people do some weird things in the name of fandom. i just saw a green honda element in the parking garage here at work, with a licence plate that says reads: ELPHABA. and it wasn't a virginia plate (vanity plates are free in VA). i won't even put a bumper sticker on my car. i guess that's leftover training from my dad. no bumper stickers or rearview mirror decorations allowed.

some of you may have already seen this, but it's freakin' adorable. go to HEMA's (dutch department store) website, let the page load and then sit back and watch. hee.

circles, pears, or poppies?

hmm.

one of my favorite things to do lately is to shop by color at etsy. it's s'pretty.

weiner poopie, weiner poopie, weiner poopie.

still funny.

stolen from amysusanne...

Step 1. Put your playlist on random.
Step 2. Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing. (You can skip songs that are instrumental.)
Step 3. Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
No Googling! That's what they call cheating, fool.

i skipped the songs that had the title in the first line. and i got like, five repeats. shuffle sucks.

1. i woke up with the power out, not really somethin' to shout about
2. the yellow walls are lined with portraits and i've got my new red fetching leather jacket

11. you want something corny? you got it

25. maybe they come by land, maybe they come by sea

heh, i forgot to post his here...
my friend's daughter got this my-size dora doll for christmas. she's 34" tall and she's terrifying. ( sweet dreams, ya'll. )

::shudder::

my brother gave me a best buy gift card for christmas, so i just ordered all five seasons of six feet under. i could've gotten the mega-boxed-set for $250 (i know it's cheaper at amazon, but this was a best buy gift card and i'm broke), or each season separately for $20 each. the gift card paid for about half of that. YAY!

oh, and i ordered them around noon today, and i've already gotten the shipment email. rock on, best buy. rock on.

an "age-defying" purse? does it contain alpha hydroxy acids?

i got a burst of energy an hour ago and used up some of the leftover cookie ingredients. my coworkers hate me right now. ::evil laugh:: it's not my fault they have no willpower.

i don't have one of those tivos where you can record on one channel and watch another...but somehow that happened tonight. i had been watching a DVD when i saw the record light come on, so i switched the receiver from DVD to cable because i forgot what i was recording. the shrek christmas thing was on TNT, but it was recording girls next door on E!. i don't know how that happened. [~~ghosts~~]

now i need to step away from the internet. i'm coveting ridiculously priced purses that i couldn't possibly afford. come back to the real world, nicole.

i bought the dvd of the muppet christmas carol to replace my VHS. w'hoo!

i guess i should say something else, but there's not much going on at the moment. work's busy. christmas will be boring. i have to stay here, but 96% of my family will be in florida. i'm trying not to think about how shitty that's going to be. i am going to my aunt's house, but still. not the same. there will probably be three or four of us there.

the company i work for has been sold. there may or may not be changes coming, but i'm really not worried. it's a wait-and-see kind of situation.

muppet bloopers are freakin' adorable.

i don't know if you can see that, but i drive by this house in georgetown every night on my way home. they have a big, beautiful bay window, and bought a big, beautiful christmas tree to display in the window. and then they strung the lights only on the side of the tree that faces into their living room. LAZY.

1. wait...so now that night shift is over, i have to watch these asshats on regular GH? i stopped watching that crapfest after the second episode. what happened to the alternate universe thing? no crossovers? riiight. your writing sucks, so you think you're going to distract me by introducing a bunch of new characters. i see what you did there.

2. a quick search of the tv listings tells me that no one is airing teen witch. oh come on, people. don't make me buy it.

3. re: bionic woman: um...what she said. minus the huge nerd part and the last paragraph. also, the lead actress's resemblance to ione skye distracts me. i'm borderline obsessed with how much she reminds me of her. i'll probably keep watching, though.

4. done with prison break. i don't know what happened there, but this season's opener bored me so much that i deleted the next two episodes from my tivo. whatever, i'll catch up someday if i really feel like it.

5. i don't know if i can stick with heroes. i didn't watch the first season, so i'm understandably lost right now. plus, no kristen bell yet. it's boring me. is it shallow of me to say that i'm sick of subtitles?

6. please move house to 8:00.

one of the government secrets in chuck's head: "oceanic flight 815 was shot down...."

har-har.

my favorite one.

and i would also very much like for my fucking eye to stop fucking twitching. fuck.

i've had the most relaxing, boring weekend. it was great. we lounged around and did a whole lotta nothin'.


i needed a break, that's for sure.

why couldn't they have just used a smaller bottle? i feel sort-of ripped off. :-p
