I don’t know why, but that song has been stuck in my head for weeks.

So, Wonderfalls was cancelled after four episodes. FOX continues to prove just how much it s*cks (content edited for family readers). It really was a wonderful show, quirky and irreverent, and terribly funny. However, the quality of television has been sliding ever farther down since the advent of reality television, and I’m not really surprised that it didn’t recognize the gem it had in Wonderfalls. RIP, Jaye, Eric and “Janet.”

Quiz night – third place finish, which is way better than last week’s boring non-placing. I showed my true couch potato stripes last night as I made myself a force to be reckoned with when television trivia is on the agenda. And I was never even a fan of The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Yeah, my life is so boring. What else what else what else? Saw Hellboy last weekend. Good. Better than LoEG and Daredevil, but something was lacking, I just haven’t figured out what. Also bought TONS of yarn and ate LOTS of food with various and sundry friends and babies. Have not done laundry. Have not done taxes. I have been vigilant about going to my krav maga classes – twice a week so far, but I’m going to try to add Friday nights as well. Spent $300 on a new water pump. Read a book. Still working on my knitting projects. Aaaaand, that’s about it.

I’ll try to do more in the future. Until then, have a good Wednesday.

Want! Want! Want!

Al Franken’s new radio show starts tomorrow at noon! Woo!

Check the official (very sad) website for a radio station near you:

Air America Radio

If there is no station in your area, they will also be streaming the show at the above website.

Silverado is a silly movie, but still, way better than Unforgiven.

I bruised my neck at Krav Maga last night, so that it hurt to hold my head up all day.

I can’t remember if Western has an exit off the 10. I’m going to need this information tomorrow.

Borders sucks, ’cause they didn’t have either of the two books I was looking for tonight. I hate having to settle.

Kevin Costner was adorable when he was young.

I believe I’m addicted to LexiBox. Who’s with me??

My cats are the cutest!cats on the planet!

My to do list for tomorrow is fuller than when I’m at work. I fear I will not be able to fit in the new headlight.

I get to see John Saturday night, he’s finally playing right here in town—instead of driving for an hour and a half to see him, he’ll be just five minutes away at the Improv. Yay Improv!

It is still an hour early, but not on the east coast, so, Happy Birthday Allyson!

I am home this morning waiting for workmen to arrive to fix a warped window that wasn’t bothering me in the first place, but was apparently annoying the building owner. Unfortunately, it didn’t occur to me to stock my cabinets with food before this little house arrest I’m under, so I’m verra verra hungry. I probably should’ve known that three cups of coffee, rather than alleviate my hunger, would only make me jittery as well as hungry, but hey, live and learn, right?

In addition to hungry, I’m annoyed at workmen who think “sometime after 11” is an actual measure of time. Technically 6pm is after 11, but if I’m still waiting by then, someone’s gonna be in a world of hurt.

On any other day, I could order food. Oo, delivery, what a concept! Unfortunately, thanks to a cruel twist of fate, my debit card was eaten by an ATM on Saturday, so I must conserve my limited on-hand cash until a) my new card arrives; or b) I can get to a bank to cash a check. Sometimes technology can just bite you in the ass when you least expect it.

I hate days like this, when I should be at work, but I’m not. It’s weird, I know, but even though I have a valid reason to be home, and it’ll probably cost me a perfectly good vacation day, I still feel like I’m playing hooky. I should be enjoying this time off, watching a movie or knitting up a storm – or both. But I’m twisted up with guilt and annoyance at the too-good-to-give-an-accurate-ETA workmen.

I blame the three cups of coffee.
