Deep thoughts.

My love for Lena Olin knows no bounds. I just watched "Polish Wedding" with her and Claire Danes and Gabriel Byrne and... yeah. Do not mess with SpyMommy. Ever.

How is it that I get nine hours of sleep and I'm exhausted? How? I mean, seriously tired.

I got a phone call today from one of my sister's friend's mothers. She offered me a part-time job answering phones at wherever she works. However, she wants me to work on Friday and Monday- and I totally can't, because I'm going to Virginia. I offered this weekend to Heather, but Marie said she wanted to make sure I had the opportunity the rest of the summer. Apparently something about me screams "PHONE-ANSWERER."

Yesterday when I drove, I made a three-point turn, waited for my turn at a four-way stop, and parked in my driveway perfectly.

Today Ma and I started laying out outfits for me to bring to Virginia. I am going to have to have about ten suitcases at this rate. I have, like, four polos, two white pairs of pants, a pair of black slacks, two dress shirts, and two dresses. Mind you, I haven't yet even started with pajamas, underthings, jeans or shirts to wear. Or what I'm wearing on the plane (I changed my mind, Nica.) I'm kinda doomed.

Today Mel and I were discussing the best seasons of Alias. She says Season Four was best overall. I think the best seasons were, in this order:

Season 2
Season 4
Season 1
Season 3

Because:
(and this is soooo going to be incomplete)

Season 2 had:

Ooh, I totally watched part of Polish Wedding. And while the movie itself kinda bewildered me (this may be because I only saw the last forty-five minutes or so) . . . it was Lena. And I don't think anyone's love for her knows any bounds. Oh, SpyMommy.

Those lists were fun. :D I think seasons 2 and 1 are still my favourite, but . . . well, I agree with it not having a bad season.It has bad moments, but overall I still think it rocks the heck on quite consistently. And hee! at SyVa (but crazy.), because that just amuses me massively for some reason.

"I think we should take it slow."
"Absolutely. You're totally right."
"Because... you just killed your wife."
"And burnt down my house."
"Yeah."
"So... takin' it slow."
"Uh huh."
"We can still see each other, right?"
"Yeah, fully clothed."
"Okay, that's cool."
"... Want to come in?"
"Sure."
"Just for coffee."
"Okay."
"... Or maybe some wine."
"Wine?"
"Yeah. Wine. Vino. Is that okay?"
"Sure. I mean, that's fine. We're taking it slow. We can talk and stuff."
"No 'and stuff.'"
"Right. Taking it slow."
"Mmhmm."
"Taking it slow."
"Yep. Slowwww."
"Sloooooow."
"You're looking down my shirt."
"I am not."
"You are too."
"Dude. ... Well, I am now!"
"We're taking things slow!"
"Then button up your shirt, for god's sake!"
"Take off your leather jacket then!"
"God!"
"Jesus!"
"This is nice wine."
"Mmhmm."
"It's warm in here. Is it warm in here?"
"A bit."
"... Okay. We're taking things slow."
"Yep."
"Can we make out on your couch, please?"
"WE ARE TAKING THINGS SLOW."
"Jesus CHRIST, do I have to carry your books to class?"
"Dude-"
"... Pass you NOTES in study hall?"
" - don't even go there..."
" DO I HAVE TO TAKE YOU TO THE MOVIES AND PAY FOR YOUR TICKET?"
"IT WOULD BE NICE!"
"Pretend we did. And now we're at your house, and your parents aren't home. CAN WE MAKE OUT NOW?"
"ARE YOU FIFTEEN?"
"NO."
"This is NOT SLOW."
"My hands will not venture past any barriers you give me."
" ... You promise?"
"I promise."
"Okay."

"Dude, I didn't DO ANYTHING."
"Will you relax?"
"You're pulling away!"
"I'm LEADING YOU to my BED."
"I am so not fooling around with you on your bed."
"So we won't fool around."
"What happened to taking it slow?"
"We did."
"God, are you easy."
"What?"
"Not complaining."

Okay, that right there is all kinds of beautiful. There are not words.

And now I feel like I need a happy SyVa icon.

SyVa is entirely too iconable.
