When the Night Wind Howls

liptonrm_backupQuite the storm this evening. It was very cool, what with the thunder and the lightning and the heavy wind and the rain. The power went out, but only for a moment. The best part was watching the storm come in, hearing the thunder in the distance hours before the clouds could be seen, watching the lightning chase through the sky while the clouds loomed above, ready to release the rain at any moment. I love a storm like that, there's just something so thrilling about it.
Been catching up on some old primetime TV during the mornings when I don't have to be at work. I have discovered that I actually do enjoy ER, as I've been seeing two re-runs a morning, twice a week. I've also been watching Judging Amy, but that's not nearly as good. The funny thing is, that the more of these shows I watch, the more I see actors turn up in the most interesting situations. I saw Sam Jones III (Pete from Smallville) on Judging Amy the other day (he was a defendant in a murder trial) and I saw Vincent Kartheiser (Connor from Angel) on ER today as an artist who had ingested paint. It was most humorous, and my reaction each time was definitely out of proportion to the situation (I think I remember jumping off of the couch and shrieking 'Pete!' and 'Connor!' each time;-). It's a good thing no one was around;-).
It's been interesting to watch the Big Lug deal with his first girlfriend. They had their first date on Saturday and Sunday they hung out all evening, Monday he went to Ann Arbor to visit with her (and, met her family) and tonight they've been on the phone talking to each other for hours (they're still on the phone). I haven't seen them together yet, so I can't say if they're a cute couple. I can say I'm starting to feel nostalgic thinking about the fact that someday my brothers will get married and we'll no longer be quite the same as we used to be. *sigh*
*snort* Melodramatic, much?;-) My nostalgia is getting beaten to a pulp by the snark rifling through my soul. I want to give him so.much.grief. There are so many snide comments to make, it's a shame he's so prickly about the whole situation. He tiptoes around it so much, it's like he's the girl in the house, what with the running out to the car and sneaking down to Ann Arbor. *eyeroll* Too.hillarious.for.words.:-D
My brain is mushy and it's officially too late for good little girls to be out of bed. Think I'll go watch some TV ...

Date: 2004-07-14 02:15 am (UTC)My hobby of sorts is spotting actors in different things and stuff, it's gotten to the point that whenever my parents can't remember who played someone they ask me, sometimes I know and sometimes I cheat and check http://www.imdb.com which is the biz for tracking actors through movies, though it's more fun to have them pop up at you by surprise : - )
