OMG DEXTER!

This episode rocked my socks off. Debster was friggin' awesome for the first half of the episode, and, as you can see above, inspired me to change my profile sentence.

I am so curious about what's going to happen next. My jaw was unhinged for pretty much this entire episode.

I've been grinning like an idiot all day.

I need more weekends like this one. It's a new goal.

Dexter tonight! Then yet more job hunting tomorrow.

Also, this made me giggle:

This space intentionally left blank.



Oh fine, I'll add at least something.

The party last night was friggin' awesome. I had more fun than the King of Funtown on the International Day of Fun on Fun pills. Today was pretty incredible too.

That being said, I'm gonna sleep for about a day now.

Dexter tomorrow. Can't wait!

D&D was fun last night. It's nice to finally be playing a long-term home game instead of lots of one-off short campaigns.

Whoa, the above sentence could totally made to be about relationships.

Anyway, it's an adjustment playing a warlock. She hits harder than rogues, who I've played, but is a wuss compared to the many fighters I've played. On the plus side, she doesn't become the damage-taking horse that a fighter usually becomes. I only took damage once the whole game!

Job searching and post office to deliver many, many packages today. Then it's time for _bossanova_'s going away party, which is going to be all sorts of fun. I'm so excited, the rest of the day could go by super-quickly and I wouldn't mind. I really need Hermoine's time-fuckery device. I could make great use of it this month in general.

On a random note, I am amusing myself by thinking of funny ways to meet someone in an airport. For example:

In Groucho Marx glasses and nose?
With a longcat sign?
With a realistic-looking temporary tattoo of their name right on your forehead?
In a V mask?
In a furry suit?
Naked but for a trench coat?

Help me think of others. I doubt I'll use your suggestions but they'll make me giggle, and that's what's important.

D&D tonight, the first game in an actual on-going campaign I'm joining.

I'm playing a spellcaster (Warlock) for the first time and I'm nervous about it!

In other news, I took the Belief-O-Matic test for the first time in five years, and apparently I haven't changed much. According to that test, I should be a secular humanist, a Unitarian, or a Liberal Quaker. What does the Belief-O-Matic tell you, oh Internet friends?

Also, while I'm in the habit of posting stupid image macros:

This made me giggle a lot:



"Ain't got no fat in 'em!"

Gorramit, I need a friggin' job. Seriously, this is starting to freak me out. Or to win the lottery, but I don't PLAY the lottery, so that's kind of a moot point.

Also, I apparently have another brain twin. I discovered this last night, over a lively discussion on AIM that elicited many giggles on my part. So that was pretty awesome, and cheered me up considerably. Though I never seem to meet any brain twins that live in the same state as me, for some odd reason. Anyway, the point is I now have kind of an e-crush. Which sounds egotistical, since I've just described said e-crush as my brain twin.

Hooray e-crushes!

Oh my god, Dexter was so friggin' good! I am so happy it's finally back.

At the end of the episode I actually yelped "Holy fucking shit!". I cannot wait to see how this season unfolds. I already have my guesses about how some things will turn out.

On a side note, what's up with this "United States of Tara" show? Just looking at what I can find online about it, I am pretty sure it's going to piss me off. The last thing we need is yet ANOTHER completely stupid media presentation of a misunderstood disorder! Though I guess the media is generally pretty stupid when it comes to mental health issues. Anyway, I get that it's supposed to be a comedy, I just hope it's actually funny and not just stupid and offensive. Especially since I like Toni Collette.

Also, I had forgotten how great Michael C. Hall is as eye candy. I would do so many terrible (by which I mean awesome) things to that man.

New Dexter tonight.

I can't friggin' wait!

For the past week I have basically been listening to nothing but Nick Drake. Sitting in my room while job searching, on my iPod when I'm walking, on the train, at night before I go to bed...I pretty much manage to listen to his entire discography each day.

I had somehow allowed myself to forget how important Drake's music is to me. Even when it makes me sad, it also gives me a strange feeling of peace. Even though his lyrics don't always apply to my life, somehow the sound of his voice and the music make me feel like someone understands how I'm feeling.

I have lots of favorite bands and musicians. A lot of those favorites I can honestly say are very important to me in one way or another. Either I just really love their music, or they were important to me at certain times in my life, or the lyrics really speak to me, whatever. Usually with those musicians/bands I can pick out certain songs to somehow explain why I like them so much. But it's harder for me to do that with Nick Drake's music. It's more than just the way the songs sound, or the lyrics, or anything that I can really put into words. It's just the way it makes me feel. There isn't a single Nick Drake song that I don't love.

Speaking of loving songs, as I was falling asleep last night I was thinking of how, on most albums, there are at least one or two songs that just aren't all that great. Maybe they're not bad, but you can skip over them pretty easily. It's rare for an album to be full of songs that you never want to skip over, where every one is good. What are some albums like that, in your opinion? Some of mine:

Nick Drake - Pink Moon
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Grant Lee Phillips - Mobilize
Joanna Newsom - The Milk Eyed Mender
Nick Cave - Murder Ballads
