I have 4 pages long of test results coming from the analysis department and I really have to finish them ASAP (like right now, at this moment), but do I care? Not today. Because today is what?
FRIDAY! ~~

I haven't slept well last night. Several stuff might have screwed up my sleep, for instance:

- My brother leaving me all alone in the house and spending the night with his girlfriend although I asked him several times not to do that and even told him he could invite his girlfriend over. ( We're living in a duplex apartment for god's sake, you have enough privacy, why can't he just be nice and not leave me alone? )

- Watching The Middle before going to bed and not being able to stop watching even though it was way past midnight, hence not being able to wake up like a regular human being at 7:30am. ( The Middle is awesome though! )

- Finally falling asleep but forgetting to turn off the laptop so it played and played and played the same episode of Silk all night which kinda gave me weird dreams. I think I subconsciously watched the whole thing, I am not sure. British accent is probably carved in my brain forever.

But it's okay. I had coffee and a pretty nice lunch and I'm halfway through the test results. Hoping to finish this result set today and start another hugeass one on Monday. Oh Monday, your early level of obnoxiousness is admirable.

Yeah, I'm done. Gotta go back to work. I might be able to accomplish more stuff now that most of the office is out at lunch and my phone has never been this quiet since... last year.

Wow, it's already February... This year is going to go even faster than I thought.

I just took a look at my scrapbook and kinda did a January digest. My movie watching skills are pretty good, writing is not bad, but reading? I am ashamed of that empty section under "books". I have a lot of unread/half-read books on my shelves, but I have absolutely no interest in reading lately. I'd rather spend that time writing or watching something (obviously!), but I need to get better at finishing books.

I was sick and in bed (expectedly) during the weekend. On Saturday I had to go to work for a brief meeting, then I came back home somewhat energized and stayed up late writing with awakencordy. On Sunday my whole system collapsed and I spent the whole day in bed. Mom and dad were on vacation, they came back after 5 or 6pm, don't remember, mom fed me and gave me some medicine, then I slept like a baby and here I am today. I was all "meeeh I don't wanna work todaaay ;__;" in the morning, but then I went, I worked my ass off and I feel a lot better. This flu thing better go away soon, I don't want to spend another weekend sneezing and cleaning up snot all over my face (ugh, I know, sorry! TMI).

Mom, brother and brother's girlfriend are cooking and chatting downstairs. Such a happy little family! I am surprised how good mom and girlfriend are getting along. Mom is usually irritated with her, but she is really such a cutie, it's hard to resist. But this doesn't change the fact that my brother failed one of his classes and if he can't retake that failed class next year (which is also a prerequisite for 4 classes he MUST take to graduate) shit will get real so fast, I'm afraid of the things I'll see.

THANK GOD, SCHOOL IS OVER. I am thankful for it every single day.

I miss Death Note. I want to watch it once again, but I've just finished re-watching it last week (or the week before, whatever) so I remember pretty much everything and I'm not sure if it'll entertain me as much... Still, I miss it. I admit petting the DVD box set several times. I believe it's alive.

I'm thinking about quitting some of my TV shows. BUT, everytime I say this and stop watching a show I always end up wanting to go back and when I do, I like it even better than I did when I stopped watching. Endless dilemma.

I'm mostly indecisive about;
- Chuck: I don't know what they're doing anymore!
- House: I don't know why they're still making that show anymore! Although the latest episode was FUN! And I've been watching this for what...7 years now? Do I really want to stop now? It's still 200% better than Grey's Anatomy.
- Gossip Girl: Only watching for the possibility of Blair/Dan. Even Chuck is boring. If nothing happens this season I'm out for the future ones.
- Hellcats: I'm definitely quitting this one, boring, predictable and... boring. I'm taking it off the list right now... Done.

On the other hand, I can't get enough of these shows:
- Modern Family: AWE-WAIT FOR IT-SOME.
- How I Met Your Mother: Classic.
- Cougar Town: It simply makes me happy.
- Friday Night Lights: I'm in denial. This cannot be the last season
- The Vampire Diaries: Damon and his epic vampire tears.

This last category is for the shows I just watch because I really want to see what happens next, but not as much invested as I was before;
- Greek: If this wasn't the last season, I might be more bouncy about it. Beaver episode was GOLDEN though!
- Glee: I don't even... Just for the songs. Those damned songs.
- Bones: If someday Angela and Hodgins decide to leave, I'll leave. Until then, I'll work something out. Weekly cases are boring the hell out of me, plus Booth and Brennan need to have hot sex and get it over with.
- The Office: Last Steve Carell season. Must watch even though it's not even funny anymore. Are they planning on bringing Ricky Gervais next season? I heard no buzz about it whatsoever.
- Community: Because I was watching this when nobody cared and now it's the most hipster show ever, I can't quit. Plus Annie is pretty.

Yup, pretty much it. Oh by the way, does anyone know when Secret Diary of a Call Girl is coming back? Or is it coming back at all?

RANDOM ENTRY IS FULL OF RANDOM STUFF.

Latest episode had 3 things: 2 of them good, 1 of them bad. ( Let's start with bad news )

Hello everyone! Hope you had awesome Christmases. I hear people got all sorts of lovely gifts, JEALOUS! Still waiting for the New Year's eve for my gifts. HOPEFULLY I'LL GET SOME. (Even though I bought absolutely nothing for anyone. I know, I suck. I'll make it up during the year... Hopefully)

Watched Doctor Who Christmas Special and Howl's Moving Castle last night. Yeah, I'm watching DW now :)) I only watched the first and last episode of last season, but I'm gonna start watching regularly next season. Matt Smith is just too good to miss.

I'm quite late (like 6 years) to the buzz about Howl's Moving Castle, but guys, it was A-MA-ZING. I laughed, cried, sighed, jumped on bed even! Apparently I have a thing for young, beautiful (and a tad bit feminine) wizard guys AND 90 YEAR OLD WOMEN. My god... =)) If you haven't seen it until now (aka made of fail like I am) watch it! If I know my f-list, you'll all love it.

AND THE SOUNDTRACK! Oh the soundtrack... ~~ Downloaded it last night, but didn't have a chance to listen to it, will do tonight and tomorrow and the rest of my life probably.

Planning to watch Spirited Away tonight. Hayao Miyazaki is da man and Joe Hisaishi is his OTP.

Someone on Amazon.co.uk said; "Joe Hisaishi has worked with Hayao Miyazaki for most of this cult director's award winning animations. It's almost like a John Williams-Steven Spielberg or Danny Elfman-Tim Burton partnership." 100% accurate.

That's all folks. Going back to my tedious work of software development. Good luck to me and all of you as well.

OMFG BEING ERICA! FREAKING CLIFFHANGER DAMMIT! DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT!

I hope it's someone we know, please please please! ( I want the one with the gloves to be... )

Next week looks like a Christmas special. I don't know how much more exciting they can get with the season finale, but whatever. Is that even the season finale? Do we have more than 13 episodes? Do we even have a season 4 coming up? Oh man, I know nothing and I'll be so disappointed if they stop here.

MERLIN WAS EPIC! EPIC AND AWESOME AND OH GOD... FLAILING SO HARD RIGHT NOW!



HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK?!!? HOOWWWWW! AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, HOW ANY OF US ARE SUPPOSED TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR TO SEE THE REST OF THIS AFTER NEXT WEEK???!11!!

Why couldn't they write the whole season like this? Why why whyyyyyy????

LET'S MOVE ON WITH SOME GIFS FROM THE EPISODE. I'm giving the links so it's a friendly cut.

( SPOILERY GIF NAMES AND LINKS UNDER THE CUT )

First of all; I LOVE COUGAR TOWN. Never fails to lift up my spirits. Oh that show, so pretty and funny.

I really want someone like Grayson. Some kind of a "project guy" where I can fix him with my obnoxious ability to love. Oh Jules, why are we so similar? ( Also... )

Off to watch Being Erica now. I have a terrible headache. Took a painkiller and waiting for the ache to go away so I can sleep properly.

ETA: Happy Thanksgiving! The day is almost over here, so forgive me if I totally ignored your yummy holiday :D I wish I had some stuffing as well. Man, that stuffing is one yummy dish. AND SOME PUMPKIN PIE!

I have a brand new appreciation for Gwyneth Paltrow at the moment! She was absolutely charming and a very good entertainer/singer/dancer/etc. I've never known... Forget You will be my jam for a while ~~

GO GWYNETH!

Oh wow, I had so much fun with Merlin this week! Surprising!

( Spoilers. WITH GIFS! )
