State of me or not...as the case may be

Cranky, I blame it on the weather, nice to have something to blame it on, isn't it? The air felt weighted down today, like the sky desperately wanted to pee but couldn't quite figure out how.
Sorry. You ever get woken up from a dream by the urgent need to pee? It's so big a need that it makes its way into the dream and you keep hunting for a bathroom? That was me at 5:30 am this morning. I thought - come on...I have 30 more minutes! I want those 30 more minutes!!

Anyhow muggy, threatening a tornado. I don't worry about Tornadoes in New York City. I hail from Kansas, part of Tornado alley. Tornadoes don't last long on the ground in places like NYC, being surrounded by water and uneven ground and major hills - tornadoes like flat spaces with little water. Or so I've discovered. Although the weather has been admittedly wonky of late.

I hope you don't mind the conversational style - not that I plan on changing it. See? I write very formally all day long, in a formal business/legal style of writing that is highly polite and precise. Here, I can take my hair down and hang. Be my liberal, culturally geeky self - which trust me, most people do not see or just catch glimmers of. Been told that I'm incredibly polite in person. You know better, don't you? Snark by the way isn't mean - it's just impolite. Well, it can be mean, but it's mostly just impolite, depending on the audience of course. On the net...I think it just goes over people's heads half the time. Sarcasm certainly does. Had a sarcasm icon, but kept forgetting to use it. This happens a lot. I keep forgetting I have icons. Couldn't find one appropriate for this post, so just picked one that I never use.

Am bored with cultural choices at the moment. Have several reruns of Doctor Who/River Song episodes from last year that I can watch. The reason I'm avoiding the Doctor Who fandom is I'm
a hopeless Doctor River Song shipper, and I also, gasp, ship Doctor Song with Doctor Who. I know, I know - I always ship the strong quippy/snarky female/strong snarky/quippy male pairings. I like banter, what can I say? It's the only ship outside of Rory/Amy and Owen/Tosh that I've ever had for the Doctor Who universe. The ship everyone seems to be ga-ga over never worked for me. (Oh, Rob Lowe is in Invention of Lying with Tina Fey and Ricky Gervais? Whoa...Phillip Seymore Hoffman too??And this isn't snark it's humor by insult - which I consider mean comedy. Snark requires a bit of artistry. Humor by insult...requires a tongue and the ability to say three words. Actually, I think it's suppose to be satire - which sometimes works for me and sometimes doesn't.)

Trying to read The Girl Who Played with Fire. But it's slow. ( vague spoilers about the books )

[You know Ricky Gervais is easier to watch when he isn't pretending to be my ex-evil boss, which is the character he played in The Office. It was uncanny, he even had the mannerisms down. You'd think he actual met ex-evil boss. In case you think I'm nuts, CW who also had to deal with ex-evil boss, said she had the same reaction to the UK The Office - she couldn't watch it either, because he had the same speech pattern and mannerisms as evil boss. But not here. Although the movie isn't very good, sort of dumb and just lies there. Shame since it is a good idea on paper at least - a guy in a society where no one knows how to lie and says whatever is on their minds, discovers the art of lying and becomes quite successful.]

I need something light, romantic, adventurous with good snarky dialogue and no, not fanfic. I keep trying Elizabeth Peters Vicky Bliss mysteries but they aren't quite cutting it. Any suggestions? I was flirting with some romance novel I read about on the net - except it was a historical and I want contemporary or sci-fi right now and not too heavy on the "ROMANCE". Half tempted to go re-watch Farscape, or maybe the first season of Veronica Mars.

Any votes on which series I should rent this summer on netflix? ( Deadwood, Fringe or The Wire )
