I am officially ON VACATION PEOPLE.

Vacation.

I have not had an actual week's vacation from Dove since...well, ever!

But don't worry. I have plenty to keep me busy. I'm starting on Chris...uh, holiday presents. *hides from katelennon.* And I have reading to do, and Lea's going to come over and bring the kidlets to swim, and then Thursday I'm going to visit tim_80 which I'm really excited about, and THEN, Friday, I will be in the theaters seeing I Want to Believe.

Set your iPod/iTunes/Media Player to shuffle and answer the questions with the title of whatever song comes up. No cheating.

( Weee. )

Oh yeah. And since ellie06 is gone to California til the 30th, and did_it_once is leaving for vacation later this weekend, I likely won't be around much for awhile. :P

Ж-Men...but not the ones you might expect!
This week LJ Russia launched Ж-Men, a new comedy series about superheroes, inspired by the LJ communities dedicated to superheros, comics and cartoons. The title's "Ж" comes from ЖЖ, the nickname for LiveJournal in Russia.

Ж-Men's script is written by a group of LJ enthusiasts who also happen to be television professionals. Who knew? Following the premiere, five more episodes will be broadcast over the next two weeks. We hope you find the series fresh and enjoyable.

This is, of course, an experiment for LiveJournal. As always, we'd love to hear what you think!

My favorite quote so far from season one, episode two--Anywhere But Here.

Davis: I feel like I'm riding around with my grandmother.
Carlos: She's pretty quiet?
Davis: Nah. She's a bitch.

So...I don't suppose anyone would have and upload "Pocketful of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield, would they? Thanks, l_vera01!

Today is one of those days where I feel like climbing out of my skin. I'm too tired to read or write, but not tired enough to sleep. I'm not in the mood to talk to people, I'm not in the mood to watch a movie, I'm not in the mood to do anything. I am bored--to the point where nothing seems interesting enough to exert the energy it takes to do something.
