now you're just somebody that i used to know.

Ah, living the dream.

The vacation was great, short-lived, but great.

So I'm back to life fulltime tomorrow, which is fine, I have a lot to do. Juiceboxes, finish campfires, etc.

Visited the cemetery today with mom and great aunt, it reminded me of a story my uncle told me a few years back. Apparently, one of our relatives was quite the drinker and the doctor told him it was unhealthy so he should quit. The dude looks at the doctor and says, "I know a lot more old drunks than old doctors."

Was cool to see the headstones and hear the stories. Learn family history and all that. Though a little creepy considering you never know where to step.

After that I watched some more Swamp People with dad, got caught up, and yes HeeHaw clips as well. Had them all lined up for certain sketches. Then watched some Leverage, mom liked it so that was cool. I got her hooked on Chuck before, looking forward to the season premiere for this one. Gotta have something to watch, my favorites are dropping like flies either being cancelled or the storylines suck.

I've given up on Greys, Private Practice, Glee, Body of Proof, and Criminal Minds - I really like that last one but if Paget is gone gone then I'm officially done. Will have to watch the finale and see what happened. They better not kill her off for real this time.

Then they cancelled Chuck, possibly GCB, plus the Closer will soon be over, which leaves me with Castle, NCIS, the Voice, and....crap, what else is on my DVR? Leverage, Warehouse 13, Hot in Cleveland, that might be it. And I don't watch those live. Oh Bones, but I'm behind on that. As well as Big Bang Theory. 2 Broke Girls, I love that one. Watched a bit of it tonight as well, Max throwing Caroline a birthday party and them ending up the prison to see Caroline's dad but instead Max met an old ex who had her tattooed on his stomach. Awkward.

Wipeout is gonna come back for the summer, love that one. We watched highlights of it at Stop Class.

Made the day go by pretty quickly.

I'm sure there's something I'm missing, I could just check the DVR but I'm too tired and lazy.

Maybe the cancellations are good as camp is coming up. I don't really have time to watch anything anyway.

So, tomorrow. Big day. And the word of the day will be: "Agliff: a verb only found in the past participle as aglifft, meaning frightened. It is related to the equally obsolete gliff, meaning to alarm."

Would you add an -ed after that? "Like I agliffed myself when I saw the creepy stalker?" or would it just be "I was agliff after he approached me." ??

Books, Movies, TV ramblings

Okay, so since there's not much to talk about other than work I'll have to improvise. I've started making lists. After all, it is the time of year when lists are most appropriate - xmas shopping mostly.

Here's one for entertainment:

Books:
Finished reading - "Naked Heat" by Richard Castle. It's not as good as the first book in the series but i'd still give it around a 8/10. it's cool to be able to get the jokes since i watch the show. it really helps to understand the characters and their quirks.
Currently reading - "I was told there'd be cake" by Sloane Crosley and she is very much like the female version of David Sedaris. I love it.
On my list - "Holidays on Ice" by David Sedaris. I love his writings and since this one is all about holidays with family I think it's an appropriate read for right about now.

Movies:
Last movie watched - "Serenity" the finale to the Firefly series. It was sad, I'm not sure I liked it, I think I would have ended it differently.
Before that one it was "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" which was funny only because the english subtitles didn't match with what they were saying in the dubbed version. Too funny. But the movie was excellent, I was hooked from the start. And a little disturbed.
On my list aka the dvds sitting on top of my tv that I haven't gotten around to watching yet - "The Bounty Hunter" Jennifer Aniston is amazing and hilarious,"Robin Hood" have always been a fan of the robin hood story
And on Friday I'm going to the new Harry Potter movie with my aunt, woohoo!

TV:
Current tv phase - You've probably figured out that Firefly was going to make this list. And I love how there are so many subtle references to it in Castle. I mostly just got hooked into Firefly because I checked it in, saw it had Nathan Fillion in it and it sounded interesting. Now that I've seen it all I'm still not sure how I feel about it. It's cheesy but it's good. And I think I like it.
Also watching a lot of The Nanny. No idea why. Maybe because it's on. But it has so many good one-liners. Especially those between Niles and C.C. Hilarious.
3rd is "Boy Meets World." I picked up the first three season, excellent, I love the Cory and Topanga relationship. I used to watch it all the time on TGIF.
Shows I've sworn off - Criminal Minds because of the AJ/JJ departure. "Creative Differences" whatever. I figure 5 seasons are enough for me
Shows I want to watch but haven't had time for: "Detroit 187" - a friend was an extra, "Mike and Molly" I love Melissa Mccarthy, and "No Ordinary Family" just looks fun.
