I

am amused that on Hulu the tag "nudity" is often accompanied by the tag "breasts".  You would think that the one implied the other.

Spoiler Alert

House gets the girl.  Finally.

I love that show.  I hope this doesn't mean it's not coming back.

I was amazed that they managed to make him even a better character than he was at first though.  Think about it, he's the perfect man: 
  • smart
  • artistic (musical)
  • funny
  • good-looking, but in a rugged, hypermasculine way
  • rides a motorcycle
  • definitely a bad boy, but with a deep, caring, good-person core
  • f***ed up to the max (what, lots of women want to take care of somebody)
  • definitely not a baby or a little boy
  • hopelessly devoted to one woman (Could you see him cheating on Cutty? I can't.)
  • got himself off the drugs and stopped wallowing in self-pity and pain
  • did I mention smart?
Gregory House.  He's what women want.

Unused facebook status of the day

_ is like a zebraduck, too many of these, too few of those, and all put together very strangely.  Neither zebras nor ducks want a zebraduck.

You know what?

A guy in whose presence I feel comfortable being smart is sexier than all the rock-hard abs in the world.
A guy with rock-hard abs, who is taller than me (or the same height, that's also hot) and cute to me, and in whose presence I feel comfortable being smart, is Kryptonite.

A guy who wants me for my body (or my theoretical subservience or my theoretical childbearing ability or the fact that he feels old and I'm young relative to him (stop looking at my profiles all you 45-year olds, there are 40-year old women out there who want you) or some other thing I represent to him) and doesn't care about anything else is not worth a microsecond of my time.  NOT A MICROSECOND.  GRRRRRRRRR.

Obviously, I'm not getting much work done today.  Must change that.  Must focus.  FOCUS.  Hrrrrrgggghghhh.

Off to get s*** done. (Hi Mom).

omg

I just realized something.  Yesterday was the first day in maybe forever, I think in forever, that I've turned a funky mood into something productive.  I went to the store and I went shopping and got food so I can cook and be convalescent this weekend.  And I got tofu instead of chicken.  Chicken is expensive and I haven't had tofu in a while.  This whole vegan/vegetarian/pescetarian/some form of non-meat-eater thing might happen after all.  (And convalescent except for Saturday, because I am totally going to Yoga on the Mall, iA.)

That reminds me, I have to make my schedule for DC Yoga Week (14 classes is the goal)!:

And my nose hurts.  I think I sunburned it.  I keep blowing it because it runs, I think because of allergies, and the blowing wipes off the sunblock.

Story READ!

My brother is an amazing writer.  He's been wanting me to finish his story for a while now and yesterday I emailed him and told him I would FINISH it last night.  And I did.

It's the first thing I've completed well and on deadline in a while.  It feels good.  I'm going to try to continue the trend, keep it going, all that jazz.

Next task: Finish Project Zombie.  And next, finish my website, or at least get it to where it looks decent and the bits I need are in place and migrate this blog.  And then, next up, add the bells and whistles.

I also have two letters to write and one book to finish today and another to start today.  Ooh, and I have food because I went shopping yesterday.

I saw a woman at the supermarket with really nice blond sisterlocks and she said the color makes them stiffer than when they're uncolored, but it doesn't make them horrible or mess them up and she had had her hair several different colors over a couple of years.  I feel very reassured.  I WANT PINK HAIR!  I cannot wait! Yeeeeeaaaah!

Time to get a move on.

I'm a bad invalid

I have to spend Friday, Saturday, and Sunday icing the dumb ankle.  I forgot yesterday that it was hurt and tried to jump up and touch the ceiling and hurt it again.  Then I walked a half-mile home and hurt it some more.  Whee.  On the positive side though, I'll have time to finish my video hopefully and get that project done with and sent off for approval.

Also, next week is DC Yoga Week.  My goal is to take 14 classes for $5 or free, one at each of the participating studios.  That's two classes per day.  We'll see if it works.  The ultimate goal of that is to find a studio that I can practice at for the next 2 months.  I'm going to try either 6 studios in one year, 2 months each, or 1 studio for one year.  We'll see!

Reminder

Stuff I have to finish (FINISH) in the next 2 weeks:

0. Websites (2, but if only the more important one gets done we'll call that success.)
1. Project Zombie
2. Reading and Editing Zain's Project
3. Writing out and copying M's Present.
4. Budgeting for the rest of the year
5. Coming up with some regular schedule for the rest of the year.

FINISH.
FINISHING IS SUCCESS.
FINISH.

I'm 29.  I was going to take my age off my facebook profile because people always think I'm much younger and then don't know how to react when they find out I'm not 19, but I didn't, cause if I do, it means it's not okay to be 29.  And I'm 29. :)  My niece is 29-29+5 days. :D

I'm getting my hair dyed too.  I have decided, iA.  If I'm going to be judged no matter what, and I am, I might as well be judged for something that makes me happy.  And waist-length pink locks would make me happy, I think.
