What I really want to do, every Thursday evening, is talk to someone about the most recent episode of the Life on Mars remake, and compare it to the original. What they did differently, and how it worked or didn't. What they kept the same. What they ripped directly, word for word, out of the original ( Read more... )

Hey, uh, people who make the television shows? Far, far be it from me to tell you how to do your jobs, but, uh.

If you're going to remake a show?

REMAKE IT.

Don't just recreate it with ~~AMERICAN ACCENTS~~

HAPPY things that are here:
+ Foliage is at its peak. TREES SO PRETTY OMG. I do not want to work or go to class. I want to drive around the state all day. So much better than last year, you have no idea. SO. PRETTY.
+ It is October. More specifically, it is October 4th, which is an added bonus. Explanation not one I feel comfortable putting up in ( Read more... )

There is no hot water. There is no hot water until Monday. Misery. I have enough clean clothing to last that (I scheduled Tuesday as wash day, then I'll pack Wednesday), but there's still that bathing issue ( Read more... )

Two weeks.

Less, really.

No, Jecca, this is not a good time to start packing. Put the luggage down. You need your toothbrush now.... All right, fine. I suppose you can make a list of things you're going to bring. This far in advance, though, I think you're overdoing it just a tad ( Read more... )

We subscribe to The Week. It generally shows up on Mondays, when I am the only one home and so fetch the mail. Being one of the sort to read anything with words on it that finds its way in front of me, I read it ( Read more... )

Reason I have the best microcomputer applications class in the history of ever: in this week's class, we elected Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck as president and vice. (The professor was showing us one of the problems with computer-based voting! We had two elections - each "ballot" was the same, but in the results for the second tally, he wrote a ( Read more... )

Cat seems okay so far. He was brought back home yesterday (he was stressing and the vet said it'd be better for him to be somewhere familiar) and was walking mostly normally, my brother said. One hind leg was still a little "off" - I guess he had a limp or something. Anyway! Very glad for that. The cat's owners have been calling here a lot the ( Read more... )

First. I strongly suspect I will not be sleeping tonight. I highly discourage clicking this link if you have arachnophobia. Because this? This is distressing. (There is an image in the second article. The first one is arachnophobe-safe. Well, as safe as that can be, anyway.) Oh, my God, how did he not have a mental breakdown right then on the ( Read more... )

Okay, so, only one episode of Life on mars remaining. Woe! I haven't been rambling about this series much, have I? I assure you, it is not because I dislike it! I am repeatedly reduced to incoherency by it! It is glorious.
