8:25 pm	Big Read Meme *waves to everyone* According to my profile its been 99 weeks since my last post. Sheesh! A lot has happened since then. This meme from a__ inspired me to jump back in to the posting pool, so here goes... *SPLASH* The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. 1) Look at the list and bold those you have read. 2) Italicize those you intend to read. 3) Underline the books you LOVE. 4) Reprint this list in your own LJ.

4:18 pm	Dog Days of Summer... Literally, because we're getting a puppy! A female chocolate lab (who is sure to never jump up on a certain person). Pick up is set for Friday which is good for several reasons, the first of which is she still remains nameless - more time to decide, the second being we currently have zero puppy supplies so a trip to Petsmart is in order tonight, and last but not least, I absolutely cannot wait a day past Friday! *bounces in anticipation* Thanks to kcphoenix for all her advice and patiently answering my never-ending stream of questions.

3:20 pm	Super! Saturday Saw Superman on Saturday and loved it. I asked if my strong positive opinion of the film was merely due my low expectations these days. I was assured that this was not the case, and that it was in fact a good movie. I thought Brandon Routh did an excellent job as both Superman and Clark Kent, especially considering this was his first major role. It didn't hurt though that he is indeed a beautiful man. :) (Comment on this)

9:21 am	It all comes down to this... and we'll have all the time in the world to discuss ad nauseum. Just please, please, please let there be a few crumbs of toast between the time the Christmas ornament of doom unleashes its power and Sydney and Vaughn ride off into the sunset. *invokes inner dip one final time* OTP.OTC. smut-HO!

9:28 am	Derailed by Spoilers Why oh why do I do this to myself? This is why I stopped reading spoilers in the first place. This latest Alias one has to be a "foiler" right? (just say Yes!)Is it too much to hope that Vaughn dies again? Or that somehow Sloane is the one? I mean he's extended spyfam - who better to die than the creepy Uncle Arvie? *headdesk* (Comment on this)

7:51 am	Happy Birthday Jen! Seems fitting that the one who dragged me into this mess (or did I drag you?) should be the subject of my maiden LJ post. Happy Birthday Jen! May your year be happy, healthy, and very productive in the fic dept! :) Now get back to work... *cracks whip* (21 Comments |Comment on this)
