Get the Daily Round-Up Before It's Gone, Gone, Gone, Gone, Gone

The last few days, I have been spending afternoons trying to catch up with Tivo. Tivo is fast. Tivo is cool. But Tivo gets soooo far ahead of me when I don't pay attention to him every single day. Anyway, I'm cleaning out the Gilmore Girls eps that I didn't recognize as already-watched & delete (some of them are brand new to me!... why did I not watch these during their first-run?... hmm, well, I guess there was a time there when I missed a few -- traveling & the like -- when I didn't have Tivo to capture them for me as they happened... and I was too lazy to fire up the VCR or PC to record). Tonight, I've completely finished watching everything that Tivo grabbed during July... well, GG eps, that is. I think there are still some movies and miscellaneous crap that have the 7/something date beside the titles. Anyway, I'm once again feeling a wonderful sense of accomplishment (the first great feeling of accomplishment for the week was a couple of days ago when I finally got someone from FutureTrees to call me back about this dead tree of mine! By the way, I do believe he's coming back tomorrow to take out the old & plant the new. How EXCITING!!! A real life living tree in the back yard. WOW). But... the watching of the Tivo'd GG... Loving it. Of course, it's quite tiring trying to keep up with those gals. They're quick, I tell ya.

So, let's see. Other very fun news for the day... I found a very exciting web site tonight (via Digg maybe... no, I think it was Lifehacker... geez, you're right, I have waaaaaay too many RSS feeds) that promises to send me manageable daily read-in-a-few-minutes e-mailed excerpts of novels. Their FAQ mentioned copyright issues, so I was quite surprised at the selection that they actually offer (when I finally made it to the select-your-novel page... actually, didn't take that long at all... the page possibly needs a little more bulking up... nothing worse than hitting what you think could be a rockin' web site only to be left confused about its mission in life). Anyway, there are actually 165 titles in this little set-up! No, I didn't count. I let Excel do the counting for me. Yes, I created a spreadsheet. I love spreadsheets. They're my THING. Don't judge me. Spreadsheets and fast food. That's what I've got, people. Oh yeah... AND, just this once, I also have ROLLER COASTERS. Yep... looking VERY forward to that! Haley & I are heading to Charlotte tomorrow evening to have a sisters-night-out (or in with a bottle of something fun), a full day of junk-food-eating & roller-coaster-riding hilarity, and another sisters-night-out (probably watching Carolina... GOD HELP US... win their football game!) Saturday night. Then, fun fun fun, I fly to Ottawa on Sunday. Ottawa. Yeah, well... hopefullly, it'll be a blast. Sometimes these things turn out better than they sound. Actually, this one sounds pretty interesting (to me, don't ask what it is... you'd all laugh at my lame-ness); so, hopefully, it'll live up to, at the very least, the idea I have of it in my mind. Don't you wish you could go to Ottawa with me? I know. It just sounds sooooo glamorous. LOL

Well... that's enough chatting for me. I'm chatted out, and it's time for bed. Especially if I'm gonna get the rest of my GG collection watched tomorrow (there are other things I must do as well... some of which really are work-related, I swear boss). Here's hoping Christopher makes lots of guest appearances on the ones I have left. Love him. :) Night, y'all.

Oh yeah, the web site I was talking about before: http://dailylit.com. And, because I just can't help it, a couple more pics for you. #1 - Another of Forsythe, well mainly the garage... and a little of the office. #2 - I'm enamoured with the sky at my house. This was one of our frequent afternoon T-storms.
