OK, so, anyone besides me can't get LJ to cooperate this week? I've been able to manage just one comment and one post this week, and those only came from switching to Chrome. And that was a really marginal improvement. I've had a lot of trouble with the compie this week, it's fully updated, turned it on and off a few times, cleared the cache, Norton says all clear, but it's still cranky. Eesh.

I passed on Menygwacon, I'm exhausted, the weather is lousy and I'm just not up to driving a distance in 'mixed precipitation' and then dealing with their crazy neighbors and certain unpleasant gamers. So instead I took down and put away all the Christmas decorations (before you say it's early, Mom wanted them down on Christmas), and then sat down to mainline 'Homeland'. I have all of that and Dexter recorded and waiting for marathons, and today I watched six straight eps. I'd like to finish it tomorrow except football will likely get in the way, but I should be able to finish all of both shows by the time I go back to work Wednesday. Meanwhile, 

it takes some balls to waltz in and blow away an FBI task force. Meeps.

If you haven't seen the first 3 eps of Dexter Season 6, run, run away! Quickly!

OK, for starters:

( Spoilers Abound )

Went to work, nothing special happened, finished last night's dinner, skipped tonight's dinner because not hungry, now watching Dexter. No big deal of a day, but nothing out of hand either. Did treat myself to Haagen Daaz Bananas Foster ice cream though :)

A few mostly spoilerly thoughts on this week's ep:

( Spoilers and Speculation )

Yes, I'm back. And I will get to my vacation, but I have plenty of little things I wanted to get out of my system.

Yesterday at the convenience store: an older woman comes in and berates the 'useless people' (me included) 'wasting money' on lottery tickets. Then she buys cigarettes. Pot, please meet kettle.

Feeling old again: the office's soon-to-be attorney was given a form to type. After staring at the typewriter for a few minutes, he came to my desk and 'fessed up that he's never used a typewriter in his life and has no idea how it works. He can't even figure out how to put paper in. I'm so old.

( Supernatural - teensy vague spoiler )On a related note, we will try to actually go to the movies this weekend and see the Michael Moore film. It's my way of flipping the bird to right wingers without straining my poor little fingers.

On a lark, I picked the Detroit Lions to beat the Washington Racial Slurs last Sunday. 'scuse me while I enjoy my giggles at the expense of the office's Washington fan.

Speaking of which:

Just heard that Michael C Hall and Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter and Debra Morgan on 'Dexter', see my icon) have gotten married. To each other.

Now, while I realize that 'Dexter' is a TV show and it's not real, it's still going to be awfully squicky to watch a husband/wife play brother/sister.

I hate colds. Especially colds that get worse over the weekend instead of better. My voice is just about shot and sleeping has been very dicey, and if my nose gets any redder I can be Rudolph. Blecch.
