I was a Pushing Daisies fan. I used to wait all week for Wednesday night to come around again, and feel a rush of excitement every Wednesday, and put off anything I had to do that night so I could devote my full attention to ABC. And then the cancellation rumors came. Friends would laugh, and say "I heard Pushing Daisies is getting cancelled" and I would throw heavy books at them, deny the rumors, and then follow them around meticulously explaining to them just how amazing the entire storyline is.

I kid, I kid. I was never that obsessed, but it was my favorite show, and the only tv I would make time to watch all week. I am actually quite upset at it's cancellation. Should I make a vow never to watch ABC again? Perhaps there will be a movie. Should I try to watch Grey's Anatomy as a substitute? Maybe I'll just read a book instead.

It  isn't a new spot either. I noticed it last night during dinner, but I didn't think much of it. Problem is, I think it's spreading. The tip of my nail is already hot pink, and I've got another spot on my thumb. It also isn't really washing off.

There seems to be a lot I don't know about this whole spot situation, including why it's there. I'm worried. I think it's even spread since the time I started staring at it.

Do I have a new disease? Should I try coloring it over with a different colored pen? Oh, my poor epidermis.

So maybe it's the food coma speaking, but I feel really happy and loving right now, like I just want to give everyone a big hug. Even though I'm pretty sure most Mongols wouldn't quite approve of that sort of behavior. (But I'm no expert; most of my knowledge is based off of an episode of Black Adder)

Anyways, I hope you guys had a wonderful holiday, and even if it was terribly boring and disappointing, I hope you were at least able to sneak away and watch funny youtube videos.

Unfortunately, google won't translate my holiday wishes into anything mongol-related, so, in Latvian: Priecīgus Ziemassvētkus!

I bet they got a discount on fire that week or something.

I like space. When I was little I never thought about it much, but now I like looking up and feeling like there's something beyond Earth.

It's basically been created for me, and I'm going to try to submit to it.

These are the neurons from the brain of a mouse. They've been colored according to category, in these wonderful hues. 

Just to make sure Entropic's not colorblind.

I just got the Killers' new album, Day & Age, and it's amazing. Maybe I'm biased, beccause I even think Brandon Flowers' feather coat is pretty, but the Killers were the first band I ever liked and I've loved them ever since.

Dear Aurelius,

I think I am beginning to fall in love with you. Watching you laugh with friends, watching you sleep, you have captured my heart, it is yours, Aurelius. I know that you feel the same way, I trust in your love, and though we have our differences, I tell you now, I am willing to look past that. Oh, Aurelius, duke though you are, to me you are a prince. If you only knew how nervous I was when you visited last month. The sight of you at the table made me spill the soup all over the Countess, and I got a terrible scolding, but to see you again, to peek at you from the kitchen; it was worth it. After dinner, dearest, I must confess, while you were riding I traded places with a friend and therefore it was my hands which cleaned your sheets, and touched your freshly washed shirts. Reading your letters to your father and sister during supper was like looking into your soul, love, and I adore you all the more. Oh, Aurelius, when I stayed in your room that night, hidden behind a tapestry, I was so worried when you didn't come in until late, but then you entered the chamber, and I could smell your cloak after you'd tossed it to the floor, and I was content to simply watch you until dawn. My love, I am like a dimmed lantern without you, and I await your return eagerly. The thought of you makes me glow, and when you return, I know we will be together forever.

With all my love, 

Prudence, scullery maid to the Countess D - - - - - - - - in Montmarte Castle

Watching this baby horse run around completely changed my day; I was really happy, and a little mesmerized. I don't know if links are working for the blogs, but type the above title into youtube and it should come up.

I'm pretty sure when I wrote "pony" on my Christmas list as a kid, this is what I meant.

Whenever, wherever, I could just break out in song. Preferably dubbed over by someone who could actually sing, but the sentiment would still be the same.

This one is called 'Western Spaghetti' and it reminds me of a Bertucci's commercial. Watch it on youtube at PESfilms or go to eatpes.com
