I think snow makes me crazy. Like crazy where I'm jittery and anxious mixed with sleepy depression feelings of crawling into bed. I've been this way all day while working. I can't focus more than ten seconds. I've already walked away from the computer twice while attempting to type this.

My shoes came today. All but one pair fits, so I need to return them, but they were the least necessary of the bunch. Not bad. I love all of them. Even the bright orange sneakers that DYA said they remind her of kids who ride the special bus to the special school. But these orange shoes are kangaROOS with a special pocket that's about large enough to hold a special quarter which I can use to call home and get a ride after getting beat up for wearing special orange shoes. She also wants to dirty or scuff them all up, but I like them all looking a bit pristine. They're currently on display on top of their respective show boxes, strewn about the....what's that room called? The center room? It's too big to be a foyer, even though it's where the front door is. The spiritual room? The sitting room? Anyway, that's where my shoes are.

I just had to switch out my crazy jazz Mahler music, that was making me more spastic.

I just started reading this bizarre book that I'm in love with: Boris Vian's Foam Of the Daze. It takes place in New Orleans, and I wish I could read it fast enough and send it home with [livejournal.com profile] thebrownhornet, who I get to see in person tomorrow. Twice even. Once for breakfast, then later on at dinner with some other fabulous people I've been missing, like [livejournal.com profile] vfc and Miss Rook.

Of course what I should be reading is Henry James's Daisy Miller for my critical paper, but after finishing The Plague I wanted something more quirky and lively. Stoic well-crafted narratives are nice and all, but they don't get me hard. Ok, well sometimes they do, which is why I get all obsessed with Proust and ordered a differently translated version of his insane novel which I'll probably never finish reading even though I'm including his long sentences in my paper, because I love long sentences except for when I find them self-indulgent and even then I wonder if it's just intellectual envy. Um, I'm going to stop writing about this now.

Back to work. And for right now, by "work", I mean watching Alias.

Help me understand the Alias phenom! Chewy watches that shit like he's a starving man and the show is a 2.99 Vegas Buffet. In fact he is at his place watching it because I'm watching Rhinestone.

If it's just a Jennifer Garner thing i can understand. she's cute in ways that defy logic.

But I'm guessing it's a little more than that. Right?

I can't really explain it. I actually have a love/hate relationship, where I roll my eyes and groan and get my intelligence insulted regularly, but I guess I'm into humiliation because I can't stop wanting to see more. I don't even think Jennifer Garner is that cute, though her outfits are hooooooot. But that's more a wig/shoe/fashion fetish. I like capers. I like fist-fights. I like gadgets. I like some of the actors, including the guy who used to be on Cagney and Lacey back in the day. But some of the actors are horrible. And damn, these plots and lame twists get recycled more than plastic grocery store bags.

Right now I"m annoyed by the commercials. I watched the first three seasons on DVD rental (aka the poor man's TiVo). I might just wai 6 months to see this season on DVD too and go back to my CSI watching.

DYA had to get up early for her trial....once an alarm goes off a couple times, I can're really go back to sleep. Plus I woke up hungry, so I rolled outta bed and made us some bacon. now i'm thinking about taking a short nap before [livejournal.com profile] thebrownhornet gets here in half an hour and we go out for Breakfast II: The Sequel.

Does this mean you've also watched 13 Going on 30?

well, i guess if theres bacon involved.

hah. i havent see 13-->30. i actually SHOULD add that to my "too see" list. I sure do love me a BAD movie. GIgli is the best WORST movie ever, fyi.

YOur breakfast sequel sounds way cooler than a daredevil sequel...ill admit that.

Uh... I can't believe I'm saying this, but I've seen 13 --> 30. It's bad. Bad. Not unbearable, but bad.

The best part is Mark Ruffalo looking embarrassed to be in the movie.

She was on some MTV show promoting the movie and they showed some scene where she's in the mountains in a pagoda like structure (or I could be making it up...I was only listening to the TV) and cane fighting. And then something happened and her "sensei" (whiter than David Carradine) told her to go away (I think because of her attitude or something contrived) and she asked if it was a test and he said no, get off my mountain. And she put her stick down and started sobbing uncontrollably and all I could think was, superheroes don't cry .

Anyway, movie looks like shit. Jennifer Garner is a bad actress dating THE worst actor ever (besides Luke and Owen Wilson).

who is she dating?!?

haha...yeah that crap seems like a very likely extrapolation of daredevil. I dont know if you all know the premis of dd....ben affleck is a blind superhero. And the opening line is PURE GOLD...

"they say.....justice is BLIND."

I wanted something more quirky and lively

A good Quimby's comic book! :}

Alias is addictive. Even when it's bad. I missed most of last season so I don't REALLY know what is going on but still enjoyed tonight's episode!
