I wish someone would block eBay from my computer (in a way). I’ve only used it three times, but each of those times I went nuts. In the span of three minutes tonight, I bid on the l.e.i. shoes that I had and ruined (new, black instead of my beloved brown ones), a Zune 120 (which I’m sure I’ll be outbid on, thank heaven), and flat out bought a 2005 LOTR Page-a-day calendar. I loved the 2005 version; all full of gloss and greatness (unlike the 2006 which was flat and dull).
Yes, I need help. I had to buy an outdated calendar because they don’t make them anymore. Except for the day of the week, I can use it with no problem. I use the old pages as hall passes for the students, so you can see that having the calendar was an absolute MUST. Mom bought me a Harry Potter version last year, and I just don’t get the same thrill each day when I see the new picture. The 2005 version is trilogy inclusive, which means lots of Boromir. Oh, god, just think if they made a Boromir Page-a-day calendar! I’d buy 100 of them to have on reserve. Oh! This is amazing–the company I bought the calendar from was Intergalactic Trading Company; the same place I bought all my SG-1 patches for Dragon*Con…and I didn’t even realize it until after I had bought it. FATE, dammit!

This is my life and there’s (still) no Mekhi Phifer. We had three days of bomb threats at work, and other than that, not much is happening there.
Anyway, dude, I figured out why I love Pushing Daisies so much! In my car, the only thing I’ve been listening to for months now is the Harry Potter series on my Zune. Who’s the narrator? None other than Jim Dale, who is also the narrator for Pushing Daisies. No wonder I love the show. His voice is the first one I hear every day! Although this show is absolutely fantastic, I think it’s contributing to my loneliness. I’m Olive. Totally.
Heroes will find it’s second season footing, but I’m not hating it as is, so I say, “Keep on!” Survivor gave me a moment of dread when it looked like James was doomed, only for him to come back with the Immunity Idol AND a win. Yay! Ugly Betty. Oh, Ugly Betty, you have completely redeemed yourself from the sadness of Santos with Cliff. LOVE Cliff! I want to be Mark. Seriously. SGA is still good, though I miss Elizabeth terribly.
Hobbit and Istar are doing great, and want to wish everyone a Happy Halloween! 
What follows here is my personal take on “The End” and obviously,
(Here Be Spoilers)
So there you have it.
I can’t wait to see what everyone else thinks.
Agree? Disagree?
Reading it at all?

Scared
I’m only one chapter in and I’m trying to stop.
I hate myself a little bit right now. Once someone converted images to text, the allure was too strong.
Have mercy!
NOT YET, WALTER! NOT YET! S09.Ep03 “Origin” : Cam and Teal’c were going to free Daniel and Vala from their connection with Harrid and Sallis by throwing the Ancient device into the energy vortex of the gate. Walter was dialing the gate, and they needed perfect timing so they wouldn’t miss the vortex.
Anyway, my point is that it’s TOO SOON to be posting spoilers from Book 7, dammit. The NY Times ran its “review” which obviously included spoilers, so as to trump all other media outlets. I’m afraid that I may just avoid the computer until I’ve finished reading, sometime around Sunday morning. I’ll probably just stay away from any news sources, LJ, RSS readers (which will KILL me), and anything else that may reveal too much. I’ll stick to my DVRd shows and wait anxiously for my book.
Another quote from SG-1 is befitting my mailman, who truly is an idiot every day of the week (S03.Ep14 “Foothold”). If you’ve ever seen the Chevy Chase movie Funny Farm, you can imagine just how nuts this guy is. I think he delivers mail to whomever he wants, whenever he wants. I know I received my neighbor’s tax refund once. I’d put my chances at getting my book delivered on time at around 50%. Now I can tell you, if I don’t get my book, I’m going to be hell to deal with, especially if everyone is sold out (which I doubt will happen). When Book 6 came out, I was living with the ‘rents and their mailman is supurb. He even drove all the way up their driveway to hand deliver my book to me. Damn, I should have had it shipped to them! Arrrgh! Why didn’t I think?!? Anyway, I’d say things will be alright, and I’m going to stop rambling now.
Indeed.
