You Know He Ain't Gonna Die...

Well, I don't have much to report today other than last night's episode of Supernatural completely rocked! Funny story though...I keep calling it Prison Break! I mean think about it the story centered around 2 brothers completely devoted to one another, first breaking into a prison and then breaking out. Sounds a bit lik Prison Break to me.

In other, non-tellie news, ChickLit and I created a fabulous vidspam follow-up to this week's Hump Day Hotties column featuring hetero-life partners! You should totally go check it out because, hey...no reading involved!!!

I've been too long, I'm glad to be back!!

Ok...I know it has been quite a while since I have blogged, but hey, I have been jetting all over the west coast. So, in order to make up for it, I have compiled a list of thoughts, questions, and tips I have discovered over the last 3 weeks. (Oh and in case you are worried, my daily blog pic will be back tomorrow. I just couldn't find an appropriate one for today's entry!)

• It turns out that even though I hate birds (hey I got pooped on once and it was really traumatic...just ask ChickLit...she was there!), I still can’t handle watching birds fall from the sky onto the pavement and get run-over. Apparently I do have some compassion left!
• Sci-Fi Conventions are Awesome!!
• Never visit a hospital hungry...after a couple of hours, hospital cuisine starts to look good!
• Will I ever not be broke?
• I have a new fern named Bernadette. Yes I name plants...they really do live longer that way!
• Damn the CW for creating inner conflict for me once again!
• I have figured out what is wrong with the US Federal Government - no one picks up the phone.
• The Powers That Be better not cancel Supernatural...all I can say is that it won't be pretty!!
• 12-14 hour work days are not fun.
• Apollo is cute in person, but shorter than I thought; Starbuck is a lot more girly...
• Travel Tip #1: Always obtain a rental car from a state you do not live in. That way when you drive like a crazed maniac in Canada, it will be blamed on someone else...like Oregon! I mean we all know about those insane Oregonian drivers...
• Tell me again why No one does comedy like the Brits. If you haven't seen Hot Fuzz yet...drop what you are doing and go. Go Now! I can wait. My blog will be here when you get back! *starts humming The Girl From Ipanema*
• The staff working for Congressional members are never at their desk and never ever answer email or voicemail!
• Apparently I am more of a Trekker than I thought. However, I still find people in costume creepy.
• So while the Prison Break finale was completely preposterous, I have to say...I can't wait until next season!
• Travel Tip #2: When traveling in Canada or Britain, B&B’s are the way to go!!
• I love tea.
• Chekov is kind of a cranky old guy.
• Travel Tip #3: Burbank airport is truly the airport time forgot!
• Once you have been in an incarnation of Star Trek, you have it made...unless you resent being on Star Trek. Then you are simply screwed for all eternity.
• The awesomeness of flower vending machines is immeasurable...I mean it is a spinning diner pie case that has flowers for sale!!!
• Did I mention Sci-Fi Conventions are Totally Awesome!!
• You don't believe me about the whole B&B thing...I have two words for you: Fresh Scones!
• Please let the Powers That Be cancel Veronica Mars. I don't want to watch anymore, but I lack the willpower to do so on my own.
• No matter what various people said, I still think Avery Brooks is an ass...a pompous ass!
  
• Tell me, how did I get mixed up in dealing with animal vaccines again?
• Travel Tip #4: Flying in high winds is not fun and should be avoided as much as possible. If you do have to fly in high winds, make sure you know where the air sickness bag is. Trust me...
• Is it pathetic that I was genuinely happy to recieve flowers on Administrative Professionals Day?
• I can die happy...Tom Paris used the term 'lizard babies'. Perhaps the worse ep in the history of Star Trek actually brought some good! All I can say is it is about time!!
• TVGuide did a whole page article about Supernaturalin this week's magizine...does that mean it is coming back next year? (And doesn't El Deano look a lot like Wentworth Miller in that pic? Ok...maybe that is just me!)
• Travel Tip #5: Travel with people who have money. It just makes everything better!
• In case you missed it, Sci-Fi Conventions are Frakkin’ Awesome!!

But trust me on the sunscreen...

Jon Stewart put it best,"As an adolescent, [Vonnegut] made my life bearable." If you haven't heard already, I don't know how to break this news gently: Kurt Vonnegut has died. Now I know he hasn't published a whole lot recently, but still American literature has lost a titan...a voice of the people. As with Arthur Miller, I didn't need to see a new book published every couple of years, it was just compforting knowing that somewhere Vonnegut was alive. I saw him on The Daily Show a few months back and marvelled at how 'with it' he still seemed and the way Jon Stewart seemed at a loss for words and simply just somewhere was enough.

So it goes...

[Note: Yes I know that Kurt Vonnegut didn't write the speech used in the Baz Luhrmann hit, but I sitll think it is somewhat fitting. I think it is advice that he would give.]

Move along, move along, just to make it through...

The Mad Madam M strike continues and you're still stuck with me. You'll manage, I'm sure. I was inspired to do another VidSpam in honor of her...because, well, it is her invention. I think. Actually, I don't really remember. Whatever. So, on with the VidSpam done up Supernatural style.



This is a creepy video. The music is almost peppy, which makes it even creepier.



This one has fire, which is cool because it appeals to my inner pyro.



This one I just went what the *&&%^%??? Be afraid, be very afraid.

And the beat goes on...

The Mad Madam M has run away with the circus (don't worry she'll be back next week), but I promised to put in an appearance over here and keep you entertained while she's gone. Today, I bring you a VidSpam of Veronica Mars songs. Enjoy!

Creepy ass, yet funny video with these boots are made for walking. Have fun with this one.



And for those of us who have a love/hate relationship with the annoying, tiny blonde one.



Veronica Mars in rewind mode. It's kinda creepy though to watch people go backward so much. I got a little bit sea sick.
