bohemia: (BTD - Sleepin' on the job)
I AM SO BEHIND ON EVERYTHING. It's almost 10pm and I have a laundry list of shows I need to catch up on. Ridiculous. I blame Burn Notice and Falling Skies for being more than an hour each (Fall of Sam Axe and the premiere, the 2-hour premiere and the third episode).

The starling is doing fine. I still haven't decided on a name but I think I'm going with Starly. I liked Bronx Strong but it's an awkward name for a bird. When he's a few months older I might change the name to Staravia. Staraptor is just an awkward name all around. I was thinking of calling it Starbuck (my Starly in Pokemon is named Starbuck and she is MY FAVORITEEEEEEEE on my team) but I am not a big fan of BSG and can't with good conscience call this adorable bird Starbuck. Today was a fun day. I decided he was big enough to learn to eat by himself and put him in a cage with food and water. Mostly I wanted to make sure I could leave for hours/days at a time and know he'd be able to feed himself if my mom couldn't get to him immediately. He didn't understand what the food was, but found the water and tried to take a bath in it. So my mom and I cleared the kitchen sink, covered it with a paper towel so he wouldn't slide about and let the water filter drip like it was a showerhead. He's dry and happy again now, but boy, did he enjoy that bath.

My phone just went haywire. The battery was stuck at 84%, the time at 5:54pm (it was 8:42pm), nothing was downloading and I wasn't getting any calls and texts. A reboot seems to have fixed it, but I'm due for an upgrade in November and it can't get here fast enough. The good news: while looking for my replacement charger cable (turns out my PS3 controller wire also connects to my phone), I found my camera's cable. I will get to uploading pictures from the last two weekends now, since it's too late to think of starting my TV catchup now.

Since I haven't been watching TV I've noticed the only shows I'm really missing are How I Met Your Mother, Archer and Psych. Archer just makes me genuinely laugh out loud each week. I stopped following the Psych accounts on Twitter and I don't miss it. However, someone mentioned watching Psych to me recently and I interpreted that as "watching the new season" and for a second I went, "IT STARTED WITHOUT ME?" before I realized they meant catching up on DVD. But I'm not excited for the new season and I haven't watched a new episode at 10pm in a while. I haven't marathoned it in ages and I don't really care about doing anything besides collecting it on DVD and waiting for it to finish/get canceled.

Eventually I will catch up with all my shows again--probably sometime within the next two weeks--but it's been interesting that the only spoilers I've been upset about reading (besides the Being Human UK finale because that was a big one and I inevitably won't react the same once I get there myself) are HIMYM spoilers.

In other media news, I downloaded Pulse for my phone. I realized that I get most of my news from Twitter now, but I never follow any news accounts because they invariably have a link to a story/video and I'm not following people to click on links (pictures, ok. videos with descriptions more detailed than "what", maybe). I want my news to be a one click progress. Pulse will download stories the night before and when I get up in the morning, yes it's one more thing to check, but it's also informative! I don't seem to take up more than half an hour just reading from Pulse and, if in the middle of the day I find myself constantly refreshing other sites to look at, I'll pull out my phone and read some NYTimes articles or the top stories from Digg or the headlines from Esquire or GQ. It's pretty cool. I'm still trying to decide how to function in this new world I live in that has no summer and winter breaks, long work days and small windows of time to unwind. Where TV, comics, movies, writing, fandom, games, web surfing, graphics, reading etc falls has yet to be seen.

At least music is something I'm always up on since I gave up on being current and following what I like a while ago. To be fair, listening to music has sort of fallen by the wayside as I catch up on all the video podcasts, but I generally still listen to at least an hour of music a day. Except that lately I've been all about songs from Film Riot's customized sponsor skits. All the Revision3 shows have their own sponsor bits, but most of them are just copy they read on camera. Sometimes they'll go into witty banter that the fans love (Dan reading about Netflix on TRS, Kevin not understanding how to read numbers on Diggnation/messing up codes), but Film Riot is unique in that they tend to make them into silly sketches. I think every Film Riot fan has their own favorite sponsor bits, but the Ford Fiesta one has been in my head the last two days.

Also, I'm not sure I've ever shared this, but I'm upset that Inst Msgs was canceled and I've always loved this segment from it, so I finally threw it on my iPod.

Other stuff I'm into recently include the new Britney Spears and The Strokes albums (but anyone who knows me knows that's a given), Lykke Li's albums and Childish Gambino's stuff. This weekend was kind of blah for me, so I am glad to be done catching up with podcasts. I need to zone out to music.

I have no real reason to post. I just felt like cleaning out the memes I've been racking up.

Also anyone have a Dreamwidth code? I'm not jumping ship, but Vox is closing down this month so now I only have one backup journal at InsaneJournal. I only really need one, but I've always kept at least two open. *OCD* Thanks, Kaci. FYI: My Dreamwidth account.

I'm still finalizing my fall TV schedule, lol. There's only about three new shows that I definitely want to watch. Everything else is just sort of "I'll watch and see."

Onto memes now, yes?
