Boredom is back!

So, those of you who read the last post and were somewhat disturbed by the idea of me doing actual work, well, breathe a sigh of relief. I've been sitting at my desk for almost two hours and had nothing to do. No room changes, no psycho-upset parents, no discipline meetings, nada. Fabulous. There was so much free time that I gave my blog a mini-makeover. All I really did was add a blogroll and rearrange some stuff on the sidebar. I swear, I'm flying blind half the time. I don't know shit about HTML. I guess and I cut and paste, and somehow it comes out looking okay. Thank God for the "preview" tool or this thing would be even sloppier than it already is. Anybody want to give me a tutorial?

So the blogroll was definitely necessitated by the fact that, well, I've found some pretty cool blogs lately. There's another "grrl" on the web--midwest grrl. And another Mason Jennings fan. These were definitely items of note. And then there are the blogs that I've been faithfully following for a while-- birdherder and secret exploits--and I suppose it's time to share them with my blogging pals. It's so refreshing to find something funny and intelligent in a cyberspace littered with popups and porn sites. And it's the best office timekiller since solitaire.

So hey, is anybody as excited as I am about the addition of Shane West to the ER crew? Does anybody else watch ER anymore? Yeah, it's getting a little tired, every possible relationship combination has been pursued and they've run through every "dramatic cliffhanger" I can think of, from helocopter crashes to the plague, but something about it still keeps me coming back for more. And I think the new blood will be a good thing. Shane West...mmmm. I've missed him since they yanked "Once and Again." Yeah, he did "A Walk To Remember," but I forgive him (okay, the movie wasn't THAT bad). Thursday nights are exciting again. And the word on the street is that Dr. Carter is going to be leaving us at the end of the season, so it will be kind of fun to see how they kill him off. If taking the semester off of grad school has provided me with anything, it's the chance to get into primetime TV again. Never mind that I'm now filling my head with fluff rather than knowledge! The Apprentice rocks my world!

So, stupid act(s) of the week...went out last night, had a little too much fun, ended up babbling to my republican coworker for the better part of an hour, after which I was depressed so I felt the need to babble away to my buddy/cousin (I think I'll nickname him Dallas, for reasons he'll be sure to understand.) and then after that I didn't feel I had been quite obnoxious enough, so I left a babbling message on The Boy's voicemail. Dumb, dumb peacegrrl. When will I learn? Damn Limle and her tequila shots! Bleh. At least I'm not hung over.

Well, despite all appearances to the contrary I actually do have some work to do before I leave early today (yay for leaving early, but boo because it's to say goodbye to a favorite coworker :-(...) so it's time to jam. Later...
