that I dvr everything. Otherwise, I'd go out of mind with nothing to watch from about 2-6 am.
And, with that recap of my life out of the way, I leave you with this link that has me once more wishing for powers of time travel:
New Zelda in, hopefully, 2010
