Hey guys!

So is everyone back to work today now that the holidays are over? :-( I had to work on New Year's Eve and it SUCKED. I even had to put in freakin' overtime! I thought I'd never get out of the office.

The hubby and I stayed in that night and just watched some movies. I was wiped from working all day and ended up falling asleep at 11:20 pm. Darn! Almost made it to midnight! :-)

Let's see....I haven't been online since early New Year's Eve, so what have I been up to? Not much! LOL!

John and I went to see Sherlock Holmes again, and I swear it was better the second time around. Holmes and Watson's love for one another was even more epic!

Watched that new show on BBC America, Demons. It was...okay. I'm going to give it another shot. It didn't quite live up to the hype TV Guide was giving it. Definitely not on par with Being Human, whose second season gets started this month. Woot!

Speaking of TV shows, my buddy [livejournal.com profile] charityflint gave me the first season of Psych on DVD for my birthday, and I had a chance to watch three eps over the weekend. On the whole I like it. Shawn and Gus are quite funny. The only thing that annoys me is when Shawn is looking at something they have to zoom in and make the object glow. It's kinda like the show's creator thinks the audience is too dumb to realize what Shawn's looking at. But what's up with the pineapple stuff? I keep hearing about that, but I didn't see any in the first three episodes. Did that not start until a later season?

I also got to hang out with Charity and go to Dave and Buster's as a late birthday celebration for me. We had a great time having lunch, playing video games and table-top shuffleboard. Then we had dinner with John and relaxed in front of a fire in my family room.

I was supposed to have gotten together with several friends who I haven't seen in quite sometime, but some personal stuff popped up that I had to take care of instead. :-(

It was good to take a break from the computer for several days. I've been disillusioned with things going on in SPN fandom and can't muster up any enthusiasm for the show or the actors, so I've been staying away from LJ. It's good that the Jensen/Jared story I'm working on is an AU or I'd have chucked it.

So yeah...that's what I've been up to. And it's back to work today. Oh, yay. It's quite depressing to know that we don't have a day off until Memorial Day now. [sigh]

How was YOUR New Year's holiday?

Hey peach, sorry to hear your 31st was so sucky! I knew it was gonna be bad when you said your boss had turned up! All in all, sitting on a comfy couch and watching movies isn't all that bad ;-)
I still haven't seen Sherlock Holmes. It comes out here this thursday. I saw a 3D trailer though (when I went to see Avatar, which was awesome) and I cannot WAIT!!!!
You're gonna love Psych, just give it about 10 eps. The pineaple is in ep 5 or 6, you'll see LOL.
What's been up? Not too much, a little wank about some Jared holiday pics with his grandparents (which have incidentally passed away years ago, so the manip-quotient is HIGH and confidence is LOW, so don't even bother going there). Don't give up on the show though bb! I'm sure 2010 is gonna be an awesome year for the story arc! I was thinking lately that maybe Kripke REALLY believed he would never get a 5th season and now he has a lot of filler eps (which I love, but you might not, they DO divert from the story arc) to fill the season, but the final showdown is gonna be epic. I'm sure of it!

My new years eve ended at 6.30 AM on January 1st and I've only just recovered. I should have chosen your style of new years eve, I realise that now LOL

Weeeeeell ANYWAYS (LOL, rattling on here) I wish you a perfect, happy and healthy 2010 and ease back into LJ slowly, you'll find your mojo, I'm sure!!

What's your job, Barb?

I didn't really go for "Demons" much - rather disappointed in fact, considering the fabulous Philip Glennister was in it.

You might like the BBC TV series "Apparitions" starring Martin Shaw if you can find it.

Heeeeee Psych! Yeah the glowly thing happens forever and it's kinda annoying but after awhile you don't really notice it anymore y'know? And the pineapple happens in most episodes in the first season (I can't remember when it starts) but after that it's in nearly every episode. Sometimes it's easy to see, other times, not so much.

I don't think theres a real reason behind it other then it's just random pineapple time!

okay so the pineapple James Roday (shawn) improved and i guess they loved it so there is a pineapple in every ep or at least i think there is one but it is a reacurring thing
cause shawn LOVES pineapple
and they zoom in to show us Shawn thinking it through or noticing things cause he is really good at that stuff i mean that is how i look at it
but trust me me keep at it
i mean if you want of course :)

Hi Barb,
sorry I had to react on the Martin Shaw issue first ... ;o)
Really hope your first day at work in 2010 will be much better
than the last in 2009!
I finally had the chance to watch your 2007 Chicago Con vids and I was stunned,the guys were so funny and everything,I really had a blast. Thanks again so much for up-loading them for us.
Just hope you'll find your way back to the SPN fandom and our boys.Don't give up on them I'm sure the rest of the season will be epic.
Oh and our New Years Eve kinda sucked because the Greek food we had tasted awful (what never happened before) but the rest was fine and we spent more than 1 hour outside on the street with our neighbours and friends and a glass (or maybe some more) of sparkling wine and enjoyed the fireworks.

Had an uneventful NYE myself. I much prefer staying home - there are too many crazies on the road that night. A friend here called it "amateur drinkers night."

Sorry to hear the fandom is getting you down. I am soooo out of the loop with that stuff. I just read my fics, and the only time I know something is going on with fandom is when you or adelheide mentions something. Even now, I don't know what it's about, and I'm thinking I don't want to know. :/

Anyway, Happy New Year, and I hope things even out for you at work. Once more into the breach!

Happy Start of a New Year

Hi: I have been wanting to come over and say for a while now. I am one of those crazy people :P who approached you at the vancouver convention to tell you that I enjoyed reading your stories and you livejournal page. At the time I did not set up a livejournal account.

I finally have set up one, but I barely use it. Confusion on how to prevents me... and the fact that no one even goes to it.. though that may be because I dont post anything :-P.

Anyways, I wanted to say thank you for being so nice at the convention. Wanted to wish you a happy new year.

You mentioned that you are a bit down because of whats going on with Jared and Jensen. I am sorry to hear that its bleeding into ur muse a bit. I personally enjoy ur muse a lot and hope it can continue to be expired :). By the way, what is going on with Jared and Jensen that is bringing you down?

I was wondering when Being Human was starting back up! I am going to see what Demons is about.

Hee! The pineapple is just goofy fun. They have a game in later season where you are supposed to spot the pineapple in each episode.

and why you had to work in new year eve? that´s was awful!

how was mine? boring. I made the dinner, but there wasn´t something to cheer up, a little tries to sing, the people who was there can sing but they didn´t know any song, and just was singing short parts of them. I hate so much the new years eve because they are boring I want to see fireworks and there are not fireworks where I always stay. just I go to the beach then , yes, there are fireworks but not this time , I didn´went to the beach so it was terrible boring
