Just in case anybody's wondering ...

... no matter what the horrible scandal is that Palin committed to make her resign on the Friday before the Fourth of July -- although rumor has it it's a criminal indictment for embezzlement on the way -- this is my favorite political scandal of the year just as long as the end result means Palin leaves politics in shame.

(But I imagine most of you guessed that already about me. Heh.)

I'll be so glad when Project Runway comes back.

So pictures of the final collections for The Fashion Show are up on Bravo's website.

( Cut just in case anybody really cares about being spoiled for this crappy, crappy show. )

For anybody who's interested ...

... I've been going through the Twilight Zone episodes airing today looking for the classics.

2 pm EST: The one where Billy Mumy wishes people into the cornfield
3 pm: The one where the Earth's moving closer to the sun
4:30 pm: The one with the hitchhiker
5 pm: The one where the dying millionaire makes his heirs wear masks
6:30 pm: "My name is Chatty Cathy, and I don't think I like you."
8:30 pm: My absolute favorite, "Time Enough At Last."
9 pm: The "ugly" woman who just had surgery to fix her face.
9:30 pm: The one where people think their neighbors are aliens.
10 pm: "To Serve Man"
10:30 pm: The one where William Shatner sees a gremlin on the wing of the plane.

Apparently they're hitting a lot of the classics tonight. :)

Random things

So I've been growing my hair out again, and it's at that stage that I hate where styling it is a joke and I can't see the nice chin-length bob from here even though my bangs are too long to allow to hang in my eyes and I only need three more inches or so to reach my chin. And yet I still stare at it and whine that it's taking too long, even though if I can hold out until my birthday or so, I'll be fine.

Basically, the only thing keeping me from running out right now and getting a haircut is my lack of money. Which is probably a good thing, considering I'd like my hair back.

I haven't written anything in a week. This is really depressing, considering I've got bunches of stuff I could be working on. Two ficathon assignments, GPW, Heroine Addiction, Chapter and Curse, The Hollow Girl, and then yesterday the phrase "professional invisible friend" popped into my head during a Twilight Zone episode and now it wants to be a story. Go figure.

I'm tempted to pack up and head to my parents' house, but I doubt anything will happen if I go up there other than my mother hounding me about getting a job. And going to the cafe is out of the question. Maybe I'll just go borrow five bucks from my brother so I can get out of here and attempt to squeeze some words out of my brain.

I was pleasantly surprised the other day because at no time did I pimp Merlin to Jess and she's been watching it anyway. Heh.

Also, I find reading other people's first-time reactions to the episodes hilarious. Far too many people are thinking about it waaaaay too much. It's cheesy and anachronistic and stupid, but it's fun as hell once you get into it. Pretty boys! Pretty girls! Pretty (albeit obnoxious) Giles!

I want ice cream. And new headphones to replace the earbuds that stopped working this week. *pouts*

Because I haven't put it up yet ...

Heroine Addiction:

50975 / 100000

June word count total:

13760 / 25000

Year-to-date getyourwordsout total:

90396 / 300000

I'm only just under a third of the way done at the halfway point of the year. That said, I'm happy with my pace even with that. I plan to do NaNoWriMo as always, and even if I don't even crack 200k by the end of the year, I'm not dropping out. I suspect that I won't hit 300k without a lot of work, but no matter whether or not I finish, signing up for getyourwordsout has been one hell of an encouragement so far.

That's kinda awesome.

"Time Enough At Last" is a part of Cable in the Classroom.

Dude, how come my teachers never showed us Twilight Zone episodes?
