one more miracle

This weekend just whizzed by! It didn't help that I spent Saturday afternoon in the lab, but still. Whoosh! Bye! In five minutes it's Monday! *hands*

I'm still devouring The Big Bang Theory. Every time the theme song starts up I clap and sing along because it's SO CATCHY. "We built a wall - we built the pyramids!" *dances around* Toward the beginning of the song, does it say "The autotrophs began to drool"??? Ahahaha. OH SHOW. Penny's baffled and fond tolerance is so adorable. I feel you, girl! ♥ I just watched the one where Sheldon gets sick and the guys avoid him at ALL COSTS. Hilarity.

Today I went to see HBP again. In the process of discussing it with my uncle and cousin, I discovered that my uncle and I are just going to have to agree to disagree on some things. He thinks that Twilight is a great movie, while the Harry Potter movies have been largely "yucky" (though he did like this one). UM!?! Uhhhh yeah. *facepalm*

I enjoyed it again, though I still acutely feel the lack of a more climactic ending. (I read the end of book 6 when I got home and I would have LOVED to see that on screen.) Basically I spend a lot of the movie gazing at Hermione with great fondness. She's SO PRETTY. My crush is epic. I know I can't be 100% straight because I crush SO HARD on female characters, and often can't wrench my eyes away from them - Hermione, Faith, Scully, STARBUCK. We watched Razor today (the BSG movie) and Starbuck is relatively minor but she always captivates me! Basically, I tend to fangirl male-male (and sometimes male-female) relationships, but my crushes are very very often on the gorgeous, competent women. Love love. ♥

When I was in the lab on Saturday, Ashley (coworker) showed up and I found out that one of our labmates had been in a terrible motorcycle accident. He was hit by a car and his leg got terribly crushed, as well as a lung punctured. He was in surgery then, but I haven't heard anything since because I don't know him pretty much at all and I don't want to pester anyone, so I suppose I'll find out tomorrow. I hope he's okay. :(

I'm mostly posting just to post. I always feel weird when I go longer than a day without posting! Sorry I really don't have much to say. I am caught up on my flist though, for now!

Oh, one thing I can share! This adorable apocalyptothon story: The Chainsaw Job by annerbhp. It's a short, adorable Leverage story about how they'd deal with the zombiepocalypse. Love!

Meme snagged from fragglebo:

What five character deaths affected you the most? (SPOILERS for Serenity, HP 5, BtVS S2, SPN S2, and BSG S3)

( Get out the tissues. )

I FINISHED FARSCAPE! :O I did a mini marathon last night, plowing through the end of S4, then Brad drove down and we watched the miniseries this morning/afternoon. It was amazing! I oddly don't have that much to say, but... I loved it. It was satisfying, fun, exhilarating, unpredictable, and all around one hell of a ride. John and Aeryn are so in love it makes me ache, and everyone is just so wonderful *squishes them all*

Brad is the adorable gay guy that I have mentioned before, and want to know what's AWESOME? He's a SLASHER! Hahaha! Specifically of Braca/Scorpius, which is HILARIOUS. He said things like "Braca was totally jealous when Scorpius and Sikozu were doing their thing" and "Look who's saving Braca now!" and many other things and oh man. I almost broke something laughing. FANTASTIC.

So, um. That's that! It was amazing, and I'm so glad I experienced it. Thank you to everyone who forced me to watch it :)

From top to bottom: mine, roommate's girlfriend's, and roommate's. We are AWESOME.

I am, as you can see, about halfway done. It's so GOOD! *beams*

I also received two OTHER exciting packages today. I know, the postal service just loves me! :D I got my Prisoner of Azkaban DVD (I thought I'd lost mine, but my brother found it, but now we both have copies so it's all good!) and a bag of candy from my lovelies Robin and Mel over in NYC! Not nearly so sweet as BEING with them, but almost as good, and the postcard made me giggle my head off :D

I declare today a WIN! *goes back to bury head in Potter the Seventh*

I have started the column from hell and I want to cry. This is the same material that kept me here until 6:30, and it wasn't even pure after all that. I changed the solvent but it doesn't seem to be helping! WOE!

On the bright side, I seem to have fought off the incipient illness with OJ, multivitamins, and lots of water. Er. Maybe. Perhaps I speak too soon.

Oh my god Friday be OVER already.

On another bright side, SHOOOOOOOEBOX! I finally made myself an icon! *HEARTS* Puppies!!

Flist! I need help!

See, it's like this. I got Half Blood Prince at midnight, read the entire thing straight, sobbed my brains out at the end, but overall just didn't like the book. Thus, I haven't even picked it up since, and it's been an entire year. So my memory is a wee bit fuzzy on some stuff, and I was helping you could fill in the gaps.

( What I remember... (warning: some bitterness here, apologies) )

I'm so glad OOTP the movie reinvigorated my love for HP, because OMG SO EXCITED FOR SATURDAY!!! *flailyhands* SO SOON SO SOON.
