Today was a shit day. You?

Let's pretend I refused to wallow or self-indulge (publicly) and I'm just going to talk about things that are making me happy(er).

  • GREECE! Oh, my god, you guys. [livejournal.com profile] kiffle and I are going to Greece! We're in the final stages of trip planning* but I need to talk about it now. [*When I say "we" are in the final stages of trip planning what I really mean to say is, "this trip wouldn't happen if not for kiffle and her expert trip planning skills. I mostly nod my head and say, 'okay.'"] We're going for a week around Labor Day and I CAN'T WAIT. \o/ Fuck the economy. Fuck two mortgages. I am going to spend some savings on myself and have one hell of a Grecian time!

  • Alan Sepinwall made a list of his favorite episodes of BSG. I really need to rewatch the entire series to make my list. I know for certain, though, that my list will never be complete without "Unfinished Business" right near the top.

  • New Big Bang Theory tonight! And then, at 8:30, I'm getting into bed with a glass of wine and Forever On The Mountain by James M. Tabor. [livejournal.com profile] kaelie recommended the book ages ago and I'm finally getting around to reading it. It's the perfect fix tonight. No matter how cranky I am, I am not stranded in a storm on Denali.

    ETA: Totally unrelated to any of the above, or my mood, my sister and I were talking this morning and she mentioned that today my step-father has to start taking his blood for his diabetes. WHAT DIABETES??? Ooops. That's what happens when you live in Michigan. People leave out pertinent details. Somehow, though, they never forget to send new photos of Chase. ;)

    After a week of running around like a crazy person, I stayed in bed yesterday until FIVE PM. It was glorious. I watched the first to episodes of Kings, and the last two episodes of Supernatural and Dollhouse. I also read Sheppard's Law and took a 2 hour nap. It was GLORIOUS. When I finally got out of bed, I continued to laze about reading the entirety of Shiver and finally watching Little Children. (My goodness, Patrick Wilson is handsome when he's out of Dan Dreiberg's glasses.

  • SPN: I loved "On the Head of a Pin" but, reading comments here and there, am I the only one? more on 04x16 and 04x17 )

  • Kings: I watched the first two episodes on the recommendation of [livejournal.com profile] carta and other and, for now, it's a keeper. I love the premise, Ian McShane is deliciously terrifying, and I'm compelled to see where the story goes.

  • Dollhouse: I was one or two episodes away from ditching Dollhouse but the last two episodes were enough to keep me for a little while. )

  • The entire cast of ST:TNG is reuniting on Family Guy tonight! (Clip here.) AWESOME.

  • I can't believe I haven't mentioned this yet. The new Indigo Girls CD was released on Tuesday! Oh, I love, love, love them and this CD. The 2 disc edition has a 2nd CD of all acoustic versions. Just 24 days until they're here in Ann Arbor!

  • On 3/25, [livejournal.com profile] carta did, "one year ago today, two years ago today, etc." memes and "two years ago today" was the reveal of four of the final five cylons. I remember that like it was yesterday. I missed the original airing of both parts of Crossroads arriving home from a week in London just after part II aired. I woke up at 5:30am Monday morning to watch both parts before work. Good grief. Crossroads BLEW MY MIND like few episodes of TV before or since. My original reaction from 3/26/07 is here. Also? Always and forever a Roslin/Adama shipper.

  • More on BSG: Here's a roundup on Daybreak Part II reviews

  • More on het OTPs: I love me some Rossi/Prentiss on Criminal Minds. I wish more people would write this (obviously perfect) pairing instead of the more conventional, "prettier" Hotch/Prentiss.

  • A friend took a trip to Tanzania and sent these 44957349579 photos of giraffes! After my late summer trip to Greece with [livejournal.com profile] kiffle (!!!), I need to get myself on an African safari.

    I have limited plans for today. I'm trying to decide whether or not I'll actually get employee appraisals completed if I do them at home rather than at the office. I'd also like to get in a run before fitness boot camp. THAT'S IT. Lazy weekend for the win.
