A Few Tasty Tidbits

1.) I finally got a new planner. It is blue and has until 9pm and space for notes. $4 at B&N.
2.) Tomorrow, my J-term Pastoral Care class will be finished. That means that today, I have reviewed my notecards, and read during commercial breaks. Also, I ordered Dana to keep me on task if I tried to chat, by saying: "Shut up, you idiot! You're supposed to be learning pastoral care!" Generally helpful.
3.) I have had a headache for several days now. I am non-plussed.
4.) The real semester starts Thursday.
5.) I think it will be a good semester. Last one was. 1 B and 3 As. (I feel no need for an apostrophe between the A and s. I hate that shit. But evidently I don't mind posting my grades for all the world to see.)
6.) "Love Monkey" is one hell of a show. I loved "Ed," and this is Tom Cavanaugh (perhaps I butchered his name...) talking fast about music. It's Ed plus music. It's like Dave's dream show. It, like Ed, is a male Gilmore Girls. The witty banter, the fast pace, the musical references, Jason Priestly... (Side note: Though my fanship for GG will not decrease, I must say that this season is less than stellar.)
7.) This Pastoral Care class seems to have broadened my career horizons. Alas. I can get certified in all sorts of counseling specializations. And I can take all kinds of different CPEs (again no apostrophe) -- hospital, social service, mental health... When will the opportunities narrow...?
8.) I still haven't written a Christmas letter or sent cards. Well, I sent 3 cards. But that's it.
9.) I need to clean my room. I have mounds of clothes. I don't wear them all, and that distresses me. I need to sort, wash, fold, donate or stow. Alas.
10.) I have nothing else to say. Dammit. Goodnight.

The Way to Watch

I have discovered
over this break
that the best way to watch television
is the entire series at once.
At least one season at a sitting.

So far over break, I have watched
the entire series of The Office (BBC) and Sports Night
and an entire season of America's Next Top Model.

I'm working on season 3 of Gilmore Girls
since I now have seasons 4 and 5.
Dana and I watched seasons 1 and 2 this summer.

I have long enjoyed a tv marathon --
Real World, Road Rules...

Also, whilst enjoying a marathon of cinematic delight,
one can also do some sort of handicraft
such as crocheting a scarf
or making jewelry
(or, in years past, making Christmas ornaments).


If you're out on your own, feeling lonely and so cold...
All you have to do is call my name and I'll be there on the next train...
