{ til now I always got by on my own. }
Oct. 4th, 2009 08:33 pmSo, in case it wasn't clear, I spent the majority of the day ripping my room apart trying to find my tax return forms. I was unsuccessful in locating them. This is frustrating because the deadline for the paper forms is the end of this month and I tried to do them back in April when I actually got them and The Dad verbally flipped me off. And now I can't find them, and I probably through them away because I am a MORON, and frankly I am a bit stressed. An example of my stress levels - I woke at six today because I was thinking about it in my sleep and then had to get up and get dressed so that I could do something about it.
In between bouts of searching I managed to get some filing done, have a driving lesson, and watch the latest episode of Defying Gravity. The latter continues to be tres enjoyable and I am SORELY disappointed that this has been shit-canned. I also watched Fringe and then spammed Tumblr with other people's picspams because that's pretty much what I use Tumblr for.

I'm working at the subsidiary office tomorrow because there's a team meeting. This means I can make up some hours which is double plus. I am sort of EXHAUSTED by the prospect of another week of work but also sort of resigned to it? I don't know. I've only been there six months.
I forgot, though, that I'd set up a direct debit to my savings account and so now I am probably massively overdrawn, so I should make a trip to the bank already and sort that shit out. I am still an anxious/compulsive shopper but I do tend to return things to the shelf before I reach the tills these days.

On Friday I took the afternoon off and sat in a restaurant eating pasta and writing Ziva meta, as you do. Then I sat in the ~new~ library, watched Australia on my nano, and researched the Garden of Gethsemane. I need to go back to school, but only for the not-stressful parts, obvs.

I have c.60 poems to bookmark. I'd go ahead and sort that out but my netbook is being a bitch. Dell installed extra shit when they took it to be repaired, but then didn't install the pre-existing software. So now I have a netbook which is running a lot of crap in the background (that I'm apparently unable to switch off) which further prevents me from running the stuff that I actually want to use. This is Very Annoying, guys.

Quick fandom round-up: I am two weeks behind on Bones because I am a moron, and I am probably going to dump CSI: NY because I am finding it awkward to watch! Glee's musical numbers continue to be endearing; Stargate: Universe was fairly compelling viewing; Criminal Minds was boring; NCIS was gut wrenching; Californication is a disappointment thus far (I skipped most of the second episode, though I still fucking adore Marcie); Supernatural was terribly, terribly watchable; I forgot to watch Merlin; NCIS: LA has two excellent female characters and LL Cool J which is all that can be said in its favour; Mad Men hurrrrrrts; Dollhouse is terrible; Private Practice had an excellent season premiere; I hate everything about Grey's Anatomy and am going back to dumping it.
Anything else? No? Okay then.

It's awkward because I've totally forgotten how to update properly.

Date: 2009-10-05 01:51 pm (UTC)To be honest, I almost always find Criminal Minds boring. At least the cases. I couldn't tell you half of what happened with the cases even 5 minutes after the episode airs. I watch for the character stuff which also tends to bore me if Garcia and Morgan don't talk more than once.

Date: 2009-10-06 05:21 am (UTC)Grey's was terrible. I don't know why I watched the premiere. Ditching that again.
Haha! I tend to enjoy the cases as much as the characters, actually, but then, I like more of them, so, there's that. This week's was a yawn though. Sadface.
I did totally get around to watching Merlin at last, though. I love Morgana but the episode was way too short. It looks like it's going to become an actual narrative arc this year though, so I'm looking forward to the next episode.
