Some tv and politics thoughts
First of all, I was watching some episodes of the series Surface that was on 2 years ago, and really wishing I could have found out what happened after the season/series finale. I hate when they cancel really good shows like that. Invasion was another that they cancelled that same year that I'd like to know where they were going with it. One thing I think would be neat to see, is if someone did something similar to what they are doing for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and make a comic or even a regular novel telling what happpens next. Of course, I guess that only works if the writers knew where they were going with the story. Also, I loved the little creature named Nimrod, or Nim for short, and a book wouldn't show him, although the graphic novel could. But I'm not actually a fan of graphic novels, I just can't help but read anything Buffy related. I hope that the Entertainment Weekly issue this week gives the upcoming tv schedule. I'm ready to plan out my viewing/DVR-ing schedule for the year. Sad I know.
Political thoughts: I was watching the news this morning before I left to come into work at the library, and they were talking about how Oprah was supporting Barak Obama. Now, I am a Republican, and will vote that way. But I also am looking at who will end up being the Democratic candidate because there is a very good possibility they will win the next election, and I want it to be the lesser of all the evils in that party. I cannot stand Hilary Clinton, and I think it says something that Oprah who is normally there for the women voters would not choose to support her. I can't understand how Hilary can be the women's candidate when she stayed in a marriage with a cheating husband. Do I think divorce is always the best solution? No, but how could you stay with someone like that, other than she knew by staying with him it would help her political career. Although I personally would have more respect for her if she'd divorced the cheating jerk. I've heard good things about Obama from people I work at the bookstore with, but then I've heard bad things about him from my dad (who tends to be pretty far right sometimes) and also from my brother who I usually agree with. I am also NOT a fan of Oprah's since her little battle against the beef industry, as well as the fact that she just annoys me anymore. So her supporting Obama also makes me like him less I guess.
I'm still deciding whether to go to the concert or not. I may see if there are any tickets still available and have my sister go with me, that way I can avoid some of the awkward/uncomfortableness I predict for that evening. I have the feeling that as usual, the caravan to go will be meeting at that woman's house and leaving from there, and I don't even want to do that at this point. I mean she can't even respond to an email I sent her basically asking her to give me another chance to be her friend for whatever stupid reason she's decided not to be my friend anymore. So why would I ever want to go to her house again? How could that ever be something comfortable? Not to mention that she probably doesn't even want me to come to her house anymore. So I may have no one to go with, and I'm sure as hell not driving down there by myself. So, that is still up in the air for now. I should know for sure by Wednesday when I will probably post another blog.
Okay, I have to get back to work now. I have one paper due tomorrow, and one/two due on Tuesday. Plus I have lots of grading to do, so I'd better get back to work on that. My plan for today is an hour working on my own homework, then an hour grading. Every once in awhile, like now, taking a 5-10 minute break to play spider solitaire or look something fun up on the internet.
