General Randomness

I've got nothing today. Just kind of blah (might be the weather, not sure - it's a cloudy, drizzly day perfect for reading in bed or by a fire, but not so perfect for being at work. Though really, what day is perfect for being at work? The work-whining-cessation may be over soon, we'll have to see.) Hm. I looked out my window and now I guess I have to revise my weather blame - it has cleared up, the sun is out, and there are happy little puffy clouds dancing about in the sky. It's actually looking like it might shape up into a reasonable day.

Anyway, the weekend was relaxing overall, which is always a pleasant thing. Saturday was my last pottery class (though I'll need to go back in next week and finish up the two pieces that weren't bisque fired yet as well as pick up anything that's been glaze fired.) I'm glad I took both classes, enjoyed it muchly, but am glad that it's finished. I think the pottery bug has been bitten for a little while at least. And I'm looking forward to being able to sleep in of a Saturday morning. We spent the rest of the day at mom and dad's helping with mulching and other chores - sort of a birthday/mother's day gift for mom and Christmas gift for dad. It was a good day for it - not actively raining, but not hot either. The puppies enjoyed frolicking (as they usually do.)

Yesterday after church (on which I have written and discarded two posts; sufficient to say I will resume skipping church on Mother's Day from here on out), Tim and I did some DVR catch up. I believe we're now only 3 episdoes behind on 24 - so we're catching up somewhat. Someone tell me Aaron is ok! (I think I read that he was, but can't remember where to go check up again.) We left with Martha waiting for him by the stables and finding his cell. They can't kill off Aaron! It would just be wrong.

We also did some Dr. Who catching up. The new Dr. Who just rocks. I'm glad they sent Eric back to mummy - he was a pain and I didn't want him getting in the way of potential romance between Rose and the Doctor. Plus, seriously, I would just be snapping my fingers to open the hole in his head constantly if he was still around. I need to look and see if some enterprising soul has made a downloadable ringtone of the Dr. Who themesong, cause that would rock. I've been known to go around the house singing "DoWOOOwoo" after a few episodes. Much to Tim's amusement (he's just jealous because he can't quite do it right.)

I caught up on Criminal Minds (no loss if Elle is gone), NCIS (Gibbs! Maybe Tony can donate what passes for his brain to Gibbs to help with the memory problem), CSI (eh, Brass. Whatever. Hope he's ok, but if he's dead so be it), and Numb3rs (anyone else just tired of the whole "too nerdy to handle a relationship" sub-plot? Too much of a stereotype for me, I guess, and if she's gonna go somewhere else, then maybe he can find someone less annoying to date. Plus, seriously, why does he think that they should be able to date and not talk about math? That's what they do - it's a significant part of their lives (the academics) so it's natural that that's what they'd talk about, and seriously, that's how you form a good relationship, not by trying to force conversation to some other, stilted, conversation. Anyway, if she leaves, I won't cry.)

We also watched a few episodes of House, though right now that's what we have the most of saved up (since we're catching up on last season Friday nights plus new episodes on Tuesdays). It's a little bizarre to go back and forth between the seasons - especially since it kills a little suspense (in re: the whole 'you have to fire someone' mandate - though it still twisted the heart a bit when Cameron goes to House's house and says she's resigning. Sigh. Numb3rs could take a hint or two about romantic longings from House.)

Of course, thanks to Bush's speech tonight setting the Fox schedule back by 20 or so minutes I'm going to miss the season finale of CSI:Miami. Grr. I want to know if Horatio is going to get shot or if they'll miss and hit chickiepoo. I'm guessing it'll be the latter (since that provides all manner of angst for next season - for both H and Eric - plus some good 'if you hadn't been willing to marry her she wouldn't have been there and died' blame from Eric too, so that's my guess. I imagine they'll rerun it at the beginning of next season, but it's a bit of a pain to miss all for a speech that will outline a plan of non-action for immigration.

And there you have it. See? The title didn't lie.
