Some points of interest

[mizarchivist]

at least interesting to me

-My pants (bought within the past few months- in fact, have more than one pair) are too big. I can live with this problem.
-In the same vein, I've been doing some sort of cardio and/or core strengthening for over half a year and by gum, I think it's working!
-pseudo-found money is awesome
-friends who provide crac...um, Veronica Mars make me very happy.
-Looking at the budlets on the trees and shrubbery now elicit feelings of anticipation not dread. Dread was when I noticed them over a month ago
-Accidental easter egg hunts are to be avoided. While I applaud Cadbury for making smaller versions of their eggs, the packaging is unreliable. I did find all of them, though. I would have been severely unhappy to find a squishy chocolate egg in 2 weeks... when I step on it. Bad form, archivist.
-I'm rereading Mil Millington's Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About. I've been trying to get into the groove with Last Draw Call by Tim Powers, but it's darker than I really want at the moment. Not that I've given up. Not yet.
-After 2 weeks hiatus, I'm keen on going to Diesel tonight.
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

OK, share the Veronica Mars crack?

I think I'll make Diesel tonight, unless my cold takes a turn for the worse.

Last Call is probably the title you meant and no, it doesn't get much less dark. It is a lot of fun, if you're in that mood.

Veronica Mars is Nancy Drew 90210 with major Buffy 'tude. Oh, and angst. I used Netflix to watch season 1, now have folk helping me via VHS tapse (Robin) and other folk (Aries/SamuraiZ) with bit-torrenty goodness for the remainder of the missing episodes.
Thus far, I've seen cameos from Alyson Hannigan, Charisma Carpenter, and Kevin Smith. Joss is also featured as a cameo. Charisma may well be a secondary character for the season. The first episode she was in a bikini. Just sayin'.
You're right. "Call" not "Draw." Thanks for the confirmation. I'll try again after Mil's done.

OK Charisma Carpenter in a bikini. I'm there. Long hair or short? I'll give it a gander, at least for an ep or two.

Long (past shoulders, but not much farther). This was the premiere ep from season 2. I will have to return the tape that has this one on, but I bet we know someone who could hook you up.

Most excellent things. See you at Diesel tonight; I'll be there right around 6.

How's Things My Girlfriend...? It's one of those books I'd seen on the shelf at work and wondered if I'd like.

Love it. His sentence structure is such that you can pretty much hear it clearly in your head. Reminicent of Morford. But English. From what I can tell, he takes vingettes from his life and used them to bolster a fictional tale.
See you tonight!
