Hey, look at me, I'm blogging crazy!
It's Hump Day and I want to celebrate. Of course we'll start off with my two favorite Humps and some of my favorite music to hump by Hump de Bump by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
The most exciting news of the week is that after the first round, I am tied for first place in Lin's tv.com Mastermind contest! Yay! Round 1 was Movie Trivia. Round 2 is Specialist Round, where each person has their own special subject, all of which I believe ended up being TV shows. My specialist subject is Angel (the Series). The questions were difficult and I had to look up some of the answers! By Friday I will know my fate, to see if I've dropped on the leaderboard or not!
And now for a strange but true update about my work situation
Next time: My Brush with the Criminal Justice System, or How I Nearly Ended up on a Jury....
Caption Contest
I tried to make it hump-related. Of course your captions will be doing all the heavy lifting on that. Feel free to submit more than one caption per photo. I will be awarding Best Captions and Silliest Captions. Be forewarned in the event you might be upset by winning the Suckiest, I mean Silliest category.

Supernatural Fun
I admit I'm a fairly new fan of this show, started watching it nearly at the end of S2 and had to catch up fast. Luckily I was able to watch all of S1 and S2 without getting any spoilers for the S2 season finale, which was quite an amazing episode. Of course, I am now having SN withdrawal, since we've found out the show will not premier S3 until the beginning of October. Talk about evil!
Of course, it's not like it's torture to watch a show with a couple more hot guys running around chasing evil and kicking its a$$. As a plus, several Buffy and Angel cast members have made appearances as guest stars and that was fun. Loved seeing Amber Benson as a vampire! And in one episode a character actually asks "What would Buffy do?" That had me LMAO.
I've made a lot of great new friends from this show, and that's made my time on tv.com even better than just hanging with my Angel and Buffy friends (whom I still love just as much as ever!). Special blame goes to kcohan1, engel_j_ackles, run4nova, MacGyver46 and iluvluke. The SN group is very active and each Wednesday and Sunday we are rewatching an episode, in order, and discussing them, though of course the discussion meanders from the topic rather quickly. There is also a great variety of fun stuff to be found on the web which has kept me ROFLMAO and a surefire cure for me on the days my arm and job stuff have been getting me down. Two of my favorite things to visit are:
Plastic!Winchester Theatre--yes, it may sound silly, but this girl has written about 2 dozen episodes of SN and "filmed" them using a wide variety of Ken dolls and some incredibly creative props. She has great humor and has really gotten the characterizations down very well. I encourage you to take a look. I swear she really ought to get paid or have a career in television as a scriptwriter. Favorite Episode: Episode Two, because of Plastic!Sam's underwear. You really need to see it yourself.
Ten Expressions--This LiveJournal user takes some screencaps from each episode and writes a new story based on them. Laugh-out-loud funny. My favorite is the one from "Tall Tales."
What Else I've Been Watching
Since I've been home so much, I've had time to watch a lot of television. I've worked my way through Season 2 and most of Season 3 of Nip/Tuck. I am in love with this show. Somehow I always manage to be eating when they are doing a totally disgusting surgery. But I'm hooked on the characters and cannot wait to see what is going to happen to them next. They still don't know who the Carver is yet, but I have my suspicions. Don't tell me or I will have to kill you. I love what is going on with Matt and Ava! Yes, I was shocked to hear her secret and I really feel bad for that poor kid! He is majorly messed up, sexually, now.
I've also been watching a lot of Gilmore Girls. Even a little bit of Gilmore Girls is a lot, so I'm surprised that I've been able to watch as much as I have. I finished S2-4 and am about halfway through Season 5. Rory is in her second year at Yale. She certainly makes a lot of bad decisions and I'm finding I don't care as much for her character as I'd like to.

Something Yummy
And no, I did not forget the tux!
I have a delicious recipe for a similar tart and the first time I made it was for a dinner party I had. I spent ages (ok, 10 minutes maybe) arranging the apple slices to look just like this photo. The result: everyone loved the tart but no one believed I had made it myself because it looked "too perfect." I've made it many times since then but I don't do the slices quite so perfectly. Much more rustic, but people still think it tastes like I bought it at a fancy expensive French bakery. Which is fine with me.
Comments
I'll post my captions tomorrow, was heading to bed. Gotta be up for work in 6 hours!!
mmmmm nice massage! 
1. I wanna be the one to get the extra cookie this time!!
2.Wincest just isn't doing it for me anymore, I need some fresh meat!!
so I will just say, wow, late bloomer on a few shows huh? Is this the first time you have seen GG? Just curious Hope the arm gets better soon!
...As for GG, no I watched it off and on when it was on TV, but never regularly enough to really follow all the storylines. This is the first time I'm sitting down and watching all the eps in order.
*humps OhB*
:lol1)Sam: Stop rolling us over or i'll fall off the bed!
2)kid: Let go of me dude. Dean:why go to him when you have me?
3) Dru: I'm the kink queen!
I'm getting the less comp because of arm thing... I actually have to do that too.
SN is sooo good. I liked both sites you put links to, I saved the plastic one to check later.
That apple thing sounds yummy, but I don't get as good as store bought, homemade is always way better or maybe it just me who grew with a very good cook as a mother
.
captions:
1. Dean: "Dude, not so rough!"
2. Dean: "pffft, he never hugs me that way!"
3. Angel: "No, no, no...I said i wanted to tie you up"
Happy Hump Day Em...*humps Em*
i sure hope you do come back with some captions cause they'll be great! wouldn't you know that tv.com was down while i was trying to answer my questions? i had to get a lot more creative... thanks for the hump.
*humps christy*
as for the tart, my friends thought i got it at a fancy french bakery, which is better than just "store bought". my mom was a terrible cook (sorry mom!) but i love to cook and my friends do know they can rely on me for something delicious. i never settle for "average" stuff even i have to buy something to bring or serve them.
*humps batzy* *humps the chili peppers* *humps the captions* *humps the supernatural guys and DB* ok i need a little rest now
Pic 1- Dude what the hell was that!? Are you trying to make me a virgin?
Pic 2- We shouldn't be doing this unless its a three some.
Pic 3- Yeah yeah screw the magic trick!!! Lets finish out homework!
Good luck with the arm, I hope it gets better before you run out of TV to watch.
Baked goods are supposed to taste like there homemade not bought, homemade tastes better.
*humps Lin, France, Kimmy and Bryan*
i don't think i'll run out of stuff to watch
it's just kind of a disappointment because i usually like to do reviews or blogs on stuff but i'm trying not to type or write very much. i've amended my blog because of my tart. people think it tastes like it's from the fancy French bakery. We have a lot of really wonderful bakeries in the area that make expensive and delicious pies/tarts/etc. so that is actually a compliment if someone thinks you bought your tart there.
i won't eat anything from there unless i walk to pick it up...or i'll be wearing it
TCoY!
i feel sorry for people who do not have a fancy french bakery to get their goodies at from time to time. now what's this about greta coming to Cali? tammy are you here too?
Awww, I am (partly) to blame for more fun here at TV.com and with the SN people, thanks so much!!!! So glad you started watching!! Okay, here are the captions: (and big risk being worst here don't mind though, I go with what comes first)1) Sam: NO DEAN! She is worse than that waitress in Tampa, this is an intervention!!!
2) Dean: Whooo, awkward....
3) Angel Okay, Dru, I know you are buckets of crazy but this isn't gonna work with my pants on.
Oh, almost forgot...*humps Em*
It's so much more fun to do it yourself and have people Oh and Ah over what you have made As you know I am a CA Girl too It started on Greta's anniversay blog. She said something about coming to CA and I said we could go and get you too and if she had enough time we could swing up and Get Kimmy too. We would have a Spectastic time
Is feel special if ya hadnt humped everyone else too
I wanna be a hump whore!*Humps Everyone*
Season 5 of GG was great, I thought. I agree about Rory. I liked her a lot more in the earlier seasons. Her storylines in the later years were the least interesting to me.
I honestly suck at captions. Really. Though I really should get into Suernatural. I hated most of the first season, though its last batch of episodes were stellar!
*eats em* and THEN *eats cake*
I remembered this time
*humps tammy and a couple of unicorns--ouch*
and of course you are part of the best part of tv.com.... cannot wait to get to reno!
*humps bryan again cause he is so humpable*
Of course it's been fun seeing Buffy/Angel cast members show up as guest stars, too.
*humps mark then whatever else he wants* SN definitely picks up in S2 and then if you watch S1 again you start to see where a lot of the best stuff of S2 started, because it really is there in S1, too. I think the chemistry between the brothers picks up a lot in S2 for a variety of reasons and that makes the show even better, plus it's fun to see how they've taken urban legends and made them seem real. You might enjoy S3 more because they are going to have a couple of female hunters that are recurring characters (not on every episode, thank goodness!)
You really need to be careful with the Unicorns
*Humps Em and then gives her a plate of Choc. Chip Scones*
...golly
If I start swimming now, I might catch you guys in Reno in September
