Productivity

Productivity, thy name is mine.  I shall now list my accomplishments for the week.

Wrote two papers and responded appropriately to others in one of my classes (whew!).

Caught up on all my shows including Torchwood (fun!), SGA (boring), Lost (sucks), Survivor (hurrah!)

Ordered Mom’s cookie cake for tomorrow

Gave Hobbit extra present of SuperScratcher (Awww)

Quite a bit of housework (finally).

And now, I have to go back and see what I’ve missed online, because I’ve managed to stay off all week.  Good for me!

This is my life

torchwood1.jpgI’ve always liked Owen. I could kind of understand the fandom hate because he can be a right ass, but it never turned me completely off. Owen fan or not, “A Day In The Death” (S2 E8) is one of the top five episodes of any show ever. I spent the last hour or so watching and only now am I starting to recover. Actually, I’m still a little stunned and can’t really keep going on about it just yet. Hope everyone else sees it favorably when it airs here.

Let me know.

Do Over

I want a do over, of everything.

I can only hope that the parallel universe theory is true and there’s another me out there for whom everything goes right all the time. Bah. From the big things such as having a husband to the little things like random album art not showing up on my Zune, just bah.

As an early birthday present, Dad and Mom got my car fixed up a bit. I got a front-end alignment, new brakes and four new tires. Whee! The old rattle seems to be gone and now I’m not dreading all the trips I have to make this month.

I still look forward to Torchwood each week, but in our house it’s known as The Jack and Ianto Look At Each Other show. That’s just about the only reason we tune in, but it’s a good enough reason, I suppose. Survivor is back, and I don’t know how I missed it, but I’ve made up the first episode and it’ll do. Oh, congratulations, LOST. I actually *did* turn it off this week. My lord, could that one guy overact more?!? He might as well have a sign on that says, “Hey viewers, I’m odd and quirky, WATCH MEEEEE!” I think I’m just over how seriously the show takes itself. It’s a stupid show, based on stupid premises that the writers can’t get out of now, and yet they make it play out as if it’s Shakespeare. FFS. When it was a group of people on an island with “something’ out there, it rocked. Once the “something” became warring factions of others, scientists, and their ilk, it failed. Flash forwards suck, the flashbacks suck, everyone we’ve met since Season 1 sucks. Oh, and just kill Ben and be done with it. Geez.

Tube News

Extremely brief wrap-up.

LOST– Eh, I didn’t turn it off, that’s an improvement. Still not feeling it.

Torchwood– S2E2 and S2E3- Not as good as S1E1.  Not giving up.

SGA– Last week was painful to watch.  That little girl is NOT a good actress.  Don’t go there again.  This week? Filler.   Next week?  Dr. Keller again.  Ugh.  Visceral hatred for an hour.

Make Me A Supermodel– Yeah, I voted (repeatedly) for Holly to stay, what of it?  There was no chance she was leaving, but I really thought it would be Jay.  No need to vote this week, don’t care about any of them.

As usual, the one show I can count on to entertain me (possibly due to my low expectations) is The Gauntlet III.
