I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I know there's more to it than this, but I kind of love how Ruth Negga went from Agents of SHIELD to Preacher to Oscar nomination!

I worked on ships for six years. Just over three of those years was with Chris, who, at the expense of sounding mushy, is the greatest thing to ever happen to me. But ships is tough. We worked 7 days a week for the duration of a contract, which often didn't overlap perfectly which meant we didn't even really get vacations together.

So the fact that we are sitting around on a Saturday morning - me playing on the Internet and him playing Hearthstone - and we discuss what we want to do today? And nobody has to go to work? This "real life" thing is pretty fantastic.

That's awesome. I can't believe you worked on ships for six years! Weren't you here before that? Time flies, man.

That's so great! And bodes well for your relationship.

I watched her in a Irish series from 2004 where she was the romantic lead against Allen Leech. I think she's been a star in the making for a long time.

Side note: I saw her and her BF Dominic Cooper at the Kate Bush concert I went to and they were both wee. Perfectly proportioned, but wee. His IMDB page says he's 5'9 1/2" but I would have said he was 5'6"

Well, Starks have a fluid definition of height.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Man. I'm glad I don't date anymore. Too much stress, too many headgames.

It's warm, and the worst of the day's tasks are done. I'm pretty happy today.

Oh yeah, clearly.

I realized today that I haven't even tried to go on a date in almost 4 months. The holidays and being busy at work played a part, but I suspect that I've been subconsciously avoiding breaking my winning streak after the last one went so well.

Woot! Vacuuming is done! Laundry is done but not put away, and my dishes are washed. Forget spoons, I keep running out of forks. And I'm out of diet Coke. I should probably leave the house sometime today.
