I got my hands on S1 of BSG, I think I'm going to attempt to watch it again. I got sidetracked by Six Feet Under, but now that the new season started I figured it's time to try and catch up for real. Also! The Office tonight! And Winchesters! Good thing I've got TV to keep me going!

I have a "real" post in the works, but I have to share this RIGHT THIS SECOND. EEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Spider-Man 3 Teaser. Official version released later today. Cannot wait to see this in the theater. Do we know yet what it's showing in front of?

Eeeeeeeee!

ETA: Official teaser trailer on Apple.com!

There's a dead mouse in the back room by the filing cabinet. And I hate to be a girl about it, but I so totally am, because ew. Just, ew. Thinking about it is just, ew. Ew ew ew. And I have work to do and now I don't want to do it because ewwwww. I can't get back to the filing anyway. Ugh. Stupid old downtown buildings. Yuck.

::shudder::

Okay. Stop being a girl. Yes. Ick.


Anyway. New year and all that jazz. Racheal came down from NJ this weekend and we went downtown for First Night and fireworks, and there was much fun to be had. I missed pretty much all of the other festivities this weekend, though, since I had to work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, which totally and completely sucked, let me tell you. I would have had to work last night, too, but someone at work took pity on me and switched shifts with me. Which was all fine and dandy until I remembered I was supposed to hang out with Garrett on Wednesday. Grar. But still, it was nice to be able to sleep in and sit around in my pajamas most of the day yesterday and not have to worry about being on any sort of schedule. And it was nice being able to spend at least a little bit of time with my friends, since I feel like I never see any of them anymore.

Christina and Skyler came over yesterday and we went to see Brokeback Mountain. It sort of broke me, and I kinda knew it would. I was fine after the movie, and then Chris and Skyler dropped me off at the unit, and I went upstairs and just started bawling out of nowhere. It was a little weird. I choose to blame the sad gay cowboys.

( Other thoughts. )

I have a huge fandom-y post of fun in the works, but I thought my first post of the year shouldn't be about television. Instead, dead mice and gay cowboys seemed more fitting. :p

But hey. Scrubs tonight! I missed the Braff. For now, though, work. And avoiding the back room until my boss gets here. Yuck.

ETA: There were two of them. And my boss finally got here and took care of them. Ugh. Who knew I was such a girl, right?

1. Great weekend. Friday night I went to see Stay with Ashley. I liked it a lot, if nothing else it was very visually appealing--both because of the Ewan factor and the cinematography. ;) I'd like to see it again anyway, just to figure out all the little stuff I missed the first time through.

2. Friday, I also landed myself a second job at Barnes & Noble. They're starting me out in the cafe, which I wasn't too thrilled about, but I met the girl who's going to be training me and she seems really cool, so I'm sure it'll work out. Plus, since I'm technically a rehire, I'm making a whoooole lot more than I was when I worked in the bookstore at school last year. So that's pretty awesome.

3. Saturday my mother cancelled on me again, and so was spent out with the girls and Mike, who I haven't seen in months and months. We went to (where else?) Griffin's and had dinner and drinks, then walked over to Ram's Head, and then headed home to watch the Great Mouse Detective and sleep. Because we are just that cool.

4. Yesterday after Mike and Christina went home, Aster hung out and watched Veronica Mars while I went in for training at B&N (she's up to Drinking the Kool-Aid. Oh Casey, I love you.) and then when I got back we did the sitting around and talking until we realize we're starving thing. It was wonderful, and much needed.

5. We also watched The West Wing last night. I have just ( this to say: )

6. I have to work a bunch this week, training and stuff and B&N, but someone somewhere likes me very much, as I am definitely not scheduled for Wednesday night. ;)

Sooo, all in all, a fabulous weekend, which is just what I was looking for. I miss my friends, so this was just what I wanted. Especially since I have to work both Saturday and Sunday next weekend. :p

Just so you guys know, Saw is an absolutely awful movie. Just really. Don't bother seeing it. You might think it looks cool and psychologically frightening, and it is, for about 30 minutes. And then there's the rest of the movie. And it's just bad. Just please, do yourselves a favor. Don't bother.

Unless of course you're looking to laugh out loud at unnecessary gore for about an hour and a half. Cause there's plenty of that.

And Cary Elwes, honey? You were fabulous as Westley. You just really should have stopped there. You are a terrible actor. Do us a favor? Don't try to star in another movie, k?



And ummmm. I don't know why I'm suddenly in a crappy mood. I should probably just go to sleep like I said I was going to. Grar.

So today got better. I drove down to College Park and spent the evening with my Stewbert. We went to Noodles (of course) and then rented a movie.

So, I need someone to tell me why exactly Lost in Translation is a good movie. Cause I really didn't like it, at all. I kept feeling like I was supposed to like it, but it was so boring. There was no real plot or any on-going thread to make me like the characters, and way too many pointless scenes of someone eating cereal or walking down the street. I get that it was supposed to be about this relationship between two misfits in a strange land, but it just didn't work for me. So if you liked it, please tell me why. Also, let me know how exactly it managed to keep your attention for the full two hours. :P

Since I didn't like that movie much, and neither did Stew, we saw fit to watch the South Park movie after it. Much much better. :P

I should go to bed. I have to give a tour at 1030 tomorrow. But before I do, here are my favorite lyrics of the day:

( The Push Stars - Wild Irish Rose )

I saw the Matrix Revolutions tonight.

( Brief thoughts. )

I'm really exhausted right now for some reason, so I think I might actually go to bed early. (Because for me, 1:30 in the morning is early.) I figured out my schedule for next semester today, and it looks like I won't have class before 1pm all week. This is of the good. I will, however, have four hours of class in a row on Mondays and Wednesdays. This is of the bad. But! I will only have one class on Fridays. This is of the good. :)

I also spoke with my Advanced Comp. professor about the last two pieces I got back, and I'm really excited about revising them. We talked for awhile about what I can do to make them better, and why I've been stuck in this writer's block rut for so long. I haven't been this excited about writing in ages.

Other than that, work, TV meeting, lots of class today. And Angel. I watched most of that. We won't get into how I felt about that. :P

Sleep now.
