it's all good ~

the good news is: summer school is over!

les bonnes nouvelles sont: i'm still in the running for the u of m job!

las buenas noticias son: i've decided to love my ugly trees in spite of themselves and i'm moving forward on the project (someone throw a parade, quick!).

het goede nieuws is: it's 62 degrees this morning.

die guten nachrichten sind: i'm applying for an archival assistantship position on friday.

i'm giving myself the day off from fretting, job-hunting, scrounging, and blithering in the grips of the deadly mung. i'm having a day of doodling, painting, and playing with the dogs.

i also watched the first four episodes of the first season of Rescue Me (yeah, i have a long way to catch up). i'm liking the show muchly. who doesn't love firemen? that's all good too.



and this feels like one of those "oh gee, i paid for my lj, i guess i ought to use it" posts, so i will stop now.

here's to hoping you are all having a day of all good too!

RESCUE ME IS THE BEST SHOW EVER. I love it so much. Denis Leary is so hot. And so is Dean Winters. And everybody. Season 1 is great, but it only gets better.

Rescue Me... oooooh boy.

It started out awesome but then it started getting really messed up. Tommy raping his wife, his wife "raping" him, his sister-in-law "raping" him, sleeping with his ex-sister-in-law, his wife sleeping with his brother...

Wow. Problematic galore. But while Leary is unapologetic and is desperate for this kind of attention-grabbing shock act, the writers apologetically explain that the characters are intentionally severly messed up to do the absolute wrong things and respond in the absolute inappropriate ways. Unfortunately, there are a lot of dumbass men out there who'll say, "Well, she raped him back so it's okay that he did that." Not cool... but oh well. I just hope they don't win the Emmy. Did the Emmys happen already?

Holy polyglot, Batman!

And, yay for the end of summer school and the start of so many new things!

My folks love that show. You'll have to tell me whether it's worth the rental or not. :-)

Firemen are modern-day knights. Yeah, they are.
