"Emily Thorne" is such a good name

Started watching Revenge. I've always thought that the actress who plays Emily/Amanda is super beautiful, and I often start watching shows because of crazy beautiful leads (see also: Scandal), plus I knew it was related to the Count of Monte Cristo. I love it so far, although I feel like the pace is going to have to slow down soon as she's been taking down one person per episode.

I was going to meet with a woman about an apartment share today, but it started to occur to me that a) I thought she was a bit crazy (she wanted to meet with an old lady from her church at a Macdonald's "at 12:41, 12:42?") and b) I'd really like to live alone now. I've paid my dues, lived in college dorms and shares, now I want a small one bedroom or studio. I don't want to have to live around someone else, I don't want to deal with habits I can't stand, and, perhaps most importantly, I don't want to pay half of a cable bill.

I've actually used nearly all of my cell phone minutes this month! I'm kind of proud. There are four left, and my bill should be auto-paid today. I am now an adult who talks on the phone, and I am also on a good-sized plan where I'm not over-paying for more minutes than I need. Yay.

I LOVE REVENGE. The pace of it definitely shifts in the second season - I think they realised they'd run out of faces soon if they kept having her cross one off an episode - but it's still delightfully dramatic, and I just adore Madeleine Stowe camping it up as Victoria.

It's such a fantasy for me, both in everyone being rich layabouts and in how stone-cold cool Emily is. The way she and Victoria are still dancing around one another is excellent buildup for the inevitable confrontation!
