Sometimes you just can't win.

(firstly and apart from everything else I'm about to post: Happy Birthday warmage!! Also, good luck to blergeatkitty, who starts her shiny new job today!)

Last night I went to the gym after work, and it was a GREAT idea. 15 minutes on the elliptical bike, 75 crunches and some free weights really does feel like a good workout. I'm hoping to work up to a longer stretch on the elliptical soon, although I may have to plan my gym time around That 70's Show. Good tv really does make a workout better. Anyway, for my workout and nicely balanced dinner, I was 'rewarded' with the following two unpleasant incidents last night:

1. LJ went poof for several hours. At first I thought that my connection was acting up again, but after an hour or so I discovered this wasn't the case, and ALL of LJ was down. Not fun. At least it wasn't like the Great Outage of '05 - LJ was down for a whole weekend! *rattles cane*

2. Veronica Mars was not on AGAIN last night because of stupid, stupid basketball. I now hate the sport. I never much liked it, honestly. Now? I hate, hate, hate it. I also see no reason why they couldn't just throw VM on after the game was over, but whatever. Now all I can do is wait until my favorite back-alley sources have some form of an episode available for my consumption. In the meantime, grr, arrgh, and I feel a flaying coming on. And worst of all? It was the fucking Nets. Who I dislike violently anyway, for the way they're threatening to ruin Brooklyn further with their stupid arena that we really don't need. Brooklyn is full. Will someone please hang the No Vacancy sign already?

To console myself about the lack of VM, I decided to watch the episode of Supernatural that antheia made me download. And thanks to her peer pressure, I may now have ANOTHER show to add to the list. Le sigh. It may work out, however, because I may not watch NCIS anymore next season.


It looks like they may kill off Gibbs in the season finale. And for me, No Gibbs = No Mark Harmon = No point. None.


And that's that, for now. Nothing more of substance to say, really, except that I'll be spending most of my procrastination time over at daydreamholiday today, the rad new community that antheia put together yesterday, in part because of this post..
Anyway, work.

I'd argue with you about the nets thing, but it would be to no avail.

You're for it? That's a surprise. Why are you for it?

[lwoodbloo.livejournal.com]

Got my reasons.

Dave and I did not go to the gym for three weeks in light of the fact that we had to remodel/fix our tenant apartment. This is the week back to the gym, and I am SO sore, but I also feel good about working out. I have to remember to do that more often!!!

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

Well, I think the remodeling does count as a workout. But I feel like I have a routine now that I can live with, and that I like, so I feel confident I can do it more often. I mean, 2 days at the gym + one day of bellydancing should be good. And if I can get more gym time? All the better!

I kept trying to tell dave that remodeling counts as a workout, but he isn't buying it! Hahahaha! We are working on getting back up to our regular jogging for half an hour. I used to hate jogging but I am starting to find it really Zen for some reason as of late. :)

NCIS: I totally agree. I mean, I love the other characters, but really. There's NO point without Gibbs.

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

Seriously. I mean, don't get me wrong, I like Abby and Ducky and Ziva and DiNozo and McGee, but Gibbs is the real reason I tune in every week. It's bad enough they killed Kate, but Gibbs? They'd lose me as a viewer!

[blue_ant]

They'd lose me as a viewer!
Me too! Le sigh.

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

And many others, I'm sure.

[blue_ant]

We can all protest and, uh, stuff. ;)

I have a madness laced crush on Bonnie.

[offbalance.livejournal.com]

Which one is Bonnie?

[lwoodbloo.livejournal.com]

Gah, I think I have the name wrong. Hold on!

Make that Abby and it's right.

Fangs you Shazzinator :)
