Live a little

[fredericks]

Today was my first twelve hour day. As I'd originally suspected, time flies when you're on the floor with a full patient load. Also as I'd originally suspected, by the end of the shift my feet were killing me. The one ray of light with that last point was that it was both feet and solely the feet; my bad ankle/knee didn't really act up. The nurse I worked with was loads more professional than the (albeit) nice one I was partnered with last Monday, and I left the floor feeling like I'd learned tons of stuff...one of those things being never get between an IV drug user and his Dilaudid, because he will make it his business to fuck your day up. Other than that, not too bad. Next day of work is Saturday - yay! to flex schedules!

Heroes was teh awesome tonight for the most part, 'cept for the time spent with Mohinder and the way the writers feel it their civic duty to leave crap unanswered. I don't watch Lost for a reason, peeps. But more Peter, please! I like the way he owned up to being a bit lame in the powers department if not in the vicinity of another super. There's a reason why pre-Ms. Marvel Rogue carried a gun, man. And wore high-heeled boots. Okay, maybe there wasn't necessarily a reason for that last bit, but Peter in high-heeled boots?

Moving on.

More randomness - I want the entirety of due South on DVD for Christmas. I'm all into the show and I haven't seen more than the pilot on YouTube *ahem*and read fic but yeah*ahem*. I'm all about the oblique silliness. And the Paul Gross. Oh yeah, with the Paul Gross...

Moving on again.

I got a kick out of seeing Emma Thompson recommend The Vintner's Luck in this week's Entertainment Weekly. Aside from the fact that she spoiled a huge surprise in the book with the phrasing of her rec (then again, what's an issue of EW without major spoilers of some sort, eh?), it'd be great to have certain people pick up the book (which is beautifully written, as Ms. Thompson states) and then find themselves gobsmacked by the...well, you know. It's a book I have to get around to purchasing.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd sleep time. Sleep then study.

Soooo glad to hear the job's going well!!!

And yay for flex schedules indeed!! It's a good thing times flies. :)

On another note: I was up late last night and flipping through the channels, and I came across Conan, and his guest was the dude that plays Hiro from Heroes (Masi Oka...I think that's his name...I feel bad if I've butchered it), and I thought of you. That guy is absolutely adorable. I think after seeing him that one time, I want to steal him from the tv and have his babies and get to know him.

PS. Your icon makes me smile really, really big.

I mailed your hat yesterday! And I included a rambling note written in a cold delirium.

ACK!! OMIGOD, L.! Why didn't you, like, use your telepathy and tell me Oka would be on Conan??? Okay, you need to swear to me (heart's promise, even) that if you run across something interesting on the telly you'll concentrate really hard and tell me what's up. Or you could just text me or some junk. :) Isn't he the cutest thing? Me and about ten kazillion fans of the show want to steal him and use him for our own personal cuddly toy.

Thanks for the job good vibes, and re: the icon - isn't it amazing? Scrubs rocks.

Don't be startled when you get some sort of holiday thinggey from me as well. Be forewarned. :)

I don't blame y'all! He really is too adorable for words.

I bought The Vintner's Luck after you reviewed it on your LJ. I haven't read it yet, but it's definitely high on the list. I'm excited for it!

It's very engrossing. I'm glad you picked it up and I hope you like it. :)

Speaking of which, this is very very late but I got Assasination Vacation. Thank you very much for giving it to me. I still have your address so I was planning on sending you a holiday greeting card of sorts. Be forewarned.
