End of the Work Week Wisdom!

I've noticed that End of the Work Week Wisdom has a bit of an unfair bias lately. You see, Thursday nights, right before I go to bed, I watch Supernatural. Which means that if I hear something funny on the show, it usually gets stuck in my head, and then ends up here on Friday.

So...

"No, the X-Files are a TV show. This is real."
--Dean Winchester

Made slightly even more amusing by the fact that we're generally watching X-Files on whatever nights we don't have any Netflix DVDs to watch. We bought seasons 3 and 4 of X-Files at least 2 months ago, and we're just getting to disc 3 of Season 4. :)

Good weekend!

So I made a LOT of headway on the first of my two big orders over the weekend. This involved, among other things, me going to a dollhouse shop, so that I could find a teensy little eggbeater and a teensy little toilet plunger. As it ended up, I found a suitable replacement for the latter option. But the dollhouse shop was CRAZY. I guess when you're selling tiny little things, you don't need a lot of space, but people do still need to walk around. In the aisles, there really wasn't room for two people to pass one another, which was awkward when there are 3-4 people shopping.



And the end result, of course, is very cute. :) For those who aren't as geeky as me, it's a Dalek, from Doctor Who. This little guy, however, is maybe 4 inches tall, rather than about 5 feet tall. I refuse to crochet anything that approaches my own height. :) And yeah, these will be going in the shop as soon as I can make time to make more of them... I bought extra dollhouse accessories so that I could make more. That'll save me from going to the claustrophobic store that involves taking two buses to get to, though it's probably not even 2 miles from where we live! :)

Aside from crocheting like a madwoman, we also got to do character creation for my Werewolf Wild West game, which is looking like it's going to be a blast. It's most of the same folks that we've been gaming with since last year, and they're always a great group to game with. Looks like we may be adding a fourth to the group, which will also be fun. Don't be surprised if I babble on about Werewolf stuff from time to time, though more often it'll probably be about 1850s history that I'm babbling about. :)

And we also got two more seasons of X-Files on DVD last night, because they were on sale. Of course, I told Jerome that we're finishing season two of Doctor Who first, and that's a big sacrifice for me, because the seasons we got of X-Files are 3 and 4... season 3 is my very favorite season, since a) that's when I started watching the show, and b) "Small Potatoes."

Just a few random things...

1) Lita, of WWE fame, is in a band called The Luchagores. Thanks to Cindy and Thor for that fun news. :)

2) There's a CD called Maiden Heaven: A Tribute to Iron Maiden that is currently being distributed with Kerrang magazine. If you have the chance to get your hands on it, I'd say do it. I've only heard a couple of the songs so far, and I honestly am not really an Iron Maiden fan. But what I've heard so far is good. :)

3) I still haven't seen National Treasure, but National Treasure 2 is mostly pretty good. I say mostly because there were a couple of things that had the history geek in me screaming, and also because I got distracted at the point where they're doing the "action" treasure hunter bits, and wandered off.

4) Hoping to go see X-Files either tonight or tomorrow night. I'm hoping for tonight, because I can't believe it's already been out 5 days and I haven't seen it yet. :)

5) At the Archives all week, possibly part of next week, and then definitely the week after that. And then I'm maybe going to Kansas. A lot. Sadly, the "a lot" part would be not Kansas City area. :(

Home again, home again..

My entire day today will be spent traveling. Not a terribly thrilling Friday, but ah well. It gets me home at the end, and that's what matters. :)

I realized that since I get back to Seattle late this evening, and then we're going to Nine Inch Nails tomorrow, we won't get to go see the new X-Files movie until sometime next week. That sucks. :( But when you weigh getting to see NIN with getting to see Mulder and Scully kiss ('bout damn time), I will go see Trent, even if he isn't the scrawny little goth boy that I loved when I first saw him. :)

What Spooky Being are You?

Sweet! :) He was on X-Files once! :) Cept I thought he was a mushroom-headed thing, then...

Can you tell I'm bored today? I'm sorta sorting through the old letter files, but it's really boring... really really boring... *sigh*...
