Serious Ramblings

I’m way behind … and I know it. I *assume* that something interesting has happened over the last couple of weeks (this statement based on the hangover from hell I had last Saturday), but nothing of significant interest is coming to mind. So … here are some random thoughts to tide over my very few readers ::

I’ve been vehemently denying the apparently likeness between Karen Allen and myself and then I came across this picture today. I am NOT conceding defeat, and am still quite likely to stab you or something if you bring it up, but, um, ok. I think it’s the eyebrows.

And also, since that photo is really small, those are my knees in my jammies.

We are heading to Detroit this weekend for Leonard Cohen … It’s been a huge distraction all week. I haven’t been to Detroit in many years … since pre-teen days, I think. Oh, no, wait. I went for a Tigers game once in my late teens, I think. I’m not a baseball fan, but a few drinks and an order of nachos usually contents me for the duration.

I *hate* American Idol. Mostly because it sucks once the bad try-outs are over, but also because it keeps running into Fringe, which we DVR, and therefore never see the end where it actually wraps up the episode. The fact that last night’s episode was especially good, and I was edge of seat when it abruptly ended was especially upsetting.

I went to visit a friend at the hospital last night, and we had to promise at the door that we didn’t have any symptoms of the H1N1 before we could actually enter the medical center. Once we promised, we were given a little sticker.

True Blood Season II starts in June … still best intro to any HBO series. The acting is really, truly awful … but the story is soooo good. And Anna Paquin is nice to look at, as is Stephen Moyer. I bought the books, which I haven’t read yet, as I’m midway through Atmospheric Disturbances, but I hear they’re pretty different.

On Atmostpheric Disturbances … read it. It’s good. Really good.

When the hell is Dexter Season III coming out?! Amazon just lists it as a pre-order, and I didn’t watch the season as it ran, as I would go batshit waiting a week between episodes. No, seasons of Dexter must be watched in as few sittings as possible.

Record Store Day rocked my world, even though I worked the whole thing. Got the limited Tom Waits, but nothing else, as I was stuck behind the counter non-stop for almost 6 hours. Bonus was that the store did so well, K paid me double. Even managed to keep my head, and not spend it then and there … although I did have $22 bucks in outstanding trade, with which I picked up a Slade and a Swingin’ Medallions. Score.

Mexican Coca Cola is WAY better than American Coke. It’s not nearly as sweet or syrupy. The only place I’ve been able to find it, though, is Weilands Market, and you can only buy it by the individual bottle, and it’s kind of expensive. If anyone knows a place to get it by the 6 or 12 affordably, please let me know.

::yawn:: Ok, I’m out…
