Like the proverbial cheese I stand alone.

Oh my god did you watch Castle?

I screamed so many times it's ridiculous.

Would've made for an excellent Halloween episode, kind of random to bring it now, but it helped the season go out with a bang.

Next week will be even bigger since it's the season finale.

And the preview makes it looks intriguing. Especially after the conversation they had on tonight's episode.

Finally!

Most likely will suck to have to wait until fall when it picks up again.

I'm assuming it's been renewed for another season.

But I'll have The Closer to distract me.

Though I'm way behind, last I knew there she was just told there's a leak in the department, no idea from then on.

The Voice was great as well tonight.

They're down to the semi-finals so everyone sang, tomorrow one on each team gets eliminated leading to the final four.

I'm guessing Tony Lucca - even though I love Katrina Parker - Juliet Simms - you could tell by the amount of applause - Jermaine Paul - though Erin has grown on me - and I'm hoping Lindsey Pavao moves on, if Christina has a say she would definite favoritism, but I'm guessing Chris Mann will move on and he had a better song then she did.

I'm really really hoping it's Juliet but I'm guessing it'll go to Tony Lucca or Jermaine Paul.

It's interesting though cause it seems Christina really doesn't like Tony that much even though they were on the Mickey Mouse Club together, she thinks the show should be about the voice not about stardom storylines.

Which it should, but she's called it out a couple times now, even tonight when she was promoting Katrina.

Stoked for tomorrow's episode, still gotta buy some of the songs off iTunes to show some support. Tony Lucca and Juliet Simms were the best tonight. Though they're always good.

It's cool that you can vote through Facebook or itunes downloads.

Anyway, slept in, 4-6 at work, was totally out of it as I told Slim Shady I was glad to see she survived Italia. Which I already told her as she's been back since Wednesday. And we sat together at inservice for the majority of Thursday.

Woops.

Remembered another item for my to-do-list, finish editing the stories my friend sent me back in January.

Woops.

Awful editor.

I'm on it though, like 10 pages left in one of them.

Currently I'm watching Big Bang Theory.

Math, science, history unraveling the mystery that all started with a big BANG!

Sheldon is training Penny with chocolate.

I want chocolate.

But I have none.

I'm stuck with cereal.

Not that that's a bad thing.

I love cereal.

The combination of that and chocolate plus apple juice fixes all, but I've posted that already.

Scroll back a few pages and you'll run across it.

So tomorrow is another full day, plus the Voice, but Wednesday I'm going out with a friend to see Hunger Games again, which I surprisingly haven't seen since opening day. You'd think I'd have gone again since I'd talked to so many people about going.

Stoked.

"Oh, big talk for a man who was once treed by a chicken."

I'm out. Falling asleep at the wheel. Well, keyboard.

"Crazy" Relient K cover of Cee-Lo


loving this cd.
Interlibrary Loan man, yeah!

They also cover Bieber Fever, Chicago and the Wallflower's "One Headlight" which reminds me I should go back to Jake/Lindsay depression mentioned here: My Life in Closed Captions: This is a week of my favorite things Day Five: Hob...

Which of course I'm stuck on. Though I have made progress, and figured out how she died.

But it still sucks.

Yes this post was boring.

Sorry.

I'll try to be more entertaining tomorrow.

Joys of Small Town Nebraska

I got caught up in the joy that is writing.

What's sad is that it's unusual at this point in my life. I don't really have time for it, so when I do - like tonight - it's pretty much all I can focus on. Anyway, I looked at my clock and went, crap. It's almost midnight. I should probably post something.

I'm working more on the Jake and Lindsay piece mentioned here: My Life in Closed Captions: This is a week of my favorite things Day Five: Hob...

And working in some of the quirks of small towns. I happen to come from one. 2500 population. If we're lucky. But we do have some badass church softball teams who keep things exciting. (I probably shouldn't use those words back to back, that looks bad.) That's really the only time I make it back there for, other than random family shenanigans. But driving through town every time I'm there brings it all back.

-The Dairy Queen knockoff that shuts down every winter and gets a new owner every summer.

-The two main gas stations in town right across the street from each other in a war over who can have the cheapest gas prices, knowing that the crazy out-of-towners - who scarcely drive through now that the highway got bypassed - think the nearest gas station after that is 8 miles out. (there's another one in town that no one knows exists. except my mom.) Doesn't really matter to me as I have a gas card. Which is probably one of the many reasons why my parents are glad I moved out of town. Joking, I love you. Don't take my gas card away.

-The tire and auto-repair shop oh-so-professionally called "Ralph's". They can fix anything. And they pretty much had to with my old car.

-The lone hotel in town which, similar to the Dairy Queen knockoff, is under new ownership and changes its name almost every year. (Though it will forever be known as the "Goldenrod") AND! if you happen to stay there - I believe it now goes by "Geneva Inn" - and you see a sign claiming they will file legal action against you if you clean poultry in the bathroom (actually it will probably just say "please refrain from cleaning chickens in the sink" but i like my version better) blame my sister. That was all her.

Not the cleaning of the chickens in the sink.

The cleaning up of the cleaning of the chickens in the sink. Apparently it wasn't all that pleasant. Who knew?

AND! for the love of all things library, PLEASE take a picture of the sign and upload it on here. I'm tempted to go stay there just to see if it still exists.

-The joy that is driving 20 miles to get to the nearest superstore. That's hidden behind the chinese place. No, not that chinese place, across the street from that chinese place. Yes, there are two chinese places battling in front of a Walmart. I support the original. Though my dad kept its competition open for like a year.

-The actual joy of moving to a big city and realizing that Pizza Hut's actually do deliver - it's not just in the movies! And AND!! things are open past 8PM. NO WAY!?

There are many more joys of living in Small Town Nebraska, especially that one in particular that have gone unmentioned. I'm sure I'll think of more along the way and post them when I remember to. If you can think of any more send them my way. I'm all for the anecdotes in stories. They make it more entertaining.

Alright, I'm out to write some more before I crash and burn. I don't start until afternoon tomorrow. Afternoon! I might actually get to sleep in? I don't know if I'll be able to pull it off. Maybe I'll do what I did Monday, turn on SVU and lay on my couch.

Back to the Midwest Theme, working my way down the US. Yesterday it was Nebraska and Kansas, today you get Oklahoma and Texas. Will have to hop up after these ones.

"Oklahoma" big surprise there

cry everytime i watch this movie. "did he just really ma'am her in a proposal?!" i remember when they did it in high school. i was still shy enough at that point that i didn't try out for anything drama-related. i stepped up sophomore year.

"Texas Was You"


literally the only song of his i can stand. sorry sketch.


OUT!
