Faster than a speeding bullet

[gateslacker]

• Yeah, I am going to run out of bullet subject lines eventually.
• I have been trying to steadily increase my walking speed and I am managin an average 16.40 minute mile. Granted, this is when I am on a treadmill which is probably easier than on outdoor terrain. I wonder if I will ever reach the 15 minute mile.
• I've lost ten pounds which I hate to mention because mentioning a diet and/or weight loss becomes a death knell for continued success. And yet, still, I mention it. ;-)
• I have microsoft Works but I have had to purchase Microsoft office to get power point. I thought Works had it but, no, they only have a viewer. It really ticks me off because they are both microsoft products. What on earth do I need with two word processing programs? All of my papers have to be submitted in Word but I can do that with Works, though I fear the formatting is wonky.
• Die Another Day and Behind Blue Eyes were nominated in the Stargate music video awards. Strange that the award and these noms are occuring when I have no time for vidding. Naturally, it inspires me to want to make more vids. (I still wanna make that Farscape vid and now I have all the seasons!) Maybe over Christmas break. (Yeah, right. Like that's not going to be a busy time despite having a break from classes.)
• I have a sneaking suspicion that my child is going to be way cooler than I ever was. See exhibit A:
• He had his first dance and won a costume contest to boot!
• I am so impatient for my new schedule to start.
• I am onto season 4 of Alias. I am still enjoying though I didn't really see the need for yet another top secret division. As for season three, it was so obvious that Lauren being a double agent was contrived mid course. However, those circumstances have lead to some wonderful angst for Michael, though he seems to always have an expression of angst (or is it chronic constipation?..LOL).  Even this far in, I still miss Will. And where the heck is Sark? Welcome to Libertyville has been my favorite episode thus far for season 4.
• Is it me or is Veronica Mars just not as good since she went to college?
• Nathan Fillion on Lost tonight. Wheeeeeee. I'll have to watch the second I get home from church. But it's the Fall finale. Booooooo.

Great chatting with you. : )

I found a couple of jobs that I am going to apply for.

I was quite excited to read that Nathan was going to be in LOST!!!!!

It was good chatting and good luck with the job search. Yes, I was excited to see Nathan Fillion but I was really hoping he was actually joining the cast instead of being in the flashback.

Congrats on the weight loss.

And love that pic of your boy. He looks too cool indeed. ; )

Thanks! I hope I can continue it with the Eating (er..Holiday) Season coming up!

As for Brandon, he borrowed that outfit from my brother in law and when I saw him, I laughed all the way to the school to drop him off. Then I got a bit misty when I imagined what a kick his dad would have gotten out of it.

I'm lovin' that picture of B!

I don't watch Lost but while waiting for The Nine I did see Nathan Fillion. He looked good!

Good luck with the walking and the weight loss. I need to dig up my will power. Why does it feel like I left it in my other pants all the time!

Congrats on the vidding noms! It's great to be noticed and I understand your frustration. I would like to vid if I can find the right song. Maybe off of Evanesence's new CD, which I got from a friend yesterday ;)

Ooo Evanesence good, I got their new album a couple of weeks ago. The girls got a good voice, can't argue with that.

[gateslacker.livejournal.com]

I'll certainly need the well wishes to hopefully continue!

Nathan Fillion did look good!!!

I have been meaning to purchase the new Evanescence CD from Itunes. I keep forgetting about it until I hear one of the releases on the radio.

Microsoft are evil, this is known.....

One of these day's I'll watch Alias, I've caught to odd episode but haven't really had the time to get into it. Is it good?

[gateslacker.livejournal.com]

They are evil!

I became addicted to Alias right off the bat with the pilot! That very rarely happens. I think it is good but I have a history of enjoying watching women kick butt (Xena, La Femme Nikita). Then again, I like watching men kick butt too(Matrix, Highlander, all the various and sundry superhero movies I have enjoyed). I guess, I like action, as long as it has both character and plot. Action for the sake of action doesn't cut it.

Yay on the wieght loss - I've lost 7 lbs but like you am trying not to tell everyone because I'm bound to put on double that if I do!

B looks totally funky - obviously takes after his momma

And do Farscape do Farscape - put in loads of Crichton and Aeryn in leather! mmmmmmmm leather . . .

[gateslacker.livejournal.com]

I will make a Farscape vid in the near or somewhat near future or somewhat, somewhat near future.

Cool for you on the weight loss. Maybe we won't be jinxed!
