It's not going to be a good day when you open your email and the only two comments on your LJ are spam. The same spam as yesterday in fact! Harbinger of Doom? Maybe.
I always thought Steak and Ale pie was a way to get rid of leftover roast. But I couldn't find a single recipe that didn't call for uncooked meat. So I modified one of those recipes using my chunk-o-roast from the freezer. Tonight, just have to pour on the Yorkshire pudding topping and bake it. Then
ninjababe is going to colour my hair in preparation of my haircut. Haircut and no gray! Yay!
We got caught up on Burn Notice last night. Damn, I love that show!! It is full of pure awesome.
Was reading some of the comments yesterday of people who've seen the new cut of The Source, and apparently it sucks even more than the Russian one did! Way to go, PTBs! A real accomplishment there.
And in honour of FRIDAY, the comments are open for a free for all, a rumble, a hootenanny, a shindig even! There will be comestibles and an assortment of adult beverages for you to enjoy when you visit. I'll see you there.

Army Wives
Date: 2007-08-24 06:12 pm (UTC)From:Re: Army Wives
Date: 2007-08-24 07:28 pm (UTC)From:I haven't seen "Army Wives". But I love "The Unit" for it's combination of Special Forces action and back-home drama.
I'm almost done with that recording of "Olive Branch", and it turns out that my iPod isn't really dead, it was just having a little nap. Also, the BSG vid I'm working on seems to have confused the crap out of my beta.
I'm back to work Monday, after my Summer of doing nothing. It will be hard, hard, hard.
Re: Army Wives
Date: 2007-08-24 07:32 pm (UTC)From:I've heard The Unit is good, but I've never seen it. I think it might have been one of those DVR schedule conflict ones :)
Sounds like you've been busy! And yeah, having to go back to work must be hard. Do you like what you do, or is it just a job that pays the bills?

Date: 2007-08-24 08:02 pm (UTC)From:I teach math and science to 14 year-olds in an urban middle school. It's fun; they're crazy.
But the talented and friendly special education teacher that I was co-teaching with for 2 hours a day has left, and I'm not sure yet who they'll be pairing me up with this year. I'm a bit anxious about it.

On the plus side, the Lotto is up to $300 million. I have tickets. If you never hear from me again after tomorrow night, you'll know why. *beams*

And can I say, I adore Fiona. They're doing a very good job making her a good character and not just important only as a love interest.

And they followed it up with a second episode that dealt nicely with it, too!
Love!!
