Set the clocks ahead 1 one hour last night and be late to work? Please don't tell me it was only me. I was so mad at myself because I normally set them before 2am! I was a cranky girl at work for the first few hours. Had a chocolate chip muffin and then all was OK with the world (aka, it wasn't the end of it.)
Just got done eating more junk food (Wendy's) and am watching some more episodes of "Bones". I love how he is so willing to do stuff for her, at risk to himself. And the episode where they were dancing to Foreigner's "Hot-Blooded" was hilarious.
It's late but I'm too wired to go to bed. Work again tomorrow.
Back to notes on "Bones":
1. It has given me some laugh out loud moments.
2. Why I'm digging this show and have no interest in "CSI" (I watched the first season when it first started airing but never went back for more) is curious. Both have to do with forensics & crime (and I was a huge fan of "Crossing Jordan) Hmm, I will have to think about this.
3. I like how "Brennan" stands up for herself and the truth.
4. Another bonus to watching online...no or few ads.
5. So it's almost the end of the first season and there has been no sign or word of "Booth's" girlfriend "Tess" since the first couple of episodes in. Will they ever explain her disappearance - do they officially break up or are we supposed to believe that she never existed? (Hmm, google this?)
6. "Booth" is a moody one isn't he? Or is that just passion?
7. Ooh, the guy from "Leverage"! I like when I recognize actors from other shows. Is that weird?
8. Ooh, I think they just had their first minor fight.
9. I like how they move the action along. More noticeable when you watch episode after episode after episode (and thank goodness for that when you watch episode after episode after episode!)
So it'll be interesting to see how their relationship develops into a romantic one -if at all. I do find relationships, love relationships especially, fascinating. I read a lot of romances as a teen and I'm sure that has made me have high expectations for them. Then again, it's not wrong to want to believe that you could fall in love with someone and only want to be with them.
Anyway, I'm up to the 2nd episode of the 2nd season and whoa, do they have a lot of ground to cover. I understand "Angela" and "Hodgins" have a relationship at some point during the series and they've only just started hinting at that.
B has been gone but now he's back. I'm so happy! I've missed him something fierce though think I did a pretty good job of keeping busy. How can you not miss (and love) a guy who totally gets you and lets you be yourself?
I wonder how much longer it'll take me to get caught up to current episodes (because of course I will keep going until I've seen them all!) It'll help that I returned most of the library books without 'gasp' reading them. I never do that but it was just too much pressure. I'll check 'em out again someday.
Ugh, work in 10 hours. I suppose I ought to think about crashing soon. I do try to get about 8 hours sleep. That is always my goal, even if it's sleep that starts around 4am.
g'night.
Musings from a big and beautiful sometimes "drama queen" on her current state of existence
What's It All About?
"The unexamined life is not worth living." Socrates
While you’re here, in this time and in this space, you are beautiful and you are perfect.
You are right where you need to be to get to where you want to go, so start asking yourself where you want to go.
