Wasting time: it's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it

This is how you know you're out of shape, folks: you jog in place for ten minutes on Monday night and are still sore on Friday. You'd think walking everyday would matter, but apparently not. I think that's probably a sign that I need to work out more often, huh? Yeah, thought so.

And while I'm being random:

-Ladies Figure Skating last night: ( Pretty good, y/y? )

-I still have a cold, and my head & ears hurt, but I'm feeling less mopey today. My mom never called my sister and never called me back either after Wednesday night, even though she's been talking to my grandma, so that pretty much says it all (bear in mind I not only told her about the text messages, but also about the creepy "cop a feel" hugs, etc). Why did I sit around worrying about her when she obviously cares so little about us? I mean, seriously. Also, remember how I said I figured her "okay-ness" meant she was staying with him? Turns out I was right. Nanny says Mom told her she thinks Joe just said what he did to "make her mad." Yeah, 'cause that makes sense. Except that it doesn't. Sorry Mom, this is effed up no matter how you look at it, but rock on with your denial. As for me, this is where I get off the Dysfunction Train, thanks.

Oh, and in other (not really) hilarious news: Mom also told her she'd never had a problem with pain pills before this. Excuse me for a second while I CRACK UP. I guess my grandma got really mad at her for that. It's just a good thing I wasn't talking to her at the time or my head might've exploded. And I like my head much better in its non-exploded state, so I'm gonna be grateful for that.

-Tonight I started what looks like will be a frakkin' epic picspam project, inspired by nnaylime's recent awesome post comparing Buffy to BSG. I'd been noticing for a long time certain similarities between my different fandoms--not to mention the fact that so much of my flist seems to be in love with the same shows just in general--and had wanted to post about that anyway, and then the above post really made me want to do it & tonight I thought of it again & decided it'd be fun to try. So, expect a post from me in the next day or two making up ridiculous comparisons between the following shows (excluding of course any comparisons already covered by the post noted above): X-Files, Bones, Buffy, Angel, Dollhouse, & Battlestar Galactica. Oh yes, all of them. You see now why it's going to be epic?

-Because "wasting time" is the theme of the evening, how about I steal a survey from careyleah? ( You know I love me some surveys )

-Vid of the Day. With all my talk of figure skating lately, I thought it'd be appropriate to share this clip with you guys from one of my favorite shows (Infomania). For those who have been paying attention, a good portion of the mainstream media of late has been SUPER CONCERNED with Weir's flamey fabulousness, which is dealt with hilariously in this vid. LOVE THIS GUY:
