Woohoo! He can totally do it. Gonna run the numbers for me & get back to me. And my neighbor's daughter came along and as is usual, fell for Mister Kitty.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I actually feel pretty good about what I've gotten done today, despite the hours of freaking out. Library, post office, laundry, nails, and have an appointment to see what's sure to be a crappy apartment on Monday. There are two reasonable neighborhoods I think I can get into, so I have a little bit of focus, which is good.

Although I could live on the beach in a three-bedroom for less than I'm paying now, and that's pretty tempting, except for the commute.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Okay, Fall TV report.

I have watched the following new tv series:

"A Gifted Man", "Prime Suspect", "Revenge", "Homeland", and "Pan Am."

"Homeland" and "Revenge" are my favorites and shows I will continue to watch. I have dropped AGM and PS after the 2nd ep. I don't know yet what I'm going to do about "Pan Am."

Because books.

I had never heard of Homeland until I saw it mentioned the other day.

The only new show I'm really excited to watch is American Horror. Which could either be Twin Peaks with even more sex and blood, or a total train wreck.

I keep meaning to watch Revenge, but seriously, my DVR was full by the time I got home Friday, so I can't add something else! And have issues giving stuff up.

This totally recommends it. But not enough to overcome my inertia.

I love that the Revenge people get the campiness. There was an article that Linda Holmes did about Charlie's Angels that mentioned that the Revenge people were giggling at the idea of EVK ending each episode shaking her fists at the sky.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

To the tone deaf lead "singer" bellowing off-key at the top of his lungs 40 feet from my living room, I say: Whoever led you to believe that you have any talent as a musician LIED. I can only assume you're the sole person the guitarists and drummer know who has sufficient couch space for them to crash upon.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Jesse, I'm wishing you something really great, and quickly.

H has been under the weather (gout. not fun) so we've both been pretty low-key. He did a grocery run this morning, and put in a load of laundry. I transferred it from W to D, then folded and put them all away. Cleared the drainer and put clean dishes away, washed the dirty ones and left them to dry, scalded and filled water bottles, filled the filter pitcher, made the bed, wiped down the bathroom, wrote the neighborhood dues check for the month and balanced the checkbook, wrestled briefly with gmail, uploaded some pictures to LJ and DW, emptied the drainer again and put clean dishes away.

Need to post to flickr, crop and enhance a couple and post to Tumblr. And think about supper.

Yeah, Revenge looks all right, but I am trying to watch Ringer (um, vaguely -- I have the last two eps recorded and haven't watched yet), and they feel too similar. Plus, no one I really really LOVE is in Revenge.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Right, aurelia! Totes reasonable.

Thank you for enabling. As it turns out, Hulu+ won't help me because FOX has gone insane. It seems only Dish network subscribers can get the episodes before 8 days. And no new episodes of the current season are even on iTunes!
