Pick 3 shows and kill some characters/ blogging

Parents are dictadors. You always have to do what they told you...sometimes you may think it was your idea, but it's actually theirs. And there is nothing we (and by we I mean under 18 and financially broke people) can do about it. They planned all my life and I can't get off it, they didn't raised me to be independent, I can't take care of myself and I know it. So I just have to suck it up. If you are wondering what happened, it's just a bunch of litte things accumulating over the years, so as I can't complain to them (it would be too much drama, I hate drama) I complain in my blog post!! In short, I'm just my parents' annoying toy. (I know I'm annoying, and it's in purpose :D)

I'm disapointed, I thought I had already my high speed connection but I was wrong. As slow as always. Downloading Weeds with the usual 62,0 kb/s. It was supposed to be around 150 kb/s!! F*cking thieves!!

This week suck, I'm gonna have to go to school all days of the week!! I'll have my usual classes on Saturday and a portuguese dissertative test and composition that comes from São Paulo, so they tend to be really hard. I hate portuguese (not the language, just the grammar stuff and literature), so I'm not very confident. Whatever.

I have a MP7 (it's a phone, mp3, mp4, takes photos, film and has tv on it!). It's only analogic TV so I can't get cable sign, with series or anything. I took it to school today to watch the olympic games! I could see only a few parts (I was afraid the teachers confiscate my MP7), but I saw a piece of women soccer, swimming, hipism, and beach volleyball (all soundless so I never really knew what was going on!). It certainly helps to pass time!

As you may realise I have done a lot of questions and lists recently. It's a technique to attract viewers! hahahahah

So, pick your 3 favorite shows (i was going to do with 5 shows, but it's hard to kill characters!!) and tell me a character of which one of them you would kill, and if you wanna, tell me why.

My list:

1- Gossip Girl: Isabel Coates and Kati Farkas (they are always together so count as one!)

They are useless, I had even to search their names! They could be murdered by Jenny! heheheh

2- Grey's Anatomy: Erica Hahn

She's annoying, doesn't allow Cristina to learn and act crazy because of surgeries. And she has been hanging out with Mark too much, he's becoming boring.

3- House: Dr. Lawrence Kutner

I don't like him and I want Chase and Cameron back!!!

Which is the best comedy show ever? + things

Heyy, what's up??

I'm not very good, my back ache is back (lol) brcause yeterday I spend pretty much the whole afternoon studying on my bed (and yes, I have tables in my house). Now I'm paying the price! I took a pill but nothing happened. It has been bothering me the whole day, so when I came from school today (12:30pm) I had luch and said: f*ck it! I rewatched 3 episodes of HIMYM and slept until 4:30pm! No studies! I guess I'll regred tomorrow in my math test! lol

I found out there's a lot of brazilian actors in tv.com with no editors! When I have patience I'll start submitting, and maybe I get new editorships! The problem is all my sources are in portuguese, and the moderators need english sources! It sucks!

My internet connection hasn't improve yet, I'm starting to get mad. The lady said 3 days, so if nothing happen until tomorrow I call to complain! The problem is the waiting line, no kidding, they make you wait half an hour and take more half an hour to solve your problem!

I'm in the last year of high school and our prom (and don't know if that's the name, I'll graduated and it's gonna have a big party) is schedule to December 5. And also this year I have to take some hard tests to get in a university (I've talked about it a bunch of times), and usually these tests are in other cities. It's already confirmed that UFPR test will be on December 7 (which means in the morning after prom i'll have to travel to Curitiba, 400km away) and UTFPR hasn't released the date yet but it's usually around December 3 (also in Curitiba). What I'm gonna do?? I can't travel twice, it's very expansive and I'll get too tired! My mom wants me to skip prom, but I think I'll give up of UFPR.

I don't have anymore shows to watch, so I wanna ask you a question: Which is the best comedy show ever? If the 'winner' is not one of my loved ones, i may start watching!!

For me The Best is How I Met Your Mother. i think I watched most of the episodes twice and I can't stop laughing!

EDIT: I'm starting a nacional musical phase now, and I'd like to share a song with you! It's called Jack Soul Brasileiro by Lenine (nothing to do with Jack or Soul, it's just a parody of the sound of this words in portuguese) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVcVS1OPWR8

What's your top 5 fall shows? + I'm pissed!

Another useless blog!

Today I went to school in the afternoon to teach math to my friend Jessica because she missed a day of school. We didn't really study much, it's hard not to talk and concentrate with somebody right next to you! I'm not a popular girl in school, I don't even know most of these people, but Jessica is very outgoing, she talks to everybody (she got that from her dad, he's a town councillor). So we were doing exercises when she said: "1 + 3 = -2". We started to laugh without stopping!! Then this boy asked why was Jessica's face all red and I answered him. He ignored me!!!! Who the hell does he thing he is? I don't care if he doesn't want to be friends with me but my mom taught me we have to be nice with people, even with we don't like them! Where's the fraking education? He's not even beautiful or athletic, but he's rich! I'm so pissed off!! It looks like american teen series, I never thought this things really happened! I can't blame his family because his brother is nice, he always comes to chat and say hi to me!

Sorry, I talked too much, I'm just soooo pissed off!!!!

I'm pissed off at the internet company as well! I pay R$ 89,90 for a 500kbps internet connection, they call this plan "Speedy Power", it's not very fast but it's better than nothing, that's what I always thought. Yesterday I found out there's no more Speedy Power, they don't "sell" 500kbps connections anymore, only 1, 2 or 4 Mbps. The 2 Mbps connection costs R$ 89,00! Which means I'm paying the same amount for a connection 4 times slower! WTF?? Can't they warn their costumers and tell: "hey, we have free improvements"!! They are thiefs, that's what they are! I switched plans, in 3 days I'll have a powerful internet!

TV Things:

Fall shows are getting closer! 19 days until Prisone Break and Gossip Girl. So I wanna know what's the 5 shows you want to come back the most! I thought about making a top 10 but there aren't many people so addicted like me, waiting for more than 10 shows!

My top 5:

1) How I Met Your Mother - Season 4

2) Prison Break - Season 4

3) House - Season 5

4) Heroes - Season 3

5) ER - Season 15 (finale)

Peanut Butter, Olympic Games, My TV Schedule

I don't really have a purpose to this blog, it's just update my profile! I haven't seen much TV series (except for 1 reprise of Lost per day and Weeds on Wednesdays) so I don't feel like doing reviews or commenting on forums, so I'm pretty inactive here!

My uncle and my aunt were in my house to spend the weekend, we've just taken them to the bus station. It was cool, I like them and it's bad we live this far away (about 400km). My mom bought a bunch of unhelthy (is it a word?) things for them to eat, therefore I ate a lot this weekend! Including peanut butter, I have never eaten peanut butter! It's good, but not very much, it seems like this thing we have here called 'paçoca' (roasted and crushed peanuts mixed eith sugar and manioc flour), the difference is that paçoca is solid. My stomach hurts now! :P

The Olympic Games is on!! I don't really like sports but in some important events like this, I watch somethings. Brazil won in soccer today! We kicked ass!! Brazil 5 x 0 New Zeland!! I watched half of the basket game (China x USA). I was cheering for China but the USA was amazing!! They play very very well! I also like swimming (Phelps is incredible!! And too show off! lol) and artistic gymnastics (brazilians are great, I hope they win!!) but I haven't watched any event yet. Most of the games are in the middle of the night or in the mornings, China is 11 hours ahead, so even if I wanted I couldn't watch!

Spring is almost here which means my favorite shows are comming back!! There's a list of the shows I'll be watching:

Monday:

  • Gossip Girl - Sept 1
  • Prison Break - Sept 1
  • Heroes - Sept 22
  • How I Met Your Mother - Sept 22
  • Chuck - Sept 29

Tuesday:

  • Fringe - Sept 9 (I'm not sure yet, but it seems to be a great show!)
  • House - Sept 16

Wednesday:

  • Pushing Daisies - Oct 1 (my birthday!!!)
  • Private Practice - Oct 1

Thursday:

  • Supernatural - Sept 18
  • Grey's Anatomy - Sept 25
  • ER - Sept 25
  • My Name Is Earl - Sept 25

Friday and Saturday: Nothing (really??)

Sunday:

  • Dexter - Sept 28

-> My conclusion: too many shows in the same day of the week. I'm gonna have to watch the most important for me on the right day (which means a day after US, because I have to download and wait for subtitles - I don't really need the subtitles but I'm lazy), others on the weekend and the ones I kinda like to watch on brazilian cable (which means 3 months after US - I can't wait that long, I'll proably download them all!)

I'm an editor!! I'm an editor!!

I did mean to do (or make?) a blog post today, because I did (or made?) one last night, but this case is special: I'm the new editor of Brandon Flowers guide!! If you don't know him, he is the lead singer of The Killers, an indie rock band from Las Vegas. This is exactly the guide I wanted and I got it! Yay!!

Now I have questions...can I put pictures and TV appearences on the guide? And are my submissions moderated or I can just put it in?

And also I reached level 19, Fall Guy!!

You can still comment on my last blog, there are the most loved characters drom The OC, Gossip Girl, grey's Anatomy, HIMYM and Prison Break!

Well, tomorrow is the opening of Beijing Olympic Games and it'll be on here at 9:00am. The principal of my school is trying to broadcast it at the school's salon to let us watch!! Which means we're only gonna have 2 and a half classes!

So that's it, just a short blog to celebrate my first editorship!

The characters I most love from 5 shows.

Last blog I made a list of the characters I hate in The OC, How I Met Your Mother, Grey's Anatomy, Gossip Girl and Prison Break. Now is the turn of the ones I love! Yay!!

The most loved characters:

The OC: Seth

He is cute and funny! I loved when he started talking without stopping, his egocentrism, and his relationship with Summer! Better than it was his relationship with Ryan! They are more than brothers, because brothers are always fighting and they didn't. I love his metaphors too, like after he had sex with Summer for the first time: "I was like Nemo and I just wanted to go home"

How I Met Your Mother: Barney

He is legen - wait for it - dary! It's the funniest character of the funniest show! I love the catchphrases (Suit up!), the laws (Lemon law, it's gonna be a thing!), the rules (Platinum rule). Just love it!

Grey's Anatomy: George

This wasn't as easy as the others because what I most love in Grey's Anatomy are the relationships (and I'm not talking about the love ones). But George is my favorite (not late S3 and early S4 George very much). He is clumsy, funny and doesn't have too much drama (like Meredith with her mommy/daddy issues).

Gossip Girl: Blair

Sometimes she's evil, sometimes she's sweet. Blair always have plans and people backing her up. I can't describe her, she's undescrible. Blair and Chuck are perfect to each other because they are pretty much the same! I just didn't put Chuck here instead of her because of the season finale (what he did to Blair) and because some of his acts (when he tried to hook up with Jenny).

Prison Break: Michael

No surprises here. He is the best, a genious. The plans are great, nobody can do what he did! I love the tattoos! Too bad they barely show it! What about him and Sarah? Soooo cute!! (Season 4 spoiler now) - And I don't believe she is dead, mark my words! I'm gonna be an engineer when I grow up (college hopefully next year, yay!) and I want to be just like him!

The characters I hate from OC, HIMYM, GA, GG and PB.

Last blog I asked you which medical show was the best. House kicked a.s.s!

Here are the results:

  1. House - 10
  2. Grey's Anatomy - 5
  3. Scrubs - 3
  4. ER - 0
  5. Dr. 90210 - 0

Anyways, thanks everyone for voting!

I'm back to school. :cry: My clas.ses started today again! I only slept 4 hours because I was sleeping very late on vacation (You saw, I was blogging at 5am a few days ago!). I slept at 2am and woke up at 6am! Fortunatelly, wednesday is a holiday around here so no school this day! yay!

I was thinking about cool lists I can make...so I came up with the idea of picking my most loved and hated characters of the shows I like! (not all the shows, just 5 of them). So today I'm gonna start with the hated and later I do about the loved!

The most hated characters:

The OC: Johnny

(Season 3 spoiler) - It was The OC's worst season for me. All that storyline was bad and Johnny was the main point of it. He gets in love with Marissa and then a car runs over him and then he dates Marissa's sister and then he dies?!?! And he keeps hunting us through that cousin dating Ryan! Common!

How I Met Your Mother: Abby

The first appearence was okay. I even celebrated because Britney Spears would bring more viewers for the show and making it be renewed. But the second appearence ruined it all!! It was the worst episode of the show, I'm not kidding!! It sucked because the writers had to create something for Britney under pressure, they didn't think right. And, as an actress, she is not even close of NPH's level!

Grey's Anatomy: Callie

(Seasons 3 and 4 spoilers) - I was in doubt if I put she or Izzie here. But Izzie was great on seasons 1 and 2, and Callie I never liked. She (and Izzie) made George annoying. He was such a nice character. The marriage, the jealousy, and now she's a lesbian! Is she? I don't think this storyline will last! I think it will end up with she braking Han's heart!

Gossip Girl: Georgina

I was thinking about Jenny here, but I don't completly hate her, she's just becoming a b!tch. lol. All Georgina did was mess up things between Dan and Serena when they were cute together! And she brought the wild Serena back! I usually like the villains, but this one I hated!

Prison Break: Bellick

(season 3 spoiler) -As a prison guard as a cell mate, he was always disgusting!He deserved what happened to him in Sona!! In all seasons he was always interfering on Michael's plans! I hate him more than Gretchen (she's a bad character btw).

Next blog post I'll do the characters I love from these shows!

Stuff + which medical show is the best?

4:55 am and you aren't asleep? so do a blog post!

So, today I spent most of my afternoon solving mackymacaspac's games, and then I found out something you all probably knew but I didn't: Private Practice is a spin-off of Grey's Anatomy! That's why that episode when Addison goes to LA was so weird!

I watched two episodes of Private Practice and I like it! Addison is great!! Of course the show is not as good as Grey's...I hope Mark do an appearence someday!

When I'm bored I find things useless to do. Today I "drawed" with my amazing technique (because I suck in drawings), I put the paper in front of the computer's screen and copy the lines. I made Sawyer, Kate and Jack (Lost). It was quite good, I'd put a pic but my scanner is broken!

Finished drawing and still bored. I read the all lyrics of 2 CDs of The Killers and picked my favorite lines. And then I made a list of all the shows that I watched all the episodes. My result was 8 cancelled shows and 18 returning or on. Yes, I'm addicted! :D

Just to make the blog more interesting, a poll: Which medical show is the best?

1. ER

2. House

3. Grey's Anatomy

4. Scrubs

5. Dr. 90210

Me, banner, movie, dinner, music

I think I've mention this before, I danced ballet for 8 years and street dance for 1 year. It's not that long ago but my life was completely different in that time (I drop it about 3 years ago). I lived in a different house, neighborhood, studied at a different school, had different friends. Then I got a scolarship at the best (or at least I hope so) school of the city, where the rich people study, and started to study very hard, no more time for dancing.

I pretty much lived at the ballet school, we had clases almost everyday. (and I even wasn't a very good dancer!). It's a municipal school so we had to please the population, pretty much every weekend we had to perform on squares, and very often there weren't not even 10 people watching. We hated it. But I've got some great memories of moments me and my old friends (I don't see them anymore) been through.

The best part was the competitions, we had to travel to other cities and stuff like that. I went two times and my group won in both! It wasn't easy, we slept in municipal schools (we had to bring our own maitress and everything) and the food sucked. But I had fun (at the time i suffered a little bit)!

Now I was seeing some pics now from some old friends and it made me miss that time, the travel, the friends, the adventure, the competions. Good old days. I wasn't thinking about studying, careers, jobs, money, I just wanted to have fun. And things are going to get worse, I know it!

No more teenage nostalgia! Let's change the subject!

Did you like my new banner? It's not perfect because I don't have patience to do it better, but I like the pics! From the left to the right: Kate and Sawyer (Lost), Robin and Barney (How I Met Your Mother), Summer and Seth (The OC) and Logan and Rory (Gilmore Girls).

Tonight I watched the movie 'Zodiac'. Great movie, great story. I got kinda scary thinking - that really happened! What if there's a guy like him in my city? That's one of the reasons I don't like very much movies based in true stories.

Hmmm..what else? Dinner tonight was very good! My mother made this rice with shrinks and mushrooms inside and french fries. Sooo good! And for desert there where these bombons of chocolate with a cherry inside. Delicious. I'm getting fat, very fat.

Okay, i've talked about my life, banner, movie, dinner...as you may realise, I'm bored so I'm just gonna keep blogging! I know what to talk about, music!

The Killers played two new songs from the next album in NY a few days ago. They are awesome. They also played Sweet Talk for the first time live (aesome too!). The new songs are called Spaceman and Neon Tiger. I'm gonna put the youtube links, if anyone want to see:

Neon Tiger - http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=jLvP7JDkPiE

Spaceman - http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=vzcMyRAXffQ

Sweet Talk live - http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=BcEcICuVOxE

I ran out of ideas. I don't know what else to talk about, so I think that's it. Now I'm gonna track some people hoping they track me back and comment in my blog! Sad? No, It's fun!!

Random

Just a random blog.

Today I went to see a movie at my friend's house (she has a 42'' LCD TV). We made popcorn and watched a movie I have seen before but I watched again called 'PS: I Love You'. Great movie. Really sad, but still great. It made me realise that I love Jefferey Dean Morgan! He's always playing awesome characters! He's old but he's still charming! When I called my mom to pick me up she yelled at me because she was almost asleep! Damn it, I want a driver license!

Currently I'm translating subtitles and it's so hard! A lot of work!! I'm in the half of the episode and I translated 363 lines, I started last night. I think I spend like 5 hours doing those. I don't have to sync because I got an english subtitle of the show and now I'm translating it to portuguese. I'm not an expert in english language so there are a lot of words I have to look up in the dictionary, and other stuff I have to make up. I think by doing this I may contribute to piracy, so I'm ashamed to say which show it is. I still have the hope that who watch it will love the show and buy the DVD!

In my last blog I asked which places were you from and I found people from Brazil, Australia, England, Croatia, Canada, Slovenia, USA, Ireland, Portugal, Germany and Phillipines (I edited because of a couple of late answers!) Isn't that weird? People from places so far away connecting with each other? That's one of the reasons why I love this site!

Well, i think that's it, I'm gonna go back to my translations!
