update post of updatiness

[auntiemeesh]

Wow, I'm glad September is a thing of the past. Other than Dragon*Con, it was mostly just a very crappy month. But now, October is here, it is fall, and things are starting to look up again.

I've fallen out of the habit of paying attention to new tv shows in the fall, but I watched the first two eps of Hawaii Five-O over the weekend and I liked it. Third time's the charm, I guess, when it comes to Alex O'Loughlin. I tried really hard to like Moonlight, but I just couldn't buy his portrayal of the vampire. I gave Three Rivers one shot, and didn't even last a full episode because of him. But he felt a lot less bland and generic-pretty-boy in Hawaii Five-O so there's hope.

We're about a third of the way through Merlin season three, now, and I'm fighting boredom tooth and claw. It feels like every episode is a slightly reworked rehash of a previous episode. Plus, I'm not all that keen on the sullenly lurking Evil!Morgana storyline. I keep watching though, in the hope that it re-engages my interest soon.

In non-tv related news, eve11's halloween party is coming up in a couple weeks and I'm still trying to figure out how to do the costume I have in mind. I think there's going to be a thrift store shopping spree this weekend, however, so hopefully that will provide some answers.

And there's still OKCupid, to provide me with entertainment when all else fails. Started emailing with a new guy on Sunday. He seems a little bit more needy than I'm entirely comfortable with, and he's fifteen years older than me, but his profile looked interesting, so I'll continue to email him and see what happens. I also got a text from the guy that I went out with back in August. He'd gone away on a month long trip and just got back recently. I had, honestly, pretty much forgotten about him, but he wants to hang out sometime soon. So I may have a few not!dates coming up.

Oh, and I got my hair cut. Really, really cut. I wanted it to look like this:

and it pretty much does, actually, although my color isn't as deep as hers. I'll post a pic once I have one.

With that pixie cut, you could get some wings and voila! Instant costume! LoL

Good luck with the not!dates.
=D

Hey, I even have the wings already, stuffed away in my closet. :)

I watched the first ep of Hawaii 5-0, kind of enjoyed it, and promptly forgot all about it. Maybe I should catch up!

Wow, that is a really drastic cut. Bet it suits you beautifully.

Have fun on the not!dates!

I think it's a good look for me. Except for the occasional (rare) moments when I think wtf did I just do?!? I like it, though.

Have fun getting the costume together and watching whatever TV shows seem worth the time. I can't wait to see a photo of the haircut!

If I haven't got a pic up before then, by Halloween I'll have some photos to post.

Oh yes, please post a photo of the new hair cut. Have fun with tv and not!dates. BTW this is an interesting term. Did you coin it?

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

I did, indeed, coin the not!dates term this morning. :)

The not!dates sound like a good distraction. Is that a picture of Carey Mulligan? I loved her in An Education - so you'd think I'd know if it was her, but I guess I've lost my ability to recognize faces along with remembering names.

[auntiemeesh.livejournal.com]

That is indeed Carey Mulligan. I'd never heard of her before but saw a picture of her in some hairstyle magazine at the salon on Saturday. It was pretty much exactly what I wanted.

Wow. That's serendipity in action.
