The title should actually be “Weekend O’ Hob and the Little Guy, Too!” but there just wasn’t enough space. I’ve felt incredibly tired this week. I haven’t had it this bad since grad school, where I would be sitting in class so tired that it physically hurt to stay awake. I’ve been dropping as soon as I get home, but I can’t seem to get enough sleep. I did catch Fringe of course, but that was the only show I watched first-run this week. I still have Eureka and Top Design to watch, but I have all weekend to get caught up.

The plan is to plant myself firmly on the couch and not move until prompted to do so by Hobbit or Istar. The only thing that would make this a better plan is if it were to rain all weekend.

Current Mood: Peaceful

Can’t be on here long…Eureka in 20 minutes! Just wanted to say thanks for the grins re: last post. I just had to take a little moment to wallow, but I’m much better now.

Work went surprisingly well today. I hope it holds.

Current Mood: Relieved

I have been feeling weird today; almost hollow. I considered writing a whole post about how much better things were when I was at WVU and how I missed having friends around.

Then, it happened. My whole life was summed up in a phone call from my mom. “Call me right back so I can see if this new phone works properly,” she said.

That’s me. I’m the person you call only to have some menial task fulfilled. I’m the person you call because you know I’ll be home with nothing else to do. This is what I am.

Excuse me while I go be emo.

Current Mood: Depressed

Double cookies to anyone who gets the title of this post. Anyway, I got a haircut today. Actually, I’ve cut my own hair every day for about a month now, so I was in desperate need of professional help (yes, in more ways than one). I tried to do the dorktastic “take a picture of myself” thing, but it didn’t turn out well, so just picture Carter, Season 8; more “Threads” than “It’s Good To Be King”, but I’m pleased.

I’m seriously jonesing for more Fringe. Tuesdays (Eureka) can’t come soon enough, and I’ve already ‘thonned Heroes, Pushing Daisies, Spaced, and Doctor Who (including Christmas specials). If the trade-off for going back to work means Fall TV Schedules, I’m ready. Project Runway and Shear Genius each proved that there’s no logic in the judges’ thought, so while I will watch them more as “shows” than “competitions”.

Current Mood: Good

There’s talk of a new RoboCop movie. Normally, I wouldn’t care one bit about this news, but something in the report punched me in the gut…hard. The first RoboCop movie was released 21 years ago. TWENTY-ONE FRELLIN’ YEARS AGO. How f’n old are we?!? I was no youngster when RoboCop came out TWENTY-ONE FRELLIN’ YEARS AGO.

I know time is marching on and all that jazz, but I’m still in my Peter Pan mode, refusing to grow up. However, when I read things like the above, I start to think that maybe, just maybe, I’m getting old anyway. This is a dark, dark day.

Current Mood: Morose

Am I the only one in America who’s not interested in The Dark Knight?  There is absolutely no chance that I’ll see it in a theater, and there’s little chance that I’ll even dl it.  I’m sure it’s actually, you know, dark, as in brightness, and that doesn’t bode well for dl’s.  Meh.  Just tell me what happens and it will be as good as being there….better even.

SGA is on tonight.  Whoop-de-doo.  I used to love Fridays for that very reason, but this is a Keller ep, so, Bah!  Maybe I’ll hold today’s recordings of Voyager and watch them later instead.  Hey, either way, it’s a Picardo kind of night, no? 

My grandmother came out of her surgery much better for it.  They removed some clots and infection and she’s on her way home.  Dad said we might try to make Mom go out for steak tonight, and I certainly hope we do.  There’s a new dish at Texas Steakhouse I want to try:

Coffee Rubbed Steak Skillet: Mesquite-grilled filet tips hand-seasoned with ground coffee and Texas spices served sizzlin’ hot over chipotle BBQ red-eye gravy on a bed of red bliss potatoes, sautéed mushrooms and spicy roasted corn ‘n peppers. Garnished with fresh sliced jalapeños for that added kick.

Yum.

Current Mood: Hungry

I’ve let a lot go by without mentioning it on here. Now that I’ve closed ZeroMuch (well, archived it), I’ll try to write more. Rejoice.

Recently, I’ve had a mini-vacation to TN, seen Ben and Jesse, had poison ivy all over my face (second doctor’s visit in a month…yay), and waited for my grandmother’s surgery to stop giving her problems. I found a really cool Zune clock to add to HobStar (my Zune), so I’m really happy about that. I don’t wear a watch and my sorry TracFone is just not something I’m willing to whip out everytime I want to check the time. Having a clock on my Zune will be perfect because now I can watch Shaun of the Dead AND time the AP exams properly. Heh.

Television-wise, we’re gearing up for a late Summer viewing schedule which includes old Star Trek: Voyager, SGA, Project Runway, Big Brother, and Shear Genius. I’m not overly enthused with the newer shows, especially SGA. I seriously think that unless they lose Dr. Keller, my viewing days are limited. I hate that a show that has meant so much to me has brought about so much disgust, but I can’t help it; she just grates.

Current Mood: Okay
