Check it, I'm back!

[wednes]

First and foremost, were any of Sunday Night FOX's shows new this week? I got back in town much later than expected. So apart from an emergency phonecall about sharks on 60 minutes, I have no idea what transpired on my second favorite TV night of the week.

That said...

I saw this whip-ass TV meme, and now you can see it too:

My "Everybody Loves It And I Do Too" Show: Lost

My "I'll Catch It on DVD" Show: Desperate Housewives

My "I LOVE IT AND YOU SHOULD TOO" Show: Battlestar Gallactica

My "I Love, But Keep Missing, Dammit" Show: Boston Legal

My Guilty Pleasure Show: None. Everything I watch is of the highest quality. And if you don't buy that, Smallville

My "Comfort Food" Shows: Law & Order, L&O SVU

My "I'll Never Abandon You, EVER" Show: The Simpsons

My "OMG, When The Hell Are They Going To Put That On DVD?!" Show: The Monkees (shut up!)

--------

I had a super-happy-fun-time weekend with K, N, and S at N's parents vacation house. We burned a lot of firewood, and ate a fair amount of unhealthy food. That S is a delight. Plus, N helped me start the scarf I'm going to try to crochet for H for Xmas. I'm using camoflage yarn (it's what H picked out before the last time I tried to crochet something) and the excellent tools I got from fyreangel many moons ago. And can I just say...it's really hard.

As many of you know, I have never successfully crocheted anything before, as the various yarn related arts have always escaped me. For serious. I tried for six months to do a latch hook rug and just couldn't figure it out. I think it's some kind of mental block. In fact, I've already screwed the scarf up once. I sort of stiched the wrong row because I couldn't figure out which row it was supposed to be toward the middle. It's kind of confusing, or else it's not and I'm moron. Anyway, I'm approaching it with an I love it Wednes, because YOU made it mentality. I'm sure H will appreciate my efforts and would wear it even if it was the ugliest scarf he'd ever seen in the history of mankind...and I can probably do slightly better than that.

We've received some awesome holiday cards from folks. Many thanks for that. I also recieved a refund for a movie I got from Amazon because I gave the seller a 3. She emailed me politely and I told her why I gave her that rating and she refunded me. So that was cool.

Lest anyone assert that I am reluctant to blindly follow fads, here is one of those obnoxious glittery things people are posting:

Uh, I love The Monkees! AND, the first two seasons are on DVD but expensive...$80.00 a season. I would also like them one day.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

WHAT?!?

$80 a season is highway robbery.

Also, what are you doing for New Years Eve?

[kindofblue328.livejournal.com]

Coming to your house :)

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Okay then.

[kindofblue328.livejournal.com]

I am so addicted to this sparklies thanks to you!!!

Dude, you should totally make that a userpic!!

[near-dark.livejournal.com]

The Simpsons and The War At Home were new.

Family Guy and American Dad were not.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

I can't beleive I missed a new Simpsons. Why couldn't have i missed the one that'll rerun in a week on Cartoon Network?

Was it funny?

[near-dark.livejournal.com]

I actually fell asleep.

But that was because I was tired!

It did have Sideshow Bob and his wife and son so I'm betting it was quite funny.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Oh man...that sounds hilarious.

[pyrafire.livejournal.com]

That meme is getting ganked. Right now. :o)

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Yeah...it's a good one.

Hey, do you guys have plans for New Years Eve?
Kassy persuaded me to have people over.

[pyrafire.livejournal.com]

I will actually be in Florida for New Year's. We're not going home for Christmas, and my friend from FL is actually getting married on New Year's so I'm going to her wedding. Have a rockin' party, though!

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Whoa, that sounds pretty fun actually.

And we will, thank you.
;-}

love the meme, i hope i remember to do it!

glad you had a good time! camoflauge yarn would be cool to see/work with. the only yarning/crafts i really ever did was as a kid w/my grandma. just the basic crocheting and i can knit a scarf but that is IT.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty good with other kinds of crafty things. I can embroider pretty well, and have designed and done my own large and fabulous cross stiches. But the yarn...damn yarn!!

[fyreangel.livejournal.com]

Don't forget.. Stitchguide.com is your friend :)

I missed Simpsons too :( I figured I'd watch it on one of the time shifting channels.. but then the boy showed up with a movie.. so I missed it :( I missed it for House of Wax.. which was ALMOST worth it.. just to see Paris die!

[skryche.livejournal.com]

WTF no Arrested Development?

[wednes.livejournal.com]

I don't watch that show. I do see the brilliance and the appeal; but I don't like any of the characters. Not one of them is actually kind of sane, so it wears me out to watch.

What's your favorite monkees song? I like Pleasant Valley Sunday, Star Collecter, She Hangs Out, Randy Scout Git, I love em all really.

Have you ever heard Tork's song, about the Pet Pig Porky...that he liked pizza pie, pumpkin pie, pineapple pie, mice tarts...and he ate so much pie you know what he did...he popped!

[wednes.livejournal.com]

I used to own every Monkees cassette tape.

My faves include: Goin' Down, Words, Love is Only Sleeping, For Pete's Sake, and Porpoise Song. I own Head if you don't and want to see it. My Monkees lunchbox however, has gone to that great garage sale in the sky.

[kindofblue328.livejournal.com]

You like the experimental monkees on pot, dont you, lol!

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. I like season 2 much better than season 1.
