Numbered lists seem to be the best way to get back into the groove of things:

1. ( I finished Chuck season 2. )


2. I got my eReader yesterday, and even though I've only used it for a day, I already love it to death. I don't think I can ever go back to reading (long) fic on my computer again.


3. This Strawberry Spinach Salad sounds really yummy. I'm going to have to try that some day.


4. I uploaded some new icons to my Scrapbook.


5. ( TAR finished another season. )


6. I've had to take a few people off my reading filter because of spoilers, and I'm thinking of doing an flist cut. I mean, sure, it's just reaction spoilers, but just because you don't care about the show anymore (or love it so much you can't wait to Tell. Everyone. About. It), that doesn't mean I want to know. Though it seems silly to cut people right when TV is going into hybernation for the summer.


7. Comedies are not making me dance with joy right now. ( The Office. ) ( The Big Bang Theory. ) ( HIMYM. )


8. Everyone squeeing about Star Trek has made me dying to go see it, even though I think I've only watched one full episode of any of the franchises (a TNG episode where they go back in time? Or something?) Good job, flist!


9. I'm taking the first week of June off and I can't wait! The best part is that it's vacation days I've saved from last year, so I still have five weeks of vacation coming to me after that. I'm going to try to find a cheap last minute trip to somewhere around the Mediterranean, and if that falls through, I'm going to redecorate my bedroom. Either way? So much win!


10. Hi, Laura! =)

I feel like I hardly have enough going on right now to cobble together one entry. Let's see if this list of Things Going On Right Now proves me wrong:

1. I'm siiiiiick. Ugh, I hate it so much. At least I'm over the hump (I think). From now on it'll just be a few weeks of coughing, sneezing and general mucus issues. Lovely!


2. I'm currently translating season 2 of The Office, which is having the effect of making me fall in love with the show again. Not the new episodes (unfortunately), but I'd forgotten how much I loved it back in the day - and how much better Michael was before he became this caricature of a person. ( Season 5 general spoilers )


3. As per usual, I'm watching lots of TV. *is currently at 332 episodes watched* ( Dollhouse 1x01-1x02, ) ( Life 2x15, ) ( Top Chef 5x13, ) ( and NCIS, season 2. )


4. Today I got an email from Amazon.co.uk, informing me that the Pushing Daisies season 2 DVDs will be released on May 25th. I preordered that puppy so fast heads were spinning. Even though I still haven't watched the last aired episode (I don't want to be out of episodes to watch!), I think that three months gives me enough time to come to terms with watching the end of the series. *sniff*


5. I've been making icons that I'm not hating on entirely. I'm not loving them either, but I consider this a definite step up from the months and months and months of crap.


6. Oscar night, huh? For once, I've actually seen quite a few of the movies. Still can't bring myself to care very much. I mean, it's not as if it's the Emmys, which has just become a farce, but I just don't feel the Oscars are all that much more relevant at this point.

So, in accordance with the poll results, I started with ( Friday Night Lights season 2. )

And I have a few thoughts on Shows Currently Airing.

( How I Met Your Mother )

( The Office )

( Top Chef )

( Being Erica )

( To Love and Die )

---

Also, I've been watching a lot of movies (well, for me), ( so here are a few reviews. Spoilers for Revolutionary Road, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Slumdog Millionaire. )

( My job is taking its toll on me. )

( So I'm too exhausted to do anything but watch TV Oh, the irony! (Spoilers for Life, HIMYM, The Office, Fringe, My Own Worst Enemy, Pushing Daisies and The Amazing Race. )

Work has been INSANE lately, which is why I'm not around right now. After a hellish work day yesterday, I treated myself this afternoon by watching some TV.

In the order that I watched:

( How I Met Your Mother )

( Bones, w/ tiny picspam )

( Gossip GIrl )

( I also watched the The Office finale on Friday. )

Usually, when I only feel the urge to picspam just one scene I just...don't. Because there's a little bit too much work involved in order to only end up with one panel. But Samantha Who? (OF ALL SHOWS!) made me realize that I needed to picspam, but of course one episode of that show yields only a small number of picspammable caps, so I decided to picspam a bunch of other scenes/episodes from the past couple of weeks that I haven't bothered with since it would be so little.

( Spoilers for Samantha Who?, The Office, Life on Mars and How I Met Your Mother. )

( Smile Time! IMAGE HEAVY! )

I think that was better than therapy. Hell, it was better than retail therapy.
