sometimes life just passes you by...

I fear it's going to be another long Tuesday at work. The only thing getting me through at the moment is the fact that I'm off both Friday and Monday to properly celebrate my birthday. Until I can have it made a national holiday (like it should be...duh), I have to take a few days off. Fun times all around. It doesn't hurt that the weekend is already shaping up to be awesome of awesome with various excursions with different friends and family. Woo-hoo.

I had considered applying for fandomhigh since so many of my friends partake in it and seem to have a lot of fun with it. However, I just don't have the time to properly give to something like that at the moment. It would be a lot of fun, but I'm so behind on my writing (both fanfiction and regular) that I can't in good conscience sign up right now. It saddens me, but I'm trying to be more logical about what I can/can't handle.

Last night I got caught up on both 4400 and Eureka. And maybe watched the episode of Entourage again because I have a problem, an addiction, a great love for Vincent Chase and Ari Gold that cannot be denied.

( thoughts on the 4400... )

Eureka continues to be one of those shows that's neither good nor bad, but highly enjoyable. It makes me laugh and sometimes it's just so freaking outrageous that it amuses me. Plus, Fargo is most awesome (aka mouthbreather from Wonderfalls).

And we all know my love for Entourage. This show continues to get better and better. Just when you think you've got a character figured out, they tend to throw you for a loop, and in a way, that's a lot like real life. Not to mention, the friendship between the guys is so central to the show, so real and wonderful. I love it so much.

I haven't seen Prison Break or Vanished yet (aka - Fox night of HOT men), but I hope to watch them soon. PB is one of those shows that I never expected to like as much as I do. I went into it simply because Wentworth Miller is hotness personified. I mean, the premise seemed ridiculous to make a show out of. But by god, it works. And I love it. Vanished could be horrible and I would still watch simply because Gale Harold owns my soul. And you guys should know by now that every decision I make is guided by the promise of very hot boys.

Sam and Dean were in my dreams again last night. And once again, my subconscious didn't allow me to make out with them. It was very sad. In the dream, it was just bizarre. Dean had another family aside from John & Sam, and he introduced Sam to them all. Sam got jealous of the other family. And then I woke up. Just freaking weird. I guess that's what happens when one watches The Benders episode before bed.
