Teehee, so I watched last night's episode of Castle, and the teaser shows scenes from next week's Halloween episode. At one point, Castle is prancing around his apartment in his Halloween costume, and if he's not wearing Mal's EXACT outfit, then it's one perfectly similar to it. Brown coat, light brown pants with suspenders, brown shirt, and a pistol. I may have rewound and watched this 2 second scene a few times. CAPTAIN TIGHTPANTS RIDES AGAIN.

Dollhouse: I HAVEN'T SEEN LAST WEEK'S STILL. I procured it, I can watch it at some point, but tonight is knitting night and tomorrow I'm going out with beanpop and her hubs so I'll just have to watch it before I watch tomorrow night's episode... probably this weekend.

Glee: Really, the only reasons I think I keep watching this show are the musical numbers and Jane Lynch. The rest of the story lines are either a) not terribly well written; b) incredibly over the top; c) just plain boring; d) all of the above.

Castle: Freaking awesome as usual. I love this show. I love Nathan Fillion going all grammar nazi on suspects. And Stana's hair is gorgeous. DO WANT.

Criminal Minds: I love hobbly Reid (okay, no one's surprised about that). I'd bake him cookies. Bad Garcia, Bad! those of you who follow my twitter already saw my elation, but Sean Patrick Flanery (looking a bit older but still pretty darned cute and doing a fantastic job) was on last night's episode. YOUNG INDY.

...I watch other shows but I'm either behind or have nothing interesting to say about them, so, ( pictures from the past weekend. )

I have been trying and trying to catch up with you all, and being busy at work and having my parents in town is just making this impossible, so I give up. If, in the last few days, you've said anything mind-blowing, earth-shattering, or just really really funny that you think I'd get a kick out of, please let me know. Otherwise, I'm just going to hope that all of you are having fabulous lives, and start over at some point.

Anyway, what's new. My parents are still in town. On Saturday, we drove up to Poudre Canyon and the Great Stupa at Shambhala Mountain. I'm not sure I was liberated upon seeing but maybe I was and just didn't realize. We also went to dinner with myras_girls and her hubby, during which the aforementioned hilarity ensued. On Sunday, we drove up to Rocky Mountain National Park, and there was SNOW. It doesn't count as part of SnowWatch 2009 because it a) wasn't falling and b) was at 12,000 feet instead of right outside my door. We walked around Old Town Fort Collins on Monday and ate at the Silver Grill Cafe. Quite yummy. I took lots of pictures and am in the process of uploading them. I'll be sure to post some here when they're all up.

Yesterday, I went to work, but not before my mother did some slight rearranging in the kitchen EARLY in the morning, meaning I had two minutes of trying to figure out where my electric kettle had gone. They played golf and then she also rearranged my living room. She likes to do these things, what can I say? Oh, and last night, I also showed my dad the episode of Castle from Monday night (because they were watching football on Monday night), and he seemed to greatly enjoy it. Today, the plan was for them to hang around the house while I'm at work, and then we'll probably go to dinner, and then they're leaving tomorrow at the same time I leave for work. This will make them happy, as it's supposed to be rather chilly here tomorrow and they've been giving me grief for sleeping with the windows open. :D

Who wants to fly out here around the end of November to attend the Swell Season at the Ogden in Denver with me? You know you want to... I'm planning to see Vienna Teng on the 21st with Chrysta and Corey, and The Sounds with Sharon (co-worker) and her hubby on Halloween. I will go to the Sounds show by myself if I must, but I'm hoping I can find someone around here who would be willing to go with me (mostly so I wouldn't have to drive back and forth from Denver by myself).

Following up on my last "real" post, I have made a budget for the month of October and if I am able to stick to it, I will come out an eensy-weensy bit ahead. But not much, which is sad, because I would like to be able to put money back into savings. At least I have a plan. Plans are good, yes.

For those of you who are Criminal Minds fans and/or Big Bang Theory fans, here's a picspam comparing Dr. Spencer Reid to Sheldon Cooper. I don't watch BBT (at the moment), but this picspam cracked me up.

This morning, the barista at Starbucks told me she loved my bag. This was made extra special by the fact that it's the bag I made myself.

I really need to sleep tonight and tomorrow night. It would be nice. I couldn't fall asleep last night--probably dozed off sometime after 1, and then I was up at 6:30 when the alarm went off. I'm thinking chamomile or sleepy tea in the evenings. Except I have to time it JUST RIGHT tomorrow because I can't go off to Colorado without knowing what's going to happen to Reid this time.

I've acquired a little nest egg in my PayPal account and I was really itching to buy some yarn yesterday. However, I managed to refrain, mostly by reminding myself that I have two skeins of sock yarn coming as part of the Vamp club, as well as some more sock yarn that is payment for other services rendered, and you know, souvenir yarn. (Oh lord.) So instead I bought this (hoping Etsy link works).

Thanks to FX, I have seen The Mummy Returns, X-Men 3: The Last Stand, and Underworld: Evolution numerous times over the last few days. They make for good background noise. OH! I should buy Rise of the Lycans.

Oh, and Castle and Dollhouse both really need to be renewed, because I need to know what happens after those finales.

OH GOD NATHAN FILLION COULD YOU BE ANY MORE HUMOROUS? I think not.



I can't wait for CBS to upload the whole episode, so I can watch a better version of it.
