i could hold on forever


So, I worked a lot. Maybe I shouldn't have had that taste of a weekend all to myself. :p I did get down to see my family on Saturday, so that was good. I visited one of my aunts, who is also my car insurance agent, to renew my insurance, and then stopped to see my dad at work. That was nice, if only because his desk is covered in pictures of his new family all together. He says he doesn't have any recent pictures of me. Fun. Also! I got guilted into visiting my grandparents that I never see, and that was horribly depressing. I feel like I should go down there more, but I never have time, and...it's really depressing.

I hung out with my mother and sisters, though. And played with a new puppy.


Meet Cletus!


He's so little. And adorable. And I want him. One day, I will have a sweet little miniature puppy, too.

I have thoughts, but they're mostly about the characters and my shifting degree of love or hate for them. The plots this season really sucked. Really a lot. I was bored through the first half of the season, but I thought it picked up by the end. The last two episodes made me cry a whole lot, and if it weren't for Nate's stupid crazytown breakdown, I think the finale would be one of my favorite episodes so far.

But, my love for David Fisher continues to grow. I can't get enough of each of his relationships with the rest of his family. I know Nate is supposed to be the show's leading character, but since I'm pretty sure my days of really liking Nate's character are over and only going downhill from here, I wish the show had shifted its focus to David a little more. Ruth was previously one of my least favorite characters, but I kinda love her now. And Claire, well. I like Claire a lot, but she didn't really get a whole lot to do until the end of the season, besides whine about her art.

Also, and I think it's a testament to the crappiness of the other storylines this season, but I was really interested in Brenda and her family. I like the new and improved and fucked-up-in-ways-I-actually-like-watching Brenda, and I wish we hadn't been forced to sit through all her obnoxious drama in S2 to get to this point.

So, that's all I've got, but I don't feel like just skipping ahead to the series finale anymore, so, on to S4, I guess.

No. I did not have Conan O'Brien fall through the ceiling.

Hee. Yay for The Office!

Also. I love this picture. Clearly, for the adorable man in the background. NO, NOT TRACEY MORGAN.


Bradley!

Sooo...no one's going to be in the office with me for a couple of hours, and I'm running out of work to do, so I kinda wanna do the top 5 meme again, and I'm gonna steal Teija's line:

Ask me top fives or I'll silently resent you!

Please? BOREDOM MIGHT KILL ME!

Dude, that sucks about your dads photos. It's funny how people don't mean to hurt those around them, yet it happens all the time anyway.

I've never did watch S3 of SFU. And from your opinion of Nate here I'm glad I didn't.

JOOOOOOOOOOSH! I love that Bradley and his wife coordinate their outfits. And she looked SO GOOD! I wanted her to win, just, you know, because I love her by association.

Okay, since I'm feeling Joshy: top five Josh moments.

EEEE! I just watched that Emmy opening again. Dwights face KILLS ME!

I didn't like season 3 really at all, but thankfully I thought that was the only bad season of the series. Four gets better. Five is great.

SFU S3 is the only one I haven't watched all the way through. I tend to agree - the best parts tended to include Brenda and her mother. Her mother has some of the best lines.

S4 I found was slightly hit and miss, too, but necessary to get through to S5, which I thought was really great. The series finale is one of the best things ever recorded, you won't regret it. I recommend NOT reading any online reviews because people include very glaring spoilers in their reviews. If I hadn't seen the episodes when they first aired, I would have been pissed. Hope the surprises haven't been ruined for you.

Top 5 favorite cartoon shows.
