i love tv

I haven't had much time to be keeping up with all the TV shows that I love, but here's a list of what I think is awesome.

1. Glee - Best. Show. Ever.  This is my new fave! Jane Lynch is perfect (well, everyone in it is perfect), and the more her character gets into the show, the better/funnier it is (my fave Jane Lynch part so far = writing in her journal).  Just hilarious! This is one of the only shows that I've been keeping up with every week.

2. Grey's Anatomy - Obviously. But I hate the whole deal with the merger with Mercy West, but whatev, it's still alright - There have been some pretty funny moments so far (Christina in pediatrics = so funny). I've also been watching this one every week... aaand I'm pretty much in love with Callie and Arizona <3

3. Criminal Minds - I've only seen the first couple episodes of this season.  This show is amazing and terrifying.  So good.

4. Dexter - So many people have never watched Dexter before! What?! If you haven't seen it, you are missing out! Go watch it.

There are more, like Gossip Girl, but I've missed so many episodes I'll have to wait a while before I have time to get caught up.

Love, Keiko.

scrabble dabble.

keiko and i finally played scrabble today at higher ground.
this is our first game since the beginning of summer.
it was actually a pretty good game!
we used the whole board and almost all the coloured tiles.
both of us also scored above 300 points!
unfortunately i came out on the losing side (i usually lose to keiko)
305 - 314.

ps. the dublin mist and banana hot chocolate at higher ground are delectable.

Stitch n' Bitch

I came across THIS article early today.  Sounds pretty amazing to me!

Ellen Page + Alia Shawkat.  Awesome.

Love, Keiko.

Not too happy

There is so much I would rather be doing right now, but I am stuck completing a Stats assignment (part of which, I copied wrong from the program at school - and the program isn't compatible with my Macbook, so I can't even do the parts that I want to) and studying for midterms.

Some things I wish I could do:

1. Play Scrabble and/or Bananagrams

2. Clean my room/Organize my room (sometimes I can be a little bit OCD with organization...)

3. Shop.  I need more tights, maybe some skirts, and some sweaters

4. Catch up on Gossip Girl + The Hills + Glee

5. Bake! I've been in a bit of a baking mood (but lack the funds to buy ingredients).  Cupcakes, please.

Love, Keiko.

p.s. Fuck the snow.  I'm not ready for this.  Today after work I had to scrape the ice/frost off of my windshield.
