Yup. It's time for another blog entry that hits multiple frequencies. Dogs, cover your ears!
[-] Since last Thursday was Hall...er, Thanksgiving, I was unable to watch The Shield. (Episode 5.09, "Smoked", for those of you keeping track) But! Since we always repeat last week's episode the following week, today I was able to watch 2! Huzzah!!
During one scene (I think during "Smoked") I found myself literally sitting on the edge of my chair, and my heart was pounding so fast that I became aware of it. Man. The freaking Shield owns me. What am I going to do in 2 weeks when the season 5 finale gets to me and then we go back to season 1?!? I don't want to think about it.
[-] I have another Project that I really should do some work on. The Project, of course, is still my main focus, but this other one... I've done bits and pieces of stuff for it in the past, but never gotten it off the ground. I keep telling myself, "Once the new year rolls around..." but, seriously, why wait?
[-] CNN Headline News should not exist. It truly does not serve a purpose. Well, I mean, annoyance. But can't we get that from plenty of other things in this life? Yes. Yes we can.
[-]
[-] I am in need of a haircut soon. It's been about 3 months since my last one, and the P@fro is getting unwieldy again.
[-] Harper is awesome. She can always make me laugh, no matter how crappy I may be feeling. Her latest thing is, after she says something funny (or surreal, or just... Harper) and I am giggling, to ask, "Was it something I said?"
The girl really could have a future in comedy.
[-] There's a guy at work who is ...hard to explain. It's almost as if... you know how in nearly every sitcom there's a character that has a one-track mind of sex? They're like the letch who always finds sexual innuendo in whatever situation maybe going on. Like The Todd from Scrubs, or (and I'm dating myself here) Dan from Night Court or Sam from Cheers.
Well, this guy is like them. Only... not funny?
Anyway, I've decided that I shouldn't put up with his sexual "jokes" and innuendos and derogatory misogynistic comments anymore. (He has extreme issues with any woman that is "overweight".)
But. Um. I don't know how to stop it. I mean, Bill has been ...Bill, for 8 years now. (Well, I mean, he's been Bill for longer than that, but he's been at the station for that long, and we've all just kind of accepted that he is who he is.) But really. It's gross. And ...Eh. I don't know. I think what I'm going to (hopefully) do is simply stop talking to him about anything nonwork related, and leave the room anytime that he brings up any sort of stories about his dating-website escapades, or whathaveyou.
[-] Our Pilgrim Mii ranked in the 9th level! (Out of 10, with 10 being the best) Dude! That's awesome!!
[-] 49 degrees outside when I get in to work... and the air conditioner is on. Sometimes I do. not. understand. people.
[-] And it's not just Bill. I am going to attempt to remove myself from any misogynistic beliefs that raise their ugly heads at work (or elsewhere). It's incredibly disturbing how prevalent they are, though. But the whole smiling politely and nodding (or laughing, even!) is bothering me now.
[-] Once the finale of Heroes airs next week, I'm done with that show. I've been wanting to quit it for a while, and last week was really really bad, but there's just one more episode to go, and stopping now would be almost dumb. (Hey, maybe I'd be able to be a character on the show!)
[-] Hmm. I'm getting hungry.
[-] Brains are mysterious awesome things.
[-] The average person (American?) complains 70 times a day, according to some survey...according to the morning djs on a radio station from a few weeks back. (I'm just sayin that I have no idea where this 'fact' comes from. I don't doubt that many people (Americans?) do complain that many times a day. I just can't confirm who compiled this information.)
[-] Tomorrow is the last day of NaNoThingY. Two questions. 1) Should I keep blogging once December rolls around? 2) What should I blog about tomorrow?
[-] It's almost 6pm. I think I'm going to go work on The Project now.

That's what she said.
Um. Seriously, though. As a person of the female persuasion, I think it's really cool that you've made this conscious decision. It's totally a widespread, systemic issue, and that means it's totally daunting. That's what the internet is for, though! The internet can provide you with much great (and infuriating literature).
What with the German dude, though?
I vote blog!
I like Headline News because they have the morning anchor that is the least annoying to me in that dark time before I've had enough coffee.
I've got about six episodes of Heroes backed up on TiVo, but I haven't been able to muster up the enthusiasm to watch them.
Definitely keep blogging! Although, I know I'm feeling NaBlo burnout, so I wouldn't blame you for taking a break.
You... don't like Heroes any more? [/tiny voice]
I am still a slavering fangirl, but I have to admit that they have made mistakes this season (and Tim Kring has apologized for them, which is noble). Still, I have been thoroughly enjoying most of it. Except when there's not enough of you-know-who. [wink wink]
Bill sounds like a major arsehole, and I'm glad you're at least thinking about how to avoid his nastier comments. It can be bloody hard to stand up against that kind of thing, but it is doable. And it gets easier once you decide you're not putting up with it any more.
