I sometimes feel badly about my iPod since it’s totally old. The copyright on the back is dated 2004. It can’t play video, and it doesn’t have a color screen. To top things off, I stumble upon lots of articles, blog posts, etc. that talk about how iPods (my model in particular) just blow up one day and never work again. So, I’ve waited patiently for my iPod to get wonky and stop working…and it’s still alive and kicking. It even has a dent in the back from when I once dropped it. But here’s some exciting news. According to the newest issue of Real Simple magazine, if you bring an old iPod in to the Apple store, you’ll get a 10% discount off a new iPod. At least I know my old pal’s death won’t be in vain!
Oh, man…I will feel really stupid if my iPod dies after I write this post. I love you, iPod! Please don’t die!
I’m not sure what it is, but I get a little flutter whenever I see him on The Office. I’m really not as boy crazy as I seem to be. Anyway, it’s always nice to see someone on a TV show who you just know is smart in real life. I think that’s why I like James Roday, too.
Seeing Sarah Drew on Mad Men as Kitty Romano was pretty exciting. But I think I actually yelped when I saw Colin Hanks. Genius casting, in my opinion. He so needs better roles.
On another note, Don Draper should dress like this all the time.
Skins has already gone through two series (or “seasons” if you’re in America) in the UK, but is starting up on BBC America tonight. I’m intrigued! Why? Well, I’m a sucker for the teen drama. But this show looks funnier, more real, and sexier than, say, Gossip Girl. Plus, the actors generally play their ages. Finally, one of the characters is played by Nicholas Hoult, probably most famously known as the kid from About a Boy, though I’m sure in the UK, he’s much more known for his role on Skins. Boy grew up pretty good!
Just a warning: this show holds nothing back. There’s nudity, naughty language, drug use, and teenage sex.
Happy B-day, MB!
Why doesn’t Taco Bell bottle up their hot sauce and sell it in grocery stores?

I have finally started watching Psych as part of my efforts to watch every DVD I own before I buy any new DVDs (I already caved last week by buying myself some DVDs for my birthday). While I’m starting to hate the theme song for the show, I think I’m slowly falling in love with James Roday (or, really, the character he plays). Sigh. I’m still on the first season so please, no spoilers!
May I get all Sex in the City for a moment?
I’m a single gal. While I have no regrets about past relationships - okay, relationship - and no desire to pimp myself out, I do get lonely. And there are moments, usually a few days a month, when I feel incredibly…frisky. Yes, frisky. And it’s during these moments that I wish I had a scratching post. Yes, scratching post. Go ahead and call me insensitive. I’m just telling it like it is.
So, I’m having one of those days. And it certainly doesn’t help that I got physically close to a guy at work* today (nothing inappropriate) and he smelled awesome. The best part was that I didn’t smell how awesome he smelled until I got thisclose to him (again, nothing inappropriate. I’ll try to do a reenactment and put it on YouTube or something). I wasn’t sniffing him, I just happened to inhale at the right moment, so I’m not a complete freak. Decent looking guy, totally “scratch post”-worthy. But, alas, I’m a nice girl, and just blogging about this is making me blush.
It’s a good thing I planned to go to the gym today. That should help ease some of my frustration. And maybe when I get home, I’ll pop in a Smallville DVD (one with Green Arrow, of course) and just hope that the frisky moment passes. Goodness, I need a drink.
*If you work with me, don’t even ask who I’m talking about. I’m serious. Don’t. Ask. And if you’re a guy at work and you’re reading this, I’m not talking about you.

Birthday evening was spent enjoying some privacy and finishing Curse of the Spellmans by Lisa Lutz. This is the second book in the Spellman series. I love this family. They’re funny and, despite some crazy stuff, they’re a totally relatable and real family. Lisa Lutz is one author whom I would love to meet. I’ll have to keep an eye out for any bookstore visits she might do.
On another note, this is the first book I’ve borrowed from the Chicago Public Library in, like, 15 years. Because of the ton of books I have that I haven’t read, and because I’m trying to be smarter about money, I’ve decided not to buy anymore books. Borrowing from the library is actually kind of fun…you can request books online, and there’s a library within walking distance so it’s really convenient.
