wonder what you've missed

+ [Bad username or site: sensefille / @ livejournal.com] is coming over for dinner and the Yanks/A's game later. We find ourselves completely incapable of deciding what we'll be having. I have the Food Network on right now, hoping to be struck by divine inspiration. (ooh, salmon!)

+ ( Textbook returns go straight to Beth and Co. )

Fall is going to smell delicious, and I think it shall be BPAL that saves me once baseball leaves again.

+ I finished watching Before Sunrise this morning (I fell asleep to it last night). Such a girly movie but I really liked it. Must see Before Sunset now. I loved how stripped down it was, no melodrama (though it was threatening, towards the end there), no politics, no death, no soul-crushing pain, just this boy and this girl and a lucky meeting on a train. Sweetness and light.

+ Which you know, was kinda what I needed after the news about the Chief Justice passing.

+ Also, my journal editor gave me a box of Tazo's Calm. Which is cool, because I love Tazo teas but I'm way too cheap to buy them for myself.

+ Did an flist cut, and I don't think I'm gonna be around for a while. Just a head's up.

+ [Bad username or site: mypetorchid / @ livejournal.com] introduced me to this really fun Canadian band - The Stars.

The Stars - Your Ex-Lover Is Dead
and all of the time you thought I was sad / I was trying to remember your name

The Stars - Reunion
Tainted Love's too fast to dance to / so let's leave them all behind / they hated us with everything they had / and we hated them in kind

The Stars - One More Night
one more night, the end should be a good one

But before I book -

I had no idea that Kathleen 'Bird' York, responsible for In The Deep (the gorgeous theme from Crash), is the same Kathleen York who plays Andie Wyatt on TWW.

That's pretty damn cool.

Reason #12 to love her. ("Maryland!")

ETA: Season 4 of 24 is running on A&E now? Um, why? Not that I'm complaining, now, I can catch the last 4 eps of the season.
