Quick post.

I need to reboot my computer (my soundcard is odd. I usually have to cold boot my laptop again, after turning it on, to get the sound to work.), but I'm currently downloading How I Met Your Mother -- the pilot of Alyson Hannigan's new show. I'm also keeping an eye out for Kitchen Confidential's pilot, starring Bradley Cooper and with ... wow, I totally blanked on Nicholas Brendan for a minute and nearly typed Xander Harris. Woo. Buffyverse habits die hard.

Weeds 1x07 is up for download, so I'll be grabbing that as soon as I reboot. Oh, I love this time of year. I watched Las Vegas' season premiere (and have a lot of questions) and now HIMYM and soon KC and then Weeds...

Enough TV. School was awesome today. I nailed a few things in Italian class (and I found a podcast I ADORE! Paolo in America! It's great, it's Italian, and I listen to it on my way to Italian so that I'll be in the right mindset for Italian.) and then went to English, where we were asked to REWRITE Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky.

That is, replace all the words that aren't "real" words with ones that ARE "real". So basically, I massacred Jabberwocky, and I have guilt for rewriting Lewis Carroll. That said, I don't think my version of Jabberwocky was all that bad. Hopefully. :)

Rebooting time! More later, doubtlessly.

Laziness and lethargy have won.

I was going to go get my hair cut today, because it's gotten annoyingly shaggy and long.

And then I didn't feel like moving.

And then the clouds rolled in and the wind started up.

I'm going to relax, watch Kitchen Confidential, then clean up my apartment. Particularly tidying up the living room and the kitchen.

And while I do that, I will be burning shit off my HD to CD because holy crap, I have no room left on my drive at ALL, and while that was okay during the summer, it's TV SEASON now.

Plus I want to buy the new Sims 2 expansion pack, and dear Lord, that's going to be like, another gig, I'm sure.

<checks weather> Thundershowers! Oh, the joy! I'm so glad I'm inside.

This pointless post brought to you by laziness, lethargy and still not enough sleep.

Entry tags:

Zucchinis.

So my favoured newscast's idiot weather guy (I hate him) holds a yearly zucchini contest. Have the biggest zucchini, win $1000 at a grocery store or something.

The latest entry was a 64 inch tall zucchini.

That's 5'4".

I am 5'4".

I don't know if I'm more depressed by the fact that a zucchini is as tall as I am, or more depressed by the fact that I am not taller than a zucchini.
