apocalypsos1. Premieres of my shows are this week! *squeals*
2. I need to go into the spare room and clear out all the crap. That includes taking down the string light hooks on the walls, taking out what few pieces of furniture are in there, and finding a place to stick the old carpet that's in there now. The first thing I'm going to do when I have the cash to start working on the redecorating (overtime, ho!) is putting in a new damn carpet. And I'm going to keep the damn bathroom closed so the cat doesn't go tramping cat litter into the room.
2a. Speaking of redecorating the spare room, I have the insane urge to save up and buy a flatscreen for it. Well, Christmas IS rolling around. It's not like the damn things won't be on sale. (I suppose I could ask my parents for it, but I think I'd feel guilty asking for something that expensive.)
3. I can't believe I have to go to work tomorrow night. It feels like I didn't even get a weekend. *sigh*
4. I've been watching the Ugly Betty marathon on and off today, and you know what I want for this season? I want Alexis to find a guy or girl who wants her for HER. Who's not using her, who's not dating her as a joke, who knows she used to be a guy and thinks that her becoming a woman is awesome.
5. I'm antsy about the whole college thing right now. I'm not so much worried about paying for it right now -- it's only going to be a few hundred bucks for a couple of classes, so even if I can't get financial aid or tuition reimbursment at work, I should still be able to cover it -- as I am that the admissions office will take one look at my college transcripts and laugh at me. What? I'm being paranoid, okay? I know this will in all likelihood end up with me making an LJ post saying, "Homg, I'm a college student again! *flailyhands*," but since nearly everything I've done in the past few years has ended pretty badly, my hopes are, as usual, pretty freaking low.
6. The newest Project Runway contestant is named Sweet P? *chokegiggles*
7. Oh, goody, looks like Heroes wank is on clairvoyant_wank and headed straight for FW. I feel weird about the whole Kristen Bell thing. I mean, I like her fine. She's not a dreadful actress or anything. And from what I've read from the role, it's really not any more or less connected to the Heroes than anybody else.
I just ... *sigh* Okay, here's the thing. My mom does this thing where she suggests I do things over and over and OVER again. Like, when I say I want a new job, she always says, "Oh, why don't you try that factory you used to work at?" Never mind that I hated working there, and that it made me sick. Okay, I could try for an office job there, but at the same time, the more she mentions it to me and throws it in my face, the more I want to avoid it like the plague and go work for McDonald's or something instead just to spite her.
See what I'm getting at?
I mean, there are other new characters coming onto the show. David Anders is going to be Hiro's mentor. Nichelle Nichols is going to be on. There's a pair of Hispanic fraternal twin characters who are coming onto the show who look really interesting. But who are we hearing about? Kristen, Kristen, Kristen, over and over and OVER again. I don't think she's a publicity whore like the wankers are claiming. But it really irritates that once again the hot young blonde is getting all the attention, because it's not exactly like it's the first time it's happened in the Heroes advertising campaigns. And it's really making me sick and tired of seeing her at all, so I'm coming into her entrance on the show saddled with a bias against her, which bugs the pants off me.

Date: 2007-09-23 01:24 am (UTC)Ahaha, were you watching the Ugly Betty marathon today? Me, too! ;)

Date: 2007-09-23 01:40 am (UTC)And Dania Ramirez is just as hot. (If not hotter. Hi, my bisexual brain parts like brunette girls. *swoons*)
Oh, man, YES. It's funny, 'cause last night at work I said to somebody, "I'm going to go home and curl up in bed and watch the first TV show marathon I can find." Ugly Betty marathon! SCORE. \o/
Just what I needed -- reminders of why I love Justin and Betty and Hilda (my current favorite TV mom) and Henry and Alexis and Daniel and Claire and Wilhelmina and Marc and Amanda and ... *hyperventilates* Okay, fine, EVERYBODY.

Date: 2007-09-23 02:38 am (UTC)I know! I was just thinking to myself, "I need to catch up on Ugly Betty before it comes back on" and lo! It was like a gift from the gods.
I also think it would be lovely if Alexis found somebody. :) (I've also wondered what Alexis's relationships were like when he was Alex. I mean, he canonically dated girls when he was still a guy, and YET...)

Date: 2007-09-23 02:58 am (UTC)I so forgot how much I missed the gang at Mode. And how giddy I got when Marc hugged Wilhelmina. And how hard I cry every time I watch Betty tell Hilda about Santos in the finale.
I really wouldn't mind if Rebecca Gayheart's character came back at ALL. She was lovely, and sensible, and adventurous, and apparently had no problem with Alex being Alexis now. :) Alexis needs someone to like her for once, damn it. (I'd think the dating-girls thing was the same sort of cover that playing football in the park with Bradford would have been, but I'm betting on bi myself.)
