Cleanliness Brings Freedom!

I’m currently watching Wall·E for the first time via Netflix instant play. If I haven’t said it before, I’ll say it now, but I love it. I finally got my Wii this past Christmas but I always go through phases when it comes to playing video games, so it was sitting unused for quite a while. Then came Netflix… and OMG wow. I’m addicted. I’ve been watching Law & Order: SVU and am on season 9 (I’ve skipped quite a few episodes that I’ve seen enough times to remember what happens). My husband and I have become big fans of 30 Rock. While there’s a lot available on instant play, there are quite a few other things more I wish were available. It sucks having to wait for DVDs of TV shows.

I’ve had a productive morning. I had to wake up early (for me – which isn’t saying much :lol:) to take the husband to work. I then sat at a Starbucks with a Frappuccino (coffee flavored, no whip, with a shot of espresso) and an orange-cranberry scone until I had to be at my store meeting. Afterward, I’d usually come straight home and sleep for the rest of the morning until early afternoon. Instead, I picked up some needed cleaning supplies and cleaned up a melted chocolate mess (thanks to a cheap lighter exploding!) in the car. Once I came up to the apartment, I went to town on the kitchen and main bathroom. I hand-scrubbed the kitchen floors (one of the items still in storage), cleaned counters, stove, microwave, did dishes, put the drip pans from the stove into the sink to soak.

Soon I shall fix something for lunch as my tummy is a-rumblin’. Next I think I shall take recycling down and maybe actually organize some of the crap in the bins & boxes laying around.

Fanlistings

If you didn’t know already, I own two fanlistings. If you don’t know what a fanlisting is to begin with, here’s the description from TheFanlistings.org:

A fanlisting is simply an online listing of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are) – they are just a place where you can have your name listed along with other fans of the same subject. TheFanlistings.org is the original (but not only) web directory for fanlistings, dedicated to uniting fans across the globe.

I own and maintain the fanlistings for the Garden State soundtrack and the Sam & Andrew relationship (from Garden State). I’m currently having issues with getting the script I’m using to do what it needs to so I’m not placed on a “trouble” list on TheFanlistings.org – so I’m looking into using other scripts. I’m not sure how it’ll pan out, but I have a few days to figure it out.

This should get interesting… If any of you reading out there have suggestions, I’m more than open to them! All I need, really, is to get the member’s country to display next to their name and all will be right with the world. I’m probably going about it the hard way, but the script I’m currently using isn’t being supported by the developer and there’s little-to-no help documentation I can find. *emo*

Day 03 — A television program you watch too much

I’d have to say I watch an awful lot of Law & Order: SVU. I actually don’t watch new episodes when they come on, but it’s the show I prefer to stop my remote on in the late afternoon on USA to kill boredom or have as background noise while I’m doing my computer stuff. I absolute LOVE Chris Maloney and Mariska Hargitay. They’re gorgeous actors and what they bring to SVU is so great. I can’t forget the other characters/actors either, of course! I do appreciate an episode when Munch is the primary detective and Fin is always good, not to mention the interaction between the two! I also love me some of that medical examiner and FBI psychologist :) I’d have to say, out of the ADAs they’ve had over the years, my favorite is still Alexandra Cabbot.

I’m currently making my way through all the seasons available on Netflix Instant Watch. I finished the 1st season yesterday and over the course of watching it, I found only a few that I hadn’t ever seen before out of the 22/23 episodes there were in the season! I’m now onto episode two or three of the 2nd season.
