The previews for the season premiere of the final season of Friends are playing now.. the show starts in two weeks. I usually start watching the reruns again a few weeks before they start.. tonight, at the end of the show, there was a Super preview, at least a couple of minutes long and consisting of a lot of scenes from the past and it actually made me cry. I know it's sappy and a little pathetic, but there have been some really touching moments. I really do hate that it's the final season, though I understand and even agree that it's for the best.

In other news, I didn't have to work today at all, which made me quite happy. Well, I didn't work any at the store. I had a small amount of site maintenace for a client to do that I finished tonight. I spent most of the day fiddling with a layout. I really finished most of it a few days ago, but I opened it for final changes and got stuck on silly details. I think my problem was knowing that M didn't like it all that well. Well, that's not fair. He just wasn't as enthusiastic as he normally is. :) I posted it to my gallery if you want to see it. It's a little different than the others. Actually, it's not fair to say that. All of my layouts have been different.. I don't seem to have a consistent style yet.

My parents went to an Amish auction yesterday in Ohio and came back with an ungodly amount of produce. We're talking forty boxes of tomatoes and crates of hot peppers. And piles of gourds. Today, they were selling corn 6 for $1 and making a profit on it, if that tells you how cheap this stuff was. I wonder how the day went. I wish I didn't think about produce on my day off. :)

Have I mentioned Glenna? Glenna is a nice person. We went to college and had a bunch of computer classes together. She found my journal a while back and emailed me to let me know she was reading (don't you wish everyone did that?), and we've been talking again. She has restored some of my faith in work today and I doubt she even meant to. Her department is hiring and I thought it was extremely sweet of her that she thought of me and sent the job description and info on with a list of pros and cons of working there. It sounds silly, but it reminded me that there are still a few jobs out there that don't involve slinging fruit around. (I will not remark on politics here. You know what I'm thinking, though.) Of course I knew that, but it's a little demoralizing at times. Lately, I've been feeling rather depressed about the entire concept of work.. completely unable to imagine getting up in the morning and not actively dreading the next ten hours of my life. So anyway, what I was getting at was that even if I don't end up with this job (and the odds aren't in my favor, of course).. hey, even if I don't end up applying for it, I actually feel a little more relaxed about the subject, which is nice. (The job is in Louisville, which isn't an insurmountable problem.. we would have to move, though. However, since that's been part of my problem from the beginning, that's okay.)

And speaking of which.. she asked me about how to create a LJ account a while back, but I don't have any invitation codes. (I really should get a paid account, I know.) So if any of you have one they wouldn't mind sharing with Miss Glenna, I'd be most grateful. I think she's tired of being Anonymous and might like to be a little more vocal with all of these people she reads about.. hehe. :)

M just patted me on the back because I asked, "Is this Nat King Cole?" He thinks the strangest things are praiseworthy, really.

I'm not going to write about either 9/11 or Anna Lindh, but both have been in my thoughts today. :(

Instrumental weirdness = elevator music. :)

I always get teary-eyed during special re-cap, memory type previews too. And it doesn't even matter what show it's for. I guess I'm just a real sucker for that music and the slow motion they occasionally use. hahaha

And that dramatic voiceover! I usually have to have watched the show at least a few times for it to work, but I'm such a sap about this kind of thing.. :)

I don't know about you, but the voyeur in me loves the peeks into other people's lives & minds. As is obvious, I also enjoy pooooooosting...

Have fun & ENJOY!!

reruns

I am watching a lot of re-runs for the first time right now. Until May, I was going to school and working, both full time. I missed a lot of night time TV. One show that I have been catching up on has been Felcity, I know at times it can be cheesy but today it has a whole new meaning. The reruns are in the last season of Felicity. Felicity's boyfriend Ben has a father who is very siick and in the hospital needing a liver transplant. His father is played by John Ritter. I have been thinking about him all day. And reading your thing here about catching up on friends just brought back that emotional connection I get with shows, similar to you, especially on this show today.

I've never seen Felicity. It's funny though, how emotionally attached we can get to television characters.. I'll very sad at the end of this season.
