I have to wait until August? Did anyone see CSI last night? omg. I was totally not expecting that. Until about 15 seconds before it happened. I mean, I knew going into it that something would happen. But I didn't expect that. For the record, I've always hated that guy, ever since he played a child molester on Without A Trace. I couldn't believe they made him a recurring character on CSI. I wonder now, did they plan this? Or did the writers one day say, Oh look, we can really screw with the story if we do this?
And there won't be any resolution to any of this until the new season. I mean, I know what happened. But I'd like to know what happens after that.
Sorry this is so incoherent. I'd like to say more, but can't say more without spoilers. *sigh*
Still sorting out life but I'm doing alright It's 9pm, and I'm actually thinking about just going to bed. How freakin' lame is that?
It has been a crazy week, though... or couple of weeks... geez, a month? the summer? Suffice it to say, the craziness abounds.
Chad's schedule has been crazy, doing ISTs and other cool acronyms... which has given me a couple of evenings to chill, and have the house to myself. This is in theory pretty cool, but I have yet to figure out how to make it work. For instance, Monday night I reviewed a list of things that Manda suggested doing the last time she had the house to herself... and ended up doing none of the listed things, and instead watching City Confidential, followed by crappy reality TV (WifeSwap), followed by a really odd documentary type show about a family that has 13 kids and only spend $150 a week at the grocery store. I got some cleaning done in there, too, but mostly just watched crappy TV.
Tonight I watched City Confidential, and then got sucked into a documentary about a serial killer who eventually got caught and put on death row, but they never found half the people he killed... yeah. Really healthy TV habits. But I got some other cleaning stuff done, read the first couple of chapters of a book someone lent me, and now I'm ready to call it a night I guess...
In other news, starting September 1 I'll be a real full time employee at Landmark, doing usability and like, getting paid and stuff. And benefits. Like a real person. Isn't that amazing?
In other other news, apparently my brother tore his rotator cuff at work... so now instead of stocking produce, he's greeting people at the door. So if you happne through the Sparkman Drive Wal-mart between 4am and noon (no clue what days), you should wave at him and stuff.
And for the record, I'm not terribly fond of hurricanes. Phenomenal cosmic (destructive) power aside, the build up is annoying. And people freak out, and panic, thus causing other people to panic, and it's not fun. I like tornadoes better. They destroy smaller areas, they don't tend to come with floods, and you only have a few minutes to panic and freak out.
That being said, we have an evacuation plan, and I have now put my finger on everything we would need to take with us (a surprisingly small list, really, which makes me wonder... why do we have so much other stuff?).
Anyway. I'm falling asleep whilst typing, which is always bad. I'm going to quit fighting it, and go to bed, which is pretty sad, actually).

Apparently, I suck at this game. ... Or else I'm just too obscure for you. So it's hint day... I've also added an extra line or so to each of these.

she's from the city of angels/ like Betty Davis, James Dean, and Gable Alright, alright, I'm succumbing to the music game as well. With my own twist: name the song, and the TV show it was the theme for... extra kudos if you get the artist (in some cases there might not be one...). Some of these are kind of obscure...
