in which I don't actually write about Battlestar Galactica (much)

Went to the Big City last night to see a play--it was a very interactive (cheer, boo and hiss, throw popcorn) silly pop-culture parody. Lots of fun! I gave a ride to a friend of a friend and I think I scared her (and maybe even scarred her, heh) with my driving. I think I'm a great driver, but apparently this is the minority opinion. (Hey, I've only been pulled over for speeding twice, in many, many years of driving.) Anyway... oh, and I bought a comic book at a store near the theater. Asterix, which is always fun but makes me wish I knew more Latin. I guess I can google the phrases that seem important.

Work last week was annoying, but Friday went surprisingly well after the earlier madness. I was surprised.

The weather here has been gorgeous lately--blue skies, perfect temperatures, light winds. (I'll qualify the 'light winds' with 'for here,' which means if you're not used to perpetually windy days, you'd think it was blowing a gale.) I may go out and take some wildflower photos in a bit, depending on how sunny it is after my grocery story run. Oh, and I didn't lose power earlier this week when we had storms pass through, so yay! (One Two of my friends at work did, twice, but only for a few seconds, just enough to require resetting all alarm clocks, etc.)

To-do list for today:
- go buy groceries (just finished the list, am double-checking ingredients after I post this)
- iron some clothes (because I'm tired of wearing the same no-iron-needed shirts, MUST HAVE CUTE CLOTHES!)
- vacuum, do load of laundry
- watch BSG (duh. Oh, it finished downloading now, yay!)
- exercise
- figure out what fics to rec for the remainder of the month for [livejournal.com profile] crack_van
- call my sister, who called me last night when I was out

I think I can officially count this as a post NOT about TV shows! Heh.

eta: You can totally tell in this post that my natural writing tendencies include rampant abuse of parentheses. Heh. Do I need a beta-reader for my everyday posts?!

Yay non-tv post! Though we need to talk after you watch. I wanna see what your reaction is... heh.

Also, we had storms and didn't lose power either! Look at us, with our electricity. I'm so proud.

Well, that was... interesting. Talk--maybe one or two-ish my time? I think you're an hour later, right? Or... I dunno, suggest a time if that doesn't work for you. I'm flexible.

I second the yay for non-TV posts! And ironed clothes! What I'm wondering is, did you see Lost yet? I'm curious as to what you thought of that ep.

I did see Lost! EEEEK! It's like they were saving all their cool ideas for one episode during the strike!

I thought of you much of the time! For one small moment, I actually felt sorry for him. And you know he scares me. But that sympathy was there. Lost, how you pull me back in!

Where is my Sayid icon? *looks*

Your Sayid icon is missing?!!! Oh noes! Oh woe!

Heh, Ben. He's so horrible! I kinda like that! (er, safely on my tv screen)

Oh, Sayid... *sniff* I felt so bad for him. At least he got to have Nadia in his life for a little while.

I think Sayid got replaced by Gaeta. What choices! But I will find it again. It was actually a really good episode of Lost. I'm still not over Alex. But poor Sayid. Such hotness, yet so unlucky in love. If only one his women got to actually stay alive..

Ben. The look on his face. I was actually stunned and keep waiting for her to get up. Lost can be so brutal. Watch out, Penny.

MUST HAVE CUTE CLOTHES!

Hee - and you can have cute non-iron-needed clothes, you know. If not. I would never get to wear cute clothes *g*

I've neglected to tell you that I'm enjoying your recs this month - even if I'm grinning quite a bit, because I've already recced a lot of them, or have them on the lists that are in the works.

I have a terrible weakness for cotton weave, which means I have lots of ironing of shirts to do. *sigh*

I'm glad you're enjoying the recs! I might've found a couple thanks to your recs lists, heh.
