Glee

Dec. 7th, 2011 10:55 am
Last week I decided to break up with Glee. It's just so fucking terrible and their botching of the Santana story-line is basically unforgiveable. But I forgot to delete it from my DVR, so I have last night's episode sitting there and I'm trying to decide if I should delete it without watching it.  It's hard for me to do.  I'm a complete-ist and can't stand to stop watching a show before it ends.  I still watch The Simpsons for crying out loud, and that hasn't been very good for at least a decade!  (Though it manages to be juuuust good enough to keep me coming back.)

But Glee.  Christ.  I was going to do this whole post about all the things that Glee has done wrong and how the fuck does a show that showed such promise turn into such shit so quickly????? But then I thought I'd do one better and just refer you guys to the reviews of Todd VanDerWerff at the AV Club.  His assessments of Glee are absolutely brilliant, and he basically says every single thing I want to say about the show, but lack the talent to do so. 

So if you're still watching Glee, and have been trying to cut the cord like I have (and, really. Why wouldn't you?)  Check out the Glee reviews at the AV Club.  This is the link to this week's episode, which is by far one of the funniest pop-culture reviews I've ever read.  But you can go back through the archives and read some of his earlier reviews.

Shit day

Nov. 23rd, 2010 03:43 pm
I've had such a shit day. I hit a pot hole and it gave my car a flat tire.  AAA was there lickety-split, but then I went right to NTB to get the tire patched.  Only it couldn't be patched.  I needed a new tire, but my other rear tire was so close to needing to be replaced also, that I went ahead and got two.  Now, I love my car, but if anyone had told me that Mazdas require ridiculously expensive tires, I may have bought the Kia I was considering instead.  Not to mention it took NTB nearly TWO FUCKING HOURS to change my two tires.  I thought it'd be quick, and they said it would so I waited in the waiting room with G who was going bonkers.  

So I didn't get any of my errands done.  Which means I get to go out this weekend - yes the fucking weekend after Thanksgiving to finish my errands.  Because I fucking LOVE those crowds!  (No I don't.)

And I should be working on my nano story, but instead I'm fucking around here while G rests.  Because I need to complain that badly.

Oh, and LJ is screwed up.  I used to belong to this parenting community, but I unjoined quite a while ago.  Since I've been LJing mostly through LJ mobile now, I started getting their posts to my friends page again.  And it's a VERY active community, meaning I have to pass by ten of their posts before I get to one of my real friends posts.  Every time I'm on regular LJ, like from my computer, I unjoin again and I even stop watching.  Still getting their updates.  Also, when I post a comment to someone's post from my LJ mobile, the comment only shows up about half the time.  I recently left a comment for [livejournal.com profile] oncethrown and a couple for other people, which ever appeared on their posts.  

Anyway, I'm 26 weeks pregnant now and I'm looking every bit of it.  Some photos I snapped today:

Doldrums

Jan. 21st, 2010 01:36 pm
I'm suffering from a bad case of the Winter Doldrums.  It happens every year, but it feels worse this year.  I think it's because the weather has been even worse than normal.  I can't find a way to break out of it.  I had a little bit of a reprieve when G's daycare teacher had been out for two weeks and I had more than normal time to stay at home with him.  The worst part is that being home with him just made me realize even more that that is what I want to be doing - the stay at home mom bit.  So to have to come back to work on my normal schedule today is a major let down. 

I need to think cheerful thoughts, but I'm having a hard time forcing myself to do it.  All I can come up with is lame things, like promising [livejournal.com profile] samuraikitten  that I'd review another Ramona book.  Or beta'ing a sequel to a sequel to one of my favorite fics for [livejournal.com profile] oncethrown .  (Which isn't lame at all!  It's awesome!)

Instead, I'm thinking of synonyms for my doldrums.

Melancholy.
Listless.
Lethargy.
Blues.
Cheerlessness.
