Make Me Smile...

* Lemongrass tea in my favorite mug

*Laughing at Arthur with #thesekids

*Opening the blinds and discovering a thin blanket of snow on the ground

*When the carpet has fresh vacuum cleaner tracks

*Booklights that don't break in a week and have a long battery life

*Silence early in the morning

Random Thoughts

*I'm bad at remembering names and birthdays.

*Naps make the world better...everyone should take a 20 min one daily.

*I wish I could use copyright music on my Youtube channel. I have plenty of songs that would be awesome.

*I could watch King of Queens every day.  As a matter of fact, I'm about to watch a few episodes right now. :-)

*I only miss cable on Sundays because Own has all the good shows on. *le sigh*

NOT Feeling Scandal Season 2

*le sigh* I thought it was just because I didn't like the "One for the Dog" episode, but now I realize the show has fallen off to me.

Last season, I remember logging off Twitter on Thursday nights to avoid spoilers, and impatiently waiting for ABC.com to upload the latest episode. I still watch on Fridays but there isn't a sense of urgency anymore.

Why it doesn't feel the same....

 

*Olivia & Fitz? Blah! Fritz is a privileged bully and I'm mad Olivia put herself on the line for him.  I hate that he makes her look weak. I started side-eyeing Fitz when he kidnapped Olivia and took her the woods. The way he harassed her on that elevator was the last straw for me.  I want them to break up. Yeah, I said it!

 

*I miss the agency solving damn cases.  I preferred it much more when the Fitz & Olivia affair was a subplot. I love the cases and how the agency comes together to "fix" everything. Oh, and all the awesome background music while they work is everything. *sigh*

 

*I don't get to look at Columbus Short for more than 30 seconds each episode.  Liv gave Harrision more responsibility but now he just sits at his desk twirling his thumb while she's running around after Fitz.  These writers play too much. I need Columbus on my screen!

*Umm, let's cancel Edison....Liv ain't feeling you, boo. I'm tried of you being all up in her apt acting thirsty. Go away!

I realize Rhimes is giving us some background on how Olivia, Fitz, and the agency got to this point, but I want the old format back. *tears*

I find AfterBuzz TV's Scandal commentary far more entertaining that the actual show. #YeShrug
