My roommate has gone from overdosing on movies every weekend to binge-watching old episodes of ER. She's been checking out all the seasons on DVD from the library. I don't mind because 1) I was getting damn tired of so many movies, and 2) I have fallen the fuck in love with the ER's chief doctor, Kerry Weaver. She is just such an awesome character. I love how tough and smart she is (but she can also be caring when she needs to be, like when Jeannie found out she had HIV). She reminds me of K-----, the one coworker that I actually like. We just finished watching Season 5 this weekend, and I'm disappointed that there's not much more to watch. Kerry deserved her own spinoff series. She eventually meets her birth-mother later in the series, and in the episode where I thought she met her, my roommate yelled, "I told you Kerry's birth mother was Kate Winslet's mom in Titanic! Does that look like Kate Winslet's mom in Titanic?!" Haha.
The solar eclipse happened last week, and it was a pretty big let-down for me. We actually got a good amount of coverage in this part of the country, but I had expected it to get a lot darker. My coworker A----- and I went outside during it and looked around, and it was only slightly dimmer. But still, it was a neat experience to have. My sister and I meant to watch The Watcher in the Woods in honor of it, but then we never did.
We're busy right now planning our vacation. We're going to Washington DC this year (though even she keeps saying, "I just hate the idea of going while 'he's' there"), and I'm really getting excited about it!!!
