It's a marathon, not a sprint.

End of first week back to work. Yay! or Ehh. It's work and no other job gives me 4 months off in the summer and about six weeks off for Christmas. #can'tbeatthoseperks

Tired from trying to get back into the swing of things. I miss my afternoon nap I'd take before going to get the kiddies.

Work is sort of slow. I just think of it as coming in to hang out with a better computer connection. We have Macs now and yesssss, tumblr works so fast! :)

Though our manager's manager can see what sites we visit :( But she's not here today :)
I am paranoid enough. *shifty eyes*

Sleepy Hollow! Yes, I love it though I am hating that it's on FOX aka FUX. I don't trust them a bit and haven't since Firefly. Actually since Alienation.(omg anyone else remember how they left it with this big cliffhanger and they cancelled the show and then a year or two later had a movie that tied it up. Then, then they had 3 more movies! What the fuck Fox?)

Looking forward to Almost Human and American Horror Story: Coven. Angela Bassett. Mmmm. Yes, please.

I still don't get tumblr sometimes. I treat it like a big picture book. Communication is iffy and I don't understand some of the self aggrandizement that goes on(is that a word? like when people post all of these comments they get about a story or the posts of people praising them and telling them about how awesome they are.)

Teen Wolf- Season 3A was not...good. So many problems. I can take a little illogical but when you say, anchors and they need them but they come up out the water with no one there I'm confused. Or when Jennifer seemed to think it was all about her looks in that very just ugh conversation with Derek in the elevator. Lady you're killing people I don't think he's mad about your true face. And why did her face look like that? They show her flashback and yes, she's got the slashes over her face but she still had hair and stuff. I was confused again.

Don't even get me started on Peter and his bullshit. I like Peter as a villain but were any of us really surprised? And also if anyone wanted to try and kill him again? That'd be cool.

God I was not going to rant about Teen Wolfies but but but...how are all the bad guys still alive? How do the twins that helped kill Boyd still around and how did Deuces get a freaking slap on the wrist with bonus eyesight back? And Gerard fucking Argent is still chillin and bleeding black shit everywhere. I just...Jeff what the hell?

*takes deep breath*

In the files of stuff they never tell you about having kids besides you get to go back to school and help with math and english! And other stuff you don't remember! They don't mention the whole kids 'borrowing' your stuff. My jewelry, my perfume, my lotion, and since K has hit size 10 in shoes, she's eying those too. Even though I have gotten them both their own stuff, mama's is still apparently the best. :) They crack me up. K is now 12 and Zoe is 9, and it's just a trip about every day.

She was awesome tonight!

Quick thing about V

( Tonight )


Off to eat a banana and contemplate bed. I am back at yoyodyne working to cause mass destruction through nefarious means involving these things called magazines.

Life is hectic. Stessing out all over the place trying to balance work work and at home work since hubby now works further away and is not home as much.

More on that later maybe. Right now let's talk about TV and those people. (May contain small spoilers for already aired episodes!)

Monday Night

The Event- Eh. I'm still watching though I don't know why. I've nicknamed the main guy pocket idol version 2.0. There's a hot FBI? NSA? Some government agency guy who I keep hoping will get more face time. The guy that was hunting down people on heroes in the third season and played the governor on OZ is on the event. Guess what he's doing here? Yep, keeping a certain type of people locked up.

There was discussion of torture. ( Rest behind spoiler tags )

Hawaii Five O or H50(I find that abbreviation so cute and wee! I want to pinch its cheeks!) More on this show later as I plan to do a pimpin post complete with a few fic and vid recs. It's my favorite new show.


Tuesday- I'm watching NCIS on Comcast On Demand later in the week since every station wanted to put their hit on on this night. We DVR Glee and watch No Ordinary Family. NOF is okay. Has a few kinks to work out but I like that the big bad is apparently going to be the father from Seventh Heaven. I wonder if The Commish likes playing The Thing but this time with no orange costume. I like super speedy Darla who somehow looks younger on this show than she did on Angel and Buffy. The kids aren't very memorable.

NCIS: LA is okay. I watch mainly for the gay though I think H50 is about to take their hoyay crown. The new guy isn't so irritating. Kinda funny. Hetty makes me shout 'Edna Mode' at the screen all the time. (A line from The Incredibles).

Glee- Eh. I liked the Britney ep. Didn't like the religious ep.

Wednesday- Watching Undercovers though I keep forgetting it comes on at seven and not eight p.m. Didn't realize until I read it somewhere that the main woman played Martha's sister on Dr. Who. Love Boris and his willingness to get shirtless. Leo is kind of annoying. Reminds me of Shawn from Psych. Major Dad is kind of funny when he's not telling them how they suck. Seriously, I would have cursed him out by now.

Thursday- Fringe time. Was pissed about the finale but they finally explained some stuff last week so not as peeved about the switch. Love Walternate and really want him and Walter to spend some time together. DVR'ing Nikita which I love and I'm shipping Nikita/Michael big time. Sometimes Shane West looks more like Pacey than Pacey does. It's distracting. But he's hot and I'm happy.

Castle and Bones are on the DVR. Haven't watched any of Bones yet but Castle is still awesome. Need to catch up to last weeks.

This week has been insane. Started back up at work. Yoyodyne is the same, pretty much, but the added stress of working here and working at home (keeping house halfway decent,cooking dinner, ironing clothes, helping kids with homework, list goes on) is crazed. I'm thinking of ideas to reduce that stress in the future.

Kids had a thing where they had to dress up today too. K as the word 'Electric' and Z as a character from a book so I've been running around after work getting stuff for them to wear. I told K to next time choose an easier word like 'Tree' or 'apple.'




TV is my boyfriend

I am super behind on like four shows season finales. Have yet to watch Psych's, Dark Blue's, Royal Pain's or Burn Notice's. Gahh. I will catch them soon as I have On Demand and can rewatch stuff. I did see Leverage's and White Collar.

Am watching Nikita and it is Awesome. If you are not watching you need to watch. Maggie Q is a awesome, hot, kick ass Nikita. Shane West as Michael looks like Pacey and then I think i'm watching Fringe but he's ticking my 'ambiguously evil and hot' buttons like rowr. Evil tech guy is skeezy and looks like Connor from Angel but wait! it's Pyro from X-men!!!

Will he start lighting shit on fire? Probably not but he's less skeevy than Topher on Doll house. Speaking of DH, parts of Nikita remind me of DH. With people being 'activated' and 'the division' being all hand in everything evil let's take over the world. I miss Faith and Helo on my screen.

I never watched the other show with Peta. I did love the movie with Bridget Fonda and saw that several times.

CW wants me to watch the 'last' season of Smallville which I might do if Sexy Lexy is going to be on it.

SPN- I stopped watching this mid last season. The reasons are many and I can't say 100% that I will never watch again but right now I have zero interest in Dean and Sam's infinite journey. Though I still love me some Jared Padahotass.

Still on a Losers writing kick. Almost done with my minibang which is now a big bang with over 10,000 words that need to be wrangled and arranged where they will make sense to other people that are not me. Sometimes when I write I forget that people cannot read my brain and figure out what that paragraph meant.

I asked my muse for some non losers bunnies but it decided to give me some xover ideas. More on that later.

JDM has a movie coming out that involves Hilary Swank and an apartment building. I don't know what that means but I just want some JDM loving.

Most everyone at Yoyodyne is gone for the day because even evil corporations bent on world domination like to leave early on Friday. After work I have to pick up kidlets and go find a bday present for one of Z's friends as she has a party to go to. It's a slumber party but she nor I, are ready for that so she will be going for about two hours and then coming home.

Me and Yoyodyne have parted company for the summer. Working for a place bent on world domination that lays off 90% of its workforce in the summertime is not so bad. I get a break from crazy people and get to spend time with the kiddies.

And I get to write! And unpack stuff at the new house! Wheeee!

My tv watching will include some Castle I missed. I just watched the last two eps of Justified and wow. They really outdid themselves. I could not predict what would happen from one moment to the next.

I plan to watch some Generation Kill, maybe some True Blood. Don't know what else.

I also plan to watch 'The Losers' about a dozen more times. I kid. It'll be more than a dozen.

As for writing, I'm really into Cougar/Jensen right now and I'm considering joining the kink_bingo crowd and write about them.

I really want Losers and C/J AU's and xovers and all kinds of stuff. Writing wise the fandom is small but slowly growing. There are some great stories out there and I'll make some recs at some point.

I also need to take about two weeks and work on nothing but WIPs. My accidental rewrite of 2fast2furious, CSI slave au, NCIS gangster AU. Some White Collar stuff, including an AU. (I'm sensing a theme here).

The new place is so quiet. At the apartment, we called our upstairs neighbor "Stompy McStomperson" because he stomped a lot. He moved out about 2 days before we did. But now there are no upstairs noises, no sharing a wall with someone right next door. It's quiet but i'm getting used to it.

The next two days I will attempt to relax and laze about. Next week the kids will be at home with me all day and oh joy. I will have to find some stuff for them to do this summer instead of driving me bananas.

Thank you for all the congrats on the house! And the advice. Of which I will be asking for more advice over the coming weeks and scouring the intenetz.


So am I the only one that thinks Tony and Gibbs used to date, then Gibbs broke up with him and Tony started dating Tim, but then they broke up so after a brief hop in bed with Jimmy, Tony is back with a affectionate and tolerant Gibbs?

( last night ncis )

Didn't watch NCIS: 'we are gay' b/c Glee was on but I'll catch NCIS:'look at how gay we are' today or tomorrow.

Justified! I love Justified. It's like that Patrick Swayze movie 'Next of Kin' but instead of Patrick moving to the big city of Chicago he stayed home and had to deal with all his wacky red neck cousins and friends.

( last night justified )

I keep waiting for V to get better. I keep waiting for more resistance fighters and maybe Marc Singer or Michael Ironside(from the original series) to show up too. This show moves slowly. I like the terrorist guy. The reporter guy? He looks so much like Michael J Fox, it's crazy.

So 'Justified' was pretty good. The guy that played Shane on 'The Shield' was in the ep chewing up scenery all over the place.

( Spoilers for Justified pilot )


Work is slower than slow today. I was talking to a woman on the phone earlier and I heard her cellphone ring in the background. Her ring tone? The banjo song from Deliverance.

Have to watch Southland tonight when I get home.

I need more icons.

Flashforward comes back on Thursday! Joseph Fiennes and his low mumbly voice! John Cho! Other people. I need to find out when V comes back on.


*IZ BORED* Omg, so bored.

This week is ovah ovah ovah. Tomorrow I have a massage scheduled and the hubby does not have to go out of town for a third time next week. He came home today and I was very happy to see his as were the bebes.


My Television viewing

Southland! Omg, people I need screen caps and icons of Regina King or/and Regina King and her shotgun. How awesome is she? Especially with the shotgun? How about when she told that reporter ( behind tag just in case )

Heroes makes me roll my eyes a lot and am convinced the writers ship Claire/Sylar, Sylar/Peter and Clair/Peter. Not even Milo's very fine ass kept me entertained enough to watch if they get another season.

I'm loving Castle and I love that NF is getting a chance to show what he can do. I like Beckett and I could almost almost see her as Eve in Nora Robert's 'In Death' series, if she were more grumpy and pissed off.

Supernatual-eh, I dvr'd some eps but have no desire to watch them.

Burn Notice- Fiona, with a shotgun. Need I say more?

Psych- I'm loving it but I need to go back and pay closer attention to some eps.

Leverage- Same as Psych but I'm a little more involed with the Leverage group. Also this fanvid by Talitha78 made me fall in love with Hardison all over again. Me and my kids watch this at least once a day.

White Collar-My shiny new toy! I still think this show has a baby fandom but it's growing and the stories are popping up. I'm loving it so hard and I have all these crazy fic ideas. I love that first bloom of love after a new fandom passes you a note and asks if you like them: check yes or no.

Hmm, I'm going to have to add the Winchesters to my Petrelli's VS Scofield-Burrows 'who has the worst dynamics with their families?' poll. You know if I ever get around to making one.

( Spn tonight )


Bones! Omg, what is going on with the emoting and humor then serious serious.

( Bones tonight )


Tomorrow is Dollhouse! YES!
