Fire Not Harry's Fault
I'm really going all out today with my posts as I haven't post in a really long time.

Saw Harry Potter: Half-Blood Prince. Don't really have much complaints, as I've been resigned to the fact that they can't include everything. Wish they could have done more, but it was pretty good. Wanted more 3D experience beyond the 20 minutes they showed in the beginning. Probably go see the Christmas Carol with Jim Carey just for the 3D they'll do. I might wanna see HP6 again so I can get the ticket stub. Had to give my stub in to get the points added to my MovieWatcher's account.

Wanted to eat at Jekyll and Hyde Club, but they were quite pricey. Yikes! So, we went to Max Brenner, and I am in love. Prices are rather reasonable for Manhattan, it's really close to the Lush in Union Square, plus the food is great! Definitely going back repeatedly. They sell some pretty interesting stuff there as well.

Should really get back to cleaning, but I'm resting. >.> Yeah. Resting. Just a bit more cleaning, some folding of clothes and rearrangement of my things. Some I can't finish until tomorrow, such as the throwing of the multiple bags of garbage. Drank some energy water, so abit pumped. Sorta. Did some laundry. Mostly to wash the bathroom mat. Newphew was shouting as he peed when he was on the potty and it got all over. Yuck. Then again my dad leaves him in there unsupervised and expects different. His computer was quite loud, but he's like two floors above me, so how am I supposed to hear compared to him when he's on the first floor? As if it was all my fault. Yeah. Lovely.

I always end up ranting about him. But, if he didn't piss me off or upset me so often....He's never at fault, it's always someone else that's to blame.

Long Time?

So, yeah. Instead of going to Chuang Yen Monastery Summer Camp this summer, I went to Taiwan for approximately 3 weeks as my last grandparent, my mom's mother passed away. For the first week, we really didn't venture far as the funeral procession was taking place. The final week was spent all over. Taoyuan, Sinpo, Taichung, Kaoshiang, Taipei, Jongli, etc...

Found out that one of the houses we were staying at also housed my grandmother's frozen corpse prior to her cremation. Looked up the traditions and was shocked. Was definitely suspicious, but didn't really want to believe it until it was like "Bam!" Never actually saw her again. First and only time I really saw her was my visit 2 years ago when she was sick and my mother had recently received papers that said she could leave the country. It was just our luck that the day we left, her "Green" card came through. Didn't hear until the very end, but thought it was weird at the number of non-family members present. Apparently, many of them were representatives or actual important people paying their respects and actually paying their respects. At my grandmothers age, which was in her 90's, it's honored by many.

Yeah.

Did some shopping, not as much as I wanted to, but considering our time was constrained and what not...

I need to see someone about my shoulders as apparently they're not completely straight....er, parallel to the ground. Years of heavy books took their toll. Yikes. Bought a yoga mat, so I can start soon. Maybe. And possibly straighten out my posture. Which is really bad.

Immunotherapy, how I adore thee. Seriously think this thing is working, and not just on my allergies. Sure, my allergies are less and less. However, my immune system in concern with viruses has improved. I haven't gotten sick recently. At least not sick enough to warrant medication. It ties in with my allergies as my allergies and sickness usually go hand-in-hand. Usually starts with allergies, and with my nosed stuffed up I resort to breathing through my mouth, and thus I breathe in icky stuff that makes me sick. It's a cycle.

Cleaning my room and despite some sneezes, it's not too bad. But, then I also took a pill just in case. Precautions and all that despite just getting my last shot the day before. Still have quite a bit left to do. Also, I wanna go to the bank within the next few days to check on my untouched account. Want to see if that court-order has been lifted. As according to the last letter sent, I can access my account. Or should before they add more security measures to it. Might also mail back their letter so that I can work with them again. If all goes well I can put my money into the account as well as start out with Lucille Roberts finally. Wanna do gym work-outs as well as the classes that they offer. Very interesting, can do yoga with them too. Now that I have my own mat, should wash it first though. They say it's best that I do that first and with each was the traction/stickiness works better. Have ankle and wrist braces that I bought so prevent any strains or major accidents. Probably use the wrist ones when I do weights. Ankles can be used the most with yoga, aerobics, and all that jazz.

However, this all relies on my account being accessible to me again.

Dad was being a douche and actually went into my room without my permission. Like I said, a douche. He was shouting for me, but I was in the basement and didn't hear. Barely heard. He was all like you couldn't hear your nephew shouting? I was like, I was in the basement! And he opened my door. Later he was like, your room is such a mess! And I started with the clean-up. My thinking was, it's my room. Yeah, my room is a mess. It's my room. He's not even the one that pays rent. But, I know if I don't clean up, he's gonna go to my mom, and my mom will nap and do a guilt-trip. He'll still complain to my mom and my mom will still do her guilt-trip. Anyways.

Did I mention I lost my glasses in Taiwan? The really cool ones that I got for free thanks to my insurance? Yeah, those pair. The black plastic square rimmed with green tint on the inside. Which sucks as I have to go back to my older Coach pair. There is a very slight difference to them. But, now I have to re-get used to my old pair.

Anyone else have a hatred for that newish song that not only puts down women in general, but disrespects Helen Keller? There is that stupid chorus line that's all like "Hush, girl/Shut your lips/Do the Helen Keller/And dance with your hips." I was all like, oh no you didn't. Basically it's saying, "Girl, I don't want to hear your talk. So why don't you just swivel your hips real sexy-like so we can just get straight to the sex." It's insulting calling females, girls. More condescending than anything. My friend had a post on Facebook that said Helen Keller didn't talk with her hips. She knew sign language, however she could also speak despite being deaf and mute. She accomplished a lot for a woman living in her time and with the situation she was given.

Then of course, I had that stupid chorus stuck in my head for an entire day. It took forever and a bunch of random lyrics to clear my brain. Everytime I hear the beginning of the time, I have to change the station. I can't listen.

Poor Christian/Eliot. Loved him in this epi of Leverage though. The Tap-Out Job. He was great as Kid Jones. Kinda submissive, but great acting! They get more into Eliot's background and reasoning. His conversations with Sophie are really revealing. And in the next one, the Order 23 Job, more is revealed. They show his hatred for a child-abuser. His care of the young boy, and the fact that with a glance he understands the situation. We knew before about Parker's home situation at least with one or two families. Possibly. Her father, whose death she found humorous and the foster family and house that she blew up. Don't know if it's the same. Then, their was Hardison who said he grew up in foster care, except he had Nana as well as an oppurtunity with some Jehova's Witness foster parents that gave him the ability to interact with others, while Parker never had that. And there are the rumors of Parker having a form of Aspergers or something similiar, to explain her personality and lack of social skills.

Braceface

Ok. So, I just had brackets put in yesterday. And it was a bit weird at first, as it felt like something sharp was poking at my inner-lips. As the hours passed, food consumption became more difficult. Chewing was quite the chore as my teeth and gums became sore thanks to the separators aka rubberbands that were snapped between some teeth. Of course, then came the pleasant rubbing sensation of protruding metal against very delicate flesh. Ah, the joys of mouth sores. As my teeth are being adjusted ever so slightly just so bands can fit around a few of them, my gums are being squished and thus sore gums that bleed when I brush a bit too hard and when I floss. I found the joy that is spicy food, as it temporarily numbs my mouth. That and cold foods. However, it is difficult trying to get around the fact that any grinding with molars is painful and biting is difficult with brackets getting in the way. Also, the fact that my mouth can't close properly thanks to the brackets. The first day quickly went from weird but bearable to I would feel much better if I couldn't feel my mouth. And the second day wasn't much better. There is the joy of orthodontic wax, an oral anesthetic called Anbesol, and Tylenol. The problem is, there is still much soreness of the mouth, teeth, and gums. And the reality that I can't really eat many foods.

Glasses, Classes

  • Mar. 12th, 2009 at 11:19 AM
Ronon Arr
I'm getting a new pair of glasses soon. The last pair was 3 years ago, and the one before that was about 5 years I think. I can't wait for it. Seriously.

Eh. I just want to type right now. I'm in that mood again for some strange reason.

At school right now, waiting for a friend to get out of class so that we can go eat. Should be heading home, but cleared up my schedule. So, don't have to baby-sit or pick up the brat, and my parents will be running errands that don't need me to be there. Yay!

Hoping to go to the movies Saturday. Said I might be heading towards the school, and I didn't lie. The theater is fairly close to school. Going to watch Watchmen in i-max? Not sure if I'll like it, so far I don't particularly like that one girl they've showed. The one in yellow. Don't ask why, just don't like her.

And Tuesday, St. Patty's Day. Going to meet up with friends in the city to see the parade and probably get drunk. Told them though, I have mid-term(s) the next day, so not too much alcohol. Seriously. Skipping class for that. I'm doing really good in it anyway, so it's not really necessary for me to be there. Even if there is mid-terms the next day, can still study later that day. And even though there's a quiz the next class day, study powerpoint notes and I'm good to go. Minimum grade is an 80, so it doesn't matter.

Yay! I'm doing really good in my classes so far. No real problems, which I'm really happy about. Pretty high or decent grades.

Crazy

  • Feb. 28th, 2009 at 2:29 PM
Ronon Arr
So, I just watched the ep Guilt Trip from Numb3rs wherein they try to get the double jeopardy clause removed from a case by stating jury tampering. James Marsters guest starred as the jerk who was getting away with murder, but I still love him anyway. What caused my crazy thinking was the way Charlie was acting throughout the ep, with him being passionate about trying to find a way to prevent crime rather than solving and fixing the aftermath. His last quote was that he "felt like [he] was putting band-aids on bullet wounds. [He] wants to stop the bullets." That got me thinking into Thoughcrimes with Amita aka Navi Rawat and Joe Flanigan trying to stop a crime from taking place just from the thoughts of the criminal(s) read by Freya McAllister. It's interesting, especially with the way that Charlie is completely adamant against psychics and the such, but won't it be interesting if he was the reason the program started. I mean, wasn't it part of the NSA and Charlie does have ties there. Only thing would be the apparent age conflict, but let me tell you supposedly she was a high school student, but she did not look like one at all.

Red Fire

So, I was able to find Vosges Haut Chocolat without actually having to go to their stores to get it. Bought one of their Red Fire Bars. Apparently it's made with Mexican ancho and chipotle chillies, ceylon cinnamon and 55% dark chocolate. I am actually pretty disappointed. It's not as spicy as it's made out to believe and doesn't quite have that bang I was going for. Overall, the money I spent on it wasn't really worth it. I was really hoping that it would do the way people write about it justice, but it seems to have fallen a bit short. Sure, it's good chocolate and I do enjoy the spiciness to it. Although, I was hoping for something that maybe had a little less cinnamon as what I mostly tasted was pretty much comparable to hot chocolate with quite a bit of cinnamon to it. While I like the spicy after-taste, I wanted more spiciness while I was enjoying the chocolate not afterwards.

After a while I may try out their bacon chocolate bar, but I'll just stick with Lindt's dark chocolate and chilli.

Skiing

So, yeah I finally tried skiing on Sunday. Whooo! It was fun, even though I spent a majority of the time just learning. I needed it. I did pretty good too, they sent me out to the "Magic Carpet" aka "Bunny-Slope." I went out with an instructor and another kid, he was a brat. I went down a second time alone. At first, I kept my balance, but once I started falling, I couldn't seem to stop. That sucked alot. As it took some doing to either get up or plain get loose. I felt pretty sore afterwards, but it wasn't until I woke up this morning did I know the true meaning of pain and soreness even though I took a pill before I went to sleep. Didn't take anything else today though. May need it the next few days just to get through school and carrying out a whole bunch of books. Joy.

News

So, Happy Chinese New Year! Yay! Got over $200 between my mom, her boss, and my sister. But, boo! 'Cause today was the first day of classes for me. Which seriously sucked dirt. Anywayz. Annoyed at the school for screwing up as I recently received a letter saying that my GPA wasn't enough for my major so they dropped me from the classes even though I dropped them myself back in September and wasn't taking any science or math classes for the current semester. They were also like if you were booted out of a class that you could contact someone or other to sort it out by Jan. 23rd. I got the letter on either the Tuesday or Wednesday before because my neighbor didn't even get it to me until then. Even though it arrived probably two weeks prior and I had been there for all of one of the weeks. Seriously. Annoyed. They also screwed me on my Financial Aid as now they don't have me down in a major even though I know I changed it when I dropped my classess. So, beyond PO'ed at them.

Although, I cam liking the Anthropology class. My Prof is pretty quirky and cute, not so much in the looks department though. Pretty average on that part. He strangely reminds me of Daniel Jackson aka Michael Shanks. Really goofy. My Modern Lit Prof kinda scares me. And her jokes are pretty bad sometimes. She finds humor in everything, which I sort of appreciate. Reminds me of my High School Algebra 2 teacher, except more peppy. Haven't met my Psych Prof yet. And still nothing on my online PhysEd class. Strange. I thought he'd be more on top of that. Oh wellz.

Onto other news, my sister got DVR so now I can record a whole bunch of shows and episodes to be watched at a later date. Yayz! That made me so happy it's not even funny.

I re-watched Avatar: the Last Airbender. Sort of. I skipped most of the first two books or seasons whatever they're calling them. And watched a majority of the last book. I'm in love with Zuko. He's so cute and angsty. Like him and his hair a lot better. I started writing a fic crossover with Stargate: SG-1. Longest I've written in the past few years. Serious.

Back to school, oh the price of the books made me depressed. approximately $450 if they're all used. 7 books in total so far for all 4 classes. And I don't even know if I can access my Financial Aid as they aren't giving me some due to the lack of major. Pissed. And I wasn't going to wait in the long ass line for them quite yet.

Going to have to ask my mom if I can use her credit card to order them online and just pick them up in store when I get the chance to. And it's really sad that despite this being my 6th semester, I've gotten mixed up or lost every semester so far. I'm not kidding. My first class was Anthro, and I went into the wrong room sat there for quite some time as the Prof was late. It wasn't even until someone else noticed they were in the wrong room did I question it my self and had to leave. My real class was right next door and they had started already. Gosh. Then, my second class was Lit, and I had thought I knew where it was until basically I took the long way around to finally get there. Basically, I walked in this huge circle just to get to the class that should have been a straight walk down another pair of stairs rather than the one I had chosen to take. You'd think I'd at least have an idea of where the classes are by now. At least for tomorrow, I know where it is, although I may have to walk around a bit just to get there as there are way too many halls that lead to the place.

Some More Updates

Okies. So, I'm going to get braces soon as I managed to qualify despite my age. Erk! It's going to be so annoying, but at least I'll get my teeth fixed. Also, I've started my allergy shots/immunotherapy. Joy. I get two shots, one in each arm every week for 6 months, then they do it every other week for another 6 months, then every three weeks for 6 months, then finally every month for 6 months. At least in theory. They also have to slowly increase the amount of allergen within the shot. And as with allergies, they have to keep an eye on me for 15-30 minutes after the shot to make sure I don't have a severe allergic reaction as that can occur. Oh, and I'm taking extra-strength tylenol now for my cramps and everyday drama. But, less with the everyday. So far it works fairly well. I guess the doctor would have wanted to do birth control if I had said I was sexually active or had a boyfriend. Which is a neit (?) on both accounts.

Oh, yay! Leverage! Christian Kane is back and as hot as ever. Yum. If I haven't mentioned this already. Also, Simon Baker in the Mentalist. Yummy. I like it. It's a little different from Psych. As people have said it is a tad darker, but there is humor in there despite people saying that there isn't. I like the humor in the Mentalist a bit more than Psych. But, then I was also less about the funny/comic/goofy movies.

Stargate Las Vegas

So, this one thing is a bit belated. But, seriously Stargate Atlantis rocked my sox last night with their second to last episode. I mean, Stargate Las Vegas, rulez beyond all belief with Detective John Sheppard on the case. That's it for now.

Newest Update

  • Nov. 20th, 2008 at 9:54 AM
Ronon Arr
So, I'm pretty much still waiting for my results from the Police Exam, even though I took it back in October I haven't heard a word from them regarding results. I kept getting e-mails about giving other people a chance to take the exam in case they missed the previous dozen times that were available. There has been no good news or bad news, but I much rather have the results so I can discuss and plan my future. Also, even after getting my license, I haven't driven since. I'd rather drive alone or have someone drive for me 'cause I'm a lazy bum.

I have a lot to do regarding my health care. I've already had my teeth checked out and seen an orthodontist, but now she's sending me to NYU to get checked out and apply there. I'm hoping that they can recommend me to another orthodontist that does Invisalign or at the very least behind-the-teeth braces. And after that, I'm attending some thing at my school. Yay. Note the sarcasm. I also need to get the paperwork done and the braces on my teeth before I turn 21 in approximately 5 months. Joy. So, I really have to go at them if I really want to get this done soon. Also, I'm hoping for an appointment with my PCP (Primary Care Physician) about something that I kinda want/need. Hopefully, he can prescribe it for me or else I have to go somewhere else. Plus, I need to see my Allergist at some point. It isnt' as bad as it used to be, but I still need medication.

Using a school computer right now as I can't use my laptop until I get a replacement cord that apparently costs $79.99. Seriously. I want a new laptop, but maybe in another couple of months near my birthday. Although, I'm getting a new phone around that time as well. I may want to get the new Blackberry Storm that's coming out soon. It looks pretty cool. And by the time my b-day rolls around I'll know if it'll be a good buy. But, yeah. My laptop's cord finally crapped out over the weekend. I really want to get the problem fixed soon. As I've been using my dad's computer and the school's to get things done. Not very fun. Although, I bought a new book to keep me occupied for the time being. As I've written earlier, I've gotten hooked on Jim Butcher and his Dresden series. He makes me happy. Which reminds me, I want to take out his newest book from the library instead of buying it unless he comes out with a paperback before then. I still haven't read the first book, but I'll get to it eventually.

Oh! And Donald Strachey Mysteries, I don't need to buy his books as someone was kind enough to post his books on the web and someone else was kind enough to provide a link to it. If I had to buy his books I would have to jump through hoops by ordering and waiting for them. I also have his movies on my laptop, but I have a general idea of where I downloaded from so no problem. Although, I am upset that I had Anything Goes audiobook on my desktop and iPod. Now, I can't get onto my desktop and I lost my iPod. So, I have to buy it again from iTunes. Which sucks much. I want to get the hard copy as well as I think it's a bit longer. But, I have to order and so on.

I've already chosen my classes for next semester. I'll be taking a 4 classes. 3 in school and 1 on-line. Modern Literature II, Psychology I, Anthropology I, and Contemporary Health Issues. At least that's the general idea. Mon. thu Thu. Mon. and Wed. are late days with 2 classes and a break in between. And Tue. and Thu. are early with only 1 class.

Bored off my ass right now as my Philosophy Prof. cancelled class on us. I got here early, used the computer to check all my e-mails, and when I checked the class there was no one there. I walked in put my stuff down and walked towards to door to see the cancelled class sign. Lovely. Now I have about 3 hours of break before my last class. I came here for just one class which makes me very annoyed. But, at least I have access to a computer or I'd blow a gasket.

I tried writing for NaNoWriMo, but it's still going. And I have nowhere near the number of words that's usually assigned. Sigh, although I do have a fanfic idea that spans some time/fandom/etc. If I can get it down, I would fufill the requirement. But, I've had a brain-stall for several years now. Which seriously bothers me. It seems I've run out of things to write. But then I've never really gotten things done.

You fit in with:
Spiritualism



40% spiritual.
60% reason-oriented.


Your ideals are mostly spiritual, but in an individualistic way. While spirituality is very important in your life, organized religion itself may not be for you. It is best for you to seek these things on your own terms.

Okies, after procrastinating for several weeks, I've finally got my informative speech done, about two days before the due date. Hey, at least I didn't finish it the night before, that would be even worse. I'm gonna practice it tomorrow as I finish up my Philosophy homework and possible take my nephew to the dentist as well baby-sit. Huh. Just thought of something, I don't think he'll be able to make school as his apppointment is at 11 and school starts at 12:30 and only goes until 2:30.

After searching through someone else's lj site for fics, I found something that was new to me. The Donald Strachey Mysteries. I've seen the first two movies, but not the last two And I'm hoping to find the books to read soon. I absolutely adore it. It's very modern and retro at the same time. That's probably why I delayed my homework as long as I've had. Very bad of me.

Another Update

  • Oct. 20th, 2008 at 10:23 PM
Ronon Arr
So, yeah. Managed to get my actual license within 15 days of taking and passing the roadtest. And that includes non-business days as well as the time it took to be transferred from my last residence. Also, I took the NYPD Police Exam. I thought I did fairly well, won't know for awhile. And I have absolutely no idea how long it'll take for me to receive my grade. After I receive my grade, I'll have to sit down with my parents to discuss the next step. I've been procrastinating other things, which is very, very bad. Must stop. But, can't help it.

Oh, and while I did not watch Dresden Files religiously on TV when it was out, I've gotten hooked on Jim Butcher's books for some strange reason. So, now I'm reading official fanfiction, but not really as the books are the original and the television series is the sort of spin-off. I'm hoping they'll be back, but it's a bit doubtful. Stupid large companies are cancelling alot of my favorite shows. Sucks.

Once again, I'm babysitting one of my neighbor's kids about three times a week and also picking dropping off and picking up my nephew on those days. Have earned some spending money from them so far, but still saving. I spent way too much money at Lush a couple of days ago. However, I don't think I'll need to go back for at least a few more weeks. But, I do want to go for the Holiday's. Maybe get some gifts or whatnot. So, yea. I'm trying to save up for a camera and hopefully a camcorder. And possibly another MP3 player as I've lost yet another. It's so very sad. Also, I really want a new cellphone. Seriously, lost my old one and had to replace it with my mom's old phone. Which sucks as it can't do anything at all. I've tried texting, and it's doubtful that the people I texted actually got my messages. There's barely any worthwhile games. No camera to speak of. And no music to listen to. I really want a new phone. It was supposed to be replaced by a new one, but at the time the retailer couldn't accept credit and we didn't have that kind of cash on us.

I've got a new blanket, so yay! I'm not freezing my ass off in the middle of the night. Only during the daylight hours. It was meant for my dad as he was complaining about getting a new blanket, but he switched with me instead as I have two thinner and smaller blankets that I got from Taiwan. I missed having a thick blanket, I am in blanket heaven.

So sad, but I've gotten back into the Power Rangers. The new season, Jungle Fury isn't that bad. I've also re-watched some of old seasons and my favorite episodes from them.

I've also tried to get back into writing as well as sketching, but my subconscious seems content with the works of other people and won't inspire me like it used to. I'm like Shawn Spencer, doing something I think that I love, only to get bored of it quickly and change to something else that I think I love, repeating the cycle over and over again.

I've been to school for a few weeks now, and am finally going to update on the happenings and going ons. So, I decided to change my major. Yeah. I have it down somewhere else my reasons, but let's just say that my previous rant about science definitely applies to the situation. Right now, I have Forensic Psychology down as a place holder while I dropped two of my four classes. Next semester I'll be taking four of my last core classes. And the semester after that, Fall '09 I'll switch to History. Probably go to a different school for Masters and a teaching degree. My parents aren't exactly thrilled, but at this point I don't really give a flying fuck. For the past two years, I stayed in my major to make them happy, which they weren't anyways. They keep wanting me to go to Pharmacy, which pretty same thing as Forensic Science. But, I quite Physical Science.

I took my roadtest today, and passed the first time. So, yay! I also have the Police Exam coming up in a couple of weeks. That's it for now.

Ugh! School starts up again today and that totally sucks eggs. I mean it. It does. I've got to spend hundreds of dollars on books that some I won't even look at outside of class. Which I should. I really should. I can't wait to graduate and go back again to study something else besides science because science is kicking my ass. I usually like science, but I'm learning to hate it with a great passion. I'm going to go back for Criminal Justice and History or some other BS, and no not the college BS, I mean real-world BS. I have a really late class today that only lasts a little over an hour, but I still have the make the long-ass journey there because it's the first day and I really shouldn't miss it. Plus, I need to contact Financial Aid to convince them to give me a book voucher so I'm not paying for the books out of my own damn pocket. I'll get less money later on, but it's still the same.

Eureka

You would not believe how unbelievably pissed I am at Eureka and Ed Quinn. Seriously. I can't believe that Ed Quinn would leave the show and the fact that Eureka let him do it. I watched it after it had been aired and was not expecting the ending to occur the way it did. I was in absolute disbelief, repeating "What" over and over and nearly burst into tears at the prospect. However, according to certain people there is a possibility that he will come back. I mean come on, he disintergrated. That has to mean something. And really in Sci-Fi no one really stays dead. He will forever live on in Fandom and the minds of fangirls and fanboys around the world.

So....Yay!!!! for Michael Phelps and his 14th career Olympic gold medal as well as receiving the most-8 gold medals at an Olympic game, thus surpassing Mark Spitz's 7 gold medals at the 1972 Munich Olympic.

Hmmmm....Oh, I normally just watch Burn Notice if it happens to be on when I'm watching TV and there's nothing else that interests me. So, imagine my surprise when I see Michael Shanks. I squeed on the inside cause my family were still in the house. Seriously, I thought I had been hallucinating or going through Shanks-withdrawl. It was mid-way through the episode when I watched and caught a glimpse of him showing up at a club to encounter Michael Westen. It took me a few moments to register that it could possibly be Shanks. I was still in a bit of shocked denial until I checked Wiki afterwards to find that yes Michael Shanks did indeed guest star on Burn Notice.

When I saw him on Eureka I definitely drooled. He was sleeveless and kinda sweaty. The years of bulking up on Stargate: SG-1 was so worth it. I'm going to go back and watch the shows that he's recently guest starred on, including two episodes of Stargate: Atlantis.

Oh and Psych. I missed the last episode because of Phelps, so yeah.

And Chris Noth is on his last episode of Law and Order: Criminal Intent sometime today-tonight? Don't know if I want to watch it now or later. Most likely later as the nights are filled with the Olympics and not much else.

So, yeah. Quite a bit has happened in the past couple of days that I want to get down, cause I'm bored and the Olympics aren't back on yet. Let's see, first on the person life agenda: I've finally scheduled a date for my road test as well as the classes leading up to it. Seriously, it's been years since when I should've taken it, but I've been putting it off for ages now. Hmmm.... abit late in the news, but I'm also taking the NY Police Exam two weeks after my road test. School starts up in a few weeks, and I'm hoping to meet up with a few friends before then as well as look for my books on-line so that I don't have to pay an extra 40% on my many texts. I think that's it for the personal stuff, now onto some of the other things I wanted to mention.

I've finally caught up with Psych as I mentioned earlier that I thought it was coming back soon, but apparently it had already aired prior to Eureka. I still love Eureka, despite the fact that Allison did in fact accept Nathan's proposal. I'll wait on how that turns out. But, I think I may actually get into Jack/Allison/Nathan. Possibly. For Psych, I accidently watched the second episode before the premier and didn't get some of the things until I went bac and watched the premier to discover that Shawn did in fact resemble Bender from the Breakfast Club. The hair, the clothes, the piercing. Loved it. I like the fact that they bought in his mother and explained the situation. And now with Shawn getting to know his dad more is great. Also with Lassiter becoming more laid back and such, I am in love.

Although I initially missed the season finale of Doctor Who, I watched the last two episodes later on after finding out about the last two season of Companions coming together. Thankful that the Doctor didn't regenerate technically, but I'm not sure if he's still the TenthDoctor or can be considered the Eleventh? And then there's also two Doctors now. The other half-human. Poor Donna. I liked her. She gave him lip practically ever step of the way. I watched Catherine Tate on the comedy sketches. First one I saw was actually the one with David Tennant as Mr. Logan the new "English" teacher who was still the Doctor. "I ain't bovvered!" She was absolutely hilarious.

That's it for the moment, I guess.
