Breakfast: Leftover hairloom (yum) tomatoes with balsamic vinegar and salt.
Lunch: Heartburn, no doubt. Woo!
I’m a little sad–I was thinking I would have tales of temp hilarity to share by now, but it’s slow going. I took a Word, Excel, Outlook, and typing test last night and it almost broke my brane. It was all Office 03 stuffs, and I guess I have really gotten used to Office 07.
Also enjoying this crazy kitteh, via ICHC. Seriously, every time the cat appeared on screen again, I laughed.
Additionally, I am trying to get into Le New 90210. I talked about it with K for WAI too long last night, and we both concluded that the new kids seem all worldly and jaded, whereas, as she pointed out, the old kids seemed kind of excited by the glamor of the Beverly Hills Lifestyle, or whatever. The adults are the most interesting part to me, and I don’t think that’s just my age showing.
I have a soft spot for 90210, because I started watching it in the eighth grade, abandoned it when my friends started driving, but then watched it from START TO FINISH when I was pregnant with Franny. All ten years. They were showing it every goddam day on F/X, which was amazing. My favorite part is still when Donna gets pushed down the stairs.
This, however, is exciting the shit out of me. They got it up faster than I could torrent it. I am giving myself over to television this fall, wholey and completely.
An update on my neighbor: my chin is up, and I am taking action. I will let you know what happens when it does. All is well. Thanks for the comments.
Darn, Crazy kitteh video is no longer available. What did they do? Cut the cute little kitteh into pieces and have them move forward on a conveyor belt? They yanked it due to cute kitteh abuse?
Glad to hear you have your own kitty situation under control. No kitties should be harmed because of crazy neighbors!
Weird, I can see the video still. Maybe try from I Can Has Cheezburger page?
It are a mystery.
I’m very excited by the show “True Blood” on HBO. I do not have HBO, but I am certain I can find a way to watch it. I have the first episode on my computer but haven’t watched it yet because OH MY GOD. Thick Southern Accents! Vampires! A set up that reminds me of “Wolf Lake!” Vampires dancing in pun-named clubs to decade old Rob Zombie music, with electrical tape over their nips! Vampires! Ham handed comparisons to racism! There is no way this could be anything but awesomely terrible, but I’m afraid it will somehow let me down.
I never watched 90210 and the new series seems bland and over hyped. Maybe the adults will be worth watching?
It IS bland and overhyped, and yet I am enjoying it. A life, I has none.
YES! True Blood. The promo looked meh but the premise is interesting. I will check it out.
My TV has to be really good or absolutely terrible for me to like it. Bland and overhyped? Meh. I’d rather watch ninja cats online.
Hey, have you ever grown black tomatoes? I heard they were meatier and more flavorful than a lot of the red varieties. Thoughts?
I’ve grown black krims. That year all the other tomatoes turned out NOM NOM NOM and those were kind of mealy and not-so-good, but it could be a PNW thing, not sure. I’m not sure about straight up black ones.
I think my favorite is Mr. Stripey! You have to yell it like MR. SPARKLE!
I saw the first episode of Trueblood (I can has HBO) it was pretty lame. Boring and flat, no character development, and Lots of excuses to show people doing the mommy-daddy dance without any real plot movement.
Then again I am biased against shows with half-assed southern backdrops, and shitty misplaced southern accents.
I’ve grown three types of black tomatoes:
(1) asshole is right, black krims are nasty
(2) black plums are really good
(3) black slicers, called maybe black russian? are about the same as the black plums. small for a slicer, though.
Mommy-daddy dance! LOLZ
Hi, I found your blog on this new directory of WordPress Blogs at blackhatbootcamp.com/listofwordpressblogs. I dont know how your blog came up, must have been a typo, i duno. Anyways, I just clicked it and here I am. Your blog looks good. Have a nice day. James.
I thought True Blood was great! You can’t expect huge plot movements in just one show right? I may be biased though, I love urban fantasy series and have heard mutterings in the wind that if this show does well, Anita Blake shows/movie could be closer to reality. That makes me want to do the dance of joy! Heirloom tomatoes, I wish I had some. My tomatoes all stayed green until they rotted. Damn lack of sun! Glad yours had better luck :)
P.S. Fringe, on fox, is fannnnntastic. If you’re into that kind of show.
Ah! I wish that was my tomato. That was a store-bought. My tomatoes are just now turning. It’s been a crap summer for produce here.
You mentioned Mr. Stripey. Thats awesome. Its what my family in law calls their stripped tomato plant. Uncanny. :) Sadly, it never produced, and that made us sad.
Also, I second Anon who says Fringe is fantastic.
Woops! Anon is me. You don’t know me from a hole in the wall of course, but I wasn’t trying to hide :)
I have a problem with the new 90210. I watched the first episode, declared it a pale imitation of the original, and have since planted my butt on the couch every single week to watch it. I can’t decide if I continue to watch it despite–or because of–its total cheesy predictability.
Hmm, this sounds very similar to my problem. I am nitpicking it to death and cannot stop. I have been watching the discussion over on TWoP as well, and I think they are nostalgically viewing the past. There is a lot of “the parents used to look more like parents” and “everyone looks so hip/prettier now.” Personally, I think it’s all clothes and makeup. In fifteen years, this shit is going to look DATED also.
