Drama, Bob Barker, and DVDs for Thanksgiving...

I haven't updated my blog in a long time. Sorry. My real life is busy right now but I'm putting off writing a paper so I thought I'd blog a little.

The drama at school has been interesting. I just emailed a professor about a project that he has due during Dead Week. He's not allowed to do that because of university police. I'm not trying to be mean or a jerk but it's a huge project and he wants it do in less than a week. I was going to point it out in class but I don't like confrontation so that's why I emailed him. It takes my face out of the equation.

After hearing that Bob Barker is retiring in June, my friend and I have decided to drive down to L.A. to see The Price Is Right. We just got the tickets in the mail yesterday. I'm totally excited. We're going to wear bright yellow shirts that probably have something to do with the University of Oregon. In total four of us are going. It's going to be a two day road trip. We plan to drive back right after we get done. I hope I win a car and spin the wheel. I'll post when the air date is later on.

Last week I got my JAG Season Two DVDs. I was very happy but I haven't been able to watch any of them because of how busy I've been. Then I decided to buy NCIS Season Two, Alias Season Five, and the limited edition Alias Rambaldi Box DVD set. Those arrived yesterday in the mail. I picked them up before I had to go to school and then I rushed home to watch a few extras before the start of NCIS last night. I found two Easter Eggs on the Alias Season Five set. I'll look for more later.

I also wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving! It's one of my favorite holidays. All the food and family. My mouth is already watering thinking of the turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, and pies. Everybody have a great weekend.

I’m going to post pictures of the DVDs I’ve got in the last two weeks. And after I opened the Rambaldi box I couldn't figure out how to close it. I had to wait until my dad got home to help me figure it out.

When Will I Get To Level 9?

I just seem to be stuck on Level 8 and it's frustrating. I've been posting like crazy but maybe I should write a bunch of reviews.

I'm having a word fight with some guy over on the House forum. I've never been in a word fight. But maybe it's not fight. I've been fairly civilized so far. Our opinions are butting heads.

I've been listening to country music all day and I have all these songs stuck in my head. Plus, it's raining like cats and dogs here in Oregon. It's a lot better than the 30 degree weather we were having.

Yeah, I'm just rambling while I trying to get past Level 8.

I'm So Stupid...

As the title implies, I am stupid. I thought that I had made it through all of Season 1 for House. Well, there was B side to all the DVDs and so that means not only did I not watch all the episodes but I watched them out of order. I really hate watch them out of order.

And now I'll take a bow for all of my stupidity.

Tests Can Zap The Life Out Of You...

I just took my midterm for one of my art history classes. It sucked so bad. I had no clue what any of the answers were. I'm just hoping for a C in that class. But my other art history class is great and I'm getting A's in it.

I finished all of the House seasons while I was sick. I have to admire a show that inspired me to buy two seasons worth of DVDs after only watching two episodes. The new episodes start tomorrow. I'm so excited.

Does anybody else hang out at fanfiction.net? I've been having some problems with them sending me notices when stories have been updated. Anybody know what the problem is or how to contact the mods?

What else...? It's freakin' cold here in Oregon and it's only the end of October. New York is supposed to be in the 70s tomorrow while I'm freezing my butt off at 37. Usually it doesn't get really cold until December but its started really early this year. Maybe we'll get snow in the valley then.

Tomorrow is Halloween and my friend is going to take her son trick or treating. They're going to come to my house and I'll take pictures. I'm like the family aunt.

I just thought I'd update since I haven't update for two weeks.

Added note: So I can't use the word suck in titles? The site just bleeped it out. I wasn't using it in a dirty way. Just replace zap with suck and you'll get what I orginally wanted to say.

Slaps on the Wrist...

Did they just add the category button? Or have I just missed it? Aren't all my posts pretty much rants?

I watched all of Season 1 of House, M.D. and I finished the second disc of Season 2. Very bad. I should have been writing my paper and now it's almost 4 PM on Sunday and it's due tomorrow.

Anybody want to write my paper for me? It's about Pop Art. Anybody know anything about art history? Well, I don't plus I've forgotten how to write an analysis paper.  I think it's all the time I spent writing blogs and fanfiction.  If somebody told me to write an article or a creative story that would be no problem. But forget it when it comes to analysis papers. I'm screwed.

Thank you for reading my rant while I supposed to be typing my paper.

Out of Mojo.....

Everybody know's what Mojo is?

Well, I'm out of it. Really. I need to finish a fanfic, I need to beta a fanfic, I need to do laundry, I need to read about 200 pages, and write a paper.

But guess what?

I feel like crap. I'm tired and angry. I failed my art history quiz yesterday. That's after I spent all weekend studying. The part that really makes me mad is that the stuff the professor asked about wasn't in the book and I don't remember him talking about in class. Where was I supposed to get that information? Oh yeah, I was supposed to take other art history classes so then I would know how to study for these types of tests. Well, guess what? I didn't. The worst part is that I'm taking another art history class at the same time and now I'm worried. I have to pass with good grades in both these classes or I'm screwed later when I want to get into my digital arts major (I describe digital arts as arts and crafts on a computer).

I have a sinus infection and I feel like going to sleep. Only problem is that I'm at work and I can't leave for at least another 30 minutes.

I just got done reading this article on Wikipedia.com about fanfiction and all these terms that goes along with it. I read that most slash is written by women. I tend to believe that it's true. I think most people that surf the fanfiction and TV dedicated sites are women. I have a theory behind it. Men get to watch sports and women like the whole prospect of endless love that can only exist in a non-real relam. Plus, women are complicated and we can make fanfiction and TV as complicated as we want. Women like details and we get that by remembering that, oh yeah, they said that and wore that in season blah-blah episode blah-blah. I should mention that Wikipedia.com is on my top 5 website list.

I wonder how much space I would save in my brain if I didn't know all about TV. Really? I could forget all these little details about an episode and remember that Jackson Pollock used a technique called...wait a second...I actually can't remember. See. Perfect example.

NCIS is on tonight. Yippie.

That's one of my favorite words. And I'm procrastinating right now. I'm biding on ebay.com for a video game. I ordered House, M.D. last week and it should be here on Friday. So excited, even though I don't know when I'll get to watch it. When I recieved JAG and NCIS this summer I was able to watch both sets straight through. I was a potatoe couch for two weeks. It was so bad.

I had a dream about my boss the other night. Is that odd? I've actually had a few dreams about him. In one, his wife was there. Let me make it clear that none of the dreams were sexual. Although he is good looking.

Does anybody read my blog? Just curious. I know that I read everybody's blog when they put one out but I have a problem with committing to the comments that I leave and then I go and earse them and never comment.

I don't know if I'll stay awake for NCIS. That makes me feel guilty since I haven't missed an episode since the start.

Alright I get to go home. It took me 30 minutes to write this blog. Wow.

I think I ran out of things to talk about.


A little self promotion...

I've written some fanfiction before and it kind of sucked. But I think that I've written some really good stuff this time. My newest fic is about House and if you like the series then go read it.

Here's the link:

In the next chapter that I'm going to write, I'm going to use an Elvis Presley song.

Just had to...

I just got done reading this great book and I have to recomend it to anyone who is a soccer fan or if you like understand your fellow human. Here's a sniplet.

“This tradition understands that humans crave identifying with a group. It is an unavoidable, immemorial, hard wired instinct. Since modern life has knocked the family and tribe from their central positions, the nation has become the only viable vessel for this impulse. To deny this craving is to deny human nature and human dignity.”

Life is so busy...

I said that I was going to post all my comments on the season premiers but guess what? I'm not going to.

Why? Well, school started on Monday and I've been working and doing school stuff. I have no time. I have a little time right now so I'm going to rant and rave.

I must comment on last night's CSI. Did anybody see the sunglasses that Sara was wearing? Those were butt ugly. There's a reason that nobody shows you pictures of themselves from the 1970's. They wore ugly clothes and sunglasses. They looked stupid. Sara looked stupid. I thought they had costume designers on the sets. Did anybody inform the costumer designer that Jorja Fox was going to wear those sunglasses? If they had, then they should have run over and stopped her. But they didn't.

I have discovered the joys of House. I hadn't watched because it's on at the same time as NCIS. But I caught an episode the week before NCIS premiered and I thought it was totally awesome. I've been watching the reruns. It's my new favorite show.

Mark Harmon needs to shave all the way. I might have to start a protest and get some letters and signatures. I liked the scruff better than just the stache.

I’m listening to the radio and my brother’s most hated song just came on.

I forgot to write how disappointed I am with one show. I was so excited about Studio 60 on the Sunset Blvd. It has Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford and Aaron Sorkin as the writer. I watched the first episode. I was not at all impressed. I thought “I’m missing CSI Miami for this?” I decided to give it a second chance before I made up my mind. I didn’t watch the second episode. I forgot to. That’s how much I didn’t like it. Thinking about it now, I was going to download it but I forgot. I was going to download Cold Case too. Crap. Maybe I’ll download it next week.

That’s it for now. I have to class soon.

Sleep Is For The Weak...

Not really, but I can't sleep right now.

I start school on Monday. I'm not looking forward to it. I actually couldn't care less right now.

I'm also upset at my family but that will pass. We all just get tired of each other so often and then get mad at each other and then we don't speak for a day. Afterwards we're okay.

I think my ear is infected. That sounds gross. I cut the back of my ear some how and having my earrings in was only making it worse. I stopped wearing them for a little while and the hole closed up. Then yesterday I forced the earring through the hole and that didn't help any. It just feels worse. I think that I'll just let the hole close and let everything heal. Then I re-pierce my ear. But I really hate piercing. Which is odd. I mean, I have two tattoos and I'm okay with how they feel but I really, really, really hated getting my ears pierced. They literally had to hold me down when they did it.

I only have to work two days a week this semester. It's really great. It's because I have everyone wrapped around my little finger at work. I like where I work. Everybody is totally cool and its easy work and I get paid great and they work around your school schedule. My bosses are great.

Tomorrow I promise an entire article on this last weeks premiers and some other shows that I started watching and some of my other opinions on shows and the characters. Pretty much it's all going to be about what I think about TV.
