Dancing with the Stars

Has Jennie Garth aged even one day since she started 90210?! Not fair.

Random Question

While flipping around the stations during a commerical break of a football game yesterday, I caught the opening credits for SNL. Did Darrell Hammond leave and come back or has he stayed with SNL this whole time? It is hard for me to keep track of the cast and for some reason this caught me off guard.

Thank Goodness That's Over

The PD offices in our state our switching over to a new system, much to my dismay, that is very political. For a while, there was an issue as to whether my boss would still be my boss. If not, I would be looking for a new job. For the past little bit, I've been debating different types of law, where in the state I would continue to practice, what to do next, and I was even considering taking another state's bar exam. The horror! However, as of yesterday, it is official. My boss will still be my boss. My job is no longer in jeopardy. No new bar exam for at least another year. Huzzah!

In other news, I got all of my CLEs for the coming year. Sitting through those things was abject misery!

Catching Up

What I'm doing at work: Working. Trying to move some cases, but this has been damn near impossible since we have hardly had any judges lately. Not visiting the jail even though I need to desperately.


What I'm doing at home: Enjoying my nice furnished apartment. Lots of knitting. I finished two projects that will be Christmas gifts, but then I put four new projects on needles -- not exactly progress. I was sick the past few days so I've also been napping, watching football, and talking on the phone.


What I am reading: Mostly magazines this weekend because of being sick. When I'm sick, I like to read crappy magazines instead of crappy books. I've also been reading lots of knitting related books for patterns, ideas, and stories. Lately, I have been back into the stupid mysteries a la Janet Evanovich, Robert Parker, and James Patterson.


What I am watching: College football. Lots of movies off my Netflix queue. Loved Notes on a Scandal, liked The Queen, not impressed by Dreamgirls and Marie Antoinette, Running with Scissors was okay, and The Last Kiss was boring. Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I also watched Freaks and Geeks: The Complete Series -- AWESOME. Definitely a show that I'm disappointed was cancelled so early, but since I never watched it when it first came out, I guess it doesn't really matter.


What I am listening to: Whatever is on the radio. Whatever pops up on my iPod. Haven't downloaded or bought any new music lately.


What I am thinking about: Catching up on work, homemade Christmas presents, what I hope to accomplish in my late 20s, how I am still tired even though I have slept a ridiculous amount in the past four days.


What I am not thinking about: OJ's latest arrest, who will replace Roberto Gonzalez, and that I really have to take out the garbage.

Is This Stooping Too Low?

I was watching tv at a friend's house last night. There was a commercial for a new program that has almost inspired me to get my cable hooked up. It is called The Two Coreys. From what I gather, the premise is that Corey Haim moves in with Corey Feldman. It looks awesomely bad!
