A Friday blog, in which I ramble...

Happy Friday everyone!
I wish that I had a really good topic to focus on today-I thought about it all the way to work. I tried to will a topic to come to me. But alas, I could not find a single one to focus enough of my thoughts on.
So I thought I would just ramble and see what comes out...this could go really good, or really really bad.
How about Grey's Anatomy last night!?!? How about Kevin McKidd last night!?!? I have a lot of people who didn't watch it last night, so I won't ruin it, but I will say this-I'm rooting for Grey's. It hit a bit of a murky area a couple episodes back and everything was kind of twisted around and weird, but I have HOPE. I have so much hope, that this is going to pull thru and looking back you will go-oh okay-that's why we went on the weird journey. Tonite's episode help strengthen me in that. Some acting shout-outs-KEVIN FRIGGIN' MCKIDD-love him. I have loved him since HBO's Rome and his ill fated Journeyman on NBC, I think he's amazing, his intensity is perfection. Really it is. Jeffery Dean Morgan-I know Denny's dead and I know it's all weird, but I could watch that man stare at paint. As long as he was staring at something with a passion. I was so crabby when they killed him off the first time and bringing him back is just like a cruel trick. It would have been neat to see how someone had a relationship with someone who WASN'T a doctor and have it be successful. Like what it could have been with Izzie and Denny if he hadn't died and all. So anyway-love Grey's. My two favorite scenes were Kevin McKidd in the shower and Denny sitting next to Alex and saying they had to talk.

Moving on...merging to the right...
It's the weekend! Yay! Here are my plans for this weekend. Hopefully I shake this funk and want to be around people and will go to my mom's after work cocktail hour at her house tonite, but I'm not feeling optimistic about it. I still stink like funk. Its all over me, it's like when you drink too much and then next day, even though you laid in the bathtub an eternity, you can still smell the booze seeping thru the skin. Skin seeping funk. So anyway, I might go to that tonite, Seth is going on his way home. My other dilemma I am running on fumes due to the weather and everyone in Omaha on the interstate going 25 miles an hour and killing my gas mileage. So I would have to stop and get gas and that sounds like it would be no fun...we will see.
Saturday I don't want to do anything. I want to read my books. Because Sunday I am supposed to see Geraldine Brooks-who wrote a book called "People of the Book" and she won an Pulitzer Prize for it. I just got the book from my Grandma and it is really good so I want to get it all done before I see her speak so I can ask good questions.
The book is really good-here is the description if you have time to read it I highly recommend it, even though I'm only 100 some pages in...
“Inspired by the true story of a mysterious codex known as the Sarajevo Haggadah, People of the Book is a sweeping adventure through five centuries of history. From its creation in Muslim-ruled, medieval Spain, the illuminated manuscript makes a series of perilous journeys: through Inquisition-era Venice, fin-de-siecle Vienna, and the Nazi sacking of Sarajevo. In 1996, Hanna Heath, an Australian rare-book expert, is offered the job of a lifetime: analysis and conservation of the famed manuscript, which has been rescued once again from Serb shelling during the Bosnian war. Priceless and beautiful, the book is one of the earliest Jewish volumes ever to be illuminated with figurative paintings. When Hanna, a caustic loner with a passion for her work, discovers a series of tiny artifacts in its ancient binding—an insect wing fragment, wine stains, salt crystals, a white hair—she becomes determined to unlock the book’s mysteries. As she seeks the counsel of scientists and specialists, the reader is ushered into an exquisitely detailed and atmospheric past, tracing the book’s journey from its creation to its salvation. In Bosnia during World War II, a Muslim risks his life to protect it from the Nazis. In the hedonistic salons of Vienna in 1894, the book becomes a pawn in an emerging contest between the city’s cultured cosmopolitanism and its rising anti-Semitism. In Venice in 1609, a Catholic priest saves it from Inquisition book burnings. In Tarragona in 1492, the scribe who wrote the text has his family destroyed amid the agonies of enforced exile. And in Seville in 1480, the reason for the Haggadah’s extraordinary illuminations is finally disclosed. In Year of Wonders and March, Geraldine Brooks demonstrated an uncanny ability to hear and transmit the voices of a seventeenth century Derbyshire maid and an nineteenth century American abolitionist. People of the Book is filled with unforgettable voices from the past, but it is Hanna’s voice—edgy, contemporary—that makes People of the Book a compulsively readable adventure story that transcends the usual boundaries of historical fiction.”

In case you wondered-I love historical fiction.

Also this weekend I need to get everything off my DVR so that I can DVR the Inauguration! I'm so excited!!! I wish we had the day off-why don't we have the day off? It seems like of ALL the federal holidays-this should really be one. I've heard of companies just giving their people the day off. No one is giving anyone the day off here at NPP-people need power to watch the inauguration! So I will be DVRing it-which means I need to clean off my dvr!

Speaking of TV this weekend-FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS premieres tonite!! I'm so excited, I love this show-I missed this show! I find myself speaking in a Texas accent after watching this show for like three days. And The Soup is on tonite! Ryan Seacrest is about to get served! *rubs hands together evilly*

Well I think that's all my randomness for now!
Hopefully I will have a more unified topic for this afternoon for you!
Have a great day!

PS to all my friends who decided to go on vacation to WARM places this week and last-WHY DIDN'T YOU TAKE ME WITH YOU!!! You'd better bring me back something shiny or I'll send my snow juju your way... :-) Have fun! Travel safe!
