i'm a pixel here, myself

So apparently I was all chatty last week and the week before -- and this week I have two measley posts. I think it's because of the show starting back up (TOMORROW, eep). Since I won't be able to watch the premiere tomorrow night (a cappella rehearsal) and maybe not Friday or Saturday (a cappella concert and the boy, respectively), I may be forced to wait until Sunday night to join in the revelry, and that always dampens my glee a bit. I mean, have you noticed that when something new comes out there's a flurry of "WHEEEEE!" from ye olde flist, and then... nothing? And the reviews/discussion/whatever that comes after is often prefaced by "so I know everybody's seen this, but..." and it feels less exciting. Well. I hope that's not what happens for me, you know?

Also: I have not read/seen/talked about spoilers. If any of you spoil me, I will be very, very upset. Please, for the love of all that is holy, use cut-tags. I know you all will, but this is your friendly neighborhood reminder-man, trying to make sure he picks up where he left off, not knowing anything more.

In other news, work is kind of kicking my ass. There was a looooooong stretch in there where I was bored out of my skull; now I'm terrified of making deadlines. Isn't that always the case? Also, Election Day is six weeks from yesterday. I follow a number of somewhat-left-of-center political blogs (because I apparently like knowing about all the shit that goes on in the government) and am kind of biting my nails over the results. We shall see! The only thing I will demand of you in re: the election is that you vote, if you are allowed to do so. Find out who your candidates are, read their positions, read their rhetoric, and vote. Please. Our country has one of the lowest voter-turnout rates among the world's democracies (well, okay, democratic republic in our case) and that's *shameful*.

Here, have some ( candy )
