my mirrors laughing at me, says boy are you getting old

Zelda

Start of this month was full of Discworld goodness.

Start of October will be full of Lego goodness.

In between: amazing Flogging Molly show at the Greek, work, work, work, catching up on TV shows (Dexter, I’m not digging this Lila chick) or getting into new ones (thanks Flash Forward for giving me goosebumps), and lots of building, building, building.

nothing’s going to change the way we live

I think I need a break. Not a vacation where you end up planning a bunch of things to do and end up running around. Just a break where I can do all of things that I want like scan a bunch of clippings, make thousands of screen grabs, redesign sites, sort through my books and clothes, toss what I don’t need, finish my taxes, clean up our condo, work on remodeling our bathroom… it’s rather endless.

When I get home from work, we’re usually too tired to do much of anything besides watch a little Animal Planet or the History Channel. Eat. Go to sleep. Start the day all over again. Weekends are a bit better. Fridays we reserve for Monk/Psych fun (sad it’s ending this week). Saturdays we do as much work as we can manage… but some Sundays we just veg and watch Law & Order marathons on USA all day.

And I just want my knee healed already. I went in last Friday for an MRI. That was weird. I’d never done that before. Tomorrow I go in for my results. My doctor ordered it because he didn’t like that I still can’t straighten my leg and it’s been over 2 months since the dislocation. The MRI is to make sure there’s no cartilage floating around in there. I guess it’s good if they find something or don’t. Either way, they’ll know what I need to do to get better.

Tonight I’ll be attempting a show at the Troubadour. French Kicks. I haven’t seen them in what feels like forever. I just hope I can get a seat because I really don’t think I could make it standing for hours. My friend’s band is opening for them. So I’m looking forward to seeing them too. Should be fun. And apart from going with Remi to see Flogging Molly last Friday, I haven’t been to a show in a very long time…

Damn you Blake Lewis for getting me sucked into American Idol again.

And damn you people who were putting on the test screening of Across the Universe! I was going to see this tomorrow evening but they cancelled the screening. I hope when it’s scheduled I’ll be able to go. Want to see so badly.
