Meant to hit twiddle¹-5 and accidentally hit twiddle-4 instead, which lead me to this page instead of twitter, and yeah, I guess I can update this every once in a while, considering I've been hein^{2, 3} about actually doing so recently.

Soyeah. Am alive. Am working like an absolute madwoman --the four days before the 24th, and the two days after the 25th. Luckily the next week or so is better --I think I work the 29th, 30th, and...3rd, but have all the other lovely New Yearsish days off, which is nice. Work is...worky. Boring as all hell, but I get money, and slacking around with my assistant manager is fun. (This is not to say I dislike my other coworkers, they're just not as entertaining as Phyllis.

Pretty much everything I've been doing outside of work is watching TV and playing Nethack. Veronica and I have gotten through the second season of Buffy. I would do some babbling/spec about what's gonna happen next, but, see, everyone on my entire friendslist has probably either seen all the Buffy they want to, or have no interest in seeing any of it, meaning they either already know what happens, or don't care. Damnit.

Oh, but the Middleman! The Middleman is something that most non-Talia⁴ people haven't seen, and I've only seen three episodes thus far, and a little out of order, but *oh*, is it wonderful. The main character is a bit of a dreamboat who swears using gosh darn it all to heckism, non-ironically, and it's terribly cute! And he likes milk!!

So yes, go watch The Middleman. It is excellence.

Um. Yeah. That's life. I don't even have dance to babble about right now, because I'm in placething -Maryland!- and there isn't weekly dancing here, merely every other week. Le sigh, and stuff.

Goddamnit, I used to be so good at writing clever, witty, essaythings. Whatever happened to that? If growing up means turning boring, perhaps it's not as good a thing as I've been lead to believe.

MOOP!

1: Okay, technically I mean command. I'm slightly uncertain why I steadfastly continue to call it the twiddle key --I think it's a momism or something.

2: hein = heinous. Call it watching too much Buffy, my language tends to take on a little bit of the scansion of whatever media influence I've had most of recently.⁵ I originally picked hein up from the Lauren/Emily duo.

3: Well, I mean, more hein than usual. Considering that I last posted, oh, two days ago, I don't think there's any worry that I'm still around and minorly obsessed with this thing.

4: Non-Talia, mom, Keith, Eric (Maccytu), Magus, and whoever else has had it forced upon them.

5: Reading the Catcher in the Rye was hell for me for a couple days until my internal monologue got back to semi-normal. Nethack simplifies my voice, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea⁶ steampunkifies it a bit, and Buffy makes me start to do a little tiny bit of the Buffyspeak. (obligatory warning: TVTropes will ruin your life.

6: Oh yeah, did I mention I'm reading that? Old school science fiction for the wins. I picked it up at the store one day because I was bored and needed something to read, and found myself totally engrossed. I'm only up to chapter ten or eleven or so, but damn, Jules Verne could apparently write.

The Middleman is the best thing since whatever came before sliced bread. I would have its babies were I capable of breeding with a TV show.

You know that feeling when you're walking down the stairs and you misjudge how many steps there are and stop paying attention and you try to walk down a step that isn't there?

That's what it feels like to me when you open a parenthetical statement and don't close it.

Orcman is a computer program?

[thorog.livejournal.com]

No, but I'm halfway through the next paragraph when I realise I shouldn't be reading it sotto voce.

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

See, I was a dick and everything and even noticed that I didn't close it. And then I still didn't close it.

What the hell are you quoting?

XKCD, with modifications.

The Middleman is (well, was) amazingly awesome. I watched it as it aired, and am dying to own it on DVD so I can inflict it upon absolutely everyone I know because it is awesome.

I was told months ago that The Middleman is amazing and that I should watch it. It's on my computer, I just haven't taken the steps to start watching yet, despite the occasional gentle reminders from the person who told me about it.

I know of The Middleman. My company from this summer did the promotion for it. Never saw it though.

It's okay -- I still call it open-apple. (Posting from an iPod in a wifi hotspot in a grocery store.)

[tirerim.livejournal.com]

I just call it apple, but I do think of the three finger salute as control-apple-reset.

I actually still need to see the parts of the third season of Buffy that I missed when it was on.

Where are you getting Middleman eps? I ask because I'm willing to buy you the whole series on iTunes. I know ABC is watching the numbers bought, which could affect the possibility of a season 2 and a Blu-Ray release. Should dig up that pic of me with Natalie Morales.

Mom has them all on her ipod, but that's useless to me and my boyfriend when we get back to Boston and want to watch them. If you're really truly willing, I will squee like a little girl and totally accept that.

Andyeah. Helping to tip the balance towards a season two is totally important to my continued happiness. In the meantime, I'm like...four episodes from the end. I want to finish it so bad, but at the same time, ohnoes, no more!
