I just realized that I almost never update from the LJ update page. Wow. I really don't like it at all.

Anywho, HI f-list! I may have neglected to mention that I'm on limited internet rations till after New Years on account of how it seemed silly to haul my desktop home for like... 10 days. So, yes, borrowing the mommy's laptop & the wireless was being wonky yesterday to top it off. In summary, I just slogged through the last 80 entries on my f-list.

I have been crocheting and wrapping prezzies and watchin tv for the last 48 hours or so. Seriously, nothing else. I don't have much wrapping or crocheting left to do, though, so yay for that.

TV: So I watched most of Wedding Wars last night with my mom. I was actually surprised at how good it was. I honestly hadn't expected much from it (other than the obligatory shiny-ness of Uncle Joey Jesse/Simon Tam), but it was really pretty good. It didn't feel half-assed like made-for-tv-movies usually do. It was good and hopeful and shiny and made me happy. And I really don't ask for much beyond that.

Other TV: So I watched Numb3rs on Friday. Yeah, I don't know what to say about that. I haven't actually watched the show in 4 or 5 episodes... so, though I knew what was coming, I had no clue they were going about it so... incredibly stupidly. Come on! They really couldn't come up with a better reason than that? I do not often feel insulted by television even when it is pretty insulting to my intelligence, but Numb3rs, you offend me. I think I may just give up on this season and start fresh next year.

Other other TV: I also caught up on like the last 6 or 7 episodes of Criminal Minds yesterday. I still like it. With the things the rest of my TV has been doing to me (I'm looking at you, House) that really is a rousing cheer of joy. New chick hasn't made me hate her yet and that's always promising.

It's a lot easier to watch tv when I don't have to, like, go to class and work and stuff. Also, when the internet is broken, that helps. Not that I would wish such a thing. *hugs internet*

I'm gonna stop babbling now. :)

You know you have a sad life when you've watched the crazy-tv-imported-from-random-ass-countries channel so long they switch countries. Even sadder yet when you're upset about changing countries because you were really enjoying the Russian music variety show and don't want to watch Latvian news. *sads*

Off to go find a better channel.

I really can't seem to stop spamming my LJ. I probably need professional help for this.

CJ sorta returns on November 17th in a Las Vegas crossover. Jordan and Woody will be on the episode.

...what? I... have no words. NBC takes the most crack ever. And still no word on when they're going to get around to starting the new season.

Why do they keep playing commercials for the DVD release of The Little Mermaid during Miami Ink? Chill, tv, I'm gonna be there Tuesday buying it, so chill!

Also, why am I watching Miami Ink? I fucking hate this show.
BUT!
There was a chick on it a few minutes ago getting an octupus below her belly button with tentacles creeping downward. And she had a pet ring-tailed lemur. Way fucking cool. And hot.
So the show managed to interest me for a few minutes, but it took incipient tentacle porn and hot chick using 5 syllable words. She was explaining the roots of the word cephalopod; is there anything hotter than that? Also, explaining that the lemur is a prosimian, and giving detailed evolutionary lineage. I am in last LUST, even, with random girl on Miami Ink.
Don't worry, though, Jen's totally with me on this one.

Also? Why did I spend five hours today playing Sims 2? I'm so totally off the band wagon. *sigh*

HOW DID NO ONE THINK TO TELL ME THAT THE HOUSE PREMIERE WAS GOING TO BE ON AN HOUR EARLIER THAN USUAL?

THANKS, WORLD.

Strep throat officially sucks. But on the upside, I got to go to the doctor who's known me since before I was born (literally - he did mom's pre-natal care), who I haven't seen in years, which was oddly pleasant.
And, if the flashbacks to childhood weren't strong enough already, he prescribed me liquid amoxycillin because my throat was hurting too much for me to want to think about opting for pills (in fact, I almost opted for the shot). So yes, I'm taking pink bubblegum flavored antibiotics that are one of my strongest, overriding memories from childhood, because I got a damn lot of throat and ear infections when I was little. Stupid tonsils.

In other news, I turn 21 in less than two weeks. Which is awesome. :)

My sister Susan gave me the option of, instead of getting a birthday present, her giving me cash right before I go to Amsterdam... which was obviously my pick. As she owes me approximately a half billion favors for reasons I won't go into now, this is a very good thing. Yay Amsterdam money!

This has been your RL update for the day. Fannish update pending due to the fact that I still haven't watch the finale of Numb3rs. It can't possibly upset me as much as CJ, can it? No, wait, don't tell me, I don't want to know.

Ooh, House finale tonight! I just remembered that and it brightens my day.

ETA: I almost forgot to mention, I won second place at the weekly icon challenge over on jordan_icons.

1 = The one that won.
2 = An alternate version of #1.
3 = The other icon I entered in the challenge.

A. It's here!!!!!

B. The Muckrakers are going to be playing on campus the Tuesday night of finals week. I'm so there. Who's with me? Also, I totally need to find some good pics so I can make Muckrakers icons. Cuz that would be awesome.

C. House is downloading so hopefully I will be able to watch it later.

D. I will probably change my layout tonight. Apparently four out of five people prefer the full-color normal version, so that's what I'm going with. I'm sure I'll post again when I'm finished. Now I just need to figure out what the hell to change the text links to that is squirrel-applicable.

E. There is no E. Everything else I have to say was crossed off my mental list because I take the elementary school advice of "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" way too much to heart in terms of going emo in my LJ. Suffice to say that school is eating my life and the rest of it is... not exactly going great either.

Mmm... House....
The scene with House and Wilson and the MRI? That was the best thing ever.

My f-list has officially taken over my brain.

I don't watch that much television. Really. CJ, L&O of various types with varying regularity... that was pretty much it.

I resisted the call of everyone on my f-list talking about how such-and-such a show is so great and the best thing since sliced bread.
And then I decided that they might be right.
So I started watching Lost. And got hopelessly addicted.
And tonight I decided to watch the season premiere of House. Partially because it came on after the premiere of Bones (which decidedly won me over). And now I am in love again. Damn House. Damn f-list. How I love thee.
I am hopelessly addict-able. What crack will my f-list addict me to next, I wonder?

Shows I intend to watch all of this season: Crossing Jordan, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, Law and Order: Criminal Intent, Bones, House, and Lost. I may or may not watch mothership Law and Order with any regularity as it seems to be sliding backwards in quality.
That is *it*. No more!

I have no idea how I'm going to manage to watch everything that I want to watch and still do everything else I need to do in life. Life needs TiVo.

I probably have RL things I need to be doing. But I don't want to do any of them. *blegh*

(BTW, amazonqueenkate and miriam_heddy, I blame you both for subliminally corrupting me into watching House. Thanks. ^.^ )

Now I'm off to find House icons instead of doing my reading for Anthropology of Gender.

Night!
