ONO. They're kidnapping Eliot Stabler's son on SVU tomorrow? I CANT BELIEVE IM GONNA MISS IT.
Watch it online later? - Derrick
Sigh. I keep forgetting about the internet! - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet
I've never heard of anything! - Akiva Moskovitz
Picked up Book 1 of the Codex Alera from the public library. I have heard good things. Also reading the Vampire Earth series, which is interesting.
have you read the dresden books? that's jim butcher's other series, i like it better than the codex ones - Sir Shuping
yup, I'm on Summer Knight right now. i usually read one series at a time, but there's holds on all of them so I'm doing a few series concurrently - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet
just buy the dresden books! I'm a bad influence about that series :) - Sir Shuping
lol. Im trying to be less of a book glutton. The publib's forced wait is good for me - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet
that's one of the few series i make plans to buy...that and certain collections of comic strips - Sir Shuping
So, doing the Biggest Loser tempts me. until the chicks go on tv in their sports bras, and then I'm all HAIL NO.
x_x - Derrick
My belly is for mine eyes only. - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet
Why are Jillians arms a diff color than her face/neck? That's weird and distracting. I'd tell her, but she could kill me with those biceps
I am watching The Biggest Loser. While eating cheesecake. hahahahahaha
This is counterproductive to my wants... - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet
Reminds me of that House episode where he's sitting on the couch watching Biggest Loser while eating a quart of ice cream. He says to Wilson, "I like to pretend I'm taunting them" - Spidra Webster
lol. I love to do that :) - Jason
I like to think that I'm helping the universe. matter is never destroyed and all that - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet
Otto ate a batch of my coupons. And pooped them out practically whole. I love my dog, but WHY would you eat that?
Jillian is hard core, dude. I need a trainer like that to whip my shit into shape. And f she could coem to work with me and yell at the assmonkeys, that'd be cool too.
Seriously. She's mean. But I sorta like that in my trainers. I'm itching to go buy a trainer. For January, I think. - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet
Finishing up packing. I love Southwest for 2 free bags. Going to try my damnedest to not bring work-work with me, only writing-work.
Colleen would like a vacation involving a beach house, a pile of trashy romances, and nothing that looks like work.
For Mary: please to laugh today - Funny Geico Pot Hole Commercial - http://www.youtube.com/watch...
For Mary: please to laugh today - Funny Geico Pot Hole Commercial
Play
this never gets old! - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet from Bookmarklet
LOL. LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL! - Mary Carmen
I don't HAVE a phone. Cuz..I'm a pothole? - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet
Volvo is using Twilight to sell their cars. Kill. me. Now.
Indeed. Volvos are built to last... - T. Brent, technopeasant
You know, only Americans would have a "hoarding" disease that requires them to carry four motgages because they have too much CRAP. this show is CRAYZEE.
ok, now i have t turn this on - Mary Carmen
Nicolas Cage cameo, eh? - Spidra Webster
four montages? - Steve is older than ever
It's expensive to be a hoarder. - Laura (hear me raura?)
4 montages? Dear lord, even one is too much :D - Mo Kargas
4 mortgages. because she filled one house with crap, and had to buy another. And both have been double mortgaged. $7k a month. Watching this makes me want to beat sense into these people. - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet
I think that young woman has chronic fatigue or somethin. She yawns like 4 times a minute. Or the editors thought it would be interesting for us to watch her yawn over and over again. - Laura (hear me raura?)
They are expressing her laziness at failing to stay focused for 4 hours of cleaning, methinks... - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet
In addition to extensive therapy, they should all be required to watch The Story of Stuff < www.storyofstuff.com/ > every time they want to acquire another item. I find it helps me when I get the shopping bug. - Laura (hear me raura?)
Mom always told me I had to throw something away (or donate it) if I got something new. It helps keep my admittedly clutterful self from becoming a crazyhoarderlady. - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet
Thanks for that link, Laura. It's a bit over-simplified, but it's interesting. Eh. On second thought, I had to quit watching. Too much overblown stuff in between useful bits of info. With a few tweaks, that could be a useful video. - Kamilah Gill
I feel like hoarding is a tragic collision of cultures, the Great Depression culture and the Walmart culture. Having the feeling that one must save everything because it might be needed later combined with a world where things are cheap, accessible, and disposable. - Laura (hear me raura?)
Kamilah, I promise that video will save you a buck or two. - Laura (hear me raura?)
This intervention guy is like the Chris Hansen for druggies.
Also, the intervention kinda loses something when the interven-ee is too high to get what's going on. - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet
"there are a bunch of people here who love you like crazy and they feel like they're losing you and they want to fight to get you back.... Want some sweet tea?" - Meredith
I have to confess to being a fan of Intervention. It's wrong, I know. Thankfully, it's on same time as House now, and House always wins. - Rochelle Rochelle
LOL Meredith - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet
Behold the wonder of a TiVo with two tuners! I can be at my reference shift and STILL get to watch House and Intervention eventually! :) - Meredith
(TiVo-less in Wisconsin) - Rochelle Rochelle
I splurged on more-than-basic cable, but I havent yet reached the heights of TiVo... - ωαřмaiden, MFA'd poet
Oh, hey! Another episode. This misery is endless. - Rochelle Rochelle
watching intervention and thinking O HAIL NO
Between "Intervention" and "Hoarders" I am ready to write off the human race.
You are not alone in that. - Ha3rvey (Free hugs!)
My belly is full of cheese & dough. I am slightly less grumpy (if not slightly more lumpy!)
