What do you mean, it isn't Monday anymore?

corilannamSo after a week of total, non-stop suck last week, I was sick and miserable for most of the weekend, which turned out to be the perfect excuse to do nothing but wallow on the couch with my blanket and watch Farscape. This worked out so well for me that I called in sick yesterday and did it again. After mainlining all of the first season, I can only say, where has this show been all my life? ("Over on your to-be-watched list while you were giving The West Wing 'just one more chance!', you idiot.") I am, of course, madly in love with John Crichton and even more madly in love with Aeryn Sun. Tonight starts season 2.
My current Farscape addiction means that my TiVo is going to get very cranky with me. I suspect that more shows that I've been watching on a trial basis are going to get the boot. Clubhouse is already long gone, despite the pretty. I was giving Veronica Mars and Jack & Bobby a chance, but honestly, there's only so much high school angst I have room for in my entertainment life, so they're probably going to be toast after this week. Lost and Desperate Housewives (which if you run those titles together, would make a really funny show) are staying due to extreme coolness. I'll miss sleep for those.
And I actually had a dream the other night that I was pimping Hawaii to somebody.

I've decided to do NaNoWriMo this year. I've been wanting to do it again for a couple of years now, ever since my first attempt ended in laughable failure, but I've never had a project that was suitable. This year, however, I have the perfect thing -- a silly Stargate story with no redeeming literary qualities other than being very long, and which I will never write if not forced to do so in one giant push. This forces me to spend October actually doing the research and outlining it requires, which I've been putting off for ages, due to utter lack of external motivations.
In the meantime, it's back to another sucky work week. When a weevil infestation turns out to be the highlight of your week, it's time to reconsider educational options.
