1. Ahh, Monday. Nothing says Monday like a slightly stale bagel and a cherry Coke for breakfast.

2. Found out via office email that I have next Thursday and Friday off. That is exciting.

3. This is my ode to brapolitics: Noelle, my sweet, I lurve you. This chick sent a package of cookies, high quality chocolate, and my favorite chai to my house, with the cutest little note ever, and omg, I am totally smitten.

4. Which reminds me. My one back-up care package thingamabobby is being sent tomorrow.

5. I am getting a second fish tonight! Poor Wasabi has hated being all alone. So to Petsmart I go. I am hereby soliciting appropriate Japanese-food names that are not Sushi or Sashimi, God rest their little finny souls.

6. In more macabre news, police shot and killed a man on Saturday for armed robbery on the Baltimore metro-- two stops down from me, to be exact. They think that this man had something to do with a whole slew of robberies in the Reisterstown & Pikesville area-- right along the Metro route, wouldn't you know? Considering the abandoned car I found under the Old Court line this week and... well, it's a smidge morbid and creepifying, you know? Check it out.

7. Finished season 1 of Supernatural. After watching the gag reel, it's official-- I am smitten with Jared and Jensen. I think my favorite episode of the season was 'Scarecrow.' Now, to bittorrent the first 7 eps of this season so I can be all caught up.

8. Strangely unrelated-- I had terrible nightmares all last night. It was the kind of thing where I'd wake up, then fall back asleep-- straight into the same nightmare. In my dream, I was in the NJ Pine Barrens, and I met up with... not the Jersey Devil, but the Wendigoes that I'm researching for my novel. I did glean one thing from my dream that makes the Wendigoes extra scary-- when light is shined on them, even if they don't move, their shadows skitter away. That, and they have creepy ice-white eyes that glow blue.

9. Slither was quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. The only thing making it remotely worth it were the special features with/ragging on Nathan Fillion. But overall-- are you fucking kidding me? I can't believe that movie got released. The mayor had some pretty hysterical lines, though.
