DAR Constitution Hall - November 20th and 21st! - Am going to do my best to get tickets for me and the soon to be hubby as soon as they go on sale. It may be the best money I spend this year ( maybe besides the wedding/honeymoon). See previous post as to why I'm excited.

Robin Williams is going to be at DAR Constitution Hall in May.  I'm so hoping the price will be doable.

Ok, I watched the first Dollhouse episode last night, and my consensus is like everyone else's I've read so far. It was slow to start and it's not a quick witted as some of the other Whedon shows we've come to know and love yet. However I liked the pilot and it intrigued me enough to come back and watch it next week.

Familiar faces:

First off Fox moved Sarah Connor Chronicles to 8 pm on Friday (Eastern) as the lead in. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about the Terminator in that show is played by Summer Glau who played as River Tam in Firefly . Eliza Dushku heads up in the Dollhouse as Echo. We saw her before as Faith in BtVS. Amy Acker plays the doctor in the Dollhouse (IMDB says the character's name is Dr. Claire Saunders). Those who follow Whedon will remember her as Fred from Angel. These are the obvious Whedon ties so far. Then there were a few people that looked really familiar otherwise but I couldn't place them with where I'd seen them recently. IMDB is my favorite. The Lady who runs the Dollhouse program is actress Olivia Williams. I'd last sen her in X3 as Dr. Moira McTaggert. Echo's Handler Boyd is played by actor Harry Lennix. He's been in too many things to count, but the last two places I'd seen him on TV was 24 and Commander-in-Chief.  And as an IMDB bonus : He wasn't in the pilot ep, but coming soon to the Dollhouse is Mark Sheppard, better known as Badger from Firefly.

We'll see who Whedon pulls for season two ;)

"You can't bury the water."

I'm testing tonight for my next belt level in karate. I got complemented last night on my ability to not telescope my strikes.

Larry and I have a place we need to go look at, but if it's everything we hope it is, it'll be where the wedding is in Fall 2009.

I have tried on some wedding dresses. I need a buddy to go with me I think for more. It's not moral support type thing, it's a am I making a good call on this dress thing.

Going to Hershey in a couple of weeks with family, though friends will be invited to join. BGW trip in August sometime, probably another in Sept and at least once during the halloween stuff. Our season passes have so paid for themselves already.

tomorrow I'll be 25 and a half :)

And now. work.

Dum dum da-dum. dum dum da-dum.....

When trying to set up computer to interface with boyfriend's new router, there are some things to double check when you are trying to figure out why you have no internet connectivity....

-signal strength
-password/code
-trying pinging the darn thing to make sure you're connected.
-making sure the cable to the internet is plugged into the back of the router....which it wasn't.

:P

I'm doing horrible at keeping this up to date, but busy busy, so oh well.

Christmas with the family went fine. L got sick at the end and now has the cough that never ends.

Went to Freeze-out over MLK Jr. Weekend. Was alot of fun, but got me thinking I should try to organize something similar for my friends, though what weekend to do it i wouldn't know. I'm taking suggestions.

Last weekend did the polar bear plunge in MD. All I have to say is OMG pain. DO NOT WANT!

Up next : girly weekend!

in unrelated news: I has Wii !!!!!

-7.5 hours is entirely too long to be in a car even with breaks.
-WTF. Vegas east? South of the Border is more interesting when driving by at night.
-Deep Fried turkey = awesome.
-Sushi also yummy
-Wii will own your soul and make your arm hurt. *wants*
-From scratch sweet tea....mmmm
-cannot watch two rivalry football games on the same day. too much.


Christmas shopping/planning is not going well capt'n. Extremely exhausted. Have no ideas for parents.

C'ville on Sat. started typing in an email today and misspelled it as Charlottesvile. I have no idea why charlotte is vile but at the end of my work day it made me laugh. And now is sleepytime.

I've been keeping up with all of you fairly well, but my posting has been well lacking I suppose.

Tomorrow is Thursday, which means pay day and Grey's with the boys. I am highly amused by the fact that so far this season I've watched the show with a group of men. We're adding a new female member to the mix tomorrow.

I need to go shopping badly! I've been needing a mall run for like weeks and nothing. I'm starting to think maybe Filene's would be a good starter and then tysons, because it is my crack. Also It's only 41 days until Christmas, and teh hell if I know what to do/get for it.

Also who's gonna be in town around then? because I am off of work from the 25th of Dec until the New Year and aside from holidays and my birthday, I'll need a fair amount of fun time intermingled with my relaxing. Leave comment or call me.

So far 2008 is wide open for weekends/visiting except for one weekend in January and a week in May or so. Please give me a few weeks notice as my scheduling as of late has been busy.

I suppose not much else has been going on other than busy weekends followed by busy weeks. C'est La vie.

adieu.

Life's been happening while I've been making plans. course the plans are why I have only 3 full weekends until the end of the year with absolutely nothing left in them. there are a lot of Sundays still open for those of you trying to get a visit with me. Contact me for dates. I did actually chop my hair, so that's off the list and except for a few left I've paid the bills. No sewing has happened as yet, which is annoying me, but I have to clean before I can do that, which involves laundry which I should be 75 percent done with after tonight and hopefully 100 percent done with after the weekend. this is so I can sort out what I do not want/does not fit anymore and give it off to Jo when I see her later next month.

Other than that, L bought a house, which is yay. it's small but perfect for him for now. Only problem is the cabinets in the kitchen are too tall for me to reach the top shelf. oh well, it's what I get for being a shorty. We're planning an IKEA run Saturday and gonna go see Resident Evil before he flies out on business Sunday.

There's the whirlwind tour of my life recently.

I've been running around trying to accomplish things the past few days.

Things I want to /need to do :10 Me:2

This is due to getting out of the office later than usual, dinner being later, me being a slacker, or just a random tonight didn't work as planned.

Things that were accomplished:
Purchasing more fabric for sewing, though no actual sewing had occurred as yet.
Calendar scheduling is complete up through the end of the year, weekends left w/o anything scheduled: 4, this is not including a wedding I was just informed of. Though that weekend was already blocked out as busy, it just got busier. and includes PA. blech.

Things I still need to do:
Get this hair chopped for the love of god.
work on passport application
laundry
bills ( though luckily none of them are due until later this month)
sewing.

Things most likely to get done before the end of the weekend:
Hair cut
bills

*sighs* Life happens when you're making plans. Christmas is looming and I have no idea what to do for it, for anyone.

So there are still a few weekends in there folks. There will probably be a football game or two as well that'll make me out of town. Grab your reservations now.

I went to Richmond for Josh and Ginny's wedding this weekend. Ginny's dress was absolutely beautiful and I couldn't be happier for the two of them. When I was first seated in the church i was mistakenly sat where the grooms family went ;) I'm "family" just not blood.

Went to BG for Friday night and today. I have now ridden the newest coaster 7 times in the four times i' ve been there on my pass. Speakin of which it dies Sept 3rd and I'd love to go with a bunch of people. so let me know. next weekend is no good. Let me know what's good and we'll go from there.

I think it is time to flop now. g'night

I've had a song stuck in my head for the past few hours and i have no idea how it got there, as haven't heard this song in quite sometime . Kinda vexing.

I found my Pixie mix the other day which is yay. Also mom got pictures from my graduation developed which is also yay even if it is a year later.

I think now it's time to go do some reading or writing or something . I'm bored could ya tell?
