I was going to rant and rave about Comcrap and their massive fail that ended with me having no cable or internet at home for probably a couple of days (I went to knitting group Thursday night and didn't get back online until work Friday morning). Apparently they detected a signal leak coming from my apartment and because I am swamped at work with a deadline and enough work that I should probably be there this weekend but am not and therefore I forgot to call them right away to make an appointment that I couldn't have been scheduled until this weekend anyway, they turned off my service. Supposedly I'm going to be credited for a few days, but we'll see. The best part? THERE'S NO LEAK COMING FROM MY CABLE STUFF. Their meters were set off by my television. So no TV or internet FOR NO REASON.

But then I woke up to this:

The back porch


Which made me all kinds of happy, so I'm a little less cranky.

I just downloaded Dollhouse from iTunes, and I'm downloading Stargate Universe, and part of me wants to send Comcast a bill for the $6.50 or so that it will cost, since their idiocy made me miss my shows. The funny thing is that I've lived near airports for the last ten years or so, and Brighthouse NEVER had a problem with signal leakage. Makes me curious as to what the hell is so wrong with Comcast's equipment that this is apparently a known problem.

I really want to go to Noodle Co and get some macaroni and cheese, but uh...

Apartment Parking lot


I still have no ice scraper (tried to buy one last night but Target was out).

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 [info]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. )

HELLO WORLD. Man, it feels weird to not post as frequently as I'm used to. I got a bit out of the habit when I was packing/moving/internet-less, but now it's just kind of weird. The job is going extremely well, keeping me super busy and occupied and I LOVE IT. My brain has been hurting every evening, because I'm literally not used to using it as much (I mean, it was definitely not taxed for a year and a half).

I've been keeping pretty busy still. My adventures in Colorado, so far. )

Why, you ask?

Because I've processed and uploaded all of my pictures from my weekend in Colorado...but you can't see the majority of the photos from the wedding. I HAVE MY REASONS. I will post them as soon as a certain something happens.

Okay, so Chuck. Kind of awesome. Must figure out some way to watch season 2 over the summer. And how could you all hold out on me? As I was watching, I was thinking that Zachary Levi was pretty darn adorable, and then I watched one of the special features, and he had long hair and was all scruffy (this was during the writer's strike, apparently)... Really, I must thank Tia repeatedly for encouraging me to watch this show. :D And now I must go find some icons.

I am not sure that I am emotionally prepared for tonight's Criminal Minds finale. I am terrified that they're going to give us a serious cliffhanger, and unlike seasons 1-3, I can't go find out what happens right away! This worries me.

In unfortunate news, my mom sent me an email this evening, and apparently she doesn't expect that her mother will make it to the end of the week. Obviously we all hope that she will make a miraculous recovery, but being realistic, please keep her in your thoughts and prayers and hope for a relatively pain-free passing, whenever it may happen.

Wow. There's a lot to process here.
