A little Friday morning time killer...

leighblackThere is nothing - I repeat NOTHING - that I've seen or heard about Sahara that would make me actually want to see it. It looks horrible.
It's quite obviously Friday, as I just went on a bathroom run and noticed that most of my cow-workers were standing/sitting around chatting. I love it when nothing gets done around here.
It's SO weird to be home every night now. Not being at the bookstore really hit me on Monday night as, unless I asked for it off, I've worked every Monday night for two or three years. Same thing with Friday night. I had to go to ye olde B&N on Wed night, as our bookgroup met there. I managed to mostly stay out of sight, so I didn't get really get noticed.
I got a new work computer a couple weeks ago, as it was time to update me from 2000 to XP Pro. They didn't remember to block streaming audio/video like on my last 'puter, so now I can acutally listen to/watch things at work again. It's lovely! But they took away my Solitare! Those bastards!!
I'll be dog sitting for my parents this weekend, as they're going down to Sioux Falls to see my brother's baseball games. I'll get to see him myself next weekend as his team will be in St. Cloud. Yay! Dog sitting means that I won't get anything productive done this weekend, since I'll be trapped at my parent's house. With their craptacular computer. Boo. Well, I will get free laundry done. That's always a plus.
I've been watching Season 3 of Crossing Jordan this week. I've actually seen most of the episodes already, since that's when I started watching the show. Wow, they make a lot more sense now. Especially "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" I was so confused the first time I saw it, and now I know why. Holy cow is that season screwed up though! Even if I didn't know all the episodes were out of order, and even if I didn't have the production numbers to know the order they were really in, it's like so obvious which episodes go where if you just look at how pregnant, very pregnant, missing, or obviously breastfeeding Jill is.
And I really need to stop compulsively watching "Revealed." It's turning into a sickness. *points to new icon*
