Seriously am I the only one sick to death of seing these mindless things cluttering up my flist? Why on earth would I or anyone else care what someone things are the perfect songs for insert-fandom-here ? Does coming up with a list of songs written and recorded by other people really take any skill, talent or original thought? Why do people think they've done something special and feel compelled to share this list of what are most likely their own favorite songs with others?
Okay, rant done. I return you all to your regularly scheduled flists.

Just checking the TiVo for upcoming "Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip" episodes in my continuing bizarre need to watch a show I don't like
and saw that next week's episode is titled.....
are you ready for this.....
What Kind of Day Has It Been?
What's the theory if it worked for "Sports Night" and it worked for "West Wing" it must be right for "Studio 60?" As if he hadn't copped enough from the other two shows already.
Oh and BTW I have 3 on my TiVo that I haven't watched yet --
basically everything after Allison's appearance.

I still have major cleaning and clearing up work to do around the house before my house guests arrive Thursday night and I have been procrastinating by writing another Gilmore Girls story featuring Richard & Emily. Climbing the Staris

Okay, so I wrote a new story, though I know most all of my FList aren't Gilmore Girls fans. I'm still happy to be writing again.
I have a few ideas for other stories in the West Wing, and Battlestar Galactica fandoms. I'm hoping this will help me jumpstart the writing muscles again.
If you feel like checking out a Richard & Emily Gilmore story, it's called "Fingerprints & Mug Shots" and can be found here.
ETA: Not that my FList doesn''t know this already, but clearly I have lost my mind. I was talked into posting the story on FF.net. I think I'm going to be sick to my stomach. I've never posted anything there. I don't know why exactly I find it so daunting, but I do.
The FF.net link is Fingerprints and Mug Shots

Because there were so many lovely Allison moments from last night, I just had to make some new userpics.

Anyway... it was a sad farewell for me tonight. There was a brief tender moment between Lorelai and Richard and also between Lorelai and Emily, but we didn't get the hug at least I've been longing to see between mother and daughter. Oh well, at least they finally got Luke and Lorelai together in the end and that's something.

Allison will appear on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip on 5/24. This may be old news to everyone else, but I'm elated. I don't know anything about who she'll play. If anyone has any info I'd love to know, but regardless, I'm looking forward to seeing Allison speaking Aaron's words and possibly sharing the screen again with Brad and Tim. I hope she gets something wonderfully funny to play and not just a "guest host."

I fell in love with Shrek (the movie that is) the first time I saw it. Shrek 2 was great and Shrek the Third is really good. I laughed uproariously through the whole thing. I guess nothing can really rekindle the magic of the first one as all the fairy tales from my childhood blended before my eyes. Still, it was really good, very clever the typical exacting attention to detail and witty writing that is clearly not just for the kiddies. I did feel that as is typically the case each sequel rather drops off, compared to what else is out there though this is among the very best in my opinion.

Yes, that's how boring my life is right now, taking an 8th grade science test looked like fun. Let's just leave it at that.

There was not nearly enough Bill and Laura on BSG tonight *grumble*, but it was still a good episode.
I've started rereading all the Harry Potter books in preparation for #7. Just out of curiosity, is anyone else, or am I the only nutball?

I got my new car today! It's not a baby blue mustang convertible, but isn't it purty?
It's a "metallic jade" 2007 Nissan Altima with "blond" interior, navigation, bluetooth, heated leather seats, a back up camera and LoJack that's being installed on Monday. Plus many more things I need to learn how to work, but SQUEEEE!

Those 42 people are teaching us something about ourselves: that freedom is the glory of God, that democracy is its birthright, and that our vote matters.

I don't remember having to explain to Italians that our problem wasn't with them, but with Mussolini! Why does the U.S. have to take every Arab country out for an ice cream cone? They'll like us when we win! Thousands of madrasas teaching children nothing, nothing, nothing but the Koran and to hate America. Who do we see about that? ... Do I want to preach America? Judeo-Christianity? No. If their religion forbids them from playing the trumpet, so be it. But I want those kids to... look at a globe. Be exposed to social sciences, history. Some literature... They'll like us when we win.
No good reason behind those quotes except they're the first that popped into my head. Chalk it up to my mood, which isn't particularly good at the moment.

Saw Running with Scissors tonight. While, I know some of you on my FList might actually like this flick, I thought it was horrid. I seriously wanted to get up and walk out but had brought two people with me and I kept hoping it would just end soon.
The only good thing about it in my opinion was the soundtrack well that and Jill Clauburgh she was wonderful as always. I thought Annette Benning was playing basically a version of the same crazy woman she's done in several films now. She may very well be nominated for this, but I actually hope that's not the case.
If anyone sees it I will be very interested to see what your opinions are. My friends liked it.
On the one hand I met Kathryn Joosten tonight. I told her she had become my favorite part of Desperate Housewives Also, that my friends and I were heartbroken when her character was killed off on WW. She said she was heartbroken too. She's a great lady. Great sense of humor and very friendly. She also told me that we would be seeing more of her this season on DH. That was the good part...
The bad... I also spoke to a friend working on The Megan Mullally Show and heard what a nightmare it is there. This is just so depressing to me because I keep thinking if I could get on a show like that I might like my job and therefore my life again. It's been so long since I've been happy and I keep thinking that the key is to once again get a job I love. Now, I don't know what to do with my life. I really want to enjoy my work again. Hell at the moment, I'm just worried about working again and it's only been about 2 months since the dumbass show I was doing went on hiatus.
- Mood:
gloomy
As I said, clearly this is my problem and I do enjoy the show, but I don't personally see anyone in the cast shining as brightly as John Spencer, Allison Janney or Richard Schiff. I don't see myself making an LJ icon of any of these people, but I'm hoping that I am proven wrong. It is after all only the 3rd episode.

Spent yesterday in San Francisco with the family. I played the generous big sister and bought like $270 worth of clothes at the Levi's store for two of my brothers. The City was gorgeous and like 85 degrees. It was heaven. Then we had dinner outside at The Cheesecake Factory on top of Macy's over looking Union Square.
Now, if I could just hear about a good job, life would be great.
