My birthday today. And I'm oddly excited considering a) I'm generally not into birthdays, b) I'm doing nothing special, and c) I dread being 21. Yeah, I know in the grand scheme of things 21 is nothing but I can't help feeling... aging ( Read more... )

I'm blantly stealing this link from trollprincess: AICN looks at some sci-fi/post-apocalyptic pilots for next fall.

Duuuude. It's like how everyone and their dog made "aliens invade from teh water" shows last fall, only much more awesome. Heroes looks the coolest ("We are not special! We are Japanese!"). But I am also interested in seeing how they would tackle ( Read more... )

The school computers are evil. They won't let me read the American Idol recap on TWoP. And speaking of both A.I. and TWoP, you'd think the posters would who hate how mean Simon is would have 1) stopped watching the show by now, at least the auditions, and 2) shut up about it already because after 5 seasons with Simon still around as popular as ever ( Read more... )

My mom revealed today that my grandparents watch The Young and the Restless every day. Now, my grandma watching a soap I can kinda see, but my grandpa? This guy from a small fishing village, who served in the navy during WWII, a retired hydro engineer, and your basic old grandpa type watches Y&R? He even complains that every Monday and Tuesday is ( Read more... )

The people on the news were predicting that today would be the busiest shopping day of the year... and I have the day off! Muahahahaha! Everybody at work last night was asking me if I was working today and I was all, "No, suckers! Bwahahaha!" Instead I'm finally getting to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. So, yay today ( Read more... )

I've had a rather productive day, for me (better than going to the movies, anyway). I started Wuthering Heights (is Heathcliff a total douche or is it just me?), looked up where I can get literary magazines for my sf/fantasy assignment, and participated in my classes (and I actually said good stuff my profs agreed with me about, so yay me ( Read more... )

I'm addicted, I tells ya!

Doom: Never played the game, don't like the Rock, won't see this movie. Sorry, Karl Urban. Not even your hotness will enduce me.

Everything is Illuminated: About the only thing I can say about ths movie is that it's arty and stars Elijah Wood. Sorry, Frodo. And can I declare a moratorium on "ethnic people don't ( Read more... )

So my brother is back, and I must say it is nice to have him in the house again (and that is as sentimental as you will hear me get about my brother, so soak it in peoples!). He was delayed a bit meeting us at the airport because he had to go through a different customs line since he had visited some farms on his trip. Mom was quite freaking out ( Read more... )

My bro and friends at Heineken Brewery in Holland

My brother's the one in the middle. Is he growing a 'stache? Ew.

So not shocking they went to a brewery. What was shocking is that they also went to the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. My brother and friends have culture? I just thought they had beer...
