You're so Vain, You Probably Think this LJ is About You

We've had Netflix for 3 days and already JP is hooked. I shouldn't have started him on the strong stuff, letting him do his own searches and signing in on his PS3. I'm not much better, with my 11-part miniseries on the British monarchy, but I've had Netflix before. I can handle it. I can quit any time I want.

I did finally watch North & South, the BBC miniseries that I've heard so much about. And while it was a bit melodramatic (people dropping like flies, family members on the lamb, and every single man in love with the same woman), I LOVED IT! Mainly because of him:




Love the character of John Thornton. Imagine Mr. Darcy as a tradesman. Hubba, hubba. I'm such a sucker you guys, I kid you not.

I ended my crappy work week by splurging on some ballet flats and sandals at DSW, picking up a six pack of Dos Equis, and getting pissed while watching The Mighty Boosh.

Things are looking up!

What y'all doing this weekend, flist?

Having a lovely Diet Coke with vodka and lime while watching Dr. Who. I don't know what the Hell is going on, but it doesn't interrupt my enjoyment of the show even though I still like David Tennent better.

About my earlier notes:

- JP is the best boyfriend because he repaired my parent's computer after my father somehow managed to shred a game CD in the drive. He's such a sweetie! ♥

- Thursday a former co-worker of mine chose me to be her guest at her anniversary luncheon at Chama Gaucha, a Brazilian steakhouse that has the most beautiful salad bar I have ever seen and about 5-7 waiters at any given time that circle around your table cutting meat off large metal skewers and putting it on your plate. They just keep coming and coming. An endless attack of MEAT. Every cut of beef, lamb, and chicken you can think of. So, so delicious. I have eaten at a place like this before but this was definitely the fanciest. Will go again when I am done digesting this meat. Like in a month or so...

- And finally, one last poem until the mood strikes me again for National Poetry Month and fitting, based on my activities tonight:

ETA: THANK YOU,iammine, for the lovely tin hat! LOL! I love hats, actually...

I recently re-watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and cried through half the damn thing. It was an emotional blood bath.

For the better part of today I was plopped in front of the TV, watching BBC America's Being Human marathon (I was also on my laptop, "working," so I was not a total lump). I quite enjoyed most of the episodes I caught - Aidan Turner is hubba hubba! I love the friendship between him and George and the chemistry among the trio. ♥

I did my tax return and it wasn't as good as last year, but Turbo Tax has assured me that I have been getting that "extra" money in every paycheck from 2010, so I should just shut up about it already (they didn't actually say that, but it's what they meant). Oh, well. That's the way the cookies crumbles.

Mmmm, I still have Girl Scout cookies...

Okay, time to pass the fuck out.
