i feel stupid, and contagious

+ I haven't posted in a bit, hi hi! Miss you guys - I've kind of sucked at commenting the past couple weeks except here and there, but I'm reading along. It's getting impossible to keep up with my reading list without filtering out the communities entirely. Sometimes I go days just reading the journals filter, so I know I miss a lot of community posts. I should remove them, but every time I start to, I hesitate. WHAT IF I NEED THEM. I did remove most of the Inception comms the other day. I never click on anything anymore; I usually seek out fic recs on delicious or similar (or you guys, haha) when I want to read something. THAT WAS A SHORT FANDOM. Fortunately I am still in the fandom of following JGL wherever he goes. That one's still going strong.

+ I am on tumblr quite a bit though, so feel free to hit me up there!

+ I think I'm going to need my passport in December, and I can't find it. fffuuuuuuUUUuuuu. There should be time to replace it, but that shit costs about $140. brb turning my house over again.

+ Have to dog-sit for a week starting this weekend. Guys I really miss my dog. :(

+ I have read nary a Big Bang fic yet. :/ I will get to them! Plan on dumping them on my Kindle and starting this weekend, hopefully. I've heard many good things.

+ Sons of Anarchy is back! And Mad Men is in full swing, and so brilliant this season I can't even handle it sometimes.

+ New Vampire Diaries tonight! And Nikita, which I'm quite curious about. I love a lot of Brit shows but you gotta love American network TV for the short wait between seasons. Feels like the last season just ended. Anyway, looking forward to those, and Community, Fringe, Dexter, Boardwalk Empire, Undercovers, The Walking Dead... lots of stuff, basically. And Merlin starts on Saturday! FINALLY. I need Pendragons and Mor/Mor back in my life. I imagine I'll start posting about Merlin a lot starting this weekend.

What's everyone looking forward to watching?

So this whole Christmas tree thing? SO much more complicated than it needs to be. My own fault, of course.

I'm pretty sure the tree I got was meant to be put into the ground and not into a stand in my living room. It came with the trunk buried in dirt and wrapped in this burlap stuff. I thought, at the store, 'fine, it's buried in dirt so they can water it before it gets sold. I'll just take it out of the dirt when I get home and set it up. This is the supermarket, they wouldn't make it that complicated.'

Uh, yes, they would. The roots and everything? Definitely still on the tree. I had to buy a saw and chop them all off, and am now trying to taper the end so it'll sit in the stand without looking like the leaning tree of Pisa or something. And my lower back and arms are sore. If I'd wanted to pluck an evergreen out of the ground and deal with it from scratch, I could have done so without spending $45. My parents have some teeny ones at their house I think.

*whines* See, if I had my own Neville, this wouldn't be a problem.

At least my whole house smells like pine now. Come to that, so do I.

Oh well, at least I'll know for next year, and get one that's actually pre-cut.

Don't laugh; it's not funny. XP
