stuff. and more stuff

1. I was thinking about my reading habits in regards to fandom. For the longest time, I was a monofandom person and until I stepped away from the fandom, I really didn't read outside of it. Or so I thought. I'm in a dry spell in the fandoms I'm currently reading in so without even thinking about it, I started to read The Sentinel. It's my backup fandom when I need something new to read. And since I only end up reading in it maybe twice a year for maybe two or three weeks, I've always got a ton of stuff to read. Even ones I've read before, I can reread because there's so much time between reading. So tonight I was thinking about how I actually *did* read outside of popslash on occasion. I read Sentinel fic. *shakes head* Somehow, The Sentinel is my default backup fandom. It'll never be a primary because I don't want to write in it, I get bored reading in it, and I can only watch so much of the show. Doesn't mean I won't buy the DVDs as soon as they're available though.

So does anyone else have a default backup fandom or am I just weird?

2. Milo has spent the last two days at my parents house and has developed a very bad habit of pissing on their kitchen and bathroom floors. And the worst part is that he's doing it so defiantly! They're right there when he does it. My mom watched him lift his leg and pee on her hamper today. *facepalm* I wish I knew why he was doing it. My sister recently got a dog and she brings her over my parents house all the time so I'm guessing he doesn't like to smell Hazel and is trying to drown her out. But omg stop peeing in my parents house! You need to go there when Chris is out of town.

3. I think I applied for ten jobs today. At least. I just went through listings and applied for everything I was qualified for and wouldn't want to stab myself in the head while doing it. I can't stay where I am. I'm so frustrated and unhappy and I want a normal job. I want to work during the day time. I'm not a kid anymore. I'm tired of working at night and never seeing anyone. Hell, I never see Chris. I'd like to see him.

4. I watched Brokeback Mountain last night. And it was a great movie. Heath Ledger was really good as was Jake Gyllanhall. Do I think it was groundbreaking and best picture worthy? At the risk of making myself unpopular, no. It's a great movie. But it's nothing new in my opinion. And I have to admit, the thirty seconds in Wilby Wonderful where Dan cups Duck's cheek was much more sensual and touching than the sex scenes in Brokeback. Though the scene where ( spoiler )

Don't get me wrong, I'll watch the movie again. I'll buy the movie and watch it when I need a good cry. I was very pleased with it. :)

5. I got the most adorable bag from viggorlijah today from the Riverkids Give and Get thing she did. It's so incredibly cute! I wish I had a camera to take a picture of it. I heart this bag. :D

6. For the first time ever, I had to contact the lab about an order. And Sara got back to me in like, an hour and was so friendly and sweet! Yet another reason why I love buying from BPAL. Great customer service.

7. I just ate frozen pizza in my bed with Milo while watching CSI. Life is good.
