Reality Bites, Center Stage, and the first season of Coupling) should be on the way to me as I type. I feel so hip and with-it.

We spent the weekend in a haze of 24. We received both Seasons 1 & 2 on Friday, watched the last four episodes of Season 1, watched five episodes of Season 2 on Saturday, and another five on Sunday. Such a good damn show. Surely I’m not the only one who thinks that Keifer Sutherland looks like a Doonesbury character brought to life?

I also finished reading Song of Susannah last night. God, I love this series, and I’m sad that there’s only one more book left. But I also can’t wait to read it! Have I mentioned that I have a big ol’ crush on Roland? Yeah. There’s me, being geeky again…

We went to the quarry again on Friday. I was pretty freaked out by a huge-ass catfish that seemed to be stalking me. Seriously, the fucking thing was about three feet away and followed me wherever I went. I’m sure he was just waiting until I wasn’t paying attention so that he could SUCK MY FACE OFF AND CHEW ON MY BRAIN. But I made Fred get between the fish and I, so the bastard was stymied. Ha!

Friday marked one year since Mr. Fancypants went missing. I can’t believe it’s been a whole year! In the past year I’ve probably had twenty dreams that he came home; I’d wake up excited that he was home and then realize it was only a dream. Honestly, I’m still hoping that another family found him and took him in. A girl can dream, right? Perhaps in honor of his memory, one of the cats brought in a bird (a sparrow we think) and left it in my bedroom for me to find when I woke up. Luckily it was under the table across the room from my bed, but I sense that one of these days I’m going to wake up with a dead bird IN BED WITH ME, and then I’ll never be able to sleep again. Damn cats. It’s sad that Meester Boogers never got to meet Mr. Fancypants. They’re so much alike in so many ways – laid-back, friendly, always willing to play, would love to snuggle up with the other cats – that they’d either be the best of friends or mortal enemies. Godspeed, Mr. Fancypants, you fancy little shitting-outside-the-box bastard.

Things people have searched on (using the “search this site” link over there in the sidebar): The Apprentice: Nope, never watched it. We’ll probably give Season 2 a try, though. Exercise journal: I took it down, and am journaling my exercise in a notebook with a pen. Weight loss picture and Before after pictures and After photos: Took ’em down, but they wouldn’t be on this site, in any case. They’d be over at OneFatBitchypoo, once I get the archives completely put up. Weight lost: 125 pounds and holding for three years now. Lots more to go, though! Weight loss tracking: That would also be over at OneFatBitchypoo, but I haven’t put the chart back up yet. Soon! Love Actually: Loved it! Buffalo chicken pizza: Nope, haven’t tried it yet. Don’t plan to in the near future, since it seems that almost everyone who tries it ends up in the bathroom for several hours! Honey mustard chicken and Red beans and rice and honey mustard dressing: There’s a recipe link over there in the sidebar which leads to my page of recipes. Which reminds me – I need to put up some new recipes I’ve tried recently! Cat urine cleaner and tubby pee cleaner and cat cleaner and cat pee carpet odor and cat pee cleaner: It’s called Axi-dent, and you can buy some here. Dyson: I’ve had it for six months, and I’m still loving it! Best vacuum cleaner I’ve ever had! Nance: She’s here. Jane: She’s here. For the record, if you look over on the sidebar under Other, you’ll see a Who I Read link. It’s woefully out of date but both Nance and Jane are on the list (though I have Nance listed as “Dysfunction Junction” rather than “Nance.” Which I should change. And I will! One of these days…) Liver: It’s fatty. I have to go back in six months to have my liver enyzmes tested again. New carpet: Nope, it’s not new, it’s the carpet that was here when we moved in three years ago. Leather patch: Uh? Nope, not a clue what you were looking for here.

For the record, I do keep meaning to put up a “recommended” page so that if you’re trying to find the cat pee odor remover you can just go there and see what it’s called and where to get it. But I keep meaning to do lots of things – Go Fuck Yourself hasn’t been updated since MARCH, for the love of god – so it’ll probably be a while before that happens. Yeah. It shouldn’t surprise you too much that I’m a procrastinator.

Look what my sister found at my parents’ house, scanned, and sent me: Quite the artiste, wasn’t I?
