And the sun will set for you

Hello all! I didn’t really disappear so much as I’ve been super busy with work and various projects and was out of town for a week visiting the kiddo. Now to play catch up…

I have new hair! It’s now a lovely rich chocolate brown. I’ll try and post pics soon.

The new Linkin Park albums is most excellent. I’m currently obsessed with ‘Bleed it Out’ and ‘Shadow of the Day’ (sooooo good!) Ryan Adams new album, Easy Tiger, is also filled with much awesomeness.

jonathan-togo.com is now open, so go forth and pimp it. It’s not 100% complete, but will be soon. Yes, I do realize that I don’t really need another site, but there weren’t any really good resources out there on him and he rocks, so I couldn’t help myself.

I finally found Season 2 of Special Unit 2, so yay to that! I was getting kind of tired of looking around for it.

Can anyone explain the “CaRWash” ‘ship name for Calleigh and Ryan on CSI: Miami? I just don’t get it. I know where “Ca” and “RW” come into play, but not the “ash” part. It doesn’t make any sense. I don’t really like fused names anyway, except for LoVe because its cute and Logan and Veronica rocked.

The Beckhams scare me. I know their shoot for W Magazine is supposed to be H-O-T but I think the pics are more skanky and creepy than sexy. David actually looks more alien-like than Victoria now. *shudders*

I watched Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon over the weekend and LOVED it. It was just so much fun and very different from the typical “slasher” flick. The lead actor, Nathan Baesel, was wonderful. He has an incredibly natural talent, which is something that I love, love, love to see on film. This is the first thing I’ve ever seen him in and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing him in more stuff.

I love my new dental piece! For those of you not in the know, I have a really bad habit of clenching my teeth together pretty much 24-7 and have cracked a couple of my back teeth because I’ve been doing it for so many years, so my dentist (Dr. Steve Martin-seriously) suggested I get a “night guard” made. I’m so glad that I finally broke down and got one made even though my wallet is now somewhat unhappy and it’s not the prettiest thing ever and I can’t really speak properly with it in, but it’s helping a lot and that’s all that really matters.

People are stupid

I almost got run over on my lunch break by some stupid bitca who apparently couldn’t see the big damned stop sign at the 4-way stop in front of my building. I was starting to turn left out of my building’s parking lot (after stopping at the sign and looking all directions before proceeding) when I noticed that the car that was flying towards the intersection had no intention of stopping, so I slammed on my brakes to avoid the collision and she just flew right on through and had the nerve to honk her horn at me. What the hell? People are so freaking stupid sometimes that it hurts my brain.

Friday Night Lights renewed for second season!!!

Yayness! Friday Night Lights has been renewed for a second season and they’ve ordered a full 22 episodes which makes it even better news. What a great way to start out a Friday morning after a craptastical week. Whee! Seriously, this show is so freaking good it’s not even funny. If you aren’t watching it, you should definitely give it a chance. So many people have misconceptions about this show and they couldn’t be more wrong about it. Yes, it is set in a small town in Texas. Yes, it has a lot of teenagers in it. Yes, it contains a lot of football. But you know what else it’s about? People just like you and me. People who struggle through their everyday lives just like the rest of us. People trying to take care of their families. People who want a better future. People who screw up royally and pay the price for it. Ordinary people. It’s also shot in a really cool and very “real” way and a lot of the show is totally unscripted and that makes it even more special and more realistic than other shows.

Click here for great LJ post by Ellie (nightfive@LJ) containing even more reasons why you should watch the show.

To celebrate this joyous occasion, I bring you pretty FNL picspam!

Red means STOP!

Dear Woman to Couldn’t Be Bothered to Stop at the Red Light This Morning:

In case you weren’t told this before, let me enlighten you. The big boxes with the red, yellow and green colored circles that light up are called traffic lights. The colors indicate what you are to do as you approach them. Green indicates that you may commence driving and pull forward through the light/intersection or turn. Yellow means proceed with caution. Red means STOP. Yes, that’s correct, STOP. Let me spell it for you in case you missed that…S-T-O-P. It means “to prevent from proceeding, acting, operating, continuing, etc.: to stop a speaker; to stop a car.” See? It does not mean that you should continue on through the intersection and try to run over 3 other vehicles just because you drive a ginormous Chevy Suburban that is as large as the 3 vehicles you were attempting to run over. Maybe your vehicle is too large and blocks your view of the traffic lights and other vehicles on the road? If so, maybe you should consider purchasing something a little smaller so that you can see everything a little more clearly. If it’s just the fact that you feel that you deserve to take up more of the road and all other drivers be damned, then perhaps you should do a reality check because we have just as much right to be on the road as you do, smaller vehicle or not.

Sincerely,

Stef

I know I’ve said this before and I’m going to say it again because apparently it hasn’t been seen by enough people yet.

Wipe off the freaking toilet seat for crying out loud!!! Seriously. It’s totally gross. I know that many women hover so as not to have to actually touch their tushes on the toilet seat, but they should at least have the common courtesy to take a quick peek behind them to see if they’ve sprayed, and, if so, to clean up their mess. I don’t know how it is that they manage to miss the giant hole in the toilet entirely and instead spray urine all over the toilet AND not be able to see that they’ve done it and just leave it there for the next person to encounter, but it is REALLY disgusting and they should be swatted with a rolled up newspaper or something.
