one wound-up punch of intuition

I was PARKING LOT WATCH yesterday; it's like neighborhood watch only more badass. Aka: I was really bored at my desk, which has a giant window overlooking the parking lot, and I heard a tremendous crunch and looked down just in time to see two cars -- one parked and one trying to park -- rocking back and forth after one hit the other. ( This is where it pays off to compulsively watch the parking lot all day long. )

That was the day's excitement. It doesn't quite beat the time that a federal agency orchestrated a drug bust in the parking lot and the agent who'd been disguised as a pizza delivery boy pulled a shotgun out of his trunk, but it was entertaining nonetheless!

I have been watching TV that is not Glee! Spoiler-free thoughts so far ( on Southland, How I Met Your Mother, American Idol, Bones, White Collar, Community. )

I'm experimenting with a Pandora radio station based on the prompt "Glee cast." It is uproarious. I spent half my afternoon yesterday laughing every time a new song by an eighties hair band or from a Disney movie came on. ( Track list. )

The rest of this post is going to be about Glee, since it's pretty much my only fandom at this point and now that they're filming again and the show is due back in a little over two weeks, there are spoilers exploding out of every possible place. AHHHHHH SPOILERS. ( I swear to God people who work on this show are spending more time leaking spoilers than doing their actual jobs. )

I figured out why I've been getting weird, late waves of comments on the last Glee fic I wrote: someone linked it at TVTropes. ksdfjjsdjgdkfh what is this.

So far today I have:
-Made a pretty card for a coworker
-Written congratulatory notes and drawn squiggles all over the conference room white board
-Spent 45 minutes going through old photographs with a fellow 20-something intern (he is my very favorite intern) and giggling hysterically at the hairstyles that some of our coworkers had in the 1980s
-Also spent those 45 minutes eating doughnuts and congratulating coworker on her 25-year work anniversary
-Had my annual employee review, in which bosslady & her boss told me how awesome I am and how much they love me and how bereft the office will be without me
-Gotten paid for all of this

Sometimes, work is like middle school, except awesome.

A new promo for tonight's episode of Glee leaked! It is completely ridiculous but I kind of love it anyway. Check it ( under the cut )

I am mad excited for Glee tonight, guys, you don't even know. I am going to spend so much time shouting at my television screen; IT'LL BE GREAT. (Note: this is not sarcasm, seriously!) I discovered this weekend that two of my college friends -- the two who I would have least expected it from -- are huge Glee fans; way more so than me. So we irritated the hell out of everyone else by loudly bitching about season 2 and belting along (very badly) with Glee-ified Journey in the car. For the millionth time since the show started, I regretted that it began airing after I left college. It is exactly the kind of show that 15 people would have piled on to my apartment's couch to laugh and cheer and groan and throw popcorn at. Instead, I have my mom. Who I love, but who does not understand when I get excited over things (rare, but it does happen; see: the Brittana moment in "Duets"). It's not the same.

And finally, love this gallery of disaster movie money shots from io9. I have a bizarre love for Roland Emmerich's awful disaster porn films (seriously, Independence Day is my "watch while sick" movie) and so this entire list delighted me to no end.

(I have seen, like ... every single one of these movies.)
