(no subject)

Well, LJ land's all abuzz about season finales, none of which I'm up on - I've gotten rather out of the habit of thinking of Tuesday as anything special (even though I do try to catch House when I remember it's on). Toys and I were rewatching The Frighteners on Sci-Fi as a warm up to falling asleep. How's that for thrills? (I should warn any newcomers to my LJ that aside from lingering Buffy or Angel discussions and fic posts, I'm most likely to pipe up with stuff like I-rented-this-horror-movie or I-read-this-comic as opposed to something TV-related - there really isn't a show I'm following right now, Doctor Who downloads aside, unless South Park counts, or The Daily Show. My heart belongs largely to whatever random stuff's playing on Sci-Fi or Comedy Central.) That said, man of the house toysdream saw a trailer last night for the Discovery Channel's upcoming Alien Planet show, and he practically developed new muscles to make astonished happy faces. And yes, he's getting guardedly excited about Star Wars. Maybe we'll see some other movies once his final projects are over.

Other than that... ( Mostly Music )

Sightem on the way to get coffee for Toys, who's now stirring - little boy of about 5 or 6 in a Spider-Man costume, complete with full-head mask. Nice job too, all fabric, probably stitched together by an enthusiastic mom. Everybody, all together now, say "awww...."

In the Closet

Things I learned from Animal Crossing - it's better to sell extra stuff than keep it and store it; you can always buy new later if you need it. My own hoarding tendencies can indeed backfire - housecleaing, I discovered gift certificates from Toys and my wedding, eight years ago, some of which have expired - oops! Well, thought that counts, right? Plus our apartment at the time was so small that I doubt we could have fit an actual-sized gift. Luckily, though, some certificates had no expiration date, mwah hah ha, so Crate and Barrel, here I come. I think I'm old enough now to be able to justify a small set of matching flatware.

The music purge continues - jeezus, please us, what a lot of CDs we've got. It's a simple routine now - digitize 'em, trade 'em for cash. My music library's turning into a dizzying monster, but at least this way I'm airing out old things I've been stockpiling all this time, unheard.

Possible celebrity encounter of the upcoming weekend - WWE wrestler Kurt Angle is in town to sign autographs for a charity event. It's tempting, oh yes...
