MAN, I LOVE SUNSHINE. THE WARM KIND. I had to work a late shift last night at work, then a super early shift this morning, so I only got 2.5 hours of sleep, but after work, instead of taking a nap like I wanted, I got shit done! COFFEE and SUNSHINE. Nature's Energizer batteries.

I went to the Arboretum and looked at FLOWERS BLOOMING and lay in the sun for a little while and walked around a lot in the warm sunshine - I love it when Spring finally comes to Seattle. Nothing could ever induce me to move back to the Gulf Coast, though.

Yay for laying in the sun! Spring & summer in the northwest is pretty much my favorite part of life. It might be a hard slog through the winter sometimes, but oh, how it makes it that much better when the sun returns. I almost went out to Scenic Beach (in Seabeck, about a 30 minute drive from my house), but decided to be a responsible adult and take care of errands. But at least I go to do them with the sun shining on me and the windows rolled down!

The series finale of Secret Diary of a Call Girl was depressing as hell

Me too, mostly to my students. One of them tried to tell my class that the tsunami was a good thing--less people on Earth and more jobs for us. I went BALLISTIC on him in front of the whole class and was actually fearful of losing my job over it. I am so SICK of red-neck parents and the complete hatred and BULLSHIT they spew into their children's minds. Japan is hardly a threat to anyone's jobs. Especially is the areas these individuals probably live. I'm still having constant arguments with people over the chance of radiation on the west coast. I think it's a small chance and insignificant, others (who don't really even know what radiation is or where it comes from) seem to disagree. Regardless, I've seen more than my share of dead bodies on news covering Japan and even if I'm going to get a slight dose of radioactive decay, I'll just be glad I had the option to enjoy another day on this planet before my time comes.

Amen. So we all need to catch every single live Lanegan show we can! ;D
I just saw a snippet of Nancy Grace on the Daily Show last night and she was ignorantly questioning an expert on the risks of radiation in the US. If we could somehow eliminate stupid daytime TV, maybe we would have less ignorance.

So, the new Pixar movie, Brave, is set in a mythical kingdom where Billy Connelly & Emma Thompson are King & Queen. AKA, my dream world.

Zombie ninjas! In my perfect world, Jane Austen would have written Pride and Prejudice and Zombies....

Blech! I can't stand Austen. So fucking boring. But Depp as a ninja with Lanegan in the background sounds very nice.

Mr. Darcy is still a pompous ass though.

Word. I have never, EVER understood why Mr Darcy is viewed at The Dreamboat of All Time. If we're talking Austen men, I'll take Henry Tilney every time. He's fucking hilarious.

Yeah, Darcy's no pick of the litter. I guess I should really amend my statement and say in my perfect world Jane Austen wrote the queer Pride, Prej and Zombies. Darcy'd be a lot more fun if he were a raging closet poofter. But then the ending's kinda blown, unless Elizabeth only marries him to get at his sister. Although it wasn't funny I really enjoyed Android Karenina, too. I'm loving these literary mash-ups.

I see I'm not the only one who needed zombies in order to appreciate Austen ;D I'm not sure if "Sense and Sensibility and Seamonsters" will be quite as fun a read (strangely enough - that just sounds too silly). But "The Meowmorphosis" is most definitely on my to-read list as soon as it comes out.
