Am currently eating frozen Cool Whip Free right out of the tub. Granted, it's the last of it, but still.

Sometimes I wonder if I don't actually want Tivo with every fiber of my being, because I'm just so much less inclined to sit and watch something I've taped. Like, I watched CSI live last week, and it was fine. But I had to tape it tonight, and now, I just don't have the energy to watch it. I don't even have to rewind the tape; the VCR does it automatically. All I have to do is sit down and hit 'play,' and I'm just eh.

I accidentally read spoilers for the season premiere of BSG, which isn't even until October. Accidentally, in that I clicked about four seperate links to do so. My icon? Still applies.

Dear Anorexic Girl Wot Ran on the Treadmill Next to Me Today:

That was a good, solid forty-five (45) minutes of running you did there. Plus, you look a wee bit thin. I think maybe you should take a break. Seriously, you're kind of making my soul hurt right now.

Sigh.

Class, writing, TV, class, writing, TV, writing writing, class. Read the Iliad. Writing class writing TV. And we come to the close of another week. I'm very excited to see how my AD episode fares tomorrow. I'm happy with how it's working out so far, and I'm looking forward to workshopping it, and that's not the most common occurance in the world. Seriously though, we had feature writing today, and two of the folk who turned in revision treatments today just got eviscerated by the prof. It was painful. People were having a hard time making eye contact (like, people who weren't even being critiqued today). We all stood around outside afterwards and talked about how doubleplusunfun that had been. That was the first really awful critique we'd had here, and it was just...depressing. So we're glad we get to finish the week with sitcoms and not the woeangst of tonight's class.

I want to be Cate Blanchett when I grow up.

Oh my God, the TWoP Pixel Challenge this week made me laugh so hard I cried. The Amazing Face! OMG, so awesome.

So, I missed 24 tonight, because Laura was over hanging out and it was kind of rude of me to even think, "Could you leave so I can watch TV?" let alone say it, so I'll have to download it sometime this week. My dad already told me it was "shocking," though, which is as much as I want to know. So...spoiler warnings? I generally like to be unspoiled, even for sucky crap like Lost lately, but for 24? I find it kind of a spoiler just hearing that it aired, honestly.

I'm kind of disturbed by the fact that when I filled up my Jello container to soak before washing it, it filled up with foam. What is foaming? Why does it do that? I had this moment of, "My God, it's solidified candied soap." Yes.

Death is Not An Option:

a) 90 degrees and 100% humidity
b) 110 degrees and 0% humidity

Today, the fates chose a) for me, and I was most displeased. One shouldn't have to wring oneself out when returning home. More awesomely, I decided to go for a long walk this morning after weeks of not walking. I waited until the onset of summer, even though it's been perfectly cool and lovely up until about three days ago. It was like walking through a giant humidifier, except without the vaguely medicinal scent. The only nice thing is that, with the sudden heat and moisture, EVERYTHING in Austin has started to bloom and grow, and one particular neighborhood smelled of honeysuckle, which is always good times.

It makes me sad to walk by all these lovely, quiet neighborhoods and much prettier apartment complexes, so close to my own. It's not that where I live is bad, or that my apartment complex is ugly, but just a few blocks south of me are hills and trees and little brick buildings, whereas I live next to a shopping center, and we have plastic siding.

Someday I want a pet who also has a pet.
