Ten things that I am currently addicted to:

1. Pepsi
2. Cheetos (Okay, those two are gimmes.)
3. Clips of Christian and Olli doing pretty much anything together.
4. Top Chef. Even with the douchebags.
5. Cracked.com lists
6. Never Mind The Buzzcocks
7. The "Best of the '80s" channel on Yahoo Launchcast (although admittedly that's novel-related)
8. Panera (even though I haven't been able to go for weeks thanks to being too broke)
9. fandomsecrets
10. Every version of mahjongg solitaire I stumble upon on the web.

Notice "writing" isn't on the list? *sigh* I'm working on it right now, I swear.

YAY.

I've been so fried the past couple of weeks that I've felt guilty about not getting anything written on the novel lately. But I got a little bit done today, so hey, there's that.

Tomorrow I'm going to pack up my stuff and walk over to the cafe at the gas station outside of town to see if it works as a cheap, less gas-wasting place to write. (It doesn't have wireless and it's at a freaking gas station, otherwise I would have already gone there. But my aunt and uncle said the food's good, so. *shrugs*)

And how are you today?

I'm at Panera. I'm getting back into the swing of things with my novel. And then I'm going to go grocery shopping for the first time in two weeks. And then tonight there is new SPN and Step It Up And Dance.

I'm AWESOME.

Except for you, Jared and Jensen.

So the Chicago Tribune is doing a poll to determine the Best TV Character here. I was clicking through the photo gallery for each nominee and got to Dexter Morgan, whose description has apparently been swapped out with Morgan from Chuck.

However, read this:

DEXTER MORGAN

Actor: Joshua Gomez
Show: Chuck
Network: ABC
Why he's the best character: Uber-nerdy Morgan always says the wrong thing, but at the right time for maximum laughs. He’s a creepy goof around women but lovably loyal to best bro Chuck.

You know, except for that last bit, that's almost accurate. Heh.

Tales in grocery shopping:

-- I spent sixty-five bucks today on food which will hopefully last me for the next two weeks or so. Which was actually less than I thought I'd spend, especially considering that I spontaneously decided in the Asian food aisle that I wanted to try to make my mom's yummy beef chow mein recipe to take to work with me.

-- So yeah, since I don't have the recipe, I called my mom to check and see what I had to buy and fortunately found out she had an extra London broil I could use which, YAY.

-- We also got talking about my parents going away this weekend and how my brother and I are supposed to take care of the cats and whatnot, and then I said to my mother that I was probably going to end up going up there to make him at least one meal this weekend, if only because, as I put it, "Bryan's going to spend the entire weekend alone in his room with Guitar Hero, a big bag of cheese curls, and a freezer pack of Pepsi."

Three guesses as to what I found lying at his feet when I went up to his room to say hi when I stopped up to get the London broil, and the first two guesses don't count. HEEEEEE.

As I said to him, though, it's not like I have room to talk with a giant bag of crunchy Cheetos and a two-liter of Pepsi always sitting next to my computer desk. :)

-- Did I mention I have GROCERIES? Grocery shopping is SO my favorite chore ever. I love wandering around looking at stuff and going, "Huh, I wonder what that tastes like. Ooo! What are those? *scampers off*" (Did you know that they have peanut butter with white chocolate? I didn't buy it or anything, but now I really want to try it.)

-- NEW SPN IN AN HOUR WOOHOO! \O/

(Okay, so that doesn't have anything to go with grocery shopping. STILL.)

EDIT: Okay, rewatching the episode of Top Chef where Lisa's bitching about not wanting to make a Polish sausage, I realized why her complaints and description of it bug me -- because she's not describing a REAL Polish sausage, which is awesome, she's describing the giant circular hot dog Hillshire Farms calls a Polish sausage, which is a travesty wrought unto mankind by something made of pure evil.

Running commentary on tonight's ...
