So, I kind of felt like taking a small lj hiatus over the last few days, but it turns out that time passes really slowly when you're not working & have next to no social life. Hence, two or three days ends up feeling more like five. Meanwhile other people go weeks without showing up. Whatever though, I want to update now, so I'm going to.

This is gonna be a random one. (When is it not?)

-Hulu has season 2 of Arrested Development up for free right now, and I've slowly but surely been continuing my rewatch. Behold, the cracky results:

( I'm gonna forever laugh at this Bones scene, now )

-As planned, I bought season 2 of FNL the other night, along with a smoothie. (mmm, smoothies) On a sidenote, there was a nice sunset while I was walking up there, and it gave me the idea of maybe buying some new paints. I've only been doing pastel & charcoal stuff for a while; it might be good to try some painting again. We'll see though. Oils are a pain in the ass to clean up.

Anyway, season 2 was only 15 eps long (because of the 2008 Writer's Strike), so I finished it in the span of two evenings.[/professional marathon champ] ( As always, I have some observations )

-I've been playing a lot of online games this week. Text Twist, Addiction Solitaire, and so on. Guess who can type up to 110 wpm with 94-96% accuracy? Oh, yes, that would be me. At least on TyperShark, anyway. Heh. BOOYAH.

-I missed my appointment with the naturopath again. Fail. Now I have to wait until Aug. 9th. Sigh.

-I'm still working on my BSG rewatch recap for the finale, but I decided to split it into more than one entry. That way it's not so picture heavy. As a bonus, that means I'm ready to post the first portion now.

Look at it like an opportunity to join the rewatch…without actually having to rewatch. Heh. Tastes great; less filling!

And that's it for now! The second half should come relatively soon. Hope y'all enjoyed. I haven't watched SYTYCD yet tonight, so I'll talk about that later.

For my Vid of the Day, here's a fun & sweetly sentimental tribute to the cast & characters of BSG by Sczep84. This one makes me smile. I love these frakkers so much.

-So, guess what I did? Took a nap on Tuesday & slept through my doctor's appointment, that's what. Go, team! I need to stop doing that. Last night I managed to actually sleep at a semi-normal time (well, 6:30 am to 11:30 am. Better than noon to night!), but then I took a nap around four something & didn't wake back up until close to midnight.

-Before my nap, I spent the afternoon with crabbytreehouse. I'd been craving breakfast food hardcore lately (thanks a lot, Food Network), so we walked to Shari's & grabbed something to eat, then came back to my apartment & chatted for a while. I had orange juice, which is a no-no per my acid reflux, but God, whatever--sometimes I just want some juice, stomach! Deal with it!

-Bones isn't having its Fall premiere until Nov. 3rd, y'all. I'm having X-Files flashbacks. Hopefully this means ( spoiler for finale )

-I'm having one of those times when I don't know what I'm feeling -- like when you go to pick a "mood" for your lj entry & just sit there at a loss, like, "What IS my mood?" I think there's some sadness in there, but I don't know why. I'm not sure if it's my uncle's death, the email my sister sent, being reminded of my friends from last year while talking to Deiva today, or what. There's some aimless nervousness in there too, which might be over worrying about getting a job I won't hate, or even simply from my GAD & influenced by nothing-type shit like "Oh, I still need to do laundry. And I'd better call my aunt again, since I said I would in my message. And I need to finish my fic, already. And my trash is full. And and and…"--you get the idea. Sigh, whatever. I'm just gonna try to let it be. Parts of me DON'T feel sad & nervous, but I guess that's okay? Moods can be complicated? And I don't need to "figure out" & "fix" the parts that are feeling bad, because sometimes it's OKAY to feel bad when there are reasons? IDEK.

-Still rewatching Arrested Development on Hulu. I kinda wish I had a cornballer.

-Okay, I just figured out, yes, I am feeling sad. I mean, not overwhelmingly so, but it's there. I think, y'know, it's not even just about my uncle being gone--although it IS about that too--but it's also about the issue of loss. There was already so much of it last year, as well as the beginning of this year, and losing yet another person now is kind of touching on that for me. I also think having something to be sad over right now is somewhat stress-inducing, because I just honestly don't want to be sad about anything anymore. I'm tired of it. But I know this is just one of those things you have to allow for.

-I feel like I might have more to say, but I don't know what. I'm gonna try to work on my fic now, hopefully make a bit more progress, assuming my funky mood doesn't serve as a writer's blocky douchewaffle. We'll see.

For my VotD, here's a music vid from one of my Hot 26 chickadees:
