This journal has always been sort of friends only.  This is what I have in my profile:

This Journal is mostly Friends-Only, the fannish stuff will probably be public, as will the rambling observations.

A lot of the locked posts are about health and mood, and are usually depressed. If you're not a friend, you won't want to hear - even friends don't want to hear, but I need to let things out.

I never really enforced that, though, so I'm starting to do so now.

Public posts = Fandom related, mostly NCIS, Doctor Who, In Plain Sight and other shows I watch

Private posts = Friends who asked to be put on my filter for personal stuff, like health, work, family.  

Friends posts = All other posts, including observations, rants and just plain rambling about nothing.  Oh, and posts about Taro.  :)

If you'd like to be added, please comment here or send me an e-mail.  Tell me how I know you or why you want to be friended, because sometimes I forget where I met someone, either virtually or in person.  Thanks.

Sorry.


 

I have it printed out and sitting on my document stand at work.

It's not quite the New Year yet here, but it is elsewhere for some of my friends.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year and may 2010 be wonderful for all of us. I know I'm hoping to start a new, healthy life!

Thanks to all of my friends for your friendship, support and understanding.

Happy birthday to my dear friend teenygozer !

Much love to you, and I'll talk to you later!

*MWAH*

Thank you pen37 for my snowflake cookie!

I haven't posted any updates in so long. I tend to talk on Twitter a lot. Funny, I almost deleted that account, now I keep in touch with folks via Twitter. Any of you folks Twitterers?

I see they put Three Rivers on hiatus. As a recent transplant recipient, I hated that show. I also see that they canceled Eastwick. I didn't watch that one as often as I probably should have, as a former Paul Gross fan. I didn't care for it.

My current shows are NCIS (of course), NCIS: Los Angeles (by default), Castle, The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, The Mentalist (when I remember), Bones, White Collar. Sometimes I miss White Collar if I want to watch Numb3rs. This Friday, though, I'll be watching the series finale of Monk and the Fall finale of White Collar.

I just got a notice that  tv_elf 's birthday is coming up.

So, I've spent a lot of time at home lately and I've also had an opportunity to watch shows in the evening that I couldn't, because I was gone Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings.

I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't stay up to watch certain shows, because of my schedule, so yeah, in bed by 9:00 made me miss some programs that I enjoy.

( Californication )

Hmmm, what else have I been watching.  Oh, the Monday night sitcoms on CBS, specifically How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory.  Funny thing, I had a dream about Sheldon from TBBT.  I can't dream about Tony, what's up with that?

What good is being notified of filming in your area when the daily newsletter informs you two weeks after filming was done?

My love for NCIS has grown tenfold.  I didn't think that was possible.

*sigh*

I haven't read much fanfic lately, but I have read a few that bugged me to no end.  (And a few that I love, like the series about Gibbs' barista).

Yes, Tony's my favorite character.  MW and MH are tied for first on my list, but Tony edges out Gibbs by a hair.

I hate reading fanfic where:

1.  Tony blames himself for not knowing Michelle Lee was a mole.  HELLO, she wasn't a mole when she was on his team.  She didn't start spying for that guy until much later, when her sister was kidnapped.  There was no way that he would pick up traitorous vibes from her while he was Team Leader. 

2.  Tony blames himself for Ziva's predicament because he killed Rivkin.  He had no choice, Rivkin was dead set on killing Tony and Tony was too injured to insure he could shoot Rivkin in the leg.  Even if he had, Rivkin was close enough to fall forward and stab Tony. 

Tony went to Ziva's place because he found incriminating evidence against her and he wanted to give her a chance to explain herself.  He risked his career for her.  Ziva had been evasive and her loyalties were in question, rightfully so. 

Anyway, I stop reading the story when they start going on the "it's all my fault" tangent with Tony.

Last night I was channel hopping and came upon a Neil Diamond special.  He was in the middle of singing Cherry Cherry and OMG, I got all excited and bouncy because I love that song.

For some reason I felt as if I should hide the fact that I really really enjoyed hearing him sing that song, and that I should be embarrassed for thinking that he still sounded good.

I have such wonderful memories of some of his earlier songs, Sweet Caroline and Crackin' Rosie, that I just get all happy when I hear them. 

Now I want a version of Cherry Baby on my iPod, which I haven't listened to in months.  I need to reinstall iTunes on my laptop and see if I can rescue my  playlist.


 

My hairdresser gave me a mullet!  It didn't quite look like one last night, she's clever.

Today, definitely looks like a mullet.  It was the first thing my co-worker said.

I'll be trying to disguise it for two days until I can get back to the salon and get it chopped off.  I guess I will have short hair, whether I want it or not.

A MULLET!

GRRRRRR....

No, I'm not taking a picture of it.  :P

Forgot to post that my AU story has been nominated for a 2009 NCIS Award!

YAY!



Don't forget to vote!  http://community.livejournal.com/ncis_awards/

I have all five episodes of Torchwood downloaded now.  I haven't watched or even peeked, and I haven't read anything about them.  As a matter of fact, I didn't know they were being aired in the UK until I saw them...

I'm considering saving them for my trip to L.A.  It's a long flight and I hate sitting for so long, but if I'm watching something that really has my attention, it'll fly by - no pun intended.

I'm okay with waiting.  Heck, I've had the Doctor Who Christmas special since it first aired and I just watched it last week.  I haven't watched the second special yet.

Is it wrong that while I felt sad for the murdered people on last night's Law and Order: Criminal Intent, the murder that upset me the most was that of the family's German Shepard?

It's been awhile since I've had my Callum Keith Rennie obsession, so why am I dreaming about him so much now?

Sure, I've been watching Harper's Ferry, hoping that his character isn't really dead and shows up, but I've only seen glimpses of photos of him in that.

Weird.

What's not so weird is that he's always a bad guy in my dreams.  A bad guy, who's gone straight and is a good guy now.

Cal, boobala, please take some good guy roles, I can't handle all the bad dreams.

Thank you.

Hmmm, since there seems to be no rule that the story has to be recent, I suppose my stories are eligible...

Anyone want to nominate any of my stories? 

::blink blink::

Specifically, a rant about how it appears Tony is being treated.

( In which Tweeter rambles angrily about NCIS )

Okay, I guess this rant may not make much sense.  I'm feeling sick but have to be at work and am cranky and fuzzy-headed.

Dear SBC/At&t/Yahoo mail,

I respectfully request that you take the images of gummy grins showing me their bright white teeth off my computer monitor.

I find it annoying and unpleasant to look at.  They're almost as bad as the acne ads you had repeating ad nauseum.

Thank you,
