and they're all made out of ticky-tacky and they all look just the same.

1. George Carlin is dead at 71. =( More bad news. He was brilliant and will be deeply missed.

2. I had a bit of a slow weekend. I got my hedges trimmed, because they were ridiculously high and uneven, by this kid who is saving up to buy a car. He did a good job, but he's such a little nerd. He kept knocking on my door to show me his tools. (Him: "see this?? this can cut through a two-by-four." Me: "Oh, cool..." *checks watch again*)

3. The rest of my weekend was spent RPing and watching three seasons of Weeds. That, my friends, is a great show. I love Showtime. I had a couple RP threads that I enjoyed, whether light and fun with puppies and Gryffindor reunions, or intense and a bit draining. Still majorly enjoying the game. *bounces around*

4. I want to do some writing this week, so some of those drabbles from a week ago will hopefully get posted over the next few days.

5. I went the whole weekend without watching cable news. I'm reaching a critical mass and might need a bit of a break. I never learn anything important from the MSM, anyway; if you want news, you have to work to find it. On a related note, the internet blogs I haunt are giving me a bit of chicken-little syndrome. But I need to toughen up and get over it. I'm going to stay cryptic about that because I don't usually post about political stuff. We'll see if I can keep that up through November. Oye.

6. I have the new Coldplay and Death Cab for Cutie albums and am enjoying them both. Both of them have a lot more production than I'm used to seeing from earlier albums. Especially the Coldplay one; just a lot going on, and makes me nostalgic for the quieter, more bare-bones quality of their first album. Still, I really enjoy Coldplay; they're a bit pretentious, but they still have that sound that just fills up your chest when you turn it up loud. :) And Death Cab is brilliant. of course.

7. Oh! Also. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is sexy and adorable and a little bit crazy and I love him. See the vid for floppy-haired evidence.

How are you guys? ♥
