Hi! (waves) 

*I have become seriously addicted to Spike and Buffy fanfic. It's almost on the same level as the obsession I had with Bosco/Faith (sniff...memories) fic.   The only problem with S/B is that majority of the stories I come across are really, REALLY, long so once I start reading them, I can't stop, and when I'm done...at least 3 hours have passed. But I can't really complain because the stories are just sooooooo damn good.  I love that ship.

*Nothng much new to report in real life. I have my best friend's graduation from her master's tomorrow, so I have the day off of work. I should be getting to bed soon since I have to wake up at 7am, but I'm still drinking my tea. 



TV stuff.

*Does anyone on my flist watch Entourage? It's such a happy little show.  I ordered the first 2 seasons on DVD since I just started watching it toward the end of last season. I haven't watched them yet of course, since they're just sitting on my shelf along with Firefly, and the first seasons of Prison Break and The Office. I'm better off waiting until all the season finales of all my shows are over, so I could have things to watch over the summer.

*We had some nice Lilly/Scotty scenes in the season finale of Cold Case. Just when I thought I lost complete interest in that partnership, I got suckered right back in. "Hey."


Celebrity Gossip:

*Aw, poor wittle Paris Hilton might go to jail for breaking the law, and is now having a petition opposing it sent to Arnold Schwarzenegger (since he has nothing else better to being the Governor of California and all). I'm sorry if I'm offending anyone, but I'm just so sick of her and her spoiled nonsense. Grow up.




**Nic and Leigh....I'll be emailing you guys shortly :) :) *Hugs*

How I've been spending my unemployed time:


It hasn't sunk in yet that I'm not working. It feels as if I'm just on vacation, especially since the girl who replaced me emails or calls me when she has a question. It's just a weird feeling.  

Now for the TV Talk:

*Bones - I was a little hesitant about the show this season, especially since I heard they were bringing a new boss in....but I think I'm more in love with it this time around. The acting and characters are getting stronger, and the storylines are more interesting (last season the cases used to confuse me, but this time, I'm actually able to follow them).  And just as long as the new boss doesn't take screen time away from the 'squints' , I could like her sticking around.  She brings another dynamic to the Booth/Brennan relationship...I love watching Booth defend Brennan, and Brennan standing up to herself to Cam.  

David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel totally tease the audience with their behavior, and I'm loving every single minute of it :)  And the writers know what they're doing when they're teasing us, and they're doing it deliciously well. 


*I CAN NOT wait until Grey's Anatomy comes back on. I actually haven't been reading that many spoilers on it because with that show....the spoilers make it sound like a sleazy soap opera, but when you actually watch it, the storylines are just so well done. I'd rather be surprised this time around.

*I'm so addicted to my Buffy DVDs, that's it's becoming annoying. My day doesn't feel complete unless I watch at least one episode.  I'm halfway through Season 4, and since that runs with the first season of Angel, I've been watching that as well.  I can't get over how -good- these two show are. What was I thinking not watching them when they were still on?

I finally finished the Farscape saga… 



…just in time to fall in love with another show… 



Life update: 

*My skin has been breaking out really bad lately, and my face is constantly red. To the point where I feel like it looks puffy, and make-up just looks really bad on me. And last night we went for happy hour after work, because one of my co-workers resigned. I almost didn’t want to go because we were going to an outdoor bar, and I didn’t want the sunlight emphasizing my skin. Pretty stupid, huh? It’s just that my face feels irritated as it is, and I’m really self-conscious about it. I’m going to the dermatologist on Tuesday to see what I could do for it. 

*I finally signed up for that Taekwondo class I’ve been wanting to go to. My first one is on Tuesday night. Can’t wait! I hope I enjoy it. 

*I have been trying to get this entry posted since 8pm. However, my internet doesn't like to work when there's a thunderstorm. So I killed time by watching Friends reruns. I forgot how good that show could be. 

I also decided to type up this entry on MS word, and then just paste it onto LJ once my internet service was working again. Unfortunately for me, it wasn't that easy. The layout of the entry, and the fonts kept screwing up. Loss of patience and a sore hand later, LJ finally cooperated. Just in time for bed. Nighty night.

My shower is broken for the time being, so I'm stuck home for the afternoon. I'm a little annoyed since I want (need) to go shopping, so I'm just going to have to wait until tomorrow. Unfortunately, the weather forecast says thunderstorms for Sunday, so I don't know what I'll be doing.

So far, 2 of of my favorite shows had their season finales:


Bones )

*In other news, I got tickets for the American Idol tour :) The concert's in July and I'm so excited! Tickets went on sale this morning and of course I overslept because I went out last night.  I was still able to find tickets, but ticketmaster kept rejecting my credit card. I then ended up losing the tickets they were holding for me. My friend from work called me in the midst of all this, and witnessed me yelling at my computer for missing out on the tickets for something so dumb.

Luckily the Idols will be in NY for more than one night, so I was able to find tickets and a credit card that ticketmaster approved of. Whew!

*As I mentioned before, I went out last night after work with my best friend to this nice restaurant here in Astoria. They have 2 for 1 drink specials on Friday nights for ladies, so I had a Coconut Mint Mojito. I was planning on having a second one, but one was more than enough. It was good, but the mixture of coconut flavoring and mint was a bit overpowering so I couldn't finish it.

I love exotic drinks :) They're more fun than my standard Corona or Bacardi Limon and Sprite. The only problem is that they are very hit-or-miss (not to mention expensive) so I don't drink them too often.
