Relax; take it easy...

For the first time in a really long while, I'm loving Peter and his storyline. I love the interactions he's having with the other characters he's met, and I really hope they continue in a similar vein with him.

The only character I'm iffy on is Matt. I get the whole Jekyll/Hyde thing they're doing with him, but it remains to be seen how that pans out.

Lastly, I'm so glad it's on at 8 o'clock. I picked up a full-time job in August (yay!), and I just can't stay awake and focused on really detail-oriented shows beyond 9 pm (I know, I know - Go to bed, old lady!). I used to dream of moving to the Central Time Zone just so that I could watch things as they aired an hour earlier. Now, I don't have to! :D

In other news, there's a nifty Eagle Cam that you can watch. Situated in New Jersey, it's a Ustream.tv video of nesting bald eagles. There were three eggs in the nest this weekend, and one of the eggs hatched yesterday. So far I've been able to watch the parent eagles take turns sitting on the nest and feed the baby. They had dragged a huge fish up to the nest yesterday, and this afternoon it looked like there was a squirrel. And the baby eagle is an adorable little fluffball, if you get the chance to see it. More often than not, one of the parents is sitting on it. It'll be interesting to see if either of the two eggs that are left end up hatching.

Oh, and look at that. I can embed it:

Of course, it's dark out now, but be sure to check it out tomorrow, East Coast time (GMT -4).

I really hope we get another season of Chuck next year. :)

Also, I plan on getting caught up on Heroes fic and the like hopefully beginning this weekend. After last night's show (which was a heck of a lot of fun, too), I'm kinda feeling the love for fannish things again. :)

I hope you all got to see the Heroes football commercial - so adorable! I was not expecting John Elway... :D

It's Friday, I'm not working today (goodbye, old job! >:D), and it's pouring. I should be writing out my Christmas cards, but I like to keep up my tradition of having my cards always being the last to arrive. (...what?)

( Heroes - 3x12 - Our Father )

Wow, I shouldn't try to type this stuff while highly caffeinated...

So! Is it next week yet? :D

So here are some random thoughts which just wanted to spill from my head this evening.

1.) I have a hang up about eggnog. I once swallowed a mouthful of the most vile, rancid eggnog that was in the back of the fridge for a couple of weeks when I was a kid, and I can't stand the stuff now. Just looking at the cartons even gives me chills, thus making grocery shopping an adventure during the holidays. :P

2.) If you look outside tonight just as the sun sets, you'll see both Jupiter and Venus hanging out next to the moon. It's pretty cool looking as I type this. : )

3.) I'm pysched that it's Monday because it means it's my TV indulgence night (though I did watch Meet the Press Sunday morning... c'mon, I need to check out once in a while, too :P). So I'm ready for Chuck and Heroes. I'm staying far away from boards and comms about Heroes, too - I'm so tired of all the hysterical flailing. They're TV shows. The success of the world doesn't hinge on whether or not fiction works out the way you hoped it would, folks. (And stop raining on my parade, goddammit!)

4.) I could, however, gripe about some of the mind-numbing cliches I see in fanfic all the time, but I'm in a good mood at the moment. Maybe later.

5.) Saturday I'm taking my Dad to see BB King over in Trenton (the blues singer/guitarist for those who aren't familiar) for his Christmas present. Looks like it's going to be a fun night out. :D

6.) Also... wow, December. Yeah, I don't have a whole lot to say about that except, wow. Here already. (!) I absolutely love the holiday season, and my mom promised to remain cheerful and positive in the weeks leading up to Christmas this year, which, if she can do it, will make things ten million times better. I'm going to do everything I can to help her achieve that, too.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Guess who's flying out to visit tomorrow?

seraphtrevs!

I'm so excited!

And Book Two: Spring is complete! Remember, it is now rated NC-17. >:D

We've just under two weeks until the next new episode of the show airs; I plan on rereading both books to help me through the drought ahead. : )

In other news, I bought an album off of iTunes called Prayers for Diwali (Morning and Evening), and it's one of the most relaxing collections of music I've ever listened to. Highly recommended.

Oh, good, they're back. Phillies! :D

Tomorrow is World Zombie Day! I know it's odd, as anyone irl who knows me also knows that zombies terrify me. I think this is a way of confronting my fear.

To celebrate, I might go paging through the undeadheroes community. It's been pretty slow lately (read: dead), but there's at least one good story that I've read there before: Apocalypse by biggerbeans. It's a work-in-progress, but well worth the look if you like Molly, Matt, and Mohinder taking on the forces of darkness. :D
