Son, Can I Bend Your Ear a Tick?
I've got this weird thing, it doesn't happen all the time, but enough to be annoying, where I end up folding my ear while I'm asleep and when I wake up my ear hurts like demons live in it. It's so sore that rubbing it actually hurts more, so I just have to wince for a while.

Have you ever heard of that? Does that ever happen to you?

I've spent the weekend watching Gilmore Girls Season Five, cleaning, destroying some electronics, giving myself spa treatments, etcetera.

"You did what?"

Yeah, a whole big pedicure foot spa treatment. It was great. Six steps: a soak, a scrub, sanding, callus lotion, balm, regular lotion...

"No, no, no, 'splain the bit about the 'destroying electronics.'"

Oh, that. My external CD drive was being a jerk, and now it's a dead jerk. I probably didn't do anything (yet) that can't be undone, but I did remove the sticker that voids the warranty. Not that it's a big deal, because I'm sure it's way older than the warranty would ever cover PLUS it stopped working entirely about a week ago.

The reason that I felt no qualms about busting it open was that it wasn't working at all. The worst part of that being that it died with a CD inside it--a CD that belongs to the St. Louis County Library. Somehow, I don't think they would be interested in receiving back the 17 CD audio book without disc 11. I think the next recipient would somehow find it lacking.

And despite all my dismantling, look at this:

See that green bit through the window of the metal box? That's disc 11. Despite all of my abundant raw strength--stop laughing, it's not that funny--the last little bit of dismantling (apparently the crucial bit) is beyond me. It needs a screwdriver with a star-shaped tip. I need that to get the bottom piece of plastic off, so that I can access the other two screws that will let me get the metal casing off and get to the CD. How annoying. But Katie is wicked handy (and has more tools than the rest of the girls I know combined--I think), and has something that (we hope) will work.

I love the Gilmore Girls. Love it. So imagine how freaking excited I was when Jen told me that the only (currently released) season I didn't own was on sale for super cheap at Target. Ran right out to purchase my very own copy.

I've always sort of thought of myself as pleasantly naive, particularly about crude references. This season of Gilmore Girls has an excellent example of what I mean.

There's an episode that ends with Logan climbing in Rory's window at Yale and there is kissing (etc.) and the following dialogue:

--Rory, you want me to go?
--No.
--Good, because if you think climbing in that window was hard...

Which then inspired the following dialogue in my life:

--Eww.
--What? It's sweet, he doesn't want to leave her.
--Uh, no. Hard?
--Gasp! NO! That is NOT what he was saying! It would be hard to leave!
--No.

I just feel like that's a little "blue" for the Palladinos (the writer / director / creators of the show). Nobody talks like that on this show.

From the commentary:

--We originally cast, as Lane's love interest in the band, Adam Brody.
--What happened to him?
--He's on a show called "The Ock." I don't know what that means.
--Sounds kind of science-fiction-y.

See? They miss Dave too! I am going to take this to mean that if the OC hadn't stolen him away, Lane would have married Dave instead of stupid old Zack.

OOH! Guess what? I was watching The N last night, and saw the teaser for the next season of Degrassi, and guess what??? SEAN'S BACK! For real. Not just on the internet like last time.

He's coming back for Emma, it's gonna be awesome!

Ready for the sad part? Season premiere on 9/29. I know that doesn't sound tragic, but that's while I'm in FLORIDA!! Gilmore Girls AND Degrassi are going to premiere while I'm gone. I'm going to have to figure out the timers on the digital cable.

The N has the best quizzes:


Cameron's the best one! I'm excited.







I think I'm going to do a facial today, too.
