maybe it was memphis.

I hate it when creepers make up excuses to talk to me at the desk.

Though tonight's actually rather amusing because he had really bad timing.

Meaning Wordie and Queen of the Known Universe were there.

He looked around my age - anyway, comes up to the desk and goes, "how long have you lived her."

and of course I'm not gonna answer that so I ask why.

He claims that he just moved to the area and he wants to know where to meet new people.

Since I'm boring and don't go places I don't know the answer to that question so I turn to Wordie and ask, "Hey Wordie, what's a good place to meet people?"

and the look on the dude's face was hysterical. He went from all flirty to "aw crap."

Like he wasn't actually looking for an answer to that question but now he's stuck at the desk listening to people list off possible places.

Me not being one of them.

Queen of the Known Universe made it a point to say, "but you have an out-of-town boyfriend" letting him know that I'm not on the market - it was humorous.

So that was the highlight of the day.

I honestly don't know how the day flew by that fast. I did a wellness survey in the morning, used the copier and guillotine in the afternoon and worked on the desk in between.

After work the boyfriend came up. We watched The Voice.

I know, isn't he sweet.

Aaannd as I hoped, tonight's was much better than last nights. Blake's country team rocks and Shakira's got Sasha so she'll be in for the finals.

All 16 of the artists have performed the votes will be counted and then tomorrow night is the results show. Two artists from each team with the most votes stay and then the coach gets to save one other but the 4th goes home leading us into next week's top 12 performances.

After that I think they're going back to the competition as a whole like last year so anyone can go home regardless of team.

I think, at least.

I liked that last year. It didn't matter who's team you were on. Before the top four were always one member from each team but you lose quality singers because too many good ones were on one team.

Thought last year there were a lot more singers as well cause they went from 12 on each team to 16....now they're back to 12 that was far too many.

Alright, enough with the ramblings, on to the music.

Here are my favorites from tonight.

Maybe It Was Memphis - Danielle Bradbery


Shakira said it best, "holy crap."

I haven't heard this song in like a decade. Back when I still actually listened to country music.

But that's also back when there was actual country music to be listened to.



Oh Darling - Sasha Allen


Hard to top Juliet Simms' cover from season two but this definitely comes close.

so this next one wasn't as fantastic as these previous two but i feel i must post it because it's a family thing.

Meet In The Middle - Justin Rivers


and since apparently you find my family stories amusing here's another.

although i'm pretty sure I've posted it on here already.

Our family changes the words to songs frequently but this is the most famous.

anyway, so the refrain that they sing goes like this:
I'd start walking your way, 
You'd start walking mine. 
We'd meet in the middle 
'Neath that old Georgia pine. 
We'd gain a lot of ground 
Cause we'd both give a little. 
Ain't no road too long 
When you meet in the middle. 

but our version goes like this:
I start walking your way, 
You sit on the couch. 
We meet in the middle 
Because I'm such a grouch. 
We gain a lot of ground, 
Cause we both eat a little. 
You are the queen, 
But I'm, I'm just little. 

except when Second Sister sang it she sings:
You start walking my way, 
I sit on the couch. 
We meet in the middle 
Because you're such a grouch 
We gain a lot of ground, 
Cause we both eat a little. 
I am the queen, 
But you, you're just little. 

and points at me.

thanks for that btw.

My guess for tomorrow's results are:
For Adam - Amber Carrington and Sarah Simmons will be saved and that Adam will save Judith Hill sending Caroline home - which would suck cause i love her.
For Blake - Danielle will definitely be safe, along with Holly I'm hoping. He'll probably save the Swon Brothers sending Justin home.
For Shakira - Sasha is safe, no question along with probably Karina, I'm hoping at least. She'll save Garrett.
And then Usher - no question that Michelle is safe but the rest is a complete toss-up. I'm thinking VEDO will be safe and he'll save Josiah. Even though he completely sucked and Cathia is much better.

Enough about that, DID YOU WATCH SPLASH?!

okay *spoiler alert* but dude, did you see Nicole land on her back?! that had to hurt.

I picked Rory and Drake from the start so I'm glad they finished 1,3 and Nicole definitely deserved to make it to the finals, she was a major surprise.

And it was ironic that she needed saving by the lifeguards with those big red floatie things since the role everything knows her from is Baywatch where she played a lifeguard and saved people with those big red floatie things.

Drake turned into kind of a jerk toward the end of the season so I'm glad Rory pulled it off and got the trophy. It was cool to see all the stars come back and dive again.

As dumb as this concept is I'm still hoping for a second season.

Cause it's surprisingly addicting.

And I'm curious as to who would be brave enough after seeing all these injuries to join it for a second season.

Alright, I'm gonna crash. Already midnight and I'm attempting to stop going to bed at 2 cause it's messing with my head.


Thursday, February 16, 2012

and my fingers are bejeweled with diamonds and gold, but that ain't gonna help me now.

Apparently 24 is not old.

That's what I was told today.

I'm aware it's not THAT old.

But for me, it's old...er...than I am now.

Or it is for the next few days at least.

And I'm starting to feel it.

Or maybe that's cause I'm still sick.

With whatever it is you want to call it.

My annual nausea-laden era.

This whole nauseous all the time thing sucks. Isn't three months enough? WHY CAN'T YOU GO AWAY?!

And don't tell me it's morning sickness.

I will kick your butt.

That's what the doctor said like 4 years ago.

And there have been no children.

So HA!

Just more nausea. Every year. Same time.

This is getting old fast.

And with it so am I.

Well, with that and grad school.

The chick got back to me today - after I called her and re-sent the e-mail from two different accounts.

She got them both.

This time.

And got back to me, so that's awesome.

What's not awesome is that now I have to write the paper, that I was so gladly putting off because she had yet to get back to me.

Now it's inevitable.

And I really need to finish it.

I started out tonight with such great intentions, really. Got all my stuff out, made supper, turned on some TV to watch while I ate.

THEN Carter fell asleep on my lap.

And you know, how can I disturb that?

So I kept watching, cause he was cute and cuddly and you know, not biting me.

Then I kept watching some more, but it was good cause now I'm finally caught up on NCIS.

Dude?! That 200th episode? I screamed on so many occasions that I'm surprised my neighbors didn't bust in! Freakin' Kate and Jenny, Fornell just made me laugh, and of course Franks, but Ari?!?! Dude. I wanted Gibbs to punch him.

I do have to question the whole Tony and Kate angle though, I thought they were more siblings and she was into Gibbs. Or that's how it seemed the first season.

I'm really curious how they filmed that as she doesn't look like Kate anymore with the blonde highlights. Medical Examiner in Boston. Or if they filmed it at all, technically that's the same outfit she wore in the plague episode. Did I mention I was a fan? Hmmm...

Then the most recent episode with the return of the elusive Wendy. I'm intrigued.

What was I saying?

Oh right, yes I wanted to be productive and I tried really hard, but then my cat fell asleep on me and it all went to crap.

Sorry.

I'll finish it tomorrow. I'm only 12-6, plus some minor errands.

Saturday is the Barnes and Noble Paperback Buy with the TAB kids, that should be interesting, but other than that I have the whole day so if it's not done by Friday night it'll be done by Saturday night. And posted by at least Sunday as that's a full-fledge day of family fun.

Or at least half-day, I still have no idea what or if we're doing anything for my birthday.

It's not a big deal as I don't really celebrate them, so I'm not gonna plan anything.

Just go with the flow, see if anyone wants to do anything on Monday. Since I have it OFF!

I love City Holidays, they rock.

Okay, songs for the night:

"Somebody to Love" Jefferson Airplane


i'm sorry, is she singing into a plug?

"Trouble" Pink

oh my god, jeremy renner in eye makeup. before he hit it big-time, that's nice.

"Big Girls Don't Cry" Franki Valli and the Four Seasons

i wonder why. especially with those moves and that unnaturally high voice.

What else before I crash and burn...

Today was good, Slim Shady took me out for lunch for my birthday. Jammed out there for a while. Was a good changeup from my usual soup and sandwich.

Worked on some Summer Reading Event stuff after that, plus I'm still working on my Hunger Games Read-Alike, if you have titles send them my way.

Though I have like 40. I'm weeding through and only keeping the good ones.

And the Spunky Old Ladies display is still rocking it on first floor. I'm quite proud of that one actually.

Alright, fading fast. Carter and I are out!

Lights will guide you home...

First day.

Spent it falling asleep on my feet. Literally. I mean, I was able to stay awake and conscious at work, but I totally passed out between shifts for an hour at my apartment.

Apparently, the two guys I worked with yesterday called in sick this morning.

But that's not exactly something you can do when it's your first day as a 40 hour professional.

I've only taken one sick day since I started in May of 2010. It's November of 2011.

Bring it.

It was a good first day, aside from the weakness and the wanting to crash.

And I have tomorrow off so I can rest up. I have a feeling I'll spend it on the couch. It's interesting having the whole day off from both places. I liked working at two different places for two different jobs but it was a lot to keep track of. Hopefully, this will be a little easier.

Other than working, and learning all about Kindle and its capabilities I also talked to my mom, who is coming to town tomorrow. She's always entertaining. And I can give her her new Christmas tree to take to the farm so I don't have to keep hauling it around in the back of my car.

Oh, did I mention I bought them a tree for Christmas? I think I might have in passing. Remember the Christmas Tree From Hell story? My Life in Closed Captions: A Christmas Tree Nightmare Mom says I get to throw the tree in the hole. I might even film the freaking event. It will be fantastic. And EPIC. I hate that freaking tree.

So yes, I bought them a new one. With no lights already attached. They just die off and don't work the next year anyway. This is easier. I will also buy them some new ornaments, if she wants them. It is her Christmas present. Well, hers and dad's. Who said I should get a giant 9 foot one, but since she and I are the ones to decorate the thing every year, I went with her decision on the 7 foot one instead.

And it's still in my car. So Mom can take it home tomorrow. No real point in taking it out of the car if I'm not going to put it up in my apartment.

Okay, other good things in life. Talked with Obi-Wan about camp today. Last weekend of July is set up. We'll get most of the rowdy crew back again, but with the exception of some major players who have scheduled conflicts. Gonna be interesting there.

Ummm... I'm watching the Kate's Sister episode of NCIS which totally makes me sad. Kate was my favorite. Think I still like her more than Ziva, which is saying something because Ziva seriously rocks. I'm glad that Sasha is back on TV. Rizzoli and Isles is rockin' it on TNT.

Oh! And Kat guest-starred on NCIS. As Chaplan Burke. I was impressed. And she's a redhead so maybe they'll keep her around since Gibbs has a thing for redheads. That'd be awesome. Kat as in Kat Gardener from Eastwick. aka Jaime Ray Newman. I loved Eastwick. But of course, it got cut short. Not a surprise there it did star Lindsay Price and Rebecca Romijn. Not exactly solid TV series records in their background. But I like them so I watched it. Found it quite funny. Although, the problem with it ending so quickly was that in the finale it made you believe that Darryl was a good person and not the devil like in the real Eastwick.

Speaking of redheads, I think my very favorite NCIS guest star redhead would probably be Casey Novak with a gun, Diane Neal aka Abigail Borin. Call the Coast Guard, She's fantastic. I just watched "Ships in the Night" yes, I'm watching season 8 on DVD again, get used to it. And I'm still laughing. She's on a horrible blind date on a boat - with nowhere to go - when someone gets shot and murdered and then Gibbs comes and she's still in a dress trying to work a crime scene, it's hysterical.

Gibbs: Well, somebody get something!
McGee computer beeps: Boss, I got something.
Borin: My guys never do that.
Gibbs: Get yourself some new guys.

Sorry. NCIS rocks. Maybe tomorrow night I'll serenade you with things about Bones or Criminal Minds or Castle or one of the movies I have checked out. But I'll stick with NCIS until I crash tonight.

Which is now. Cause yeah. Exhausted.



enjoy.

This is a week of my favorite things Day Six: Youtube clips

Today was awful. But family always helps. We had cake for Gram's birthday. The cool aunt did some 'creative cutting' around the wording. It was nice. Totally loud, probably could have gotten thrown out with all of our noisemakers - Gram was the loudest!! But we hung out, watched some reality TV, ate cake and drank asti. Good times.

Okay, so, because I'm running out of ideas you get some of my favorite youtube clips. But, because there are far too many to post, these are just a few. Cause yeah, too many to post.
So, these range from music videos to stand up to talk shows to clips of shows to behind the scenes stuff to whatever.

This is a week of my favorite things Day Three: Television

Despite spending the day surrounded by white walls and sterilized equiptment my day didn't totally suck. Bonus points for a fun family.
Quotes of the day:
Sarah: "You'd pick up a section of the couch and say, 'well, there's seven.'" My sister on cleaning her house and finding pacifiers

Mark: "I used to say 'Oh Pigeons' it's appropriate cause they're annoying as crap." My brother on swear words growing up

Mandy: "Stick him in the closet with a piece of cheese and a glass of water." My niece about her brother after he was being annoying

Mark: "We'll split the trains four ways, Carrie can have the beer mugs."
Sarah: "I want the Corve."
Me: "Can I have the Bird?"
Mark: "Yes, we'll flip you the Bird." Us jokingly dividing up the inheritance, Corve as in Corvette, Bird as in T-Bird.

Sarah: "Should we just move him into Heritage from here? I'm sure there's an open room." Joking about the nursing home, I won't say what my reply was but I will say Sarah was in tears from laughter.


Okay, so Day Three is all about TV. Even though the only thing I watched today was two minutes of Fox News once I found the station.
Because of work and school and a seldom social life I actually don't watch as much TV as I used to but I still have my favorites.

So, I'll start off with all-time favorites.
1. Women's Murder Club - the genius of James Patterson put on prime-time TV. But, due to the writer's strike and its poor timing it got cut off before it's prime. Luckily, there are still fans out there keeping it alive. Woohoo WMC day May 13th! Awesome kickbutt female cast of Angie Harmon, Paula Newsome, Laura Harris and newcomer Aubrey Dollar brought in comedy, intrigue, and just a kickass show that I wish was still running. My best friend has done character artwork and tattoos for me cause I'm that crazy, see first post. (1 season, 2007-2008)
2. Charmed - I know that sister-witches who vanquish demons doesn't sound all that great but when you add in actresses like Holly Marie Combs, Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano plus some comedy and major action you get kick-butt results. Even after Shannen got killed off Rose McGowan totally pulled it off. (8 seasons, 1998-2006)
3. Friends - this one is a classic without needing any explanation. Each character was unique, the writing was fantasic, and the story lines kept you intrigued and coming back for ten seasons. I'm such a nerd, again as told in the first post, quote a line and I'll tell you which episode it's from. (10 seasons, 1994-2004)
4. Just Shoot Me - As you can tell from a lot of my posts on TV I really root for the bitch character and I think it originated from this show. Wendie Malick as Nina Van Horn the take no prisoners fashion model just made me aware of how awesome it could be to be that mean and not even to care because you're still just that awesome. (Following her lead came Jane Lynch in Glee, Natalie Zea in Dirty Sexy Money, Megan Mullally in Will and Grace, Joanna Lumley from Absolutely Fabulous, Lauren Lane from The Nanny, more recently Mary McDonnell in The Closer, or Kyra Sedgwick who's always that way in The Closer, and my alltime hero Holly Hunter in Saving Grace) Back to JSM, even aside from Wendie Malick's character you get Dennis Finch aka David Spade the snarky office assistant, Enrico Colantoni as Elliot the ladies man photographer, George Segal as Jack Gallo the boss, and Laura San Giacomo (also in Saving Grace) who plays the main character, Maya, who is forced to work for her father at Blush Magazine when she goes broke. It's just fantastic. (7 seasons, 1997-2003)
5. Grey's Anatomy - This is the kind of primetime soap opera that builds careers. Had you heard of anyone besides Patrick Dempsey before 2005? Maybe Sandra Oh. But other than them, unless you are into cheesy romance flicks pre-Grey's that starred Katherine Heigl or paid really close attention in Daredevil to catch a glimpse of Ellen Pompeo then I'm gonna go with no. But now, you know all about them just because of this show and its popularity. The drama of ER plus the comedy of Friends gives you the best rated primetime soap opera still running. And yes, me and my friends do compare ourselves to its characters, get over it. (in it's 7th season, 2005-Now)

Favorites shows no longer running:
Will and Grace - great one-liners and an excellent comedy. it actually freaks me out to hear Megan Mullally talk in her actual voice
Absolutely Fabulous - amazing character dynamics, yay for British humor
What I Like About You - my favorite Amanda Bynes role, aside from She's the Man and All That (does anyone else remember that show?)
All That - the kids version of SNL basically, but from the 90's, Amanda Bynes, Nick Cannon and Kenan Thompson were major stars
Saving Grace - the badass detective Hanadarko, I wore random braids in my hair for a summer because of this show, yes i'm a nerd. I wish I was as much of a badass as Grace Hanadarko.
The Nanny - again, i'm a nerd. and it's hilarious. well, Niles and CC are funny, not so much Fran's voice.
Cashmere Mafia - bad timing with the writer's strike similar to WMC but it had potential
Boy Meets World - classic tgif, seasons 1-4 out on DVD now btw (shameless plug)
That 70's Show - another great comedy that built careers for multiple actors, Topher Grace, Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Donna Prepon
Gilmore Girls - fast talking family fun, so many pop culture references plus the awesomeness that is Lauren Graham
Firefly - a recent favorite that's so cheesy it's awesome. i love Nathan Fillion.
Charlie's Angels - the original series, I love the cheesy fake fighting and the mystery and just it's just too awesome for words. Plus they're remaking it and anything produced by Flower Films is amazing so I'm stoked!

Still running favorites:
Big Bang Theory - i love the different characters and how they just fit together plus the acting is great, (Kaley Cuoco was on Charmed in its last season) congrats to Jim Parsons for his Golden Globe!
Criminal Minds - okay, so i haven't watched it since they went all 'creative reasons' on AJ/JJ but it's still in my favorites list because of seasons 1-5 even though Prentiss wasn't around until season 2. she's seriously kickass. best character.
Warehouse 13 - another recent favorite that if you give a chance you'd really like too, claudia makes it worth it, she's kind of my idol.
NCIS - does this even need an introduction? Mark Harmon, Michael Weatherly, Pauley Perrette and characters like Ziva David and Tony DiNozzo? awesome.
Rizzoli and Isles - gotta say, I still see Sasha Alexander as Kate in NCIS but I can adjust to her as an ME. Plus add in Angie Harmon as a detective again...who i still see as Lindsay Boxer so to me this is just like a messed up show and even though in my mind it shouldn't make sense it's still something i find completely compelling. did you follow that?
Harry's Law - recent favorite, Kathy Bates is a badass.
Bones - i started this show in season three and immediately had to go back and netflix all of the first two seasons. they're excellent with the comedy and the drama - i don't even mind the gore and i'm the queesiest person you'll ever meet
Castle - Nathan Fillion + Stana Katic = awesome, plus i love the cop/writer aspect
The Closer - started watching this show in the first season and fell in love with the characters and the writing and the accents, hysterical. i'm so sad it's the last season. but they're talking spinoff, which only brings in more questions.
Glee - i love musicals. plus Jane Lynch. plus Lea Michelle. plus Chris Colfer. plus plus plus...
Burn Notice - another recent addiction, it's like comedy plus action, very similar to RED with the whole agent being burned and having to find out why.
Wipeout - I started this in the first season when it was just a summer thing. Grams and I watched every week and laughed so hard! I love the commentary and the big red balls. Hilarious.
World's Dumbest, I've already posted a clip from this. My Life in Closed Captions: Text if you make it to your apartment, call if you... I love it, it's where celebrities careers go to die but seriously, it's fantastic. Celebrities do commentary on these stupid clips that people send in and they make lists like the top 20 world's dumbest criminals or 20 world's dumbest brawlers or 20 world's dumbest commercials just that kind of stuff. It's fantastic.

Just a notice: I'll probably be adding on to these throughout the week as I remember more things cause I'm forgetful but mostly because I post these while I'm half asleep then feel like an idiot the next day because I've forgotten something important.
For example: more favorite artists MXPX after raving about them at Warped, Avril Lavigne cuz I'm a nerd for punk music, Spice Girls because yes I was from that generation and I still blast it when it comes up on my headphones. And Eminem who was my favorite rapper for like ever, plus I'm also discovering the genius that is She and Him aka Zooey Deschanel and her partner.
And Movies - Um hello, Harry Potter! Chasing Destiny - awesome Lauren Graham who should also be on my top actors list - because it was totally underrated yet hilarious, Holiday movies of How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the original animated classic) and Hocus Pocus because Bette Midler is fantastic. Add in First Wives Club for also that reason. John Tucker Must Die I watched every day for like a year, but like more than once a day each of those days, add Brittany Snow to my actress list - have you seen her in Harry's Law?! Music and Lyrics the brilliance of Drew and Hugh Grant plus an awesome soundtrack. Never Been Kissed, another brilliant Drew movie, all of the Pirates trilogy that I might have mentioned Johnny Depp is a god amongst men. The Princess Bride is another classic along with the first two Rush Hour movies (the third wasn't as good) and um, hello, I'm a total Star Wars nerd. Like a Star Wars nerd seriously, who's such a nerd that she started a debate at work about Wars vs. Trek. I'm a Wars fan as are the rest of my siblings (except Sarah I'm sure I'll get the 'not me, just the rest of you losers' comment here soon). And the Zorro movies with Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta Jones were also fantastic. Another addition to the favorite actress list is Sasha Alexander. My laptop is named Kate for crime-ony! and now Rizzoli and Isles, I just really like her.

Seriously, don't know how I missed all of those, but they'll be added to the lists tonight.


Aaannnnd now that all the excitement is over...for now. I'm out for the night. Halfday at work tomorrow plus staff meeting then heading back to the white walls and sterilized equiptment.


Turn around bright eyes.

"Is this ad relevant to you?" "No!"

Gotta love watching TV online. I love Hulu, it's fantastic, it has all my favorite shows and it's free. But they stick you with these ads that are like ridiculous then ask if they're relevant to you. Car commercial, relevant? No. Different car commercial, relevant? No. Kay jewelry commercial, relevant? No. Open hearts jewelry commercial, relevant? No. Video game promotion, relevant? No. I was like, what's next? Different video game promotion?
Is it just me or is anyone else secretly waiting for the psycho killer to show up at the end of that "i'm right here and i always will be" storming outside kay diamond commercial? I think I watch too many crime shows. Speaking of, I caught up on Bones and I don't want to ruin anything for anybody else who isn't up to date but dude. Like duuuude. Big episode last week, I'm stoked for tomorrow's. Heather Taffet man! And I was starting to like her as an actress. She was in the Closer, Saving Grace and Criminal Minds as well - although I haven't seen the last one since I'm on strike. I'll spare you the rant. Again. But a serial guest star again, like Natalie! aka "bring it on old man" chick from RED aka Go Meat chick from the Hillshire Farms commercial who also guest spotted on all my favorite shows. Scroll down a few posts and you'll find who I'm talking about. In fact, Taffet and Natalie kind of remind me of one another. Maybe it's the red hair and bad attitude.

So the roads here are awful but Jarvis and I are still having fun. Except that it took FOREVER to scrape off the windshield this morning even though I used the self-start ten minutes before. Just have to start earlier tomorrow morning. But driving and seeing snow flying everywhere reminded me of sledding on the farm. You don't just have the sled you go all out with the 4-wheeler pulling you over hills and ponds and through the ditches. You just gotta hang on for dear life. Especially when your cousin runs you into a mailbox, my bad, sorry Megan. Or over the top of a car, again my bad Megan, but it was well worth it. And it's always fun when you get stuck in a pile of snow and step on the gas only to fly right through making the person on the sled get completely yanked off because it's so sudden. Awesome. Unfortunately I've missed out on the sledding so far since I've been working but I'll have to make up for it when I go home.
One of my favorite snow memories was when it snowed so much and it piled up next to the quanset - this building of ours so big it houses the combine and tractors and all that - and so I climbed all the way to the top and slid down. Mom totally flipped, like flipped. Dad just laughed and went inside to get the camera. I was fearless. There's a picture of me standing on top of this thing and it's not like a flat top building, it's rounded. That was probably a very bad idea. But I survived.
I also liked making forts, we did a lot of that in grade school. But no snowball fights, that was frowned upon, in grade school and high school.

Music currently jamming out to
- "Don't know nothing" by Maroon 5. I love the rhythm of this one. I'm recommending their Hands All Over album again, it's fantastic.
Food thinking about eating even though it's after 11
- popcorn. mmm... popcorn.
TV show I will most likely fall asleep watching
- NCIS first season, I'm back to the DVDs. I miss Kate. It's so weird seeing Sasha as a Medical Examiner now. And Angie Harmon is still a detective but she'll always be Lindsay Boxer to me. Yes I'm referencing Women's Murder Club. Get over it. But I do like Rizzoli and Isles, I'm waiting for the first season to come out on DVD. Should look into when it comes out. Oh well, job for tomorrow. I'm out.
