OMG TV is back!

( cut for House and SVU spoilers )

I just want to say, I love the part of crime shows where Random Innocent Bystander stumbles over a dead body. I have been known to shout at the TV, pointing out the many hilarious possibilities for where the dead body is going to show up.

It's possible there's something wrong with me.

acostilow tagged me, so here goes:

Name your Top 20 List Of Lust, in no particular order. Your neighbor or grade school teacher doesn't count. The list can be male, female or mixed. They can be real life celebrities or characters in a movie or TV show. For example, you might want to gag Mariska Hargitay, while still lusting after Butchy McFabulous Olivia Benson.

I absolutely love listening to it rain. I even like when there's thunder and lightning and it feels like the storm is going to shake the house down. I hate going out in the rain, but it's wonderful to be curled up inside, listening to the rhythm and knowing you're comfortable and safe. It's been raining for a couple hours, and I'm loving it. I went out on the porch for a minute just to watch, because it hasn't rained in so long and I can hear it better out there. Mostly I've been reading a wonderful long SGA fic, The Hostage Major by Frostfire and enjoying the sound of the rain.

There have been many happy things today. The rain, of course, and some excellent fic, and an SVU episode about a dead guy who had been sleeping with another guy named "Bull Dozer", and lunch at El Matador with Mary Beth.

Gods, my head hurts. I think it's because I've been sleeping too much, which is just fucked up. I should be able to sleep as much as I want!

I want to bake cookies, but I don't have the stuff to make cookies. I really need to go to the grocery store. Right now I'm eating cheerios out of the box.

I'm currently watching the pilot of SVU for the second time today. Chris Meloni is rilly rilly hot. Also, they showed another episode where he took off his shirt (and pants!) and he *does* really have that Jesus tattoo he has on Oz! Guh.

I haven't watched House yet. *loses at fandom*

So, yesterday was Supernatural. ( OMG Supernatural )

And then there was SVU! ( M.E. Warner is my new girl crush )

I haven't watched House yet, because I was too busy watching more Law & Order and X-Files reruns and reading SGA fic. I will definitely watch it tonight, though.

I am back home! I slept in my own bed, which was yay. I watched lots of TV, which was in no way different from what I was doing when I wasn't home. I went to the mall, where I discovered that size 12 Gap jeans don't fit me anymore and decided to go on a diet. Then I went to the Olive Garden. There is nothing incongruous about these two activities. I discovered that Jarhead is on at the $1.50 movie. Clearly, I must go see it, because Jake Gyllenhaal is pretty.

Tonight is House, Supernatural, and SVU. THEY ARE ALL NEW YAY!

Grr. I bought some CD-Rs so I could burn Twitch City and due South season 4 for picara, but they won't work. The computer keeps insisting that they're not writable. I tried a CD-RW I already had and it worked fine. I don't have any other CD-Rs, though, so I can't test to see if it's griping about all CD-Rs. Stupid computer.

I broke down and bought Oz Season 3 today. I bought jeans a couple days ago. Also a pair of cords from The Gap that I am totally in love with. I was going to buy them in another color, which they didn't have at the store when I was there, but Gap.com is closed, apparently. Who CLOSES their WEBSITE? Morons.

I'm still enjoying my vacation, which is almost over. I've spent quite a lot of time watching reruns of Law and Order: SVU. Also M*A*S*H and The X-Files. When I was at Best Buy buying Oz I noticed that SVU is out on DVD. I was tempted, but then I realized there isn't really much point to buying it. SVU is on TV an average of five times a day already. Same for M*A*S*H. And The X-Files just costs too much. Seriously, it's like eighty dollars a season.

My parents are thinking about visiting me Labor Day weekend. If they do, hopefully I can buy a bed then and they can help me transport it. In secret news we're not telling my parents: I bought a full/queen quilt already. (No, not the one on Ebay.) Mother wants to go shopping at Grapevine, which is going to be all kinds of fun on a holiday weekend, I'm sure. At least I'm not driving. She also wants to eat at Panera Bread. I eat there at least once a week, and any time I mention it to her she acts like I'm doing it specifically to make her jealous.

Well, that was definitely a bunch of unconnected (and probably boring) news. But I haven't updated in awhile, and I have very little to say. I do, however, have a new icon. It's by pearl_o. See? Dan is so very hurty.

I have decided that watching four episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in one weekend is not healthy. I just watched one about a cult, and there were creepy skeletons and pregnant children with guns. And not enough Christopher Meloni. And how sad is it that I find SVU more traumatic than Oz?

I have accomplished things today! I spent several hours at the library working on a couple assignments for Reference that were only due, oh, about 4 weeks ago. Go me! So I've nearly finished the Reference Questions assignment and the Reference Resources Comparison assignment, except for typing them up. In the process, I decided that anyone who uses actual BOOKS to look things up when the same information is available on the Internets is stupid. I mean, there's Who's Who, for example. Now, before the Internet, I'm sure Who's Who was a very useful resource if you needed to know who someone was and some basic facts about them. Now, though, you can use Marquis Who's Who on the Web, or just Google, so there's no point trekking to the library and hunting down books in which it will be difficult to find things because they don't have search functions. Ditto Encyclopedia Britannica, the Gale Dictionary of Music, the Gale Dictionary of Art, the Oxford English Dictionary, Contemporary Authors, Books in Print, and Ulrich's Periodicals Directory. So that's what I learned doing these assignments: reference books are stupid. Except for the World Almanac, which I am totally in love with. Every bit of information EVER is in the World Almanac.

I've been worried the past couple of weeks, because I'm so behind in Reference. I don't know how much time I have left, but it's not very much. I really don't want to take an incomplete, because I just want the semester to be over. I didn't know if I really had time to make up all the assignments I've missed, but I think I might be able to now. I hope so, anyway.

Ooh ooh ooh! I also got to try out my new wireless card on a different wireless network! The library has a wireless network, so I got to use my own laptop and access the Internet and everything, which was yay.
