Excuses For My Current Mood

-Because I am firmly entrenched in the world of Battlestar Galactica and I may not resurface until I'm done with Season 4.0.
-Because my laptop got a nasty virus and it's in the shop.
-Because I'm not ready for the holidays to be over yet.
-Because January's a freaking depressing month, y'know?
-Because there's something big going on in my life and I can't tell you about it yet. (Don't you hate it when bloggers get all vague? I know I do.)
-Because Pushing Daisies is *still* canceled.
-Because I've already got plans that night. (Plans being a date with Lee Adama and company.)
-Because I can't figure out exactly when Brief Interviews With Hideous Men premieres at Sundance.
-Because I've procrastinated going to the post office for long enough.
-Because I don't believe in resolutions.
-Because I would give anything for a vacation to someplace exotic right now.
-Because none of my new music is holding my interest like it should.
-Because sometimes I don't do a very good job of being hopeful.
-Because I crave more time to read.
-Because I wish I could just skip to the part where I get paid to be a TV reviewer.
-Because the last two pairs of pants I bought were sweatpants.

I read "Plans being a date with Lee Adama and company." and smile knowingly.

Have you heard about "Caprica"?

Gretchen said...

Cassandra--Yeah, I have! I'm not so sure about the premise, but it's an intriguing idea. I hope it doesn't end up being one of those lame spin-offs like AfterMASH and Private Practice.

Ashley said...

I love all of your becauses.

Cassandra said...

You should watch the trailer, it's quite awesome; I'm very psyched for it. :D

Q said...

Excuses, excuses... :)

EP said...

Umm, I'm feeling you on pretty much all of these. Especially because I'm not ready for the holidays to end, either, and the weather here sucks.

Jacob Divett said...

The weather even sucks here in New Mexico. All is lost. And my laptop got a nasty virus too. Weird.

Stephanie Perkins said...

Oh my god, Gretchen, drop the sweatpants!

(Not, I mean, if you're currently wearing said sweatpants. Metaphorically spoken, of course.)

I'm still bummed about Pushing Daisies too. Sucky ABC.

I hope you feel better soon, and the Big Thing is okay.

Elise said...

please let me in on info when you know more about that sundance film.

Edge said...

*weeps* I bought all the PD episodes thus far, and they leave me at that stupid, stupid cliffhanger about Ned's father! I. Hate. ABC. :p

Brandy said...

Yeah, I'm with you on the sweatpants one. Nothing says 'hello January!', like sweatpants and a strong aversion to alcohol. Also, my reasons for disliking Gilmore Girls are too numerous to write in 140 characters or less... can we still be friends?

Marissa said...

I know how you feel...we just got back from Silver City where we were all sick and crabby. I have a hunch about the "big thing" that's going on in your life. Hope to hear more about it soon :)

:) No excuses necessary, Fetchin'. Although we like your posts, obviously, including this one, so whatever. Also, asterisk sympathy asterisk.

I feel like I should have added a couple things to your list yesterday. Poor Will... he gets the brunt of my bad moods. I hope all is well and that we both kick ourselves in the pants and put on a happy face.
