I know I'm late to the party, but I just finished American Gods by Neil Gaiman. It took me forever but that's my fault. Once I really started, I didn't want to put it down. It didn't feel long at all. More like I didn't want it to end. I had no idea how it was all going to come together, but as I was reading the final chapters, it felt like a giant smack to my forehead. A big ol' D'OH! moment. However, I don't want to spoil anything if for some reason you haven't read it yet. All I'll say is what are you waiting for?!

Now, I've read that the UK version is longer than ours and I was wondering if anyone has read both or knows if there are any important differences.

Matt Smith on The Late Late Show was so adorably awkward. There is no better word for that man other than adorkable. You can watch the interview here.

So I don't know what is going on, but I'm in a damn good mood right now. I had to get up early today for a doctor's appointment, but it went well. I wasn't happy with the doctor I had chosen before so I had to look up another in the same area that took my insurance and was accepting new patients. Knowing nothing about who I was getting, I picked a name and made an appointment. I wish I had done that ages ago (you know, since I won't have a job or insurance in about a week). My previous doctor didn't really listen to what I was telling him and I felt like he was very dismissive. New doctor listened, took me seriously, I had blood drawn and tomorrow morning I have to call to set up an ultrasound. Unfortunately if there IS something, I won't have enough time to really do anything about it, but at least I can know one way or another? I don't know, but I definitely like this doctor A LOT better.

I listened to a new podfic on the way to the hospital. Had time to finish it and everything! Great story by [livejournal.com profile] messageredacted and great reading by [livejournal.com profile] pandarus. After the appointment (they took my blooooood), my mom was actually able to pick me up and drop me off at work saving me time and money (didn't have to wait/pay for bus). I got Quinos for lunch but still had time to kill so I went into Spirit (the Halloween store) and bought a fake black rose, a creepy laughing pumpkin keychain, and these awesome earrings.

Work was whatever.

Come home to all new Community (ABED. All caps.), It's Always Sunny, Sh*t My Dad Says (which I still haven't watched an episode of), Never Mind the Buzzcocks (NOEL!), and A History of Horror with Mark Gatiss (new to me). AND I find out that The Hobbit is a go and Martin Freeman is officially going to be Bilbo Baggins!!♥!!

Finally: ♥

They all look so worried at first.

*hugs them all*

Also, I have a WHOLE WEEKEND off for the first time in forever, so I'm taking the train to San Jose to spend some time with my dad, stepmom, and sister. I'm also going to go the Star Trek exhibit at the Tech and I'm gonna get my Girl Scout cookies from my sister. Mmmmm... cookies.

On Tuesday, I'm buying Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day on DVD, and on Thursday my friend and I are going to see the one-night-only showing of the original Boondock Saints in the theatre by my house.

And my friend from San Diego is moving back to Santa Cruz soon, so I should be able to see her sometime in the near future.

If you can't already tell, I'm in a pretty good mood, despite some reasons not to be. But there are some things I'm excited about and I'm going to focus on those. Including another happy-making thing, but I'm going to make a separate entry for that.

Not by blood, but I've known the mother for about 16 years. Which totally counts :P

♥♥ NATASHA ANDREA (PEREZ) TORRES ♥♥
7 lbs 10oz and born at 4:12 am, I believe.


When I saw Natasha, I started tearing up. I've known Renata, the mother, since 3rd grade. I still can't believe she's a mother and that this little life is her child.

My mom picked me up after work and drove me to the hospital to see them. (My mom had actually gone to see her and bring balloons on her lunch break.) Our other friend, Lexis, was there too. Her and Nata have known each other since like kindergarten. We've been BFFs since forever, it feels like.

We stayed until after visiting hours were over and they were about to kick us out. We just sat around talking and watching telenovelas on the TV. It's rare these days for all three of us to get together at the same time, so it was nice to be all together again. We're going to go see her again tomorrow (after Lexis drags me to see Orphan).

Natasha is so adorable and precious. I can't wait until I can babysit and spoil her rotten :D

My friend's in early labor right now!

She's still at home for the moment though. Of course I would be the only manager working tomorrow. I'll have to visit her after I get off of work.

But still! I'm going to be an auntie!!

Third SG-1 movie has a go!


There’s finally progress on the third Stargate SG-1 movie, with news coming out from multiple sources over the last few days that MGM has officially given the film a green light for production. The movie is expected to film in 2009 — probably in the fall... the Atlantis film is also still in the works, and MGM has every intention of making it...


ETA: Also, seeing as how I'm a blog whore (even though I only really use LJ), if anybody had an extra DW invite code, I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands ;)
