Life In One Call

714 Comments

I have been feeling weird today; almost hollow. I considered writing a whole post about how much better things were when I was at WVU and how I missed having friends around.

Then, it happened. My whole life was summed up in a phone call from my mom. “Call me right back so I can see if this new phone works properly,” she said.

That’s me. I’m the person you call only to have some menial task fulfilled. I’m the person you call because you know I’ll be home with nothing else to do. This is what I am.

Excuse me while I go be emo. 😥

Haircut 100

1,168 Comments

Double cookies to anyone who gets the title of this post. :clown: Anyway, I got a haircut today. Actually, I’ve cut my own hair every day for about a month now, so I was in desperate need of professional help (yes, in more ways than one). I tried to do the dorktastic “take a picture of myself” thing, but it didn’t turn out well, so just picture Carter, Season 8; more “Threads” than “It’s Good To Be King”, but I’m pleased.

I’m seriously jonesing for more Fringe. Tuesdays (Eureka) can’t come soon enough, and I’ve already ‘thonned Heroes, Pushing Daisies, Spaced, and Doctor Who (including Christmas specials). If the trade-off for going back to work means Fall TV Schedules, I’m ready. Project Runway and Shear Genius each proved that there’s no logic in the judges’ thought, so while I will watch them more as “shows” than “competitions”.

21 to Life

There’s talk of a new RoboCop movie. Normally, I wouldn’t care one bit about this news, but something in the report punched me in the gut…hard. The first RoboCop movie was released 21 years ago. TWENTY-ONE FRELLIN’ YEARS AGO. How f’n old are we?!? I was no youngster when RoboCop came out TWENTY-ONE FRELLIN’ YEARS AGO.

I know time is marching on and all that jazz, but I’m still in my Peter Pan mode, refusing to grow up. However, when I read things like the above, I start to think that maybe, just maybe, I’m getting old anyway. This is a dark, dark day. :evileye:

Dark Prospect

Am I the only one in America who’s not interested in The Dark Knight?  There is absolutely no chance that I’ll see it in a theater, and there’s little chance that I’ll even dl it.  I’m sure it’s actually, you know, dark, as in brightness, and that doesn’t bode well for dl’s.  Meh.  Just tell me what happens and it will be as good as being there….better even.

SGA is on tonight.  Whoop-de-doo.  I used to love Fridays for that very reason, but this is a Keller ep, so, Bah!  Maybe I’ll hold today’s recordings of Voyager and watch them later instead.  Hey, either way, it’s a Picardo kind of night, no?  🙂

My grandmother came out of her surgery much better for it.  They removed some clots and infection and she’s on her way home.  Dad said we might try to make Mom go out for steak tonight, and I certainly hope we do.  There’s a new dish at Texas Steakhouse I want to try:

Coffee Rubbed Steak Skillet: Mesquite-grilled filet tips hand-seasoned with ground coffee and Texas spices served sizzlin’ hot over chipotle BBQ red-eye gravy on a bed of red bliss potatoes, sautéed mushrooms and spicy roasted corn ‘n peppers. Garnished with fresh sliced jalapeños for that added kick.

Yum.
