fun_like_that

I started to watch the Emmys tonight but I quit an hour in. I don't watch any but maybe one or two shows that were actually nominated (Community is the only sitcom I watch that's not syndicated and in re-runs ad naseum), I really didn't think the opening was that great or cool (seriously, how desperate and pathetic is NBC that the had to play on the premise of another network's hit show? I liked seeing Joel McHale, Tim Gunn and didn't realize Nina Dobrev was in the dance on stage until the end when people were all, "OMG! It's Nina!" and then in was over) and I thought the "comedic" voice overs and Q&A sessions were strained and awkward.

Normally I like awards shows but I guess since I don't have a vested interest in any of the nominated shows or actors it's hard to me to care. And the awkwardness and forced humour in everything exasperated me. Often the jokes in any awards show tread on annoying but tonight they pushed me over the edge. I don't know.

I signed up for a ballroom dancing class to start in September. I hope I like it. Was supposed to take it with a girl from my department but the class filled up before she could get in the one I'm doing so she's doing the one the next day. I don't know if I'm happy or disappointed because sometimes I really enjoy her company and other times I feel like talking over her because I can't stand listening to her. I don't know if that's just a personality thing with me and her or if it's where I am right now in my head. I don't like feeling like that, regardless.

I'm still struggling. I thought I was doing better, and I am when it comes to the desolate feelings, but now I'm passing into more frustrated/angry feelings and then not feeling anything at all. The only place I feel like I'm on an even keel is at work and that's because a) I don't want to lose my shit there and b) I don't have any time to. I guess that's a good thing?

Doing a little better emotionally this week, I think. Sort of. I think I'm back to not feeling anything again. I have an exercise I have to complete for my next meeting with the therapist on Tuesday and I've been trying to think about it for the past two weeks. Evaluating my life is hard.

I'm trying to keep some stuff on my plate right now. I have a movie date Tuesday and Friday I'm going out with the girls from work. I'll see if Saturday the group will go out to Pirhana 3d.

I haven't posted since I've been back from New York. Finally got home around 2am Thursday morning. I got sick in the last couple days of our trip, I'm thinking from all the little shits on the subway who don't COVER THEIR MOUTHS WHEN THEY COUGH. UGH. Alisha got sick, too, and as far as I know she's still laid up with it as she didn't get to the going away party for a friend on Friday. I only stayed for a little bit as it was because my cold was all up in my brain. I'm feeling better now but still booger-y and cough-y and whatnot.

Got a second degree sunburn on one arm also, which was fun. That was even with 70 sunblock, but I guess I wasn't consistent with it. Right now it's a gross, cracked mess and is all scrunchy and kinda hurts when I lift my arm. FUN.

Took lots of photos in the first few days but then I got sick of carrying my big camera around and the little one had focusing problems so I let Alisha and Todd take over on that front. I haven't even looked at the ones I took yet.

I loved my time in New York, although I was definitely happy to come home after spending a solid week with two other people with very little alone time. Now that I'm done with that trip it's time for me to start thinking about LIFE things, about where I want to go with things, if I want to move, if I want to change careers and, if so, to what, etc. It's a bit daunting and was before the trip but moreso now because I realized on the trip that I feel as though I have no passion for anything. I don't know how to explain it. It's something I'll have to talk to my therapist about.

I'm sorry my RL has been full of quasi-emoness of late. I don't even know.

Attention New Yorkers on my Flist!! I'm going to be in the city starting on the 21st and I'm SO EXCITED! Perhaps there could be a meetup or dinner or something arranged?

I'm realizing now that where we're staying is going to be a bit of a hinderance to us but not too much of one, I hope. It's going to be a LOOOOOONG trek from the Newark airport all the way over to Queens (which I found out thanks to a website linked to me by itsthedetails. I kind of wish now that we HAD chosen a hotel in New Jersey but I don't know if it really would have mattered much in the long run. Once we get into the city or where we're going every day we won't care, I don't think.

We fly in on the 21st and I'm sure that once we get there on Wednesday we'll venture out a bit in the neighbourhood but I don't think we'll be doing anything too strenuous or touristy since it'll take us a bit to get to the hotel and nerves may be frayed. But Thursday? Watch out NYC! I want to shop, shop, shop. And then shop some more! We want to go to the Moma and the Museum of American History (pardon me if I'm butchering the names), maybe the Bronx zoo.

Can anyone suggest some good vintage places or funky clothing stores in the city that I should check out? Or some antique shops or just quirky things stores?

Know what's one of the worst things in the world? The hiccups. Especially the ones that last for more than a couple minutes and then you start to fear they'll never go away and you'll end up in the Guiness Book of World Records as having the longest hiccups ever.

The roofing fucked up our satellite dishes (for some reason we have two?) so now my feed keeps cutting out in sound and it's really pixelated. So I've watched the Rifftrax for Twilight and New Moon twice now. Thankfully it's Sunday and there's nothing on. Well, True Blood.

Oh, so many shows on right now. I tuned in for One Tree Hill (why, oh why?) and Gossip Girl (once again it has sucked me in). I'll be posting caps for Gossip Girl soon (but it's not going to be a weekly thing. I just really wanted caps from the episode) and I have the Melrose Place caps ready to go but I might wait and post them tomorrow or the next day with the caps from tomorrow's ep.

So now we've reached the end of our season 2 journey with True Blood. I have to say, I'm kind of glad it's over. I always get that way at the end of the season because I need some time to reflect on everything that's happened, formulate some theories, put pieces together and get excited for it again. So, see you in a year, I guess?

Holy shit! Two days before we leave for SPN Van Con!

I'm rewatching er right now, from the beginning. Well, the first two seasons, at least, since that's what I have. And damn, was this show always awesome. Even in the later years when it was getting really repetitive I loved it.

Only a little over two weeks before the SPN VanCon. Exciting stuff. I doubt it'll happen but if I could catch a glimpse of New Moon filming that would be awesome. I'd like to see RPattz's hair in technicolour. I can now look forward to the planning and excitement of the event because I also have a plan for my car. I wasn't sure what the hell I was going to do with it when I was in Vancouver but my friend is taking it for those days which works out well for both of us AND I don't have to pay for parking! Sweet!

I found out I'm spending Christmas alone this year, which sucks on the one hand but on the other I'm... okay with it? I mean, I hate Christmas but it's still one of those times you're supposed to be around people, right? So I don't know what I'm doing yet. I can't go HOME home because it's a) a shitty time to travel, b) too expensive, c) way too unpredictable with the weather and d) I don't want to RUSH (I'd have to fly home Christmas Day or Boxing Day). I AM going home in March/April for 10 days or so and that will be MUCH better. A bit warmer and easier. AND if I went home for Christmas I'd miss Boxing day out here! Back home everything's closed on the 26th so there are no good sales. HERE you line up at 4:30am to get a dvd player for $10 or whatever. SA-WEET!

There are a lot of parts of the last two seasons of Buffy that I'm understanding better and tolerating more than I did the first time around but FUCK I STILL HATE KENNEDY. She's UNBEARABLE! I'm sure the actress is a delightful person but the way she played Kennedy makes me want to claw my eyes out!

I get to go to the rodeo on Thursday. I am so excited.

I really need to get on finishing my Big Bang. Yeah, I know. I'm lamesauce like that.

I finally hooked the Edward Cullen key chain I got for my birthday onto my keys. Let's hope associating something Edward Cullen related with my car again won't spell disaster. There's a strong possibility I might name my car DanRad.

Work drama is filled with drama. I don't even know where to start so I won't.

I had THE MOST bizzare dream on Saturday morning that nagged me throughout the day because I couldn't remember. I suddenly did that night when we went to see Harry Potter again. I ended up blurting it out loud to my friends and none too quietly, either. I don't know if anyone really heard but if they did I doubt they wanted me to go into detail about it. It was... weird. And I'm not even sure I can speak about it on LJ but I'm not sure if it's due to common decency or to save myself some potential embarrassment. Maybe I'll google dream meanings first...

Someday I'll have more important things to say. Today is not that day.

It feels like there's next to nothing happening with my life right now but I've been SO BUSY!

--> Work is insane. Period. People are starting to get heavy into vacation so when one of us is away it gets fucking crazy. It's not enough to make me want to tear my hair out but it's enough to keep us going steady with regular work that we can't do our features. Which is not good for our budgets.

--> Wednesday was NOT a good day. I was in SO MUCH PAIN after physio and everything with the car and insurance was being so shitty that I cried a lot that day.

--> I went to Calgary to visit estei on Saturday and to go to the gay rodeo but it didn't work out. I set out way too soon on such a long trip to a city with far more drivers than I'm used to. I did okay the first time I went up, managed to keep calm, but that was before getting rear ended totaled my car. So this time I was insanely jittery. Once I got into the city and got lost I panicked and freaked and it was bad. So the last thing I wanted to do was drive MORE to a rodeo.

Thank GOD for estei. If she weren't amazing with directions and so patient with me and willing to help out a freaked out person I would STILL be driving around Calgary, I'm sure.

--> Have finalized the payout for my car so I have been trying to decide on a new vehicle. I'm pretty sure I'm going with a Toyota Matrix. Part of me is saying that maybe I should shop around a little to different dealerships this go around but I really don't have the luxury of time right now. The rental is supposed to be back by Thursday at 11:59pm. I can keep it longer but because the insurance has been settled I have to pay out of pocket. Only $25/day but still. It'll add up.

So I think I'll go with the Matrix. Right now I'm just waiting for my boss, who is a dragon slayer when it comes to buying cars, to come with me to see if we can't wheedle them down a bit in price or features or something. Although I feel kind of bad because my sales person is super nice. I don't know. I'm not one of those people that can haggle. I'll see what happens, I guess.

--> Have an appointment with a lawyer on Thursday to discuss the accident. The other guy's insurance is already discussing settlement. So I don't even know what to think about all that.

--> I watched a movie by accident tonight and it was pretty much awesome. Poor Boy's Game is like a Canadian American History X, basically. It was filmed in Halifax, NS starred Danny Glover and a hot, HOT guy named Rossif Sutherland. HOT.

--> Canada Day on Wednesday. I get a day off and will go see the fireworks. This is an ace day in my books.

Someday I'll be able to finish my Big Bang edits (Betas you'll be getting it... soon-ish!) and make icons. *facepalm*

--> I don't care, I like the song and I love this video for it.
