I think I’ll like it.
I wasn’t sold until the Myspace cut. (With Rasheeda playing.) I love that technique.

Megavideo and I are on another 54 minute break.
I feel like my tumblr has been suffering this winter break. Mostly because all I want to do it talk about characters in Bryan Fuller shows like they’re my friends.
George (from Dead Like Me) and I would have really gotten along. Probably because we’re the same person. I would have been like her college friend, except not a slut who wanted to do her father.
I love how these shows...
“Oh, this isn’t going to be a conversation. It’s actually going to be...”
– Eric to Jaye, Wonderfalls. They then have some more banter and makeout. I was really thankful because they were getting a little annoying that episode.
Sometimes I don't understand my mother
I just had to remove Flags of Our Fathers, Because I Said So, The Lake House, and Good Luck Chuck from the Netflix queue. (Now that the mailing address is my mailing address.) What was she thinking?
To her credit, the majority of the 130 titles are BBC miniseries and obscure foreign dramas. I think she Netflix queues like I thrift shop. Just throw everything that looks somewhat decent into the...
Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so.
What to do while megavideo forces me to wait 54 minutes to resume play of Wonderfalls?
Record my account of mom’s birthday dinner at Russell’s BEEF HOUSE Restaurant with papa Rick?
Or watch the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy miniseries on Netflix watch instantly? (!!!) It’s the British one based more on the radio show and not the American movie with Zooey Deschanel....
Update Update: It took some tricky mouth work, but I recovered the fruit twist!
And it’s inedibley soggy.
Also, I think this 2-liter is no longer shareable.
I shouldn’t be allowed to live alone for long periods of time.
Update: Episode 3. Dropped a grape fruit twist in the 2 liter.
Uhhg.
I don’t have to do anything until 6 today. I finished Dead Like Me last night. On to Wonderfalls! Did you know that Ned…Lee Pace wasn’t in the unaired pilot?
It’s also completely brilliant.
Instead of posting a pic of the show, I thought I’d post a pic of me watching the show. I don’t think this warrants an explanation.

This is a creepy theme song of mine - right up...
I should extend my stay
Beth, you might hate living with your parents, but they happen to be pretty awesome hosts for my Memphis drifter self. Free room and board? yes please.
While Beth’s parents drug her to the gym, I sat cozily in my guest bed watching Dead Like Me. When I got hungry, I meandered down to the kitchen where I found a variety of food laid out specially for me. It was like a magic hotel. There was...
Me: (looking through the DVDs) Concert for George‽ I'm taking this.
Mom: Oh yeah, you can have that.
Me: Wait, whose is this? Where did it come from?
Mom: umm, his ex-wife. Oh, darnit. Ricky already had this DVD.
Me: What? Oh, and I'm taking these Harry Potters, too.
Mom: I bought him this [Nascar IMAX adventure] for Christmas, but he already has it here. The fourth HP is here, too, if you want to have it.
Me: Yeah, but it's full screen. No thanks. Wait! So, you bought him Christmas presents, but I have to resort to stealing dvds from his dead wife's collection to get anything good‽‽
Mom: That's right. And when you come back, we can go through her jewelry!
(both laugh)
[I also snagged Being John Malcovich and an ABBA anthology, btw. Merry Christmas to me!]
Family night in Finger
Me: (photoboothing)
Andrew: Oh god, Emily.
Mom: Where are you putting that‽ The facebook‽‽ You know he's on that.
Me: I know. I've friended him and then unfriended him. And, no, it's going on tumblr.
Andrew: (looking over my shoulder) Is that all tumblr is? Pictures of people holding up objects in front of their macbooks?
Me: On a good day. People write stuff, too.
“The minute I saw the Hurricane Katrina aspect pop up in [Benjamin Button], I...”
– my brother. My family is real clever.
I've been in Finger for 15 minutes.
And Papa Rick has already made 2 Emily + steak “jokes.” Meat jokes will almost never be funny. Mostly because they’re always poorly executed. As in Me “No, I didn’t stop for dinner.” Tard “There’s steak in the fridge. hahahahaha.”
Now he’s asleep on the couch. Snoring.
I hate it here. I really really do.
I hope Finger doesn’t kill my...

emily— you definitely didn't dent my car,
ericamarie:
But Friday night did. I guess Tumblr is as good a place as any to explain that Friday, while driving home from Chicago, I was getting on an on-ramp in the middle of nowhere, and as I reached the peak of the bridge— after the curve of a turn and the slope of a hill— going 60 mph, which I shouldn’t have been considering the weather, I hit a huge patch of black ice, and my car...

5 episodes later...
Just started moving shit around in my room. That means sorting out all the clothes on my floor into different sections: take home to leave home, take home to wear, take home for mom to wash, and put away in room. Whatever, I don’t need sleep. I’ve only got a 6 hour work day and 6 hour drive ahead of me.
p.s. Erica, are you sure I didn’t dent your car?? The other day, I realized...
Merry Deathmas.
I started watching Dead Like Me last night. By “started,” I mean that I got through 8 episodes. That’s 6 hours worth. Bryan Fuller is a golden god.
I can’t watch as many tonight, though. I need to pack and clean and load up my car for the drive home tomorrow. I also need to get some sleep because I have to be at work at 8:15, and I reallly can’t be late. Srsly....
Speaking of clothing with messages.. →
Is it weird that my first thought upon seeing this line was ‘Holy shit, how funny would it be to creep a teacher out with this‽‽ I wish I would have thought of this in high school”?? Like, gotten “My <3 belongs to a teacher” written on every article of clothing. shirt, jacket, backpack, pants (on the ass, of course), thong. and worn them all for a week straight. Then...
I feel like it's been 3 days.
Because I spent the whole day at work today. I really didn’t mind, though, because the alternative was to spend the whole day on my couch. plus, I made bank. And I learned to love gift wrapping. (Then hate it again, then love it again.) The customers were effing psychos, obvs. But they spent so much, I didn’t care.
I got my schedule fixed, too. So I won’t be able to leave for...
Chappy Hannukah!
We had to explain what an anti-semite was to a coworker today. This photo is in honor of that.
This is my favorite picnik effect. Because it makes me look like I could have just downed a bottle of Quaaludes.
Aaand, the money shot.
“I don’t think you’re doing a twelve hour shift, so you should be off...”
– The voicemail my mom left me. Which I listened to as I was driving away from my 12 hour shift at Macys. Don’t worry, I took a 30 minute lunch break. I love Christmas.
Watchlovememore:
This is pure magic. Get ready for Dispatches Ep. 3 because it’s going to rock non-stop.

LOLLLLLZZZZZZZZZZZ. We’re so amazing.
I had a really icky day today.
Or, rather, I finally felt the accumulation of a bunch of icky days. So, after work, (and an emotional phone call to my mother that convinced her to drive here to Columbia with Andrew for Christmas), I decided it would be fun to spread all the free fragrances I’ve accumulated out on the living room table. Especially since I got 2 new ones today.
Below is the result. Maybe I’ll...
