Bullets without Bullets

I'm still getting used to this crazy five day work week but, so far, I am LOVING my job. Once I got past the snooze fest of paperwork and reading of orientation manuals and started seeing patients, I started having fun. I realize that it won't always be this way because the schedule will increase and also, sure as the world, something will come up and I will feel seven kinds of stupid. It WILL happen. Repeatedly. The chances are really great as the week I've started referring to as " despair and devastation week"  is looming. We'll see.

I have further evidence that my fellow NP's are kindred spirits. They think that we should be given holiday leave time the day the final Harry Potter movie premieres. LOL!

Oh my gosh! My son has a girlfriend!?! Wha?  We've already broached the "Mom prefer's abstinence...or condoms" topic. I told him he could get them for free at the health department! 

I'm supremely irritated that the weather has nixed my swimming plans two Saturdays in a row! Grrrrr. 

Oh my goodness!! As usual, I am a day late and a dollar short but I finally saw The Eagle and it was AMAZING!!!  Even though I typically don't get all fannish over movies,  I can see why people did and do! It was awesome!  (I must need more than a time-limited movie story to fall into that sort of thing. And, yeah, I was gaga over Neo and The Matrix but even though I have watched it more times than I can count, I never read fanfiction about it so there ya go. I suppose the reading of fanfiction has become my ultimate fangirl litmus test).

Speaking of being a fangirl, I'm really gonna have to wait till March 2012 for the US DVD release of Parked? Seriously!?!  Sometimes I wonder why I do not purchase a multi-region DVD player and be done with it as this whole region thing frequently annoys me.

I also went against my usual phobia of watching-a-new-show-that-might-be-quickly-cancelled and watched Falling Skies. (Because Noah Wyle is in it!!). Call me sufficiently intrigued. Wyle always manages to portray a sympathetic character and I was also rather impressed with Colin Cunningham's performance (Major Davis in the Stargate world). Plus, the long hair suits CC!

Finally, I leave you with my laugh for the week. The guy with the nearly full legbag WEARING  SHORTS had me falling out of my chair with laughter!! Of course, now I have the song stuck in my head which is rather unfortunate. Along with some shudder worthy images. Still, it did make me laugh in a horrified way.

What is THE EAGLE? I don't think I have heard of it

As far as I can tell FALLEN SKIES is only airing on a pay TV channel up here. I already pay an arm & leg for cable so I won't be checking it out unless I can find it online.

The Eagle is a movie that came out several months ago and I remember quite a few folks on my f-list really loving it.

I am usually late to the party when it comes to movies..LOL

Bummer about that airing on a pay channel. It always seems to happen. Some things you get to see on your regular cable plan and I have to pay extra for and sometimes it is the other way around. Don't they understand just how this impacts any shared squee?

Oh heavens but I could not even watch that all the way through. Gross! LOL... but still gross.

Everyone should be off for the final Harry Potter movie!

My heart sank when I read the date release of Parked DVD... so not fair! The UK gets it in October and we have to wait until March?!

Yes, that video was rather funny in a totally horrific way.

Regarding Parked. It is irritating when it is television but at least I understand that. I mean, you can't very well release a series on DVD when it hasn't even aired on television, yet.

But, movies I don't understand AT ALL. I mean, what is the hold-up? And such a long hold-up at that? If it is being released on DVD then it is not being shown in theaters. I am sure there is loads of business crap to these things that I don't understand (and don't really want to). Still. March? MARCH!?! That is an entire year after we saw it at the film festival!

I also will probably try and find an alternate viewing method, at least till the DVD comes out. So, I hope someone posts a link at that time.
