So, today I thought I would share with the world my hatred of Russian websites. While I have no real issues with the country itself, Russian websites simply rub me the wrong way and I'll tell you why: I can't figure the out. You see, many of my favorite image websites are from Germany, France or Italy. While I don't understand the actual entries themselves, I can always decipher where the photo gallery is located. With Russian sites, I simply have no clue. Nothing looks familiar and I end up clicking all the links with little to no success. Anyway, just thought I would share. On a completely unrelated note, I recently rediscovered the U2 video for "The Sweetest Thing". It will brighten your day...I promise!!
I don't really have much to say...who am I kidding? Of course I have much to say, it just isn't all that exciting or interesting. Sure I could rant about what I feel is wrong with congress and the horrific consequences of employing young, low-paid legislative staffers. It would make me feel better for a while, but in the end it is only a momentary relief and I would simply find something else to go on about. I could talk about the new Supernatural ep on tonight, but I don't think many of my readers are Winchester fans. (I know, I know that hasn't stopped me in the past, but I am trying to be a more considerate person...at least for today!) That show has had a really strong second half. Hopefully that convinces the powers that be to keep it around. *fingers crossed* Oh, I am thinking of moving my blog over to Wordpress, but no final word on the subject. I figure if I do switch, it will only be after ChickLit figures out all the ins & outs. I know I don't want to figure it out! I guess, I could talk about the pic I chose for today's blog. In case you are unfamilar, I love when my worlds combine and this is a pretty sweet image. The pic features Simon Pegg (if you have not seen Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz, go and see both now...I can wait!), Kevin Smith (If you haven't seen a Kevin Smith film, I don't know why you would ever be interested in my blog!), and Edgar Wright (Pegg's co-writer and the director of Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz.) Somehow, things don't seem so bad anymore... Perhaps, I should have talked about last night's One Tree Hill episode. I didn't watch most of it, since I don't enjoy watching violence again women, but I do appreciate that the 2 girls fought the sicko-stalker guy and defeated him on their own. I thought sure the show was going to have one of the guys rush in and save them, but for once the female citizens of Tree Hill really stepped up!
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!
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!!
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!!
I hate Spring Forward Day (SFD). I know it actually happened yesterday, but I am still upset. I mean I hate SFD like I hate people who try to jump the queue and Hilary Swank films. (If you have never been presence when someone tries to cut in a line or heard my rants about Hilary Swank count yourself lucky...just ask ChickLit!)
Anyway, that is all I really had to share at the moment. I did recently watch "Shut Up & Sing", the documentary about the whole Dixie Chick controversy a couple of years ago. Even if you don't like country music, this is a fascinating film that takes place over the course of 3 years; detailing the original incident, in which Natalie Maines made disparaging remarks about Bush and the Iraq war in 2003 during a concert in London, and concluding with the release of their new album Taking the Long Way.
So, today I thought I would share with the world my hatred of Russian websites. While I have no real issues with the country itself, Russian websites simply rub me the wrong way and I'll tell you why: I can't figure the out.
