tarotgalWhoa... it's Friday the 13th again :-) Boyfriend's all bummed out (do people still use that expression, or is it just me?) because none of the channels are doing a Friday the 13th movie marathon. Can't say I'm too disappointed as that means not having to watch it with him.
Anyhoo... watched Survivor tonight... gah... had to mute it during Rupert's part. Just tore me up. And the ending had me crying BIGTIME. My mother had cancer, and my boyfriend's mother has had breast cancer twice now, but luckily both are fine now. I've had a few friends' mothers die from cancer, though. I am so glad she left the show and got there in time *sob* Though that challenge looked good- I wonder if they'll use it next time or if they'll do something else?
Then I watched the Apprentice *rolls eyes* I think I watch that only to laugh at the stupid business people. Having lived with a marketing major for 2 years, I both grew to understand and detest the field. I cannot STAND business people. They're, honestly, the stupidest people I've met. So it's nice to see that it's the same on a national level; even when they're on television they're still immoral idiots.
And then I watched ER, and cried some more. Though I knew how it was going to turn out there in the middle, I still cried. My GODS but that's an incredible show. It's episodes like this that manage to still make me feel surprised, just when I think I've seen all ER can show me. I was floored. Absolutely. Not just content, but the way they assembled the scenes and the themes the writers put in there and the way they brought them out slowly, then hard, then softened it up again. *sigh* Fantastic episode. The snow falling during the kiss scene at the end was just my style, too *happy sigh*
Though the HR person... too funny. With his inevitable declaration that everyone was insane and should be fired, I was thinking "Man, you should have seen the place when Mark and Doug and Robert and Peter were still there!" Especially Peter. I missed his exit from the show, basically, so it still feels to me like he should be there.
Oh, and last week- LMAO! about the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered center/wing. Ha ha! Too ironic :-) I love it :-) Poor Robert.
I've been cleaning all day today. Have a maintenance guy coming over tomorrow. It's the yearly filter changing day tomorrow so I want to be sure my place doesn't look horrid. But I also set myself a goal of cleaning for New Year's, and so I made a good dent today. I went through my dresser and threw away about 40 pairs of socks- over 30 of them had holes in them, and the other 10 or so were so ragged that they were about to fall apart at any minute. Threw away some underwear, too (I only recently learned that rule about throwing out underwear every time you buy a new package... and thus I have WAY too much, heehee!) and in the back of one drawer I found an unopened package of underwear. It was like a late Christmas! Or an early V-Day/Lupercalia. Found some bras I bought a year ago with the price tags still on them, too. Man. Feels good to be able to fit all my clothes in my dresser now instead of having them in a pile by my bed... but I currently have *counts* 22 socks without mates. I hope they are hiding in my massive dirty laundry pile. As I've moved all my clean clothes out of my laundry basket now, the next step is to put the dirty clothes *into* it! :-)
And tonight I'm going to tackle the dishes, take out half the trash and recycling, and if I'm still awake, I'm going to take everything out of my coat closet, weed through, and put it all back in nicely. It used to be organized wonderfully- shelves had themes (tissues and paper towels and lightbulbs and sponges on one shelf, tools and instruction manuals on another, heavy things on the floor) But now it's all one HUGE pile- like those tv shows where you open a closet and everything tumbles down? Well, mine looks like that and there was no tumbling... and the door is never, ever closed because the stuff doesn't all fit in.
Ah. I feel SO productive and organized(hah! That's a laugh, I still have crap all over my apartment... I'm SUCH a mess- you should see the size of the dust bunnies I live with... I'm easily the messiest person my friends and family know- and yet, every single video, DVD, CD, and the hundreds of books I own are all neatly organized and categorized... it's spooky how anal I am about some things and not others... I have even done the dishes since mid-December) and I've done SUCH a good job of not doing any actual work today. All hail procratination!!!
