I have been SO freaking busy with my fun new job (I'm working part-time for my brother-out-law's company, in addition to all the contract work I was already doing) that I've been essentially absent from here. I'm taking a quick break, though, to post a few little notes:

1) [livejournal.com profile] sogwife rocks. Not only is she Snow Fucking White (a *chicken* followed her home yesterday), but she rescued all my plants from my horrid neglect the other day. She trimmed them, watered them, cleaned them, and set them back in their windowsills. She even did the outside ones. Now to see if I can start treating them better. My house has basically gone to shit the past week while I've been riding my new learning curve (which also involves some NP(roject)E), but today I am trying to whip it back into shape.

2) I like "Heroes" more and more, and "Studio 60" less and less.

3) I forgot to post the funniest line at last week's slam. The guy who won actually had a line in one of his poems about Blackbeard coming back from the dead. The phrase he used that just dissolves me and [livejournal.com profile] someotherguy into giggles, though, was the unfortunate "disembodied corpse". WTF?

4) Worst slogan ever, on the wall of one of our favorite Thai places, Tuk Tuk Thai (a tuk tuk is one of these): "Tuk Tuk Thai: Let us drive you to a good Thai cafe"

Heh. We've got a Thai place in my neck of the woods with a Tuk-Tuk in front of it (though not included in the name.) Every time I see it, I think of Burnout 3.

Snow Fucking White

This formulation makes me smile.

I like "Heroes" more and more, and "Studio 60" less and less.

We couldn't get into "Heroes". [livejournal.com profile] jwg commented the other night that he doesn't mind watching "Studio 60" but that if it went off the air he wouldn't miss it, and I'm inclined to agree.¹ The situations are just not convincingly real, and I don't feel any great affection for any of the characters. Aaron Sorkin has officially disappointed me.


¹Actually, according to today's paper it is going off the air starting on March 5, to resume at an unspecified date later in the season.
