New tags.  And new tags.  Cuz I'm bored at work and decided I needed to do some sorting of my LJ.

So, if you will take your gaze to your right, you shall see:

awesome - vague tag that will be attached to things that I find to be awesome (or, as Michael Bay would say, AWESOME)

books - because seriously?  I had a tag for movies and games but didn't have a book tag before?

dollhouse - pretty self-explanatory.  Here's hoping I'll be able to use it a month from now, though.

politics - gonna be tiny, cuz I try my best to avoid it here, but it might get some play every now and then.

world of booze - cuz if I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it RIGHT.

The first night in a month that I remember to watch Dollhouse, and it gets pre-empted by back-to-back Prison Breaks.  Rrrrrgh

I know I shouldn't complain, since my teeth end up pretty damn good compared to my friends and/or fam, but LORD amighty that appointment took too long this morning.  Easily THE chattiest hygenist I've ever been with.  And not in a good way.  Talk at me for two minutes, scrape for thirty seconds, pull back and talk for another minute, scrape another thirty seconds.  Swear to God, I would have gotten out of there ten minutes earlier if she would have at least WORKED while she was talking at me.

I guess some dentists just enjoy having a captive audience.

Not a low-key weekend last weekend.  Not a high-key one, either.  It was just a key weekend.  BBQ and laundry with the fam on Saturday, a subpar gathering with some theatre folk Saturday night.  I left after an hour, I was the youngest there by a good fifteen years on average, and none of the people who decided to show were close buddies.

Sunday I did the Easter Buffet thing with my friend hear_my_song_07 .  Granite City does Sunday buffet goooood and souped it up a bit more for the big E.  I also discovered that the assistant who gets a coffee pot smashed over his head on the fifth season of Angel went to high school with me.

Rented Bolt last night.  Good stuff, it's going on my buy list.  Watched Dollhouse on Saturday morning cuz, again, I forgot that it was on Friday night.  This is me not paying attention to TV, apparently, when I completely forget about the one show that I DO want to watch.

It's getting good still, by the way.  I dunno how far back the episodes go on Fox and Hulu, but if you're into Whedon at all I say give it a shot.  Dushku's the weak link in the cast by far, but the others are picking up the pace.  Sierra, Victor, and Boyd are great, and I came out of this last episode actually appreciating Dominic, which is a surprising thing to say considering how much I loathed him up until the end of this ep.

Finally, I finished a chapter and am ready to start up on the next.  Unfortunately, I'm having major conflicting issues writing a chapter ( SPOILER ).  I'm trying very VERY hard not to let one affect the creation of the other.

This is possibly the strangest episode of a Whedon show I've seen since Restless.

Is good.

Gophers lose. And Gophers lose. No surprise in either case. I ended up with five wrong yesterday, but have only lost one of my Sweet Sixteen.

I'm going to see a play with my friend Jenn tonight. It should be a good time, although it means I get to watch Dollhouse online tomorrow instead of live.

And from all indications, if you haven't watched the show, or watched it and are kinda meh about it, tonight's the night that it's getting good: Joss's first episode since the pilot, and the critics are going crazy about it.

So that should be fun.

Birthday stuff with the fam tomorrow, new chapter posting tomorrow. That's about it.
