Mish Mash (And GIP)
Apr. 6th, 2006 08:16 amGah - I'm so disjointed in my head - I blame the fact that I am a tremendous creature of habit and Mr. S has been home this week messing with my mojo. Oh, and he snores like a chainsaw. There's that, too. Sofa City! (It's more like I can't empty my head before sleeping - can't turn it off.)
Yesterday was a great day - my buddy from Singapore took me to a restaurant - little hole in the wall, always a good sign - and I was the only white person there. Didn't understand a word, had no clue what I ate and I was happy happy. MMMMM, so good. Some noodle dish with octopus and shrimp and beans and spice and goodness, plus some curry paste on pineapple and shrimp dish, then wilted watercress with some sort of nut sauce.... GLAH. Oh! And the "signature Singapore dish:" chili crabs. Holy crap. I LOVE FOOD.
Which brings me to my next point. The hotels have been booked for our annual beach vacation. I love food. I need to step up my workout, yo. I've taken to writing down my daily exercise in a log, and it's making a huge difference on how hard and effective I am - which is good. And apparently I've figured out that I can't lie to myself and call the short run the long run, or what have you. And since it's said that an encouraging photo on the fridge can help motivate you, here's my "OMG LOOK LIKE THIS" body. Good. Lord. (Uh, that is not me. That is what I *want* to look like.) That is a great ass.
Also: Happy birthday to one of three men on my flist!
phfeenikz - have a great day!
Finally, behind the cut for spoilers . Is it just me, or does there continue to be a feeling of a MISSED EPISODE?? Too much happening, too fast, not enough explanation. And OH MY GOD for Thumper being in the blown up coliseum!! Weevil. I fucking love that character. I love how he's a smart ass and KNOWS that Veronica is going to ask him finally. And LOGAN. The past few episodes have his storyline getting DARK and freaking me out (and also with the plot holes - he's just... cleared. Okay. Would have liked a little more there, please.) but he was in all his sarcastic glory last night. I LOVE him taking Lamb's parking space. Hahahaha!!
And of COURSE Guttenberg is involved. Of course. He's got Aaron Echolls written all over him. And WALLACE!! Even though I don't care for Jackie AT ALL, damn I want a guy to grab me and just kiss me because he NEEDS to. Unf. Love Wallace.
And who wants to bet that Logan's mom just shows up in one of the last two eps? (And the dance at the end! I know they are wrong, but VM/LE feeeeeels so good.) Beaver. Gay? Traumatized by Dick? Fear that there are cameras in the house? Dick called his girl a weirdo or something? WHAT IS WRONG WITH BEAVER.
GOD I need to finish this fic I'm writing. Cannot FOCUS. Sorry for the spazz! Carry on...

Date: 2006-04-06 06:38 am (UTC)The VM/LE dance was just lovely. And the Wallace kiss! I don't like Jackie either, but I was just giddy at that kiss. And poor Jackie taking the blame from others. I was happy that Wallace told the other girl what was what. That's being a man.
The plot holes with Logan are killing me. Killing. Me. Dead.

Date: 2006-04-06 06:53 am (UTC)I am right on board with you and the greatness that is Wallace being upfront and STILL likeable. Love me some Wallace. I'm so glad they are building a character for him, and not just making him a side-kick. (OF course, they started that in S1, but still. Love him.)
I keep thinking the final eps are going to be like last year: bam, bam, bam with the info and blank filling, you know? *crosses fingers*

I wrote something very similar in my review of the show.

Date: 2006-04-06 08:29 am (UTC)When I lived in Singapore, my favorite Singapore food was satay. Whenever my dad came to Singapore for a business trip (this was when I was in 9th grade and living in the hostel) he would take me to the Batik Inn, which was the best satay restaurant around. Open air, tables under the banyan trees in a large courtyard. Order any variety of satay you wanted -- chicken, beef, shrimp... it was divine. Thai satay isn't as good, but it's the only kind I can get around here. Waaah, now I want some satay so badly. It's almost lunchtime. This is a bad time to be reading your post!
I'm going to do the other good thing mentioned in your post, and go for a walk. That will make me feel all virtuous.
What are you writing?

Date: 2006-04-06 08:49 am (UTC)Oooooh, I fantasize about restaurants like that. Cherusha told me about a festival the other day and I longed for true Spring to get here and bring all of the open air markets/eateries back out. JOY.
Good girl! (But you are WEE! And so delicate! I could fold you up and put you in my pocket!) Writing? A little Coupling fic. :D

Completely agree that this ep had sooo much going on. It's like they realized that the season is almost over, so it's time to get back to the season arc.
Poor Thumper.

they spent SO much time this season on stuff that didn't have to do with the arc, that didn't have anything to do with much at all, and it's like they went 'oh fuck!' and are now rushing.

Date: 2006-04-06 03:38 pm (UTC)Loved the ass picture! I should put something like that up on my fridge. I've been so good for a year + now (exercising, eating well), but I've been getting lazy recently and I shouldn't because soon less clothes will be worn.
Logan was awesome this episode!! I admit to turning into a fangirl and happily squeeing about the Logan/Veronica dance. I don't want them to get together (yet), but I loved their "we've been trying to get over each other and it was going really well ... and this is not helping."
Beaver. Gay? Traumatized by Dick? Fear that there are cameras in the house? Dick called his girl a weirdo or something? WHAT IS WRONG WITH BEAVER. I am wondering the same thing!!!
no subject
Date: 2006-04-06 03:45 pm (UTC)(And go you! I get in a serious funk when I can't exercise, and if I eat junky foods over and over. I feel so much better when I'm in control of what I do to my body. Um, that could be taken in a few ways, huh? Whoops!)
I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK!!
