“I just wanna live while I’m alive”

Wednesday thoughts:

• Can you be obsessed with a CD less than 24 hours after getting it? The Glee soundtrack is so awesome it makes me want to cry to have to wait until next Wednesday for a new episode. I added to the album by getting the “It’s My Life”/”My Confessions” mashup and the “Halo”/”Walking on Sunshine” mashup on iTunes. I wish they had put even more of the songs on the CD like the Thong Song and I Could’ve Danced All Night or even Leaving on a Jet Plane (or whatever that song is called. Not enough M. Morrisson goodness.
• Fall in New England is especially brilliant this year. There is a tree on Mass Ave in Arlington that is bright blood red. When the sun hits it, you need sunglasses. Boston is a very pretty place right now.
• Going to see Fiddler on the Roof tonight at the Opera House with friend of blog Dori. Should be fun. I’ve only ever seen the movie but I really enjoyed that. Downside is that the show is close to 3 hours long. Trying not to think about that part.
• How I Met Your Mother was pretty funny on Monday, though even I was getting a bit sick watching cutesy Barney and Robin. I’m glad they are giving Marshall and Lily more to do this year.
• The Big Bang Theory: football and geeks? This show gets more and more perfect with every episode. Loved the jersey cocktail dress on Leonard and that Sheldon knows about football. I also very much appreciated that Leonard was taking notes on the sport by watching New England. Oh and the Battlestar toast was awesome.
• Am behind on every other show and it’s very sad. I am starting to catch up on Vampire Diaries. I forgot how much I enjoy this show and it’s just getting better and better. Don’t spoil me, I still have like 4 to watch.
• Speaking of vampires, I’m reading The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. I’m only 150 pages in but so far it’s about all these historians trying to find the truth about the Dracula legend. Very enjoyable and well written, especially if you are interested in historical fiction. It’s also nice after reading and watching so many benign vampire stories to read one that is actually frightening and makes the vampires actually evil instead of romantic and misunderstood…so far anyway. I may have to read Bram Stoker’s Dracula after this. I don’t think I even know that story.
• Work has been so crazy busy with close and large projects. It feels good to have a lot to do but so far this week I’ve been working above my normal hours which is sad because I do that overtime in the morning when no one sees it and I don’t get paid for it so other than having extra time to do my work, I’m getting no credit for it. Maybe I should casually let it slip.
• I really need to stop my imagination going wild. It’s gonna get me into trouble, sooner than you may think.
• Saw graffiti on the T this morning: “Thank God for California’s Prop 8. Next MA.” Also saw that Maine voters reversed the gay marriage law up there. What else can I even say about this?
• 2 and a half weeks until Thanksgiving – well my Thanksgiving break anyway. I’m so mixed about it. I can’t wait to have a week off of work and I’m excited to see my father and stepmother but I’m also, uh, not. Oh well.
• 2 straight weeks I’ve been brushing and flossing morning and night like a pro. I’ve been really good about it since my dentist yelled at me. This better make a noticeable difference next time he sees me cause it’s taking up a lot more time.

Ok, I suppose I should get started on work. Have a good one!

Last thought. This picture makes me really happy. Two of my TV boyfriends all gussied up. Ignore the girl.
