shit kenzi says

Because I'm a big ol' sheep and if hiyacynth jumped off of a cliff I probably would too...

Dangit, I have laundry to do and, ugh, cases to brief. Classes start again tomorrow. Oh joy, oh rapture. *blehs*

ETA: I've decided to be like Andy and spend most of the day in my bathrobe and slippers. *happy sigh*

I am so bored, you guys, it's not even funny. Teevee sucks, my brain is a dead mass of nothingness wherein even my old standby stories are producing nothing but 'eh'. I mean, you know it's getting deadly when even Sekrit Pretend World fails you.

And now the Mum won't stop telling me to tell the Wrestler things. D00d, did we all revert back to middle school, or something? *snerk*

Was reading a review of the Serenity dvd that was quite bemused by all the 'Whedon worship' in the extras. I found that awfully amusing because Whedon worship is bemusing. 'Course, I can't get too down on people who think Teh Joss is the greatest thing since sliced bread because I heard some of the things I said about Ron Moore this weekend and they sounded kinda worshipful. I try to avoid hypocrisy, but, you know. *rolls eyes*

'S funny, when I was learning to drive the Da would always quote Yoda's, "Do or do not, there is no try." and come to find out, thanks to the prequels, that Yoda really doesn't know what he's talking about. Thanks, George, you did real good with that one.

I love how on BSG Adama and Roslin are so Zeus and Hera. I know it's blatantly obvious and all, but when I first read Greek mythology in grade school the books made Hera out to be some sort of crazy bitch and I never realized how much that particular male-centric bs pissed me off until I saw Roslin. And OMG, I just realized that Tigh and Ellen are kind of Ares and Aphrodite, all he's really good at is war and all she's really good at is manipulating people with sex/love. Wow, that's kinda cool. Or maybe Sharon is Aphrodite because everyone always ends up falling in love with her. Or is she Pandora?

That's it, no more krazehness for me.

The Big Lug's on his way to Mardi Gras as I write this. I almost told him to get a picture of some hobbits if they were there but then didn't because that would've just been a little too awkward, I'd never hear the end of it. Yes, I am a little bit of a wuss. ;-)

Some random links:

The brilliant Javier Grillo-Marxuach, writer for Lost, Boomtown, Jake 2.0 and so much more, is on LJ. He's chaodai and has a great write-up of his experience at the Emmy's. You should really check it out, the guy's just great.

Apparently, not only does Nathan Fillion star in a genre show but he is also a geek. You should really check out his comic book rant that I found over here. It's hillarious. I'm kinda a fan of his now.

There's a woman named Meg Wood who has a blog where she talks about her Boyfriend of the Week. She has impeccable taste. Check out the archive, it's full of a lot of my favorite boys.

It really is the Age of the Fanboy in Hollywood. Just look at all of the fanboys who are making it big: Peter Jackson, Quentin Tarantino, Joss Whedon, J.J. Abrams, etc. etc. Fangirls should start trying to get in on some of that action. The time is ripe for our particular brand of genius.

You know, I bet part of my stress was being internet incomunicada for the past week, or so. Right when I needed the soothing balm of fandom and lj friends I was cut off. Am feeling quite a bit calmer this afternoon.

I watched all of the Firefly dvds in three days. Wow. ( Television Blathering )

Discuss: The word whore seems to be taking on new connotation as society changes. What is that new connotation (if any), why is it happening and how do you feel about it?

It's thundering outside. That sound still excites me.

ETA: For all you Potter-fans who will be buying and devouring the books this weekend please feel free to spoil me to your little hearts' content. I won't be buying the book, may never be buying the book and would dearly like to be able to understand the flood of fic that is about to be unleashed upon this corner of the internet. Harry Potter spoilers make little liptons happy.

So I was really wonked out yesterday. Came into work and immediately started with the headache, fell asleep at 6PM (which is only worthy of notice because I had to do my laundry last night so getting up extra early was necessary). Came into work this morning and got a headache, too. Empirically this must mean that I am allergic to work. ;-)

I am still heartily amused by how entertaining the weekend was. 23+ hours of The X-Files, various thought-provoking discussions, another viewing of Batman Begins and after returning home there were fireworks to see with the Big Lug. I love the yearly fireworks displays and my brother was so cute. *nose wrinkle* We met up at the park and he was all, "I feel like I haven't seen you in a while" even though it had only been a week. I kinda really love that Lug.

I got Firefly: The Complete Series from hiyacynth for my birthday and I'm so excited! I can't wait to dive in and see all of the episodes that I missed when it first ran and prepare to see the movie in September. *steeples fingers* eeeeeexcellent

Ooooo the Alabama quarter has Helen Keller on it. That's pretty cool.

I think I'll go get some falafel for lunch. That sounds pretty good.
