Let's get to the Superbowl first: I had been telling people that I was rooting for the Saints; and realized I was in the vast minority. The game started out looking like it would be a blowout for the Colts, but quickly changed tempo. I am *pissed* I missed the onsides (edited due to J9's correction! Thanks!) kick that started the second half and the play that followed (was dealing with kitty issues); but the game itself was fantastic. Kudos to both teams for a wonderful year. I have no doubt the Colts will be in the Superbowl again in a year or three.

Which reminds me, princess_allura - when the Superbowl is in Indianapolis, I will run down there one day and take some pictures for you the week before. Just so you can see everything :)

Spring Training for Baseball starts shortly. :)

I think Corri has a UTI again. Hopefully I can just get her meds from the vet and not have to take her in, because it's supposed to snow again late tonight through Wednesday. Otherwise, unless they can see her TODAY, I don't know when she'll be able to go in.

Weight loss is definite. Hopefully it continues. And when I manage to get back to the gym, maybe it will continue more.

When I can kick this asthma/cough issue. *lesigh*

Other than that, life is going well. Can't complain too much.

Small clip from next week's episode.

OH holy crap, I think I'm going to pee myself laughing. In between the gore and everything else.

I'm still digesting last night's Supernatural.

But dude...

The last 10 minutes? Made it all worth it.

Holy crap was THAT unexpected.

Hee hee hee.

TWOP is so much fun when the episodes suck. The episodes are Smallville (which I don't even watch anymore) and last week's Supernatural suckfest from hell.

(I'm sorry, that episode was BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD.)

The worse the episodes are; the funnier the recaps are.

When Demian starts out the first paragraph with "This show sucks and I want to die..."

(He really doesn't hate the show; but it's a harken back to the last season of Charmed when that's ALL He typed because the show sucked ass. Demian frankly loves Supernatural and he really gives it a lot of shit when an episode is that bad.)

That's my amusement for the morning. Reading over the recaps.

So I've realized that if I want to lose weight, as much as I want to keep eating something at a meal, if I stop about halfway and shove it aside for later, I will:

a) have an extra meal tomorrow

and

b) Still be just as full.

I may be able to keep this one up :)

I woke up coughing twice last night - and that was only when the stupid cat woke me up at 3 and then 5 am wanting food.

She did not get fed. I coughed, went back to sleep and slept again.

Could I possibly be shaking this stupid thing?!

Minor coughing this morning, but so far, I'm good.

~~

Started some Private messages based on interludes.

~~

Found out Odd Bodkin is going away. Devlin is moving to Texas. GAH!
I have no idea where I'm going to get some of my stuff - especially bodices. Skirts I can get without really being measured, but bodices? Yeah...

GAAAH!

Again.

~~

Scale is down 4 pounds, and this time I think it's actually real!

Whoo hoo!

I have been doing well eating at least one salad a day and have been using red wine vinegar/olive oil as dressing.

I need a new skirt. Badly.

My next will be needing a new bodice because my bodice is about dead - I got it fixed, but don't see it lasting much longer.

Anyone who is better at colors and clothing ideas, please let me know - cause I suck at it.

I was considering keeping green/brown/black.

Should I stick with that, or try new colors? If I try new colors, what should I try?

I've found a couple of skirts, but again, have no clue if they'd look good on me or just make me look bigger. Blah.

I hate clothes shopping.

This is why I don't do it :P

It's been a bad week or so. Yesterday I was given two reasons to smile.

The first, a comment about me from rosekith -

I love you because you're always there for me with an open ear and an even more open heart. You give fully of yourself, thereby spoiling the hell out of me and others around you.

Also, you introduced me to Supernatural and Lie to me, and "Son of a bitch must pay." These are no small things. :)

I have good taste in television, what can I say?

The second?

Well, have you ever walked by a store, and just *noticed* something out of the corner of your eye? Then walk in and look at it, thinking, "eh, not worth it." Then pick it up and realize it does something MORE?

Yah, happened to me yesterday. I didn't need it, shouldn't have bought it, but it was SO cute!

I have a stuffed lemur. With a purple and white tail. And when you squeeze it, the little area by it's heart glows and it makes kissing sounds.

And it's CUTE! It's adorable! And it made me grin all the way home. When I talked to my mom about it, she made the comment that I sounded like a child (amusedly not being mean). Well sometimes I allow the inner child out.

So those made my day.

Which was good cause I slept for most of the night - stupid sinus infection.

So doctor's appointment for my cough today. I've had this thing for a few days now and it's just getting worse and worse. It's now in my chest, and it kept me up most of last night.

I have no idea where it came from - just a few days ago I started coughing, it wasn't that bad.

Last night I went to bed at 11 pm - I fell asleep finally at about 4:30. Because of the coughing.

I have used my inhaler more in the past week than I had in the past year.

And my chest *hurts*.

I never get just sick on a tiny scale anymore. Blah.

I need to pick up Galaxy Quest on DVD.

Fox to adapt Torchwood for the US.

LEAVE IT ALONE.

Ughs.

I'm about to toss my scale out a window.

I was in a really good mood the past couple of days because it actually had me DOWN several pounds (and staying with what the scale at my mom's place said.)

Then this morning, I'm up 7?

Huh?

Ughs.

I don't get it.


More confused than ever at that stupid thing.

I've been toying with the idea of running a short term game, just to get my ST chops back in order.

I am thinking of running either Aeon or Conspiracy X. Both good games, both easy to learn and a lot of fun.

(Aeon is now called Trinity because it came out when Aeon Fluxx was on MTV so WW changed it. That being said, I have the original book with the original title. I've heard somewhere it's worth money.)

I'd try my hand at tabletop Mage, but it's actually a bit harder to learn than most others. So...

Would anyone be interested in playing if I ran one of those two? It would probably be something on a weeknight, but not run later than between 10 - 11 pm.

So on Friday, the apartment complex found a beautiful tuxedo cat. The gal is young, and it looks like she was attacked by something and to get away got up a tree, and into the attic of the clubhouse. After a bit of chatting to those at the office, we decided to put the cat in the men's room for the weekend. I ran out and bought some food, food pan, litterbox, and litter, and we set it up.

She's someone's pet. Or was and dumped. After hissing a few times, she came over, and just LOVES to be petted. Yesterday when I went in, she didn't even hiss, just meowed at me and started to headbutt my hands and face.

I'd adopt her if I could.

I'm calling Meowza today to see if they can take her, I know the manager is calling a few other places - no kill shelters. This is definitely a friendly, adorable kitty. Anyone want one?

~~~

I forgot to update on my vacation -

Amazingly enough, my sister and I got along wonderfully. I have no idea how that happened, but I'm glad for it. My mom and I only got into one minor spat; and we decided to just not talk politics anymore.

Best part of the vacation? aryaluna's re-gifting party and the beforehand visit. I got to finally meet some people I knew from one of the LJ lists in person; and I was told I had an amazing gift of snark by someone I've known for years. His comment, "Why the hell did we NOT get along when you lived out here?" Heh. Probably because we've both matured a lot since that time? :)

First off, onomojaku's daughter was in town and she is the spitting image and personality of her father. She's him as a female. There is no doubt. And she lives in Ohio - if I didn't think her mother would attempt to shoot me on sight, I'd consider kidnapping her for a weekend :). We went to a sushi place, and aryaluna and I were consistently amused by the back and forth sparring of the other two. Hee.

It was absolutely wonderful to catch up with aryaluna. Even if she thought my shoes needed to be shot on sight. We bickered good-naturedly, and then she introduced me to the evil keebler almond cookies that are only out for the holidays. Rowan has lost some weight but is still a great cat, and Karma is still as nuts as always. We started to watch District 9 on DVD, but it was cut short with the incoming people for the party. (I need to rent or buy that movie now!)

I got to talk a bit with sheniver as well which was awesome. I'm going to try and get out to Virginia on a long weekend to just hang out with people at some point this year.

I had gotten an Angel Season 5 DVD in the regifting. Yeah, that lasted all of one round. It got swiped from me the next round over; and I picked a new gift. After some trading, I ended up with a pretty kitchen hanging thingy. And a potholder made by sapphohestia. It worked for me. aryaluna and onomojaku got me a pretty fairy statue. All in all a great night and a lot of fun.

Now it's just back to work and the grind. I really need to try and hang out with people here more. Grr.

Stolen from erdedrache. Thanks darlin'!

Nooooooooooooooooo

Cheesefaildicksmack


My new favorite term to describe many people.

If you think it's related to you, you are probably wrong.

Anyone that this is related to probably doesn't even get it.

*grumbles*
*meh*

Didn't do the one thing I was hoping for, but did show another character which proves he's still out there. Jackass needs to get back to Earth though sometime VERY soon.

*vague for a reason*

Not sure on the new Doc yet.

Will miss Tennant.

More on it later. I am hoping to watch both at once tomorrow night or Sunday (yes, a second time) to get my thoughts in order.

*Looks outside*

That's not rain babe.

I'm in Maryland til tomorrow or Saturday - all those in Ohio have a good NYE. :)

That's about it. Still checking weather reports to see if/when it's going to get bad.

Still have a cold, so even if I do come back tomorrow, I don't know if I'll make the party. I don't think anyone else wants my damn cold. *I* don't want my damn cold.

:)

Love you all.
