Hey, ducks, I'm still alive, for those of you who were wondering. (Yeah, I haven't posted in A WHOLE DAY and people are wondering. I am not that fabulous, I'm sure.) Shopping all day yesterday, where I spent an inordinate amount of money and walked away with, besides food, three CDs (Emmylou Harris, A Fine Frenzy, and Celtic Thunder) and Dennis Lehane's The Given Day.

More importantly, though, the super Target at the Clearview Mall (two stories! has a machine thingy to take carts up alongside the escalators!) had ( this horror )

. In case y'all cannot see, that is Target mocking me by plastering big pictures of the PC DVD all over the walls, when we ALL KNOW that PC is not coming out on DVD until December 22. They are MOCKING ME. They want to FEEL MY PAIN AND MY RAGE. See, I had no choice but to spend money to exacerbate those feelings of intense hatred. (Picture from my brand new cell phone! Not that anyone had my old number, but I have a new number now! And a new phone! One that has a camera! And nothing else, just the ability to take pictures and make phone calls.)

And then today I woke up about three hours later than I'd meant to, a.k.a. too late to do my laundry before I had to gallivant off to a "retreat" with Intensive Newcomb, and by retreat, I mean "six hours in a single room at the LBC."

So that is where I have been. And now I'm off to read Titus Andronicus while I try and figure out how to make Tirian look competent.

CBS is putting the entirety of Jericho online. I may never leave the computer again. (Didn't watch the first season, loved the second season. It hit a disturbing number of my kinks at the time.)

Between that, Roswell on Hulu (just tell me there is Michael/Liz somewhere, guys, I am on episode 5), lassiterfics telling me to watch Merlin (which looks fascinating), Young Hercules on Hulu (crack! but highly amusing crack. someday, the rest of HtLJ and XWP will be readily available, I hope), the shows I always watch (The Unit, CSI:NY, NCIS, T:SCC, Bones, Numb3rs, SPN, Eureka), the shows I've just gotten into (Life, Fringe), the shows whose premieres I have not yet seen but which seem to hold potential (My Own Worst Enemy, Crusoe), the shows which I have not yet seen period (Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, the entirety of Buffy, all of which I know but have not yet seen), and the shows that are on my maybe-so, maybe-no list (The Mentalist and Eleventh Hour -- get your act together, CBS, I am BORED. Snap to it! This last eppie of Eleventh Hour had me going, "what the fuck, I thought this was supposed to be science on the edge). Sanctuary has me dubious too, because I keep going, "Sam, honey, what did you do to your hair? Daniel, I remember you being smarter. Oh, wait, you're not Daniel. NEVER MIND. PLEASE TO BE GETTING BRAINS NOW KTHNXBYE") -- no, seriously, I watch a lot of TV. It soothes me.

*cough* As I was saying. I have figured out why Dust 3 is stalled. Wrong POV. Sorry, Susan, I believe this is Tirian's game, and it looks like he's going to be quoting Narnian lit AGAIN. Between him and Peter (who'd be quoting more western canon if I knew more western canon; like synecdochic's JD, his brain is where western canon goes to DIE) I am surprised that any of my words come out.
