Marshmallow Scars

Now that I have cable and high speed internet again, I am finally able to enjoy things I’ve been missing out on for the last six or so years. One of those things is the tv show Supernatural.

It is like a group of people sat down at a table and asked, “What would Barb want to watch on tv?”

The result is this tv show. I love every last thing about it, from the eyecandy leads to the violence and horror plots, all of the X-Files alumna who are part of it, and the KICKASS music.

It’s perfect.

I hate being so late to the game watching it, though. I generally frown upon mainlining tv series like I’m doing right now because you don’t get any of the anticipation or suspense that came with viewing it live on television. Heck, I have enough of a problem with there not being any commercials on the dvds. No, I don’t want advertising, but those five minute breaks are part of the storytelling. When you’re sitting there watching it all at once, it loses a little something.

Mind you, that is not going to stop me from watching all of the episodes as quickly as I can because I love the show to pieces.

Double standard, table for one (two?)!

I’ve watched 8 episodes since Saturday night. I could get the first season done by next weekend, but the weather is supposed to be nice, so I am hoping I will have the willpower to enjoy the sunshine and 70s temperatures instead of watching tv shows on my laptop. (doubtful, but I’ll still hope)

But that’s why you love me, right?

- I have put off two projects until the last minute – personal projects, nothing for work – and I’m trying to get them done ASAP these days.

- I always mean to come here and post, but then I never do. I hate being lazy, but I also love it. I’m a walking contradiction, with this and many other things.

As of last Wednesday, I am an Auntie again! My newest little sweet pea is the cutest thing ever. EVER! Except for the first little sweet pea. And the real first little sweet pea from 13 years ago. I’m an aunt 7 times over now. I LOVE IT! Not only do I love them all so much, it also keeps the heat off me when my siblings pop out the kids. Mom has stopped putting the questions to me. I know she despairs because I’m probably not gonna ever settle down and have any kids of my own, but them’s the breaks.

BABY!

You guys, she is so adorable, I almost can’t stand it. Her little fuzzy head! It’s so soft! And just everything! She’s precious and beautiful and sweet.

My sister was in the hospital until yesterday with a couple of troubles, but she should be okay now. It’ll be a while before she’s top shape, of course, but she’s home and feeling a bit better.

That’s my news, in a nutshell. *insert Austin Powers scene here*

I ate this last Thursday night. It was pretty good for a half-assed meal.
