damn the muse

Damn you, Joss Whedon! Damn you!!! Serenity rocked, but must you tear my heart into shreds?

I can honestly say I'm busy, and September just seems to never end. It can continue to truck on just for me, thank you very much. Let's see, I'm teaching Spanish, which allows me to correct the balance a bit. If I hear another parkiar from a San Antonian I think I may have to hire my own lawyer after I run that person over with my scooter. ::cringe::

Anyway...

I still haven't finished watching all the tv shows I taped (downloaded) from this week. Some of the new shows are intriguing, and some are just there. I love "Threshold" and found myself having to tape it and watch it Saturday during the day. That show is just too freaky! Of course I still haven't seen episode #2, but I'm working on it. I was also intrigued with "Supernatural" because of the dynamic between the brothers, but seriously, did they have to name one of them Dean? Confusing! Especially since the younger one was named Dean previously on "Gilmore Girls." It's taking time to get used to, but I'm enjoying the show. I can't say the same about "Invasion." I might give it the 3 episode try, or I might not. Same with "How I Met Your Mother," which felt forced to me. Don't get me wrong, I love Aly! And she was wonderful in the pilot. I guess that comedies with laugh tracks aren't my thing, and I say laugh tracks because on the other side is "Kitchen Confidential" and I loved it! I'm also watching "Bones" and "House" and "Rome" and well with "Veronica Mars" starting this week along with "Boston Legal" and I want to check out "Close to Home," well, methinks the 3 episode rule is out the door!!

The roommie and I went to check the mail today, which on some days can be very pleasant since we both have growing busy schedules, and lo and behold there was a small rectangular pamphlet waiting for me. She read my name, said November, and I practically screeched, begging her not to say another word. The damning piece of paper was after all the date slated for the release of bar exam scores.

Ugh, my stomach just imploded.

Someone, anyone. Promise you will call me on the day names go up online to give me good news for a change.

So, now it's a Category 5, and according to my mother it's going to destroy Galveston. What a reality check.

She just called to beg me to go home, except San Antonio is further in land, and the path of Rita is supposed to hit on the eastside. I live on the northwest side of the city. That doesn't rule out the nasty flooding we'll get or tornados, and it doesn't erase all the ugly images everyone has witnessed in the last three weeks. Galveston, Houston, and Corpus are in the firing line, and it's not a nice thought.

Roberts came out of nowhere, and as much as I'm leary of him, I'm rather glad it's not Owens. Now that there's a potential for a second nominee, I dread an Owens nomination, but if Law Dork is right, and I think he is because it seems like it's the obvious choice, then maybe the Court won't be in such bad shape. Then again, these are conservatives. Then again it can go any way.

Listening to: "Master of the House" - Les Miserables

Full-blooded Mexicans have invaded the United States in order to help with the Katrina relief, and apparently it's a big deal. All week my aunt has been sending me msn messages asking me about the evacuees. How full is San Antonio? 14,000 strong. I even met a lady on the bus today from New Orleans. She had her suitcase, a brush sticking out, and like every unfortunate person in my city, was attempting to navigate the consistently late transportation system to get to downtown and catch a Greyhound back to Louisiana.

Esta horrible. It's horrible what's happened, my aunt says, and her comments reflect pretty much what all my other family members say from Guanajuato. Their compassion has no bounds, and it's kinda cool to see the Mexican army on Texas soil to lend an extra hand.

7pm. I'm all settled on the couch. I change the channel to ABC, and I can't contain my excitement. Afterall, my boys are playing. Win or lose, I watch. Except Texas is Texas and they'd rather put on the A&M v. Clemson game. Well I hope Clemson wins.

In the meantime, the Irish are winning. Absofrickin' brilliant. 35-13

Apparently during my battle with Photoshop and css, I missed this thrilling bit of news. The California Senate passed a bill to allow same-sex marriage by a margin of 21 to 15. This would make it the second state in the nation to allow same-sex individuals to marry next to Massachusetts. Here, here.

Well, I messed around with the css yesterday, and I managed to make the layout work a bit better. The blue is killing me though. I guarantee that this will change, but for now I'm comfortable enough to post to my heart's content.

And yes, I have a lot to say.
