"I made you a member of my wolf pack."

→ NBC is going to start airing episodes of Merlin starting mid-June. I've heard some scuttlebutt about the show on the BBC boards (where I troll, ineffectually, hoping to gain some kind of broad spectrum Anglo influence) and I'm kind of looking forward to it. It's definitely better than what I have been watching lately. My god, you guys, I'm such a sucker for reality television these days. I'm watching Expedition Africa, Intervention, Obsessed, The Next Food Network Star, Chopped, and Dinner: Impossible. I will pretty much watch whatever is on the Food Network. I have dreams -- actual dreams -- about being one of the panel judges on Iron Chef America. Yes, mom, I do have enough food in the apartment.

→ Todd and I saw The Hangover today. Hilarious. This week we're also planning on seeing Angels & Demons and The Lost World. So far this year, we've saved over $100 on movie tickets alone. Todd might come home crying because of the chemical burns he gets from the popcorn popper, but it all evens out. FREE MOVIES: WOO!

→ Money woes. 'Got some help from my parents, but I might end up having to get a second job to get through the summer. I have a little over $2100 saved toward my Simple IRA, but borrowing against it is pretty much a tax trap. I'll only go there as a last resort. I don't exactly miss my salaried job, but I do miss the money it brought in. It was nice to know there was a constant, consistent source of money for me to rely on. And yeah, I'm realistic: I know that things aren't always going to be difficult, that Hallmark isn't the end of the line for me, and that someday I'm going to be able to buy Pop Tarts without considering them a "luxury item." If nothing else, being strapped for cash has taught me to be more careful with my money. You know, foregoing books in favour of gas for my car. That kind of thing.

→ So cryptictac has been watching LOST lately and it makes me want to go back and give the series another try. I stopped watching after they revealed what was in the hatch. But I'm dubious, because I keep hearing that the current season is so convoluted that you practically have to keep a notebook to track what's going on.

If you're wanting a Californication/Duchov fix, I'll hook you up. :)

I'd love that! I have the first season on DVD. Did you see him on Conan tonight?

[another-myself.livejournal.com]

I didn't! I didn't know he was on! Was he yummy?

[katernater.livejournal.com]

I sort of stumbled upon him, myself. Oh, he was witty and charming as always. Conan asked him about The X-Files and David admitted that his fans know more about Mulder's background than he does.

[another-myself.livejournal.com]

I think your knowledge of Mulder far surpasses everyone else's. There's never been a Mulder to a Scully like you are to mine. And something about Duchovny's voice and that zillion-watt smile just smacks me in the chest and makes my heart all fluttery.

I apologize for none of this.

I've been wanting to do a S1-9 rewatch, but I keep getting sidetracked by other shows. I should really commit.

[another-myself.livejournal.com]

Will my promising to partake with you assist in said commitment?

[katernater.livejournal.com]

I haven't even cracked the plastic wrap on season 9. I'm such a terrible fangirl. XD

[another-myself.livejournal.com]

Tcht, not at all. Season 9 is one major headache, with one fantastic Truthmaking finale.

Ha? Ha?

[katernater.livejournal.com]

Well, there is that.

[another-myself.livejournal.com]

And quite possibly a little bit of this.

[katernater.livejournal.com]

That's right. :D

[another-myself.livejournal.com]

So season 9 isn't all bad. I think that Trust No. 1 was one of my favourites out of it. Twisted my heart all up on itself.
