What to do?

So, because of how we're changing our personal time policy, I now (a little too freaking late to be REALLY USEFUL) have enough personal time to day off every Friday between her and the middle of October. It would have been handy to have that, oh, I don't know, last week, but that's they way of the world, isn't it? While giving myself a bunch of three day weekends sounds lovely, it doesn't really work since there is stuff I need to get done and when I'm not here, it doesn't get done and it just waits around for me.

So, does anyone have any ideas of how to not waste this lovely time off and also not get ambushed by too much work?

Also, I am cutting pastries and fried foods out of my diet entirely. They sneak in all over the place but I'm cutting them out. I've been eating a /lot/ more fruit recently. I'm not sure how this eating a whole bunch of times a day thing is really going. I need to keep working on it.

I've seen a '50 things I love about comic books' thing going around. I'll try to do that later but picking 50 and not have is just be a list of people and characters... I need to think about it some.

Entertainment and things...

Helana Bohnam Carter has joined the cast of Terminator. (The movie, not the TV show.)

Singer Joss Stone is joining the cast of The Tudors on Showtime. She's going to play Anne of Cleves, the fourth wife of Henry VIII.

Rob Cohen, unsurprisingly, wants to make more Mummy movies. I'm not seeing this one, so I'm not really interested but word is the next one would be South American.

Jackie Chan is set to star in The Spy Next Door. Spies are big again what with Bourne and Bond being awesome.

The Herald Sun had an article about the Justice League movie. George Miller praises Megan Gale's screen test for Wonder Woman and says that things are moving forward. Please, please no. I think that this script could be good but I have little faith in the casting at all.

SciFi is making 36 new TV movies next year. One of them is going to be called RISE OF THE GARGOYLE!! DUN DUN DUN!!!! And it will start Eric Balfour. Looks like Catie got in on the gargoyle thing early. Good going!

Lucas keeps talking about Indy 5. He won't stop talking about it. No aliens, George. Give it up. You've got one franchise where you can put every alien you've ever wanted already. STOP IT! STOP STOP STOP. *ahem*

Sorry. Got a little carried away there.
