Xenaholics Un-nonymous

All right. I am about to take step one. Step one is admitting you have a problem. I am admitting now that I have a problem… with Xena: Warrior Princess. Thanks to Netflix instant watch I have 130+ episodes of Xena in the queue and ready to pull up at any time with the click of a remote. Christian got me started and at first I thought it was the dumbest thing I had ever seen. Gabrielle is horrible. Lucy Lawless is kinda good but… come on. A guy asks her “you… embroider?” and Xena answers “I have many skills.” And now? I can sit there and watch ten episodes in a row. They are hour-long. I’m deeply invested in Xena’s welfare, and whether or not Gabrielle gets into Bard school. I wonder why they didn’t eat the ambrosia and become gods. Every episode they find forbidden true love with different men. How did they get the rights to randomly – and oddly artistically – show so much of Spartacus in what was basically a clip show? I am addicted. I’m not going to try and quit; I’m just letting you all know I’m hooked. But just wait for the withdrawal when I get to the end…

Alana came over to see the puppy last night, and we took some pictures. She hadn’t seen Topper before and now like everyone else she is in love! It’s hard not to fall in love with the little guy. He’s teeny tiny and his paws are still baby paws so he slips and slides on the polished stone floor.

Next week is going to be a lot. I have a couple of shoots to do, including an actor I like for an upcoming OK! magazine “Hunk of the Week” feature, and then Christian and I are going both to Ohio and Maryland for our respective family Christmases. We’re flying on Christmas day, even. Yesterday I shipped all my mom and brother’s Christmas presents home… can’t wait for the day they open everything!
