Put your hand down, youngin'. This is not for you.
1. I am so grumpy it's almost laughable. Like, the kind of grumpy where you want to start kicking inanimate objects just for existing. Oh, period hormones, what fun. Also: it's warm & stuffy in here, and people/kids keep walking past my open back door, talking & yelling & laughing & letting their stupid cigarette smoke waft into my living room, and I'm like, "YOUR FRIVOLITY IS UNACCEPTABLE. GO AWAY."
Okay, so it's not quite that bad, but I am irritable. I'm just so tired of the heat, ugh. I wish I had air conditioning.
2. On a more positive note, I'm like a bona fide chef now.
All right, so the crust was bought ready-made & all I had to do was add sauce & cheese before tossing it in the oven for five minutes, BUT STILL. I felt accomplished. Heh. Sometime soon, if I'm feeling UBER ambitious, I might try making my own pesto sauce instead so I can avoid the reflux-inducing tomato. It was good though (I ate the whole thing in one sitting, haha), so whatever.
As for the crust, it unfortunately had eggs, yeast, and corn starch in it, but it *was* gluten/wheat-free, so hey. I think that eventually, once I have the money, I'd like to just buy a bread maker for stuff like this, but that's not gonna happen for a while. At least in the meantime I finally found a good tasting gluten-free sandwich bread (Udi's), thank God. It's not free of everything I'm supposed to be avoiding either, but again, work in progress. And I have plans with a friend to visit Trader Joe's on Wednesday, too, so maybe I'll find new things to try there that don't contain any no-no ingredients. All of this would be so much easier though if I actually felt comfortable with cooking for real, especially when it comes to preparing things with meat. Hopefully I'll get better at that.
3. I finished season 3 of FNL yesterday (there were only 13 eps that year) & already have season 4 waiting on hold for me at the library now. Woo & hoo. They're also holding The Shining for me, which I felt inspired to rewatch after mentioning it to one of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ladysophiekitty's flistmates the other day. I haven't seen it in a few years, so that should be fun. It was filmed here in Oregon, too, so it gets extra points there. Heh. (As if it needs extra points. Hello, classic.)
Re: FNL, obviously I'm enjoying it. Eric & Tami are just amazing, and I might be a little in love with both of them, particularly Eric. He is crazy amounts of perfect & adorable. And so is she, for sure, but for once I'm actually crushing harder on the male lead than the female. ~WTF~, I know. Hee. Seriously though, they are the best, and I ship it about as hard as a scurvy-ridden Sea Captain.
Other thoughts:
-Lyla won me over for kicking Tim out of her car, haha. And I LOVE Tim, so that's saying a lot. But I so would've done the same thing; ergo, now we're bonded. Heh.
-I want to hang out & become besties with Tyra, her sister, and Landry. Seriously. You know that would be some goodtimes shit right there.
-Riggins damn near made me cry when he went back to the field & left his shoes behind. I just! Gah. I don't even care about football, either. But this show, man. It does things to you.
-The scene where J.D.'s dad went batshit on him was a little hard for me to watch, because it brought up a particularly bad memory of my own father, but that just made me appreciate it all the more.
-10,003rd reason to love Tyra:
"Two years ago, I was afraid of wanting anything. I figured wanting would lead to trying, and trying would lead to failure. But now I find I can’t stop wanting. I wanna fly somewhere in first class. I wanna travel to Europe on a business trip. I wanna get invited to the White House. I wanna learn about the world. I wanna surprise myself. I wanna be important. I wanna be the best person I can be. I wanna define myself instead of having others define me. I wanna win and have people be happy for me. I wanna lose and get over it. I wanna not be afraid of the unknown. I wanna grow up to be generous and big hearted, the way that people have been with me. I want an interesting and surprising life. It’s not that I think I’m gonna get all these things. I just want the possibility of getting them."
I just adore her. And this show.
4. I have orientation tomorrow morning, but I think all it involves is filling out some paperwork, so I assume it won't take long. I'm glad my actual first day isn't until Friday. I still have all that laundry I want to do, but honestly, my main objective between now & then is as much sitting around on my ass as possible. Gotta get it while the gettin's good.
5. Rizzoli & Isles tonight, y'all. Yayyy. And speaking of TNT, I've somehow found myself getting into Leverage, which amuses me because it's such a ridiculous show. But it's entertaining. What can ya do. It's especially fun for me because of it being filmed in my city, so the whole time I can play the "hey, what street is that" game with myself. Heh.
And that's it for now. For my Vid of the Day, here's one by bumcrackmosh182 about Eric, Tami, Julie, & Matt:
