These words are my diary screaming out loud, and I know that you'll use them however you want to

I watched Charlie Brown's Christmas tonight while it was showing on tv, and now I'm feeling a bit festive.  I watched Garfield's Christmas last week, and I love it so much.  Ah, good times.  ABC is showing a Shrek Christmas special tomorrow night and it looks pretty good, so I think I'll watch.  Look at me with all the cartoons!

Watching Charlie Brown's Christmas reminded me of the parody that Scrubs did, so I decided to pull it out and enjoy it.  I could watch this all day long, it cracks me up.

mood: cheerful

music: Celine Dion, "My Heart Will Go On"

I'm just going to say it--I love Avril Lavigne's "When You're Gone."   The piano intro is haunting, the vocals are good, the lyrics are deep, and the music video is moving.  Or maybe it's the stress and exhaustion in me talking.  Could be a little of both, I suppose, but I am loving this song right now.  And the old man in the video just about kills me.

Speaking of emotion, last season's finale and this season's premiere of Ugly Betty were astounding!  Even if you're not a fan of the show, you really should watch those two episodes.  Who knows, you may just love the show by the time you're finished.  I was blown away by the end.

I really wish I had more free time.  I know that I had months and months of free time and hated it, but with the two classes I'm taking right now, I really don't have much time.  It's not that I have big plans, but I'd like to be able to kick back and relax a little bit.  I miss being able to read for fun.  I'd like to read the new book one of my history professors wrote, and I've been meaning to read one of the books an English professor of mine wrote, but I'm not sure when I'll get the chance.  I have them both out of the library right now, but I may have to end up buying them so I can read them later.

I really should get back to my lesson plans.  I love that searching for videos on Google constitutes getting ready for tomorrow.
mood: anxious

I wish I had more time to catch up on my tv shows.  Still, I think I'm doing pretty well for myself.  I'm past the half-way point of season 4 of Nip/Tuck.  I need to get it all watched before season 5 starts in a couple weeks, and I should have it finished today.  I love this show!  So addicting.  I still haven't watched any of Grey's Anatomy this season.  I missed last week's episode because I went to see "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" (it was great!) and I missed this week because I hadn't yet seen last week's show.  I'll get caught up this weekend.  well, hopefully.  I've got a ton of work to do.  I've got a bunch of reading to do for the online course I'm taking, a quiz to take, an in-depth discussion posting to write, and a literacy log to do.  All this needs to be completed by tomorrow night.  Yikes!  Then after that, I've got 200 essays to read, correct, and grade.  Oh, and lesson plans to create.  It's gonna be a busy weekend!  I'm hoping I'll be able to watch some football, and Grey's Anatomy, and maybe a movie.  That may be asking too much, though.  I had wanted to go to happy hour tonight, but knew that I probably shouldn't.  Not with everything I need to get done.  Hopefully I won't be too busy, and I can go next week.  We shall see.
