Current Mood: Excited that it's almost 4:30-ish

Currently Listening to: Rough Landing, Holly by Yellowcard

1. Determine the best dates to travel within the next few months.
2. Decrease the volume of stuff on my desk by at least 50%.
3. Send greetings to SD via the US Postal Service.
4. Finish cross-stitch project #4.
5. De-dirt the apartment via various methods.

Current Mood: Delightfully chilly

Currently Listening to: You Don't Know How It Feels by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

1. Everyone should have a personal motto. Like "Indeed." or "Your silence is golden."
2. Trying to eat Sunday brunch at The Cracker Barrel is like trying to find meaning in a Ben Stiller movie. So, we went to Frank's instead.
3. Cooler weather makes me happy.
4. Texas played a decent game against UNL on Saturday. I still think we should've won, but at least it was close. (2 points)
5. The meaning of 'gunk.' Ask Petar. It's a fun story.

Current Mood: Tired, but still plugging away at e-mails

Currently Listening to: Give It To Me by the J. Geils Band

1. Ate sushi with Monelle for lunch. Made me happy on a day full of clouds and rain and humidity and...you get the drift, I hope.
2. Got semi-soaked by one of the many downpours that occurred in BR. Thank goodness for s. It kept me somewhat out of the precipitation. Not 100%, but trust me it would've been hard to stay that way for anyone out of doors during that time. For real.
3. Supped with T. Ate too much at The Chimes. Followed by ColdStone. Gluttony is the new pink. Or something like that.
4. Finished Son of a Witch. Great book. As usual with Maguire's books, I got somewhat confused by the timeline (he skips from past to present a lot), but I truly enjoyed learning more about Liir and his journey to becoming a son of a witch.
5. Avoided doing house-hold chores, such as laundry and vaccuuming. Just didn't feel like it. Maybe tonight will be different. Slim chance. But you never can tell.

Current Mood: Introspective

Currently Listening to: Livin' On the Edge by Aerosmith

Today's Goal: File. Lots of filing to do.

Current Mood: Groggy...again

Currently Listening to: Louise by Taylor Hawkins

Today's Goal: Supper with T.

1. They've already replaced one of the 'main' characters with another actress.
2. Sara Gilbert has joined the cast as a new character.

1. Re-watched Garden State. I  Zach Braff. And the music. And the dialogue. I just like that movie a whole bunch.
2. Bought Prarie Home Companion on DVD. I hope to watch it tonight.
3. Enjoyed the fact that Nebraska won again on the road. (I'm a little nervous about this weekend's game against Texas. It is at home. But it IS Texas. I'll start majorly freaking out on Thursday, I'm sure.)
4. Vaccuumed the apartment very, very thoroughly.
5. Opened the windows. It was a gorgeous weekend!

Current Mood: Rainy - just like the weather

Currently Listening to: SOS by Rihanna

These are a few of the things that make me . Enjoy the list!

• Thank You for Smoking - With dialogue such as this, how can a movie be wrong?                                                                                                                                               Jeff Megall: Sony has a futuristic sci-fi movie they're looking to make.
  Nick Naylor: Cigarettes in space?
  Jeff Megall: It's the final frontier, Nick.
  Nick Naylor: But wouldn't they blow up in an all oxygen environment?
  Jeff Megall: Probably. But it's an easy fix. One line of dialogue. 'Thank God we invented the... you know, whatever device.'  AND Nick Naylor: That's the beauty of argument, if you argue correctly, you're never wrong. (There's a log more, but I don't want to ruin the movie for you. Seriously, go out and rent/buy this movie now.)
• Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - I have gushed about this show a lot in the past few weeks. And I probably will continue to gush over it. Last night's episode was thought provoking, funny and well acted. Can I honestly gush more? I think I'm in love. <Sigh>
• Little Children - Book that I tried to read this summer while in SD. (I even had my parents check it out from a library for me!) I picked up yesterday at the bookstore (around 5:00 PM) and read it while waiting for the bus, riding the bus and waiting for Heroes and Studio 60 to start. I may burn in h-e-l-l for saying this, but I think I may like this book more than I liked Election. I am waiting for lightning to strike me where I sit. Waiting...
• Chuck Klosterman - Even though he is from ND (a place that claims to be a 'state'), I really like his writing. I have read 2 of his 4 books in the past month and plan on reading the other 2 soon. This may be the second thing that I have liked from ND. The first being my cousin-in-law, of course.
• Celery - I used to only like celery as a filler for salads and soups and with Mom's pork roasts, but I have recently discovered that I really enjoy celery as a snack. Usually with peanut butter or reduced fat cheese. There has to be something to give it some flavor, afterall.

Time to be productive. I guess.

Remember that Veronica Mars is on the new CW tonight (9EST/8CST).

I am subtle.

Current Mood: Procrastinate-y

Currently Listening to: Life's Been Good by the Eagles

• Keith getting into trouble over Kendall. I saw it coming from a mile away, but it was still entertaining.
• Wallace's roommate crushing on Veronica.
• Wallace's roommate's relationship with Wallace. They seem to get along rather well for freshman roomies that don't know each other. I feel that this could end soon. Especially considering his opening remarks that he had specifically asked to not be placed with someone like Wallace. I feel a conflict over differences coming up.
• Veronica & Logan together again. It won't last long, I fear. Veronica's freaking out too much about key cards and titles for it to last too long.
• Dick getting kicked out of on-campus housing due to his drunkeness and behaviors. Very realistic. His interaction with the RA was too perfect.
• New mix of We Used to Be Friends during the opening sequence was sweet.

Overall, the show was good. It did seem a little slow at times, but I think that was just due to the transition from Neptune High to college. Next week it should be getting better with Veronica going through sorority recruitment.

nip/tuck Highlights:

• Rosie O'Donnell bringing white trashy back. She was way too perfect at that role.
• Scientology = cult? Who knew?
• Christian's sex scene with Dawn (Rosie) made me want to vomit.
• I know that Season 4 is being brought to us by the letters A, S and S. But did we really need to see Rosie's behind?
• Pay $500,000 for your girlfriend and then your girlfriend stops answering your calls. As Earl would say, karma's a bitch.
• Be careful of who picks you up at a bar. It's most likely someone who will play Operation while you sleep.

MoSus and I enjoyed another rousing game of nip/tuck texting during last night's show. Although, I am still somewhat scarred by the thought of the daughter/stepfather rodeoshow, it was a good show.
