Stuff Around the House

So much stuff still to do but it's the weekend and after a long work week it's hard to motivate myself to do anything. But of course I did do somethings. Here was my Saturday.

Had a skype call with my buddies from Treks in Sci Fi for their next podcast
Pulled out stuff (DVD's and accessories) from the garage and attempted to try and figure out what I was going to do next with it. I need to clean it up and try and make room for the contractor to start building my toy room. Harry and I also walked around the property and discussed all the yard work that needed done.. As for the garage I gave up, too overwhelmed.
Went and had lunch at Denny's
Went to Target and picked up some dog stuff along with a few accessories for the house.
Went to Bed Bath and Beyond and got a few more accessories for the house as well as some Xmas presents for Harry.
Went to Pet Smart to pick up a new dog lease for Daisy and also got a new playmate for her.
And finally went to Home Depot to pick up paint for our master bathroom which I am suppose to paint tomorrow.

Once I was home it was dark and I was exhausted from running around so I chilled. I tried several times to motivate myself to get up and do something but all I managed was pulling the DVD's out of boxes and setting them by the DVD racks. So I didn't do everything I wanted too.. but I did do some things. I know we have a life time of living here so we are in no rush but I would love to have a day when there is nothing to do on this house.. I'm sure the day will come but it seems so far away.

More Sceeners

Today I got more screeners.. that's one huge perk of being part of the PGA (Producer's Guild of America). So far I have gotten The Stoning of Soraya M., 500 Days of Summer, An Education, The Informant, Julie and Julia, Where the Wild Things Are, and today I got Up. I've also gotten a ton of invites to screenings but those are so much harder to attend because of scheduling. So screeners come on handy. Hopefully I'll get a for more before the end of the year.

Geek Heaven

Today I got half of my order of Blu Rays that I ordered from Amazon. I got Clone Wars Season 1 and of course The Clone Wars movie along with the new Star Trek. All in blu ray which will be cool since we don't have any blu ray discs other then Serenity (which I bought with the player to have at least one). Should be getting Harry Potter HBP and the Ultimate Year 1 and 2 Blu Rays in a few weeks.

V Episode Three

Just finished the 3rd episode and man is it getting good.

So many things.. first I love that the V traitors call themselves the 5th columnist like the original. Even though it wasn't a shocker it was revealed that Lisa is planning something for Tyler. And finding out that Lisa is actually Anna's daughter, didn't have a clue about that. I knew the gunman was going to be a V. I had no idea that the V doc was an 5th columnist.. that was a good OMG moment. I loved the scene with the four founding members of the Resistance meeting up in the church. I liked the people at the beginning giving confessions.. felt very real. I like that they revealed that over 600+ people died when the V's came. I also noticed that all the Captains of the 29 ships were male.. kind of like Anna being the Queen bee. So many things were revealed which made it such a fun episode and it just flew by. Can't wait for the fourth and finale episode this year..

Doctor Who: Waters of Mars

Just finished watching Doctor Who's Waters of Mars and in short it was kind of creepy, then tense, then sad and finally the OMG moments.

I think the doctor went way to far, the all powerful timelord that no one can stop. It was hard to see him get that way as that's so not how I see the doctor.. I wasn't liking him during his final speech.

I knew something was going to happen to the Captain.. it was all to easy. But I didn't expect her to kill herself, but like The Doctor said.. her death was a fixed point in time.. she would die that day and she did.

Hopefully her death will knock the Doctor back down to Earth. But I guess will see what happens in the next two parter Christmas/New Years specials. And then goodbye David Tennant and hello Matt Smith.

The Deck

Got up today all gung ho to get a ton of stuff done... well things didn't go quite as planned. In the morning I did a lot of podcast stuff. When Harry got up I went out back to clean up the deck area as it was really windy and we had debris all over the place. Halfway through that task Harry came out and helped out. We also ripped off all the blue liner that was covering the deck. We were happy to see that our deck isn't that bad.. a good sanding and staining and it should look awesome. We also did a few things around the outside of the house.

We watched a bit of TV and then decided to head into town and go grocery shopping and then pick up some lunch/dinner. Two hours later we were heading back home. We ate lunch/dinner and then watch a bit more TV. It was so difficult to motivate myself but I manage to get up and take some trash to the dumpster and then attempted to work on the garage which was what I wanted to do this weekend. Well that lasted 20 minutes as I realized I can't start this project so late in the day and that it's going to take an entire weekend to do. So I headed inside and just chilled out the rest of the night.

I really hate that it gets dark so early.. by 5:30pm it feels so late and my body checks out as soon as the sun goes down.

So we got a little bit of work done but far from what I had planned... hmmm maybe next weekend.
