{{smonster}} I'm sorry sweetie. We aren't doing anything fun but feel free to come over and watch Breaking Bad with us! (we are mainlining the first season, and are about 6 eps through)

Yeah, the car battery is dead (or the alternator or something) so we are gonna pick up a rental tomorrow morning. I don't want to roust you out of bed, but if you're up a little bit before 9am or so, we could roll with another jump (or a ride to Budget). Don't worry about it though, we can get a cab if you need a lie-in.

I don't think I could handle Breaking Bad right now, from what I've heard about it, but many thanks!

Yes, give me a call in the morning, it'll get me up and to the laundromat at a decent hour. Sorry about the battery!

eta also, I just slammed the shit out of my thumb in a drawer, so apparently the universe decided I needed to cry and get it all out.

Animals and self fed, now engaging phase two: chocolate and werewolves.

hugs smonster gently

PMS does, indeed, suck. Muchly.

Thanks, Anne.

Am also giving myself a Halloween pedicure: orange, then crackle black, then shimmery orange.

I love the idea of Ginger Snaps and ice cream. I hope it makes you feel better, my dear.

It did, somewhat. I'm dling the first one now, since I've never seen it.

Ended up doing my fingernails, too, a Wet n Wild duochrome. Just took Frankie for his night walkies and now to bed.

Wow y'all talk a lot in a month!

{{{{{Buffistas}}}}}}

Thanks for all the well wishes.

I've also lost 50+ pounds...

Wow, Daniel! Hospital will do that to you.

smonster, Ginger Snaps Back and ice cream sounds good. I'm going to TJ's tomorrow (it's still exciting to be able to say that! I've only been twice so there are still SO MANY NEW THINGS!) to get those salted chocolate covered almonds.

Dan and I went to Microcenter for about an hour and geeked out. We both practically orgasmed in the Apple part of the store (The Air! So light! The HUGE ASS SCREEN! so cool!) and we literally stood slack-jawed and drooling in front of a 55 inch I don't know what kind of fancy TV that looked SO AMAZING, we were just embarrassing ourselves. We just stood there gaped-jawed watching Iron Man 2 on it for about 10 minutes, whispering things like "holy fucking shit, Gwyneth Paltrow DOES have pores!" and "I think I just came in my pants -- oh, my god, this thing is pretty!"

I found neon pink fishnets for my outfit, and bought screaming red permanent dye, which I will amp up for the event even more with screaming red Manic Panic. My hair's gonna be the color of Sydney Bristow's wig in the first ep of Alias. Except not ratty looking. I'm so excited I can dye my hair screaming colors again if I want to. Red fades pretty fast, and Manic Panic will be out in a week or two.

Then we watched the last 3 eps of The Walking Dead to prep for the premiere on Sunday, and then I had the fun of making Dan watch Serenity for the first time.

It was actually a really awesome day.

smonster, I'm glad you like the shadow! And I hope you feel better. *kisses*

We went to Cardiff yesterday!

Cardiff rocks! I went to uni there for my undergrad degree. Haven't actually been back since - I need to check out the Torchwood bits, since Cardiff Bay was mostly developed after I left.

Looking forward to seeing you today, sj!
