2. J's birthday was wonderful - seriously, amazingly wonderful. We ate way too much, she loved her presents, we sat at the restaurant for 4.5 hours and we could have stayed there longer if Yulia hadn't had to catch the last bus home. We laughed so hard I thought my face wouldn't stop hurting. J and I illuminated Yulia about the wonders of Lex Luther and Clark Kent's canonic mutual child and she kept hitting me every time I reminded her of this. Apparently she only watched Smallville for Lana and Superboy is ~ruining her childhood~ lol.
We came home and J and I watched some East West 101 (she remains thoroughly unimpressed with the show: "the editor needs to lay off the slow-mo and the content here is hardly revolutionary; I can think of 2-3 sex scenes off the top of my head between devout Muslim women and the men they love - you need to watch more Israeli TV") and then last week's Merlin for epic LOL value and then realized it was 2:30am and we had to get up at 9:30 the next morning. Oops. So, I'm sort of out of it today as a result.
3. Thoughts about East West 101 episodes 2x01-2x02 that I wrote down before J came over: ( moar )
Just FYI, all the episodes of the show can be downloaded here.
4. Things are kind of hard with my grandparents right now, and they're going to get even more difficult in the near future. I find myself wondering whether I'm going to be one of those unfortunate people who've had something terrible happen to them around a major holiday.
5. I haven't even started writing my papers. I have... great doubts I'll do so today.
other good thing from yesterday, my brother noticed i lost weight though he wouldn't believe me it's only about 17 pounds. He thinks it's more.
Though I wish there were some blood in the boy. His fingers were COLDER than our 94 year old granny (hell she didn't want him touching her). It's always been this way. He loathes the cold as much as I loathe the heat (remember that Year without a Santa Claus with Snow & Heat Misers? those were our holiday nicknames for years)
We were google earthing things before they decided politics were better. My apartment has finally made the cut. You can see it.But we were mostly googling Vegas because my brother and his wife want to go. But they are SOOOOOOO lazy. All they want to do is sit in the pool and have stuff brought to them. I told them if I went with them they would never see me. We're completely incompatible for vacationing

About Me: I can be a little shy at first but once I get to know somebody it doesn't take long for me to open up. I'm open minded and won't judge anybody. I love learning about new things, and I adore animals of all sorts. Sometimes it's not unusual for me to talk about things that I have been trying to figure out, sometimes it can be obscure little things with no proven answer, but it's good to question what is going on around you.
Music: I listen to a wide range of music, some of my favourite bands at the moment are cruxshadows, Bauhaus, Sisters of mercy, 45 Grave, and the cure. I really can't list all of the bands I listen to, it would take up way to much space, but its safe to say I mainly listen to goth rock, darkwave, horror punk, punk, metal, and industrial.

Given there was an article in the paper today about people eating so much they have to go to the hospital because they think they are dying, this is apropos.

Misha Collins continues to be the funniest person on Twitter. Comedians, whom one would think would be funny, just seem to be desperate. If it looks like you are trying, it isn't invisible. Talent is invisible. That's why so many think stuff is easy to do.
It just occurred to me that I could use the $500 bread mix for rolls today. I will think on the logistics of this more.
I'm thankful my turkey wasn't stinky. I'll drain the brine soon and give it a hellava rinse before I roast it.
Also with today's dinner, baked potatoes (yes, I know not the traditional, but I have bunches of Russet potatoes to use up. Not in the spirit of Thanksgiving if you have to throw out food), Brussels spouts (which I may braise. I think I did that once with balsamic vinegar. I'll have to dig around for that recipe), stuffing (the two separate parts are done, and just need to be baked), carrots of some sort, pumpkin pie, and wine (for me).
I'm hosting book group next Tuesday, so I have to start thinking about what to serve at that. I have no idea. People seem to either go overboard and have so many offerings, or a very few. Weird. My book choice is my last summer's fav, Kafka Was the Rage, which everyone I've talked to seems to love. It is nice to read a book filled with passion, and written with the same. It really carries you along.
Have a nice day.
I wondered why that was, but it's really my general misanthropy. I don't go poking around fan boards in search of fic or discussion because I tend not to care about such things. I stick close to home and read the LJs of pre-existing friends. This is easy to do when you have gathered a bevy of smart, fun people around you who know yet more smart, fun people.
As a consequence, I usually end up going to certain LJs after viewing new episodes of shows I like. Of late, that means
