The thing that is making me happiest in the world this Saturday is my Pumpkin Spice coffee creamer. Nom nom nom. I love fall.

ukefied mentioned this earlier today, but a '60s icon died this week. Who didn't grow up listening to Puff the Magic Dragon as a kid? Mary Travers of Peter, Paul and Mary passed away.

Do I watch the new Merlin or Sons of Anarchy first? I hope this is the toughest decision I have to make all day.

I had to caption the Jonas Brothers "Paranoid" last night at work. :/ It... wasn't horrible.

Anyone got any good crockpot recipes? I am new to crockpot cooking, so suggestions and tips are welcome too. (I did end up making my chicken enchiladas last week. Threw some leftover spinach inside them too. Again with the Nom nom nom!)

This is my favorite picspam ever.

( And now for the Pirates on my flist )

Just out of curiosity who on my flist is watching Glee? I know some of you, but I'm wondering if there are any closet Glee fans? Anyway, if you were into performing at all in hs (choir, band, jazz band, etc.) you'd probably love the show. Plus there's some interesting behind-the-scenes stuff. I'm not a fan of the humor on the show, but the showpieces more than make up for it. ( See? )

I try to visit Day in Pictures as often as I can.

Picking this is probably the hardest one of all, since y'all know I've been pimping my ebook reader recently. (Still love it!) I decided to combine both ebooks and fanfic. There's this site called The Ebook Library which houses fanfic from a number of fandoms formatted for ebook readers. The biggest collection is, of course, Supernatural, (with SGA being a close second) but there are a few other fandoms represented as well. It's run by amothea.

I share fic recs a lot, so y'all get your fill of those, I'm sure. Though if you want to convince me to upload an actual eBook... I might be persuaded.

My cat Spooks loves this toy so much it's silly. I don't even have to do anything-- she'll play with it all by herself for like an hour. I should buy a few more. It's so simple too. Rolls of cardboard threaded on some wire. She'll pick it up by one end to carry it, then get freaked out and pounce on the other end when it follows her. So cute!

So it's official. No Colorado for me. I switched my ticket to Texas for Thanksgiving. I'm actually kind of excited about this because I haven't seen my sister in a couple years and I've never been to Texas. Apparently there is Renaissance Festival plans and we might take an overnight trip to San Antonio to see the Alamo and Riverwalk too. *glee* But I'm still kinda sad about not getting to visit loose_pages_sd and tameiki1 in Colorado. :/

No one said it would be consecutive:

OMG:


( I cut the rest because I love you )


Food, then Target, then TV and editing my Vancouver pics. Hmmm, maybe I should have sorted them before uploading.


Man, the ebook comm must have got tos'd. There was some stuff there I wanted to grab too.

(Do you know how hard it was to narrow it down to 10? Most of the spots were easy, but when it came to the last few, there were a lot of contenders for those spots.)

Pira over on IJ just got back from a two-week trip to Kyoto and she's got some gorgeous pictures up with interesting commentary. For all you arm-chair travelers. ;)

I worked on a foreign film last night-- The Rebel, in Vietnamese (and some French) and I kept recognizing one of the actors' voice. Finally I had to go to IMDB to check out if it was who I thought it was. It was! \o/ Harry! Dustin Nguyen from 21 Jump Street. He's aged welllll! Now I am curious if he's moved back to Vietnam. ETA: Nope, just filmed a couple of movies there.
