Paper Whiskers

tv squee on a Wednesday

I'm working on a longer, overview post of all the shows I'm catching up on now that the regular tv season has started, but I had to throw up a quick reaction post to the premiere of Hawaii Five-O.

OMG!!!! 

They ended last season with one of the lead co-stars in jail (with various other things going on), and all summer I've been wondering how they would resolve it. And resolve it they did; quite well actually even with all the plotholes (I don't watch for the plot - LOL). There was tons of great stuff in the episode, most notably the interaction between the two leads (Alex O'Loughlin and Scott Caan) was better than ever. They play off each other so well, it's fun to watch.

But. The thing that has me still impressed and flabbergasted was the very last shot of the episode. It's the kind of thing that would work extremely well as a season ender, so seeing it at the end of the season premiere was very surprising. I was sitting next to my Dad, so couldn't swear quite as loudly or effectively as I wanted, but I did on the drive home. I literally did not see that twist coming. It was awesome. I cannot wait to see how it plays out.

currents on a Wednesday morning

(photo taken this past weekend - Eric was helping Will go down the slide)

listening: Owl City's Bright and Beautiful album; it's perfect for listening to at work; very peaceful

eating: late breakfast of TLC blackberry cereal bars

drinking: water

wearing: argyle sweater shirt, grey pants, black Born shoes

feeling: tired

weather: It's starting to get cooler again. Summer is officially over, I guess. They are even predicting first frost tonight.

wanting: hot cocoa - it's time to lay in a stash of cocoa and tea packets for my office drawer

needing:  shoes to wear with tan slacks - I don't know what the fashion rules say, but I'm fairly sure I shouldn't wear black shoes with them. Need to do some research and find a pair. I need to go clothes shopping in general. Need a few more fall/winter pieces; and even more urgently, a dress for an October wedding I'm attending.

thinking: I really hate clothes shopping; I'm not looking forward to dress shopping.

enjoying: a quiet office

watching: season 3 of Castle

anticipating: all the new premieres during the next few weeks; most especially Hawaii Five-O, as they ended on a major cliffhanger last season

birthday cake on a Wednesday afternoon

Okay, it's been a week, so I need to post something.

How about the cake decorations I made to replace the ugly ribbon that came on my birthday cake last week? (ugly, because I didn't get off work in time to pick it out myself at the bakery. darnit.)

I used paper punches in different sizes and some paper scraps from my My Minds Eye stash (my current company). Unfortunately, these pictures are "take two" because I didn't notice the memory card wasn't in my camera until after we started cutting into the cake. oops.

They turned out cute, but I have to admit to being annoyed that I was decorating my own birthday cake. At least I didn't have to make it. :)
