Behind liek whoa.

Wow. I've really been a slacker with LJ lately. *blinks*

I still have summer icons uploaded. Me! An icon maker! Shameful! *shakes finger at self*

aaaaand, I haven't even started thinking of Christmas icons. But there MUST be shiny new Christmas icons. Let's hear it from my icon fan club!! *crickets* Helllloooo? :P

Hey, at least I'm posting. w00t! Way to find the silver lining.

So, I recently saw Paranormal Activity. I liked it. I really did. It was creepy, and interesting, and even funny. The suspense was great. Made me jump a few times. Good scary fun. Had a woman behind us that summed up my thoughts at the end, quite nicely, with a well timed "Oh HELL no." Made me giggle. Hee.

I caught some re-runs of Moonlight on Chiller last night. Realized I'm still so very bitter about the cancellation. So. Very. Bitter. *hates in the general direction of CBS*

Wanna see New Moon. Still strongly in Camp Edward. Will not budge from Camp Edward. Ever. "Can't we all just get along??" NO. kthxbye. :P

Oh!!! I just got the new Star Trek from Netfilx. Wheeee!! Yes, I'm the loser that missed it at the theater, but Netflix is helping me not suck. Baby steps, people, baby steps.

Also - seems to be a lot of entertainment based thoughts rolling around in my head - I recently watched S1 of Trueblood, via Netflix, and DAYUM. I was kind of shocked by how nasty it was. I mean, I was embarrassed because it was so nasty. OMG how I wish Jason Stackhouse, and his "dates" would keep their clothes on! I get that he has sex. A lot. But I really got sick of oh-look-Jason's-having-sex-again. See me make use of the fastforward button. After doing my level best to overlook all the gratuitous nudity and sex, I did enjoy the story, and the vampires, and Sookie. Even though every time Bill says "Sooooky" in his over-the-top southern drawl, it makes me think of the Colonel and Belvedere the bulldog in that old Looney Tunes cartoon. "Oh, Belvedere! Come here, Ole Boy!! Aaah, Magnolias" Yes, Bill sounds like the Colonel. Which makes me giggle. Everytime. "Sooooky" *giggles* So I'm looking forward to S2, and hoping that Jason gets hit by a bus, or castrated, or both. ;)

On the domestic goddess front, I'm having curtain angst. I ordered some valances for my guest room, got them in. Put them up. Hated them. Sent them back. Ordered a different set. Got them in. Put them up. Hated them. Now I have to take them back. See my trauma? Now, I will be googling valances obsessively until I find the perfect set. Just another fun thing to stress over. Wheee!

I am looking forward to the holidays, though. I love Thanksgiving. We have family coming in and it's always so much fun when they are here. Looking forward to spending time with family, and doing the whole roasted turkey and trimmings bit. *happy sigh*

Hope everyone is gearing up for a fun holiday too. *hugs all around*

Season Two of True Blood has very little Jason sex
Thank goodness!! That's a relief!

Moonlight. It makes me sad, angry, and well...mostly angry. ;)

Sending along disaster free turkey vibes "winks".
Yes!! Must protect the turkey at all costs! :D

Your turkey tale reminded me of something my neighbor told me the other day. A few Thanksgivings ago she made a flourless chocolate cake which evidently had a number of complex steps. She didn't have anywhere to put the finished cake and since it was quite chilly outside she put it on a table on her patio. When she went to get the cake she found a squirrel in the middle of it, eating the whole thing.

Got the zip file btw, thank you so very much!

Oh my. I can only imagine your neighbor's trauma. All that work gone down the drain because of a crazy squirrel!! I bet he had one heck of a sugar rush. ;)

You're welcome! I hope they suit.
