Instructions to Life, plzkthnx

Did you know there are actual instructions on how to care for a nonstick pan? Like, you should... season it. I thought that was just cast iron skillets.

And also, water heaters have plastic bits that can break and then you have super hot water pouring out the top and soaking through the floor so that it starts raining in the downstairs. Then you get a new water heater. The carpet still stays soggy for a day or so though. Ugh.

Oh, and washing clothes is hard because every stupid garment has different instructions.

Blech. And sometimes you have to use bleach like on that white towel that got wet and left on the carpet and somehow turned green. Except bleach+asthma sucks. So that was fun too.

*sigh* Can't wait to have a working car again. SERIOUSLY. On the other hand, with no option for easy escape I'm forcing myself to do a lot more laundry and cleaning. Give me another day or two and I might even do proper meal planning... or real true cleaning. ... okay, yeah that's probably wishful thinking lol

Back to moving things into less obtrusive piles and putting things away in the kitchen where Brynden will never find them!

Luckily the wreck and totalling of the car went pretty easily as far as insurance goes- they gave a good price on Carlotta... now to find something else my picky self will consent to driving in public. >.>

Also, watching Rapunzel on Netflix. It's far less awful than I thought. I'm actually entertained.

Ohh and current new fixations: Mad Men.

I know as a Housewife I should be watching telenovelas or something but really... Netflix. Much more convenient.


OMG AND DEADWOOD. Finally watching it and we're on Season 2 and I LOVE THIS SHOW. That is all.

OMG THE LANGUAGE. I'm loving it! It's totally dorky of me but I love the styling they gave the dialogue (including the cursing). They did a similar thing on Rome but Deadwood's stands out more to me. All the constant cocksucker-ing cracks me up.

I really want to get the dvd's for my dad for Bday/Xmas/whatevergift, but I am not sure what he'd make of it. >.> Is it awkward for a grown-up kid to get their parents a series full of gratuitous nudity and violence? What would Miss Manners think of such a thing...

Just popping in via my regular "Deadwood" search...if giving a parent a dvd set of the best television show ever made is wrong, I wouldn't want to be right :-)

If my son wants to get on my good side, he offers to come over and watch Deadwood with me, and willingly puts up with my analyzing and OMG-ing. And endless Al-quoting.

Popping out again--sorry for the intrusion. Deadwood fever strikes again...

I own all three seasons of Deadwood on DVD.

It's totally worth it. And I'd hit the old man with S1E1 first, see if he digs it.

If he does, go ahead and drop the season boxes on him.
