Monday Musings...

[savageseraph]

The only good thing about this Monday is that tomorrow is Friday for me and a long stretch of time off lies before me. I hope the giant dead roach I found in the hall isn't an omen for how the week is going to go. Perhaps like the deaths of famous people, horrific bug encounters come in threes, and this is the last of my trilogy of terror.

In other news, I moved cubes at work, including relocating all my hardware and reconnecting my computer and phone to the network. Go me. I also finished the three things from week-end and month-end from Friday that didn't get done on Friday. Go me squared.

At home, I trimmed Ripley's nails, including the hellishishly hard-to-get-to dew claw that was never removed when she was a wee pup. I did, however, nip into the quick on one nail, so I was wrapping her paw an puttig pressure on it...while she was eating the nail clippings around her. *sigh* Eating the equivalent of toenails is not nice.

Other than that, I had my double-dip of Gordon Ramsey, which always makes Mondays a little bit nicer. However, I have to say that the increasing number of "To Be Continued" two-parters on Hell's Kitchen this season is irksome. I want to know someone is going to be cut at the end of the hour. That's fair, isn't it?

I have a confession to make. I've also been pouring over TomKat break-up stories with intense fascination. Oh, and just how the fuck did I miss the multiple sexual assault charges against Travolta filled by male masseurs and a male porter?

I do hope that was the last in your buggy trilogy of terror. Ick.

Oh, TomKat... *sighs over them* I've been secretly obsessed with them from the beginning. I seriously am surprised that they didn't last longer (I must be crazy!). Anyway, yes, lots of interesting stories out right now.

I've been reading A LOT about them in the last four days or so. I guess I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did, not because of them as people, but the Scientology stuff that started bubbling up around the time she was pregnant with Suri made me go O_O.

If the reports are true and Tom was planning on sending Suri off to their one center, I can see why Katie would get her and her child out.

Enjoy your time off!:D

I was a little surprised that the TomKat thing didn't last longer, but I really don't know how you missed the JT stuff. It's been all over the gutter press here. (Which, of course I don't lower myself to read. *Ahem*)

The ghastly Mail, which hates Sean, relishes printing stories making him out to be a thuggish wife-beater and rakes up his marital history at every opportunity, has published that the Police have told him he will face no charges over the harassment-by-text allegations from his last ex. They must be very disappointed, but out came all the wedding pics again to cheer them up.

I'm rather surprised I missed that too. It's just the sort of story that would have captured my sense of the ridiculous and absurd. I could barely read the lines that the porter accused him of saying--something along the lines of "Please fuck me now. I need you to fuck me, and I'll make it worth your while"--without LOLing all over the place.

Poor Sean. I know that characterization bothers caras_galadhon a lot.

You watch Hell's Kitchen too? How awesome. I keep missing it though >.

I LOVE Hells Kitchen and Master Chef. I mainline Fox every Monday/Tuesday now, since it's both shows back to back.

*dies of Ramsey love*

Honestly, I'm not as impressed with this bunch of Hell's Kitchen chefs. What they lack in cooking and kitchen management, they make up for in drama and mouthiness.

Roaches are a horrific bug. I normally don't mind bugs, but they make my skin crawl.

Sometimes celebrity gossip makes life a little more bearable.

[savageseraph.livejournal.com]

I know. While all bugs horrify my phobic self deeply, roaches are like unholy, soul-shrivelling abominations. *shudders*

And yeah. Celeb gossip is a distraction from more mundane troubles.

Ripley eats nail-clippings? OK, your dog wins the weirdness of the day award. :-)

I've been reading the Katie Holmes escape stories with breathless fascination. I don't know why - I guess I want her to be safe and free.

[savageseraph.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean about the safe and free. It's sort of he same sense of relief I felt for Nicole Kidman. Though it seems that Holmes is going to put up a fight about Suri.

She does eat them. I was like, "What's that crunching? EWWWW!" Way to self-cannibalize, little hound.
