Day In The Life

Mhm. One of those days where everything is a little bit harder to sit through. I've been having trouble sleeping - which is, in my life, completely unheard of - because hypnic jerks are a bitch and I have no idea why I'm having them now, or why I'm having enough of them to keep me awake 'til 0300. Of course, I still ended up sleeping for nine hours, but it's the interruption that matters.

Not to suggest today hasn't been a nice day, because it has been :]. I spend almost all of it with my sister. We watched the first six episodes of season one ('Extreme Aggressor,' 'Compulsion,' 'Won't Get Fooled Again,' 'Plain Sight,' 'Broken Mirror,' and 'LDSK' - and yes, I have recently made the executive decision to stop capitalising 'season,' for personal illogical reasons) and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it! I wasn't expecting it to be bad, necessarily, but I knew that it would be different and my resentment towards change is usually enough to outweigh how 'good' that change might be. It turns out that Gideon was worth the endless amount of hype I've been subjected to; fascinated by watching what in gods name it is that he's doing in any episode, it's like a car crash. I miss the cast of the later seasons, and I miss having Garcia and JJ be as major of characters as the rest of the team, though I'm sure they'll get more screentime soon. I did not miss how everyone used to treat Reid, and I'm retroactively grateful that I know it lessens in the later seasons - although I killed myself laughing at his armchair psychology autism diagnosis from Shyer.

Afterwards, she did insist on watching shit on youtube, as is my cross to bear; those two guys I've forgotten who eat food together, which I did pay attention to for once because I wanted to see if Margaritaville would win (it did not <\3), Trixie, and some newer movie review guy who I have also forgotten instantly. Endlessly fascinated by how she'll just skip through chunks of the video. Unreal behaviour. But no, not a bad day at all. I appreciate things like that nowadays.
