sorry but was it my imagination that last week's episode was supposed to be a two-parter? maybe not an official one but it sure seemed cliff-hangery to me. i mean the ending wasn't actually an end, was it? how did they resolve everything? did i miss something? and this week's ep has nothing to do with any of the stuff that happened in the previous ep....i'm totally confused. anybody on my flist watching this with answers? is anyone watching it? maybe that's the better question.......

all i will say is that the first 5 minutes of this episode are like the fanfic of my heart come to life.

i'm sort of in love with carlo rota.   anyone with me?

yay!  new recordings from our live show last friday at airplay cafe!!!  i'm so psyched with how they all turned out.  please check it out, if you have a moment.   your ears will thank you!   and so will i!

 and that's pretty much all i have for the moment.  except AAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

community wins!!!!!!!

also white collar is terrific!  

thanks to you fabulous friends who have helped.  i still have more shows to try out and that thrills me to no end! 

so flist.....

tell me some good reasons why i should catch up on castle, dollhouse, gossip girl, and sanctuary......i haven't been watching them at all and feel like mebbe i ought.

and if you can't tell me why i should be watching them....what else should i be watching i might not?

thanks and smooches!

just watched the final episode of defying gravity and i have that awful feeling of loss.  i know i was warned not to get too attached, but it was so damn good and so full of possibility, and it's just done.  i was so gripped by it: the characters, the stories, the mythology that was building, the overall look of the show, and the mystery.  not to mention ron livingston was carving his niche in my little "men i love" pantheon.  damn abc for being so fucking shortsighted.  how unusual for a network to fail on such a grand scale......fuck. 

um.  in other less fannish news, on friday when i was playing hooky, i spoke to hachem for the first time in 21 years using gmail's voip.  it was strange and intense and wonderful and weird and i'm gripped with the impulse to hop a plane to tunisia.  but i won't, so no worries--at least not yet.  i really want him to come here actually and think that might be nearly impossible as well (just how easy is it for an arab to come into the us these days?).  it is perhaps as he tells me, destiny keeping us apart.  that we're actually star-crossed.  and that's nearly as heart-breaking now as it was 20 years ago when we met in paris.  

meanwhile i have to keep my head about me so i can continue to do the job i hate during the day.  and do all the many other things i love--like my band!  i love my band!  the show friday was mediocre at best although i sounded good.  the boys had some problems, and tyler especially was nervous and then broke a string so there was that.  but i had a great time and britton kept telling me i was holding them all together which felt terrific plus i looked great--miss anita at the lancôme counter in the lloyd center nordstrom did my make-up and it was fantastic--all sexy, smoky eyes...very glam!   and i can't wait for our show next weekend at the alberta st pub.  

well i'm off to hang with my bro and the nephews and then i'm seeing ragtime tonight with my friend liz.  all in all, not a bad weekend! 

i just finished re-watching dogfight which i haven't seen since it came out in '91.  and watching river phoenix was like a revelation.  and now i'm leaking tears and missing this poor boy.  what a loss. 

this is awesome.  seriously.  sheldon/penny in the best most believable way.  

and also this from glee.  will/emma.  omg.  i love them.   and i love this show.  in a "i haven't felt like this since forever" kind of way.  they could call it joy if it weren't such a terrible idea.  but that's what it fills me with: joy.  and glee.  so i guess they can leave it.

tell me why the unrequited or thwarted love is the best kind?  tell me...........

sometimes i really love bones.  

and also "sex up."  come on now! 

plus you should see my new haircut.  it's so rock n roll.   if i could figure out how, i'd take a pic with my blackberry and show you.  that may be more techy than i can manage at this late hour.

i rest my case. 

i just now sent to the collegial team with whom i work, this vaguely vocabularily-challenging teaser: 

but there are some great titles on this list that i've missed too!  man, i repeat for the millionth time: i love the intarwebz!   i mean where else you gonna get a list of novels that every science fiction buff connoisseur aficionado inamorata ought to read? 

in other news, i love my band.  i hate my job.  why can't i be a rock star and just quit?   if nothing else, i'm hoping to get a book out of this whole ordeal.

and if you're anywhere near the portland metropolitan area this friday, you should come see me at red room on 82nd at midnight.   it's where i'll be doing the job i love.

ok so this morning at yet another interminable "team" meeting, i used the word "obstreperous" to describe some of the students.  at that moment, all five pairs of eyes turned towards me as though i'd broken into greek or sumerian and, nearly as one, chimed, "hey there...words" or "this is middle school."  

there are no eyes big enough to roll largely enough.  none.  

this is where i work.
