Visits and Viewing

Robin Hood Logo That was good. Though I had a moment of “I miss Will,” I was really pleased with the season premiere of Robin Hood. Actually, I’m still smiling and so relieved that it has taken on a new vibe, but held to the core purpose. I can’t wait for more! As usual, I’m still holding Legend of the Seeker until later today, so perhaps after viewing Seeker and Primeval, I’ll have even more to babble about.

Ben’s visit was the best in years. We had El Mariachi, shopping, Starbucks chai lattes, and fun with component cables. Truthfully, I fixed the problem with the DVD player this morning, but I could not have done it without Ben’s help from last night. He connected the cables expertly, but I neglected to check the settings on just one thing; the DVD player itself. After waking with this revelation, I reconnected everything just as he had done, changed the settings and BAM! Awesome picture. I just had to watch Robin Hood again at that point (you know, just to check out the cables 😉 ). Thanks, Ben!!

And So It Gets Better

Work is becoming nearly fun again. We’ve defined our priorities, and though they are not my own personal priorities, I will go along with them. Maybe this Spring’s “Blah Bout” is going to be the shortest-lived yet! I’m feeling quite optimistic about most things, and though we all want things we can never have (NIN reference, y’all), that’s what keeps our devious little minds going.

Ben is coming down for a quick visit later and we get Legend of the Seeker, Robin Hood, and Primeval today. Not bad at all!

Even Excedrin Fails

Arrgh. I have a headache. I have a massive headache. Taking six tablets today hasn’t helped much. Putting in for a transfer has alternately lessened and worsened it. So. What’s the one thing that can push me over the edge? Yep. It’s Benny Ninja time on ANTM. Hellllllp. I have a twelve hour workday tomorrow and I stayed up for this?!? I’d love to stay up for Make Me A Supermodel, but I think I’ll be catching my recording of it on Friday. Nah, you’re right. It will be Saturday before I watch, as I will be conked out on the sofa from the minute I get home Friday until sometime Saturday morning. Heh.

In optimistic news, I just found out that we get not only Robin Hood on Saturday, but Primeval too! Finally–some excellent news.

[Edit for the OMFG! Oh no she didn’t on ANTM!]

Spring Feverish

heroeslogo Heroes didn’t disappoint. The hype was there, and I loved it. For a non-Sylar episode, I would say that it was actually pretty fantastic. While nearly everyone called the identity of Rebel, I was glad to see it play out the way it did. The only thing that would have been even cooler is if Rebel had actually had the accomplice we thought he would have. How’s that for non-specific non-spoiler? Oh, and Daphne was, as always, adorable. Next week is going to be all Sylar! SYLAR!

In this year’s installment of “Why I Hate Spring”, I refer you to the poison ivy on my hands. I left the house for less than five minutes to pick up some rubbish that had blown into my yard during the recent storms and came in immediately to wash with bleach, but it beat me. If the poison ivy stays contained to my hands, I’ll be happy; it’s the face affliction that I dread. I’m on double the Benedryl now, so hopefully it will provide some kind of benefit. I really don’t want to be forced to get the injections and prescriptions for decadron and steroids–again.
