So, somedays I have to restrain myself from using my dear old lj as some sort of therapeutic emo-dump because, well, I spend a lot of time either alone or online and even when I'm with people I can't exactly tell them how I'm feeling because the words kinda don't come out. However, that's not what this lj is all about, it's a place for happy, not sad, and, anyway, I called myself a big girl and made myself laugh and the whole impulse dissipated. I'm telling you, hormones are a bitch. ;-)

The guy came and hooked up my cable/internet last night. Everytime I think about how I am connected to the world again I get this feeling, well, I guess the name that comes closest is orgasmic. Seriously. It's digital cable and high speed internet and it brought me Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart interviewing Samuel L. Jackson (motherfuckin' snakes on a motherfuckin' plane!) and then I downloaded an episode of Entourage in, like, 30 seconds and re-dl'ed 'Faith' because my previous file was crappy and I needed to see all he great brother stuff in the beginning. *satisfied sigh* Don't be alarmed or surprised if you ever see me making out with my cable box.

I realized as I was getting ready for bed that I had left a bra out on top of my dresser, right in view of the cable guy. I had a moment of intense delayed-embarrassment and then shrugged it off. And here I thought that my biggest problem was going to be how easily he could deduce I was a fangirl by the action figures and movie posters situated around the computer and the two bookshelves full of f&sf novels. No wonder he did that weird flirting thing with me after pointing out he was married. *facepalm*

I really need to stop picking at the scab on my knee. What am I, 6? It won't heal if you don't leave it alone. *scolds*

Reason #672 why I should make better use of IMDb. Found out today that Jeffrey Dean Morgan played Mary Louise Parker's dead husband on Weeds. Why is this important information that I should've had before? Because Mary Louise Parker is the Hollywood me (ie, the actress who could best portray me in the putative story of my life) and finding out that she was tv-married to John Winchester is still blowing my fragile little mind. I really, really, really love Hollywood.

That reminds me, once I've bit torrent'ed Entourage and Deadwood I need to get started on Weeds. But maybe I'll do season 2 of BSG first, I have a craving for more post-apocalyptic poltical drama.

I am so happy that I only have a week and a day left at this job. Yes, living off of loan money will be a pain in the butt but not being a slave to the copier/telephone will more then make up for it. One day we will all live the dream of doing nothing and it will be spectacular.

But with your new job you could get it again! And then the world will be a better place.

Wow, maybe I am a little overly attached to cable. There should be support groups, or someting. ;-)
