So i'm totally enjoying Lost. But i don't know if i'd enjoy it as much if i were watching it week to week instead of marathoning my way through the dvds. Just cuz sometimes they're TOTAL douchebags. THEY ALWAYS END IN CLIFFHANGERS!! which is kind of awesome, but COME ON!!! I HATE BEING LEFT HANGING LIKE THAT!!! its cruel. CRUEL i tells ya. Reminds me of True Blood - they do that too. or at least they did in the first season. i have yet to watch the second season.

AND AND AND!!!! The ep we just watched? was MEAN!! They totally made me think that Charlie was dead for a second. But only for a second. i was in denial the whole time he wasn't breathing and partly when Jack stopped trying to bring him back. Maybe not in denial, because I KNEW it couldn't be true. But i faltered for a second. Because there was a second when Kate was crying and Jack stopped and the music was all sad in the background and for a SECOND i was REALLY upset because i LIKE Charlie. Then i was all, wait, its TOO SOON to kill off Charlie. One of the others that we don't know as well? Wouldn't be a problem. But Charlie? Sweet, awesome Charlie who's no longer a drug addict? They wouldn't kill him off yet, and i'm probably going to cry when they do kill him off because i adore him so so much.

and HURLEY!!! OMFG, I TOTALLY LOVE HURLEY!!! he's amazing and trying to keep everyone safe, and making a golf course, and doing a census! Hurley is totally the man. And the real brainz behind the operation. Jack kinda gets shit done, but Hurley is the one that thinks of stuff that NEEDS to get done, you know? He's always trying to make the situation better. He's just... Made of Win and Awesome.

Locke is still kindfa crazy, and he's got this weird connection with the island. i dunno. EVERYTHING is kind of a sign to him, or its fate, or SOMETHING. And i kinda like Boone. I mean, he's ok. he's not my most favourite person ever, but i don't want him to die (yet, cuz i know he does eventually). But he tries to help out when he can, and he takes pretty good care of his sister (who i'm pretty sure dies too. sucks to be in their family.)

And Sawyer!!! Oh Sawyer, who's the badass with a heart. I love that he was betting on the golfing. that was cute. yay for island funness and bonding!!

AND!! I KNEW that Danielle wasn't crazy. Well, i mean, she totally is, but i knew that what she was telling Sayid about there being others, and that they whisper, i knew it wasn't just crazytalk! i KNEW she made sense in her own little way. She's not as cracked out as she seems to be (even though she seems pretty damn crazy. she did kill her lover and the rest of her science expedition team, after all.) So Crazy Lady of the Island is ok in my books. But now i'm really curious as to what she meant that her team was sick or whatever. WHAT HAPPENED 16 YEARS AGO??? AND WHAT HAPPENED TO ALEX???

and POOR CLAIRE!! who got kidnapped probably because she's pregnant. and the psychic KNEW something - something about the plane crash, something about her kid... why else would he go on and on about how SHE has to raise it and stuff? poor claire who had the douchebag boyfriend. But now she's got Charlie looking out for her. Or... had Charlie looking out for her? Does she die too? I think she might, but i can't remember. maybe not. i don't know. but she's all pregnant and getting attacked and kidnapped. and that's all AFTER BEING IN A PLANE CRASH, AND STUCK ON AN ISLAND WITH POLAR BEARS, AND CRAZY FRENCH PEOPLE, AND SOME MONSTER LIKE THING (that doesn't really exist? since Danielle said that there were no such things as monsters? so maybe its... something else? I DON"T KNOW!!!)

THIS SHOW IS ADDICTIVE!!! we're probably going to rent S2 after we finish up with S1 (since we're totally going to finish before xmas gets here), and see how much I still like it, since i may or may not want the rest of the seasons for xmas. because when the fam asked what i wanted this year, all i could think of was Star Trek!!! but other than that... i dunno. i may have already bought most of the dvds i already wanted, and i'm getting a few of the others that i wanted for my sister for HER gifts this year, so that's all taken care of.

but yes. Lost might be my new show. Its really good right now.

~ Friday was spend with "the guys" which included Drew, Brittney, Ryan, Amber & Jamieson. Went for all you can eat sushi at a place downtown. Was yummy and a bit mortifying, but hilarious at the same time. The lady who was kinda serving us mistakenly thought i was being bitchy to her when i was being bitchy to Jamieson (as he was my non-date for the evening). so i left a decent tip to make up for the fact (hopefully). i was super polite to her when she eventually came back around. the guys had a fun time teasing me about it though. on the ride back, we sang Scissor Sister songs, then talked about Happy Murder songs (like I Can't Decide), but the conversation somehow drifted to just other killer songs that weren't so happy. talking about music can have interesting results.

~ Saturday was good. went to kepp0xy 's to watch Merlin and catch up (as we haven't seen each other in a couple weeks). didn't spent hours upon hours there as per norm since we were both still kinda under the weather. but many fandoms were talked about, as was real life stuff. had a good times as always.

~ Sunday was lazy. The sister and i finished watching S3 of SPN which we enjoyed muchly. (am sad about Blonde!Ruby though. i liked her. and Bela. liked her too). Then we debated on what to watch next. We popped in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the first live action movie) since we couldn't decide on ANYTHING, and its still wonderful and awesome. I'm fairly certain that I will forever love that movie (along with Dirty Dancing). We still know pretty much the whole movie by heart. Raphael is still my favourite, even though i love Mikey and Donnie's repore as they fight. so much love for that movie. then we moved on to S1 of Lost.

* I've never seen Lost before, but i'm enjoying it so far. I love Charlie (though I'm pretty sure he dies at some point in the show. Hopefully not this season, but i'm pretty sure he dies eventually, which makes me kind of sad), and Hurly (cuz he's adorable and awesome), and Locke is crazy, but kinda cool, but crazy, and Jack and Kate are kinda cute, and Sawyer is a badass. Dunno how i feel about the others quite just yet. Sayid is pretty damn sexy too. But yes. Lost is good, even though i'm like... a bazillion seasons behind. My sister stopped watching sometime in S2, and i've heard elsewhere that S1 was the best season out of all of them, but we'll see. Depending on how much i like this show, i may need to own the other seasons as well. We just finished watching the ep about Charlie and his band and his drug problems, and the cave in. So YAY Charlie!! but yes, it was good, and i'm liking this show!

~ I'm working the 9/80 fortnight again at work, so now i'm left to ponder about what i'm going to do with my free friday this week. I'm considering going to a matinee maybe, but i don't know what's out, and i don't know if there's anything i'm really willing to spend my Scene points on, even though i promised The Boss (my friend Sonia) that I'd go see Paranomal Activity at some point. But i'd need to go with a guy, just in case i get too scared. Or maybe i'll take the time to organize the music on my ipod instead. or perhaps i'll do a little xmas shopping. I should find out what my daddy wants, but maybe i'll get him a gift certificate from a golf place in the meantime. I know what i'm getting my sister... and we don't really do the other relatives. my friends might be a problem though. hmmm...

~ Does anyone want Christmas Cards? cuz i can do that for people. if i think about it now, i can probably get it done in time for Christmas, instead of waiting til the last minute as usual (but if that does happen, just think of it as an EXTENDED Christmas or something!!)

but that's all i gots for now...

Am currently fighting a cold. (i may or may not have one, and trying to get rid of it). i dislike being sick. The fact that i did not go to work monday (and slept for 6 hours after calling in sick) and went home mid-day tuesday (and slept for 4 hours after watching the Lakehouse {why? i don't know} ) means nothing.

Wednesday was Remembrance Day, and I woke up feeling fine. Then i went over to Karen's to help her load everything into a U-Haul Truck as she moved to Victoria. I... am indifferent. It's not like anything is going to change really. I did not cry as we said goodbye, nor did i cry when i got home or before i went to sleep (like Drew thought I might). So she's on the island. She might come back from time to time, and... as much as i hate to admit it, i might go there. Don't ask me why I dislike the island so much, i just do. I don't think i've ever had a stellar time there (besides going to the museum with my family, but that was about.... 10 years ago, and it wasn't Stellar, it was just good).

Then i went home, had a nap, and then my sis and I went to Dad's for 2nd Thanksgiving. Ok, so... my grandmother on my dad's side (ida) was a little miffed that we went to Midway for Thanksgiving. THIS? Is not unusual. We pretty much ALWAYS go to Midway for Thanksgiving. Whatever, she wanted to have Thanksgiving dinner with us, so dad said sure, we'll have one with her. Ok, so yesterday? Dad asks us to ask her if she wanted a plate of food, or for us to go downstairs and eat with her. She said it didn't matter, so we sent a plate down. seriously, what was the point then? I mean, i'm all for family dinners, but seriously? i don't get it. whatever. got some Daddy Time in, which is always nice. We watched a couple of strange movies (all of them, we came in half-way in.)

Then we left, and me n Mares headed straight for Sarah's house, as it was Wednesday and Glee was on. My dearest Sarah had H1N1, but she's ok. She was pretty pale when i saw her, but she wasn't bad.

Anyway, Glee was good. ( However... )



Anyway, its Mentalist night tonight!! I'm excited!! And i'm seeing kepp0xy (plus friend?) on Saturday to watch Merlin!! yay!!

i just remembered about christmas. well, not JUST remembered, since i know it happens every year and all that, but i just thought about shopping. I should really get on that soon.

also? my facebook addiction has started up again, sorta. i've been more active on it recently. which made me think of my beloved lj, and how i've been ignoring it. i check out my flist when i get home from work, but i'm not very active. i should try and remedy that. or make it one of my new years resolutions (look at me, planning for the future! go me!)

my work xmas party is coming up soon, and i don't know if my sis wants to go this year. i was kinda thinking of taking someone else, but i don't know who. Drew? Steve?? I talk about my guys a lot, so i figure maybe the xmas party would be a good chance for my work friends to meet them, you know? i've still got a few days to decide - i've got to rsvp by the Nov 10th.

what else? no new glee tonight, which makes me a little sad. But i'm still hanging out with Sarah.

My Halloween was pretty good. actually, last weekend was pretty good. Went to my friend Angie's party on friday, where I met Miguel, my new friend. He's totally adorable, and i luv him. Saturday i basically spent with Karen (how did i survive??), but we got our costumes together fairly nicely (she went as a Gangster's Girlfriend, and I went as a Lounge Singer - basically, we just got dressed up in fancy clothes, but we looked awesome, so its all good). We went to some Pub on the shady side of Vancouver where the Band was playing. Guess who was there? My new friend Miguel!! The band invited him, and he came out, and he's so much fun!

I realized on Friday that i have this love for suspenders that I never knew i had. and Miguel was dressed up like a Gangster, and he was wearing suspenders, and i basically loved him for that. But whatever. he's a sweetie. he didn't mind driving 3 somewhat intoxicated girls back into Richmond, even though one of them (not me) wasn't sure if she was going to throw up or not. but she didn't!! and we made it to the house ok!

Sunday was pretty chill. i didn't have a hangover (but i only had a jagerbomb, a single screwdriver and then 3 double screwdrivers), which was nice, but me and mares had brekkie with Karen & Kaeda, then hung out at home. it was a nice way to end the weekend.

AND and and! I'm doing my 9-Day fortnight again, so this means I have every other friday off! and this friday is my FIRST day off. So me and Karen are going to do some Wedding stuff before we go to Scenery In Stereo's last show for a while. The band will be on hiatus for about a month, but thats ok. I'm looking forward to friday.

anything else? i don't think so. Hope everyone's life is going well and such!

much love!

xoxo

i liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive.

rejoice!

...

ok, fine. i haven't updated in a while. and its not like i have a super busy life, i'm just lazy. Monday's i eat dinner at my dad's place, tuesdays are reserved for NCIS (and NCIS: LA), Wednesdays are Glee nights at my friend Sarah's (even though I tape Criminal Minds and CSI:NY, because i love them too), thursdays are the Mentalist (but that's on at 10, so there's plenty of time for me to go out and have dinner with friends and still make it back in time), and fridays... well, fridays USED to be my night with kepp0xy, but we switched that to saturday afternoons so we could watch merlin together.

and yes. i'm fairly aware that my life revolves around tv. but i'm ok with that. i do other stuff on the weekends. like chilll with my sister, or go out with friends (when they remember to call me) and stuff like that.

But yes. NCIS, Glee, the Mentalist, and Merlin are my fave shows this year. I can't help it!!

NCIS has been completely AMAZING. I think this has been the best season so far (and i'm not just saying that because my ship is totally almost canon right now). All the eps have been wonderful and amazing and good. And Tony's hair, although not my favourite hairstyle he's ever had, is growing on me (no pun intended).

Glee... god, where do i start?? Seriously, i love this show. its full of crack and music, so really, what more could I ask for? And i'm SO excited for this wednesday, you have no idea. ( Behind a cut just in case there are spoilers... )

But yes. SO EXCITED for wednesday. Although I have been informed that it's Sarah's Mom's birthday that day, so she is doing family stuff. So i'll be watching it at home with the sis and flailing like a maniac there. hee.

The Mentalist is also super good this season, but I totally love Lisbon (even though when I started watching the first season, she was not my fave person ever. but that changed cuz she's HBIC and all that, and its kind of awesome), and the first few eps were kinda about her, so that made me happy. And i love the Team, and how they're all so Teamy, and its just awesome.

and merlin is just... well, let me put it this way. kepp0xyand I have this Epic Email that started... oh, at least a few months ago (probably longer), and its basically an Epic Flail over Merlin (with a dash of other shows we love, like NCIS thrown in for good measure). Actually, we have a couple emails going on that are basically full of Merlin!Love.This show has eaten her brain and is making its way through mine (not to the same degree, but still, eating my brain nonetheless). Its been a good season so far, with MASSIVE ship developments. which makes US happy. so hee! and yay!

and... I thought I'd save the best for last. This is more of a Real Life dealio, so if you're not interested, you can just stop here...




So... next year, My Best Friend (skullycat... i know, i know, be amazed that i admitted it outloud and everything...) is GETTING MARRIED!!!!  AND I'M TOTALLY EXCITED FOR THIS BECAUSE SHE'S MY BFF AND I LOVE HER AND HIM AND A;LSDKFJALSDKJFALSDJKFAL;SDFJK. I'M SO HAPPY FOR THEM!!!!

BUT YES. SO... I'M IN A RATHER GOOD MOOD AND SUCH. CONGRATZ, BB!!!

Hello lovely people!

Its been a while. Today there's a couple things happening.

Criminal Minds and CSI:NY are premiering tonight!! (YAY!!!)

Sadly, i won't be watching them. I'll be taping them. Since its GLEE night, and I watch that with my friend Sarah at her place.

also? My mormon husband is coming over tonight. brendon is back on the mainland (instead of the island), and he'll be crashing at my place again. He did it last week for a couple nights. My sister and I are incredibly messy, but we have a futon and our place is free, so he doesn't really care.  So tonight he and i will be watching Glee at Sarah's, since he wants to spend time with me, and this is a standing date between Sarah and I.

Ok, so, now for my flaily part.

( Merlin )


And now for:

( Castle!!! )


And now, the most important one:

( NCIS, BABY!!!! )
But yes, Glee tonight! and I'm happy about that. And Criminal Minds (OMG HOTCH!!!) and CSI:NY!!

So, so far only one of my shows has premiered and such. BUT that's ok. I am anxiously awaiting for the 19th, and the week that follows.

GLEE is amazing and wonderful. i LOVE Glee. 

( Glee Stuffs )


Then its MERLIN on the 19th!!

( Merlin Fangasm )


And then from the 21-24 my OTHER shows will be starting as well!!

21 - Castle, HIMYM, BBT
22 - NCIS (I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE. HOLY MOTHER, AM I EVER!!!)
23 - Criminal Minds, CSI: NY
24 - The Mentalist

and possibly some other shows. i can't remember just yet, but those are the ones that i am MOST excited about, at least!

What's on YOUR watch list?

don't get me wrong. i like my job. I do. But... sometimes, i lose my faith in humanity. not seriously. but... god, some calls i get, people are just... not bright. and its the simplest of solutions, and yes, it's faster calling one of us, but still. STILL. hearing the same stupid questions all morning long is not fun. Especially when you've been at work since 615am. Ok, so the calls didn't start until 730, but still. AND. AND. i've been asked to stay til 5pm, just so someone experienced can handle the bid deposits. Ambee and I got here around the same time, but, still. It's unfair to both of us. The newbies haven't been trained because we COULDN'T train them. We had nothing to train them WITH. and it would be unfair to leave them alone after a few hours of training. and its not like i COULDN'T use the money, but... its pretty much an 11-hr day. I shouldn't whine, but i totally am. Sarah worked a 14hr day last week, or something. maybe even a couple of times.

i think i'm just being cranky right now. i went to bed early, but i didn't have a very good sleep. And i woke up in the middle of the night and was desperately thirsty, then had a hard time going back to sleep. THEN i woke up late because i'm stupid and don't know how to properly set my alarm.


but now i've had lunch, and feeling a bit better. My work mom told me that it was illegal to wear a batman outfit in Australia. Is that true? I got a bit hysterical at that, but that was before lunch, and i needed the laugh.

So now that i've eaten, had a few good laughs, and gottten some sugar in my system, i'm feeling better. I just needed to rant to get it OUT of my system. And some of the calls i was getting were just so stupid.

(although, i have to say, some of the calls i had, those guys had nice voices, and cheered me up a bit. hee. i'm a voice-whore).


BUT now i must get back to work, and reply to my Epic Email to kepp0xy. Where we are flailing about Being Human, NCIS, and MERLIN.

01. Comment to this entry saying 'ICONS!' and I will pick 6 of your icons.
02. Make an entry in your own journal and talk about the icons I picked!


kepp0xy gave me:

Real Life Time:

My office building moved to Burnaby today, from Richmond. Instead of having a 10 minute commute, its more like 30 mins. I don't care all that much, i've done it before. and i'm carpooling with my sister. Today was a total write-off day. We explored the building more than we worked, but it was expected, and fun! Me and some friends even hung out with our CEO for a bit (he has the BIG office, and we wanted to take pictures. I blew bubbles while the other girls looked at toy trucks). It was a good day today. AND, there was cheese and crackers and wine and champagne after work. hee.

also? Being Human? Kinda rocks.

things at work have been... hectic and slow at the same time. Our building is moving to another... city? suburb of vancouver? whatever. it'll take 30 mins to get there, and i've worked in Burnaby before, so its no big. But we have to pack everything up and stuff.

2 members of our department team are 'leaving' at the end of the month. and i say 'leaving' because they're actually going to work part time at the new building. We DID hire a new girl though (for one of the other people that we let go a month or so before), so she's been training, albeit slowly - there's not much for her to do right now. She seems nice, and Sarah and I haven't scared her off just yet - i take that as a good sign.

my dad is going away AGAIN - he'll be in Midway for another 2 weeks, meaning I'll be staying with my grandmother. I guess it wasn't that bad the first time, but i made sure i was busy while i was staying there. But she constantly checks up on me, and its a little annoying. I'm sorry, but no 24 year old should have a curfew.

This past saturday i spent at the PNE with skullycat , kaeda and brendan. it was fun. We acted like a family (in our own little weird way). We saw part of SuperDogs, but Kaeda was getting a little restless, so we left. Then we went to the Farm Animal Exhibit and saw cows and llamas and horses, and Karen took Kaeda to the 'petting zoo' part, while Bee and I hung out outside with the buggy. We toured around a bit and had a break or too, did some shopping at the marketplace. Their friend Taylor came and spent some time with us as well, so we did MORE shopping and stuff. We got there about 930 AM and left around 5PM. It was a full day.

Then, when I got home, i took a little nap before preparing to go to goldenrockstar's gig at a bar downtown. Karen was going too, and she was super stoked because she'd never been to a Scenery in Stereo show before. So i wore my new top that i got at the PNE, and she came over, and we got picked up by ANOTHER friend, Sheena. It was her first show too. So we got there and karen and I immediately started drinking, since it was her first time downtown in about a year and a half. maybe even two years. 

The band was amazing, as per usual. BUT. THE BEST PART WAS ALEX!!!! Karen, Emily (another friend who was at the show) and I used to work at a cafe with him, and we randomly bumped into him at the bar. Me and Emily used to 'fight' over him and this other guy who worked there. But i was tipsy by this point, and in my Pretty Friendly stage of drinking, so i was even MORE EXCITED to see him. so he gave us his number and told us he'd love to catch up with us sometime. 

i love alex. i adored him. he's so cute. 

anyways. 

yeah, i had a good saturday. Sunday was lazy, so that was nice. 

Today, after work I'm going to Best Buy to pick up Season 6 of NCIS, so WOO!! i love NCIS. 

OH. Last night, we had dinner at dad's, as per usual, and after dinner we watched Castle (yay!) and How I met Your Mother.

OMG, for some reason, i'd forgotten how AWESOME that show is. Barney and Marshall are totally my favourites. Though Lily is a close second. Or third. whatever. BUT OMG, i was pretty much rolling around on the floor laughing. I took "ROFL" literally. From now on, I'm totally going to start using "remember that time in the future..." because i just got histerical.   Which reminds me, i should probably get Season 3 of that too....
