The Inmates Run the Asylum

Happy birthday, one_more_cherry! Welcome to thirty. Trust me, it's all good.

Much love!

( NCIS...So, how was your summer? )

( NCIS: LA...I realize that you grew up in the welfare state, but just because you are an orphan doesn't mean you have to dress like Oliver Twist. )

In other news, I am now in possession of hours of Bruce Campbell, thanks to one_more_cherry. There's a marathon in my future. I can feel it.

I got sucked into watching some awful Judd Nelson/Kristy Swanson SyFy movie. The badness and Judd Nelson's hair were truly mesmerizing.

It was like someone decided they wanted to make a movie about a black hole, but felt it wasn't enough for a two hour film, so he added in bits of an unfinished script about an electicity monster and set the whole thing in St. Louis.

Someone actually said, "The air is gusting."

If that doesn't put the badness into perspective, nothing I say will.

I kinda wish I taped it, though, because it is ripe for MiSTing. I had some great jokes going and I only watched an hour of it.

Speaking of badness, I taped Man with a Screaming Brain last night and I think I'm going to watch it tomorrow. I can't think of a better thing to do with my Sunday.

one_more_cherry and gypsyjr, sorry I couldn't make it on AIM to chat tonight. It took me an hour to post this entry because the Internet kept flaking out on me. Maybe next week.

one_more_cherry sent me a whole bunch of Sam and Maddy icons, so I've been playing with them, adding text and whatnot, and making a few of my own. Missy's like a crack dealer in a way.

Speaking of, Missy, let me know if you wouldn't mind doing a little more icon dirty work for me. *bats eyeslashes*

Also, if anyone knows a good place for NCIS screencaps, let me know. My skills in this area are weak and I'm coming up with some stuff, but not everything that I'm looking for.

I really probably could have put this day to better use.

I quit smoking.

I didn't quit today. It's actually taken about 60 days to reach this point as I've weaned myself off of them. Actually, it's been 20 days since my last smoke. I'm doing okay.

I'm not going to tell you that I'm doing great. I'm not going to tell you that I feel wonderful since I quit. I can't tell you that I've joined the cult of reformed smokers that wants every other smoker in the world to quit too. None of that is true.

I quit, not because of my health, but because it was too expensive. I liked smoking. I miss it. But now I'm done with it and it makes me sad. And as much as I liked it, I don't see myself starting up again. Quitting was tough and I don't want to do it again. I've always planned to quit at some point and the opportunity presented itself sooner than I really wanted, but I took it and now I'm done.

And that's the end of that. Let us never speak of it again.

In other news, I'm getting addicted to Burn Notice and I blame one_more_cherry and Carrie.

I've only watched two episodes, but now I feel the need for icons. That's the first sign of addiction right there.

Missy, I expect you to be helping me out with that. You owe me, you crack pusher.
