I think I'm falling in love with Life's half-brother series, Burn Notice. It's not helping that there's
Bruce Campbell as the Bobby counterpart, the framing and finding out who and why/conspiracy, the protection unbeknowst to him these framers are giving him, the obsession with one healthy thing (yogurt to Charlie's fruit), the screwy relationship between main character and parental, The great outfits that really fit the characters personalities (again, wtf Bobby/Bruce (Sam) love Hawaiian shirts), crisis/crime/case of the week format, the main character is unnaturally attractive, the main female lead needs to gain 10lbs and not look so sallow, is a resourceful ~character~ series, science is a fun knickknack to kick around, brooding or agape stares are IDENTICAL WTF...
I'm not gonna write a thesis, but, wow. I always wanted to get into this series predominantly for The Bruce. Better late than never. Doesn't hurt this Weston guy is hot-ish.
Something has weighed on my heart for a while. Some parts of it, much longer than the other parts, have left an impression that, when trying to remove it, the area beneath remains disturbed.
There is some serious lulz going on at ONTD over Perez Hilton getting "wounded" in a tussle with will.i.am. All of it so ridiculously stupid, you will laugh. But, also, thank you, Robbie, for these true and applicable words:
• You must tell 47 people about this game. • Chris is the one that you love. • Gackt is one you like but can't work out. • You care most about Brian. • Mum is the one who knows you very well. • Alissa is your lucky star. • Koakuma Heaven is the song that matches with Chris. • Disturbia is the song for Gackt. • Peace Sells is the song that tells you most about YOUR mind. • and Goodbye Yellow-Brick Road is the song telling you how you feel about life Take this quiz
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And thus the endless cycle of the meme goes on and on and on and on ...
Tonight was the first night, in my life, I had ever physically pounded my head into a wall.
I relished it. Delicious pain. Wonderful.
That, and Margie is gonna be put in an Alheimer's home. I never knew when to cry uncle, but in comparison, Ron, Mary, and Randy are all big wimps when it comes to necessity of care. Atleast Cathy and I know you gotta do what has to be done, even if you want to cry every 5 minutes when she does because she doesn't know she's a person anymore.
This doesn't have to be done, but why not wash your hands of a being that is no longer human?
Your memories, your abilities to discern that paper in a book should not be eaten and no brushing your hair with a tube of toothpaste is not effective, make you human, do they not? I mean, God put that special touch in man that He left out of animals. But when you become just a simple eating and pooping machine, what else is there? But degeneration like this comes from a weird place of pain. It makes you doubt all and everything you've felt and are. And then what? Where does the growing and healing begin again... or did it ever stop?
When I started with her, her mental age was about 7-8. Now? Today? This past week? A year and a half. She can barely walk, gets into things and trouble, falls from squatting height. Tonight, though? A year old. Putting everything into her mouth, tasting things that shouldn't be tasted. However, much larger and more cumbersome. A 15lb baby is MUUUUUUCH different than a 135lb baby. I physically picked her up 3 times today.
So, by the end of the week, she may be in her new digs. Little Joe, the bird, may be living with Nanny Trammell. Sassy, the catpoodle, living with Beth, Margie's grand-daughter-in-law with her other poodle. The house? Housesat by me some Monday-Wednesday while Randy is out of town. Working at PictureMe, hopefully, only from Thursday-Saturday, so I can finally rejoin my church family and start working again toward Journeyman.
I've felt quite less than human being here. There is no clocking out. There is only fear and trepidation.
And faith in God's provisions. He hasn't left me; He's protected me yet grown me so much this far. And tomorrow, the sun will shine on the house again in the earth's rotation.
My prayers go out to those who can't afford or find a way to provide for family members who basically lose their minds like this. That you can't have the luxury of dumping your problem on some other stranger paid a good pile of money to do so for just an 8 or 12 hour period knowing other coworkers are there with you toiling just the same. While some find blessings in it, the toil, the emotional strain it can toll... it is incalculable.
So even if my period had come at the right time, it was raining cats, dogs, crabs, funky looking fish, and Portguese Man of War or is it Men of War, man of wars, for plural? o.o;;.
It rained about 28-29" in Daytona in the 6 days we were there. Argh. One pretty, clear morning, two nice/not raining afternoons, and 2 clear/not raining nights. It was fun, though. Got some great new gear and all. And hats! Love caps now. May take pics sometime of all the new loot. And especially, the zebra striped shiny silver and black belt I got I love and can't wait to wear.
Also, Band of Brothers came on all Saturday on the History channel, so while it was raining/I was mending from stepping on glass near the kiddie pool, I enjoyed watching The Damian leap his fine self into Austrian lakes.
And thus, meme as well:
Comment on this post. I will choose seven interests from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so others can play along.
1) Comment to this and I will give you 3 people. 2) Post this meme with your answers. 3) Provide pictures and the names of 3 people. 4) Label which you would marry, shag, and throw off a cliff.
1--I have had a chance to sift through my music backlog recently, after completing two runs through the id tags of my music on iTunes. I broke 12,000 songs added to it last night. It excludes instrumentals I keep... In case I get into video editing again.
There are only 3 albums right now awaiting my ears/time-- Lolita23q's "Marble_Shaking_Ward" [as of this post, it doesn't suck too bad. yamipandora overhighly recommends it, I just found a couple/few songs to my dislike. Songs with Japanese fast-talking jibberish, long guitars that just go and go nowhere that made sense, trust me I am trustworthy, and songs with "la la la la laxinifinity" always get deleted, too (this didn't apply to this album)... Rie Fu's "Urban Romantic" which I hope isn't boring and TommyFebruary6's "I Kill My Heart"and do not hardly tolerate the all caps bullshit Japanese musicians do just because they can't differentiate between capitals and lower case or switch their typesettings.
2--I'm waiting on the following CDs to arrive from a special eBay seller with free shipping and incredible prices and YesAsia. I have, also, a weird rating system to determine what and IF I do buy online.( cut for length. Yes. Length! )
So, all in all, I'll be the proud new mommy of 22 new CDs. I already have room on my shelving, ahuhuhurrrr.
I love LOVE LOVE Craig Ferguson and this video has amazing amounts of win.
The true nature other than infecting the masses with this combined awesomeness of Bondage Man, puppets, and Fatboy Slim lip-synced to by a Scottish lad of this post is to request an .avi or something of this video.
From 2.07-2.29 and overall impression of the video?
WORST. SUPER BOWL PARTY. EVER.
See for yourself.
Oh P.S. Decided to invite David Yarley to go see L with me next Wed. He seems up for it, just isn't sure how to get to the theater. I bought some super cute shoes for an outfit greatly inspired by the Japanese street fashion I saw last year. Actually, more gyaru than anything I've ever worn, tbph, and as close to the original as the US can get, I suppose. $10 from target~
I have a lot of TV loves, flirtatious encounters, and acquaintances right now, aka 'that post I was referring to finishing up earlier'. I find well worth the post, besides the abundance of real life occurances... occuring now.
Ultimate loves?
Life. It MUST be Life. The Damian is hot, and despite everyone's complaining, bitching, moaning about "wah, the previous episodes were nothing like season 1 wahhhhh", I still love and enjoy the show a lot. Really, the documentary film guys? This is actually a nice element which was over-abused in the 1st season anyway. I wanna see more current stuff.
My worry? The season finale could be the series finale. The big bad man chapter has been closed. BUT! The hope? There are some empty spaces in Crews' Conspiracy Corner™ that need to be filled, which can be done in the next season, too.
What did I love? [1] Um, hello. Karate chop action? [2] Touching. Or barely not touching. [3] GENERAL BADASSERYX129364918274668 [4] THE IDEA THAT THIS CAN BE A FEASIBLE SERIES FINALE IS NOT SOMETHING I LOVE BUT I LOVE THAT I HATE THAT IT SATISFIED ME a la 15lbpurebunny I guess we'll just have to see. Until there's a definite answer and possible next season? "Save" that episode on the DVR, watch it when you need the fix. The finale grade? A-
Lie to Me
What do I love best? [1] Seeing Tim Roth on a weekly (or bi-weekly, thanks to <i>American Idol</i>) basis. Sexy and British and OVERBEARING SOMETIMES IT IS NICE. [2] SMART SHOW IS SMART. I hope that carries over to Japan like <i>Terminator</i>. Fox FINALLY has some great shows on that network.
Final Grade? A to A+
Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire. Monty Python wishes it could have maintained this beautiful kinda funny. Distinctly British kinda satire, funnyness, with a nice touch of US reasoning and Hollywood beauty, brawn, and beasts. Thank you, Comedy Central HD and the BBC, for taking advantage of the awesomeness.
What do I love best? [1] Sean Maguire, aka, Krod, looks like a hunky version of Seth Green. To be honest, I DVR'd it on the off chance it might just BE Seth Green. The lack of Seth Green, however, does not reduce the awesome rating I'm gonna give it. [2] BRYN! From The Baker, Bryn was the Shakespearean war reenactor and the urger to go save their baker from saving the girl from the clutches of the gay, jealous, heartbroken man who can't stand that the baker isn't gay for him too! Partly, the idea that this project is just 1 degree (or 2, not sure) separated from The Damian gives it a nice guarantee to watch it. [3] Aneka is stupidly pretty, and kinda funny about how slutty she is. [4]THE FLAMING SWORD... OF FIRE. This aspect should probably be higher, shouldn't it? [5] My midieval dork hindbrain is just jumping up and down. Not since Hercules have I had a suitably awesome, swords and bows action series that was respectably cheesy. [6] John Rhys-Davies is gonna be in some episodes! I'M STOOOOKED. Final Grade? A [yes, this show currently has a higher rating than Life, but it'd be tied if Life didn't forget the fruit in this episode. A pomegranate, with the blood-colored, rich juice that comes from it, would've been nicely appropriate.] My flirtations?
Cupid. It's a new idea from ABC, or just nicely rehashed. A guy is found and put into an "asylum" and his shrink, a famous love doctor I guess, tries to find out why he thinks he's Cupid. Anyway, she quizzes his knowledge, but somehow, he doesn't know that Cupid.Eros, married Psyche. Yeah, obvious foreshadowing, I know, but the guy is a bartender, who does bartendery tricks very well and is weirdly, ruggedly handsome. He has to get 300 couples together for a happily ever after before he can return to Mt. Olympus. Cute show, not overly serious, but nice these first few episodes. Not too sexual, either, which a great change from their basic lineup.
What do I love? [1]RICK GOMEZ!!!!!! From Band of BrothersI know, the degrees of separation from The Damian are swaying a lot of this, huh?, he played Luz, one of my favorite characters from the bit. Super sweet guy in this series, too. A divorcee whose parents just celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. Said he was so single trying to measure up to their standard and owner of the bar that Cupid works at. VERY SWEET GUY. [2]Bobby Canavale/"Trevor" is really fun to be around. He's all about making ppl fall in love and meet and struggle and helping them, not trying to sleep around himself, which is a nice change from Greek mythology association.
This looks like it'll be a nice watch while I'm at Margie's. I don't have to be completely engrossed to keep up with it.
My Grade? A healthy B.
My "just friends"/aquaintances?
Phineas and Ferb. Cute cartoon on Disney. VERY smart. The art is quirky, but not overindulgent in fantasy like Spongebob Nazi, but not as realistic as Kim Possible. Good use of The Damian in an episode to act over British and FINALLY be a 00-type guy literally. Other episodes are quite fun. So is the name of the antagonist--Doofenshmirtz.
What do I love? [1] The focus on gnomes in one episode. [2] Utilizing the talents of The Damian. [3] Genius little brothers tormenting an older sister with their ingenuity. [4] Lots of little touches make it funny for people like me, not just be noisy to make kids laugh.
I haven't watched many episodes, just some that have a catchy title, but it's a nice guilty pleasure.
My grade? B- It could do better, but hey... It's for kids. They don't ask for much.
Dancing with the Stars The show is base, however, the stars are amusing to me. I love Steve-O, or mainly, the idea of him being on there. I rather enjoy it because the costumes are fantastic, even if the songs suck or the dancing is weird. They had Swing and Lindy Hop dancing so far this season, so it made me happy to atleast see it again.
What do I love? [1] Steve-O, but since he's gone now, I just have to endure it for Margie.
My grade? .... I just won't give one.
Now, what matters the most to me is, that somehow, the following shows survive to next season:
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Dollhouse Lie to Me Chuck LIFE.
All 5 of these are threatened endangered or may be extinct.... No one really knows until May 5th. ;-;
1-- That remix, club song made out of Christian Bale's tirade. Wanna know what I'm talking about? Download it here
2-- Minoru Shiraishi. What is it about him that is so awesome? What about him ISN'T?
He's also super cute-dorky-sexy in the "Adventures of Minoru Shiraishi" as well.
His Missus jokes are perfect here, as well. The first 2.5 minutes are the best. I wanna be his missus ;-;
3-- RAAAAAAAGING about how awful dears members are. 32894298376 people will comment with the same thing... Not helpful, just flooding my inbox. And instead of actually reading that I say it's my own conjecture and I'm probably wrong, 9823697236 people don't need to say I am. Just takes one. Really. And none of them have an appreciation for the limerick... or something... I wrote on the spot for the post. It had meter and flow and some rhyming for those who must have it. Augh, pearls to swine, I tell you.
Dears' whines from far and wide Lament the delay of Gackt His first U.S. foray Onto the big silver screen Is continuously pushed back(t).
Trying to finish a different post I put on secret so I could sort out the html and all for it... Because I'm anal like that.
4-- Possibly going to the beach in May for a week with possibly all of the family (sans cats). Depends if Daddy can get the time off he requests.
5-- DRIVING! Since I'm covered on SOMEONE'S Nationwide insurance (Margie and Mum have it, including Nanny), I can drive any of their cars with their permission. I've been on 5-6 solo trips, one including surviving Cherrydale, which wasn't really bad. I love cranking the music up because I know I won't disturb anyone but meeeeeee.
5.5-- BECAUSE I can legally drive now, I want to invite a guy who makes me feel a new kinda funny to go see L: Change the WorLd with me when they show the sub version at Hollywood 20. I love that it has the main Yatta guy in it playing FBI No, not Ray Penbar. I wanna yell "YATTA! YATTA!" when he comes on screen, but I only get to do that if I go alone, aheh. I fear, however, his attachment to swing dancing, if it is still on Wednesday night's, will incite an invitational declination. ;-;
6-- Sifting through tons of old downloads of albums and singles and PVs I hadn't been able to watch. I've found a lot of great stuff, like Namie Amuro's "Wild/Dr." single, learned I can barely stand Hyde anymore (he just sounds too cocky and doesn't have the talent to back it up like Gackt) and especially anything from I'VE Sound.
7-- Setting the DVR at home online on directtv.com. I only wish I could see if stuff is already set, or what has already been recorded on it. They could improve that, but it's great they've utilized the technology this far.
So I raised my hand to be included in a meme recently...
But I deleted the email assigning my 3 male choices. Can't figure out which of my few friends did it. And it's been eeked out of my queueueueueue of recently posted comments.
And I really wanted to shit away some time to do one.
Augh.
Now that is a new level of lame I had not yet attained.
Spread these links around on the interwebz more, so as to make it easy for schlubs like me to find it and not the Russian dub.
I'll finish the picspam as I get to it, but since today was my day off (and I had to fiddle with my itunes library...I'm terribly anal...), I thought I'd let it go ahead and upload. :) Let me know if there are any probs.
Like I promised, ( Part 2 and 2.75 of 4 ) So exhausted after a long day of work... Dusty. I'm kinda exhausted from the picspammage, actually. Naptime on my day off yay!
One of the fun ways I've been enjoying my break at work is by escaping into Damian Dreamland. Since it was a small movie, most anyone not near Europe won't get to see this movie because no one cares about the release rights to have it in the US. After a failed attempt, downloading a Russian dub version, I finally found the untouched one online. If anyone hasn't seen it and comments today, I may upload it for everyone!
I needed to do a review/picspam filled with spoilers for the wonderfulness of the movie ( The Baker Part 1 of 4 )
[1] - List your top 10 celebrity crushes. [2] - Put all of them IN ORDER of your lust for them. (10 to 1, 1 being your number one fixation) [3] - Say which movie/show/thing it was that hooked you. [4] - Supply photos for said people.
Disclaimer: 7/10 people on this list are happily married. Only in the event were they to be single would I ever consider wanting to have sex with these people. Which is why doing this meme was so difficult—I wouldn’t want to tear anything they have sacred in their lives asunder with my idiocy—and I have a feeling the sentiment is the same with many other fans.
