Monday, whiny Monday

[smeddley]

Ah, back to work, yay! I really wish I could sleep for another 10 hours or so, but it is not to be. I'll just have to zombie through work, and class tonight.

This weekend was fun, if a bit too packed. Relay for Life performance on Friday night, which went well. I was worried because I gave blood earlier in the day, and it was an outside dance, and it was hot and humid, but I was fine. Our troupe leader was apparently not as lucky, and we need to keep an eye on her in the future!

We went to a Big Band 1940s dance in an airplane hanger (complete with antique airplanes) on Saturday night, which was a lot of fun. And there was a nice breeze that kept it from being unbearably hot.

Yesterday was even a little productive!

Now, on the whiny side:

* I don't know if I mentioned it here, but my odometer stopped working on my car. Pretty much makes it worthless, and it's more annoying than I thought.

* My leg/back still hurts, I don't think the injections did anything.

* I spent yesterday finishing my items for the Three Tiny Movie Things swap, and was ready to send, only to realize my partner lives in Canada and the USPS stopped even accepting packages to Canada on Saturday. Wheeee!

* Speaking of swaps, still no word on the One Tiny Stuffie Round 5 swap - haven't heard from my partner, and the organizer hasn't seemed to have done anything, at least not anything communicated to me. Blergh.

In other news:

I've started watching Supernatural on DVD from the library. Some of my f-list has been very vocal about how it gets pretty sexist and 'ugh' in later seasons, some of my f-list loves the show. I am on the fence.

Sam can be whiny and annoying (yes, I know, who am I to talk) and Dean is taking the macho tough guy act a little too far (which can also be annoying). The individual cases are kinda interesting, especially when they tie in urban legends. The soundtrack is fabulous. Very much my kind of music!

So, part-way into season 2 and I'm 'eh' on it. I don't know that I would watch it on TV, but on DVD it's interesting enough.

I also have Sherlock season 1 to watch.

AND! I made some clay things for a project, I need to bake them (I need to clean my oven first, but the self-clean cycle takes awhile) and see if it turns out like it did in my head...

I'm a pretty spotty Supernatural watcher, but I have a favorite episode, from Season 3: Mystery Spot. Because I'm morbid and found it hilarious.

I just finished season 2, I'll pick up seasons 3 & 4 from the library next week. I will pay special attention to that episode! :D

We're partway into season 5, and the show definitely changes some over time. The characters develop, and the show gets a bit more plot-centric. I would recommend hanging in for a bit.

And yes, the music rocks :)

Lock out of the postal service should be resolved by mid week. Rumour has it they are going to legislate us back to work.

Ooooooh, I wish I could go to a dance like that. That is So Cool.

I'm hanging in there, just finished season 2. I'm still mostly on the fence, because there are things I like (besides the music, though that is a big plus) and there are things that drive me bonkers. I tend to go for more humorous shows, so episodes with a lot of one-liners and funny bits I enjoy more, the emo, maudlin ones I like less.

I'll start season 3 next week!

I do hope it resolves soon! I'm one of the few people I know who is genuinely a big fan of the postal service!

It was a lot of fun, and I wasn't even sure I'd like it that much! They have it twice a year, c'mon out for a visit and we'll go! :D

I'll be THRILLED when we go back to work. However it happens.
