I did it!

Well I finally did it. I bought myself a brand-spanking new computer. It was a pretty sweet deal, so I did it. Free printer and free monitor with the purchase of the computer. Of course "free" isn't exactly "free" but at least it wasn't additional on top of the price :) Plus it works with my sims 2, yay!

Only problem is it hates my internet softwear. I had to go and install it all manually and everytime I start the computer it wants me to insert the softwear disk for whatever reason. So as soon as I fix that glich, I'll be happy. I just love my flatscreen LCD screen though. Go me!!

On that note, I'm still suviving from my liver biopsy. Only thing is, I think I got a cold from Valley Fair when we went on all the wet rides :( At least I hope that's the cause for my suspected cold. Any hoos, I just wanted to share my new computerness. Yay!!

Later dayz!

{............[!~*~!]............[!~*~!]............}

damn you ABRAMS, damn you!!

Ignore title of post for the moment. I have other news to post.

Firstly, Minneapolis was a ball. We did quite a bit in the short time we were there. No ikea, but we were far too tired to go there. There always is online catalogue though, yay me! The mall was good, got TONS of exercise. Let's just say I enjoyed going from the 3rd, to the first to the second to the first to the third, back to the first, then across the mall back to the 3rd floor, then eventually the 4th. Quite the last few minutes, that's for sure.

We even made it to Valley Fair. Never been and let's just say that's an experience in itself. I actually went on rides, I thought I'd never go on. I actually would have bet my life that I would never go on one, but here I am having survived that ordeal. Can't say that I'd do all of that again, but it was still pretty fun. Plus cotton candy, always a bonus.

What else? Tons of laughter and getting lost (damn you 0.1 miles and 78th Street W), grr!! hehe Plus I just found out, that I was right. I didn't have to claim my groceries. Had I just said all the food I bought was groceries, they'd (border people) have been cool. Three different people I asked said you don't have to claim the majority of it. GRR. I so could have bought more stuff. Oh well...live and learn (then buy luvs. hehe)

So today was the big day. The day doctors took a little chunk of my liver. An interesting experience, to say the least. Could have been better, but could have been worse. Knock on wood, the test went relatively well, considering the radiologist didn't think it would go so well. You know me, I have to make everything difficult, mwhaha. Too much scar tissue, so they had to go higher, but that was a problem too because it seems my ribs are spaced relatively close together, etc.. etc.. But luckily for me (and for the doctor) he got the needle (if you can call it that, it was more like "big-and-pointy-stick-of death")in the liver first attempt (phew!). Totally weird feeling though. Might have to have another one, depending on this one (yuck!). Oh well I survived, extremely tired and tender now but ok. Tired of sitting down (almost 5 hours of laying on my back, not allowed to really move, not fun).

It was like working a full day of work today. I went to the hospital by 8:30 and didn't get to leave until just around 4pm. One very long and tiring day. Can't go up and down stairs well or take large breaths in, without screeching but I'm sure that will be better soon. The tylenol is really helping so yay that!

Now the following does contain spoilers pertaining the the SEASON FINALES of both LOST and ALIAS. Readers beware and read at your own risk. I am not liable for any show ruining occuring to you by reading the following. Enjoy :)

Lost tonight. Season finale. Good, bad or ugly? Unless I missed something in the episode, I found it to be a bit of a let down. Parts of the episode were awesome and surprising and yet predictable ie the whole walt thing. But the way people were talking about the episode I expected something HUGe to happen in the last few minutes. Instead it was disappointing. Of course the whole does sawyer die or not is huge but nothing too massive. Sawyer better not die, or I'll stop watching. Seriously J.J.Abrams is seriously trying to piss me off by taking away my eye candy, killing people off and ruining perfectly good characters (more on that later).

So they opened the secret hatch...hmmm. There is a mystery there, but still seemed disappointing. Poor science teaching blowing up though, I didn't expect that. That was kind of morbid and yet cool at the same time. I wasn't devoting all of my attention to the tv at the time but yikes!! I plan to rewatch the episode so maybe i'll be more accepting after that.

Now on to ALIAS. Now this episode was crazy. Filled with shooting, murder and crazy cliffhanger. Nadia goes all crazy (thanks to the evil Elena Derevko aka sonia), sloane shoots nadia to save the world and syd, irina is freed, syd agrees to marry vaughn, weiss and marshall bond over the impended world end, destruction of evil mueller (rambaldi device), jack and irina kiss (whoot!), syd and vaughn decide to elope on the beach, vaughn says he needs to tell syd truth, vaughn says he's not really micheal vaugh, SMASH of truck into the car syd and vaughn are currently in, heading towards Santa Barbara. CRAZY!!!!

But I don't want vaughn to be bad. He can't be. Mind you, I just hope he's not dead, you hear me VARTAN you better be back next season. C'mon we all know this is the last season, don't bail now. But this is almost as crazy as the whole 'syd we thought you were dead, two years have passed.' How can they do this to me, to the public. Oh the inhumanity. I can't believe I AVOIDED ALL spoilers to do with this season. Mind you, the season finale so would have been ruined had I read about this. But still, ACK! So many possibilities now. Who is vaughn really? Why lie for SO LONG. I mean in the show's timeline they've known each other about 6 years (give or take) and yet nothing has ever come up? Somehow this flew right under the radar?

What the bloody hell?!?! ACK!

any hoos, i'm being bellowed about going to bed. What am I 7? seesh, get a little bit of liver removed and people think you should go to bed early... ;)

night!

4th post this month and it's only almost june

Here I am at 7 am and I'm watching last night's episode of 'Lost' that I missed.

Nothing exciting or provocative to post, other than I am alive.

Minneapolis tomorrow though, yay! But boo because I have to go to the hospital for bloodwork and biopsy teaching. A fun filled day, yikes. But all exciting. A million things to do before we leave and here I am watching LOST at 7:20 in the morning, hehe.

Of course, I didn't sleep well, and now my asthma's out of control so I'm not sure how this day will be. I'm totally unable to control my breathing right now. As a result I can't eat my breakfast just yet. C'mon ventolin, kick in....

So I've decided to get a new computer. Have I mentioned I hate the process of finding the new computer that is already obsolete? I really just want one where I can play my darn Sims 2 game that I bought last September, have dvd burner and get a new printer. All this new computer talk sparked after my dad asked me if our printer didn't work, which of course it doesn't, well not properly anyways. I've mentioned this fact in the past, but i'm ignored and shooed. Why is that until a man figures it out on his own, it's like talking to a brick wall? Must be that missing 1/16th of a chromosome.

any hoos, I'm off to make a few signs for work saying we're closed this afternoon. Toodle-loo!!

You it's time to move out when...

...you've been in battle with your dad twice in two days. I'm seriously ready to just leave now. I'm sick and tired of this crap at home. I'd rather not move out because I'm partial to my money and keeping it where it is, but this stress of living with my father is at breaking point. I guess i'll just start looking for alternative living and go from there. *sigh* whatever.

I'm getting all the trouble when I didn't even mean to. First on mother's day (of course it would have to be on that day, you just know it was gonna happen) then again last night when we were going to celebrate something for my mom from work. Keep in mind I'd gone out to dinner with friends from work on Monday, and my parents had also gone out the previous night. Neither mom nor I were gung ho to eat out again, but whatever. Time comes to go out and I asked where we were going (big mistake, I should have just shut up). My mom said Boston Pizza. We ate their food last week and I didn't want to eat there again, so my dad said Moxy's (but I wasn't impressed from the last time) then there was Perkins. The problem is at both moxy's and perkins it would really only be a burger or something with fries (because not a whole lot of choice with allergies). Any ways, long story short my dad and I were fighting in the car, because I didn't feel well and didn't really want to eat out. So this boiled out to me supposedly not being happy for my mom and not wanting to celebrate her accomplishment and just being a horrible daughter.

My dad is seriously nuts though. He felt I should have not said anything, just gone out to dinner, regardless that I felt like I'd puke if I saw another fry or burger or anything, etc.. Plus everytime I would try to talk, he'd turn up the music (being country music too, and he know how I HATE that kind)I just can't win. I need to grow a penis, apparently you get more respect in the house if you have one. Damn penis power!

Any ways, it seems no matter what I do lately, he's pissy with me. So it's time for me to go. Sometimes I just wish I didn't have liver problems and could have moved away and gotten a cool job up north or some other province. Instead I'm stuck here, living in this hostile environment where I get in constant trouble for standing up for myself or calling my dad on his injustices/unfairness, etc..

Whatever, I guess I'm just a complainer doomed...

it's like payday all over again

YAY my tax refund arrived. I could have sworn it would have come a lot later, but nope it's in my hot little hands. Woot!! Plus it's like a bonus paycheck for me, yippeee. Money for the trip!!

I'm so excited about the trip it's not even funny. Well I was more excited before i saw the prices of some of the clothes I liked from a store in minneapolis, but screw it, yay shopping! Yay hotel, yay pool, yay hottub!! Yay friends and funness!

Ok enough yays, I think you've gotten the picture.

What a day today though. If i didn't know the full moon was further away, I could have though it was going to be out tonight. We had two psychos come in today, not to do with x-ray, but to do with the lab. These two individuals were, quite seriously, pyscho. I feel so bad for the lab tech, I mean sure one bad person is bound to happen once in a blue moon, but two in the span of an hour or two? The first person was just mental. I just don't understand how some people can be so rude and inconsiderate when we're doing you the favour.

We were all talking about this at work today and it just seems people, in general, are just a lot grumpier and impatient. It's exactly the McDonalds Society. They want everything like 5 minutes ago. They're all completely rude, impatient and they don't even try and listen. I couldn't even do half the stuff I see people doing at labs and whatnot. But to come in and just complain the whole time and not listen to what we're trying to explain to you so you understand the situation is just stupid. Maybe it's something in the air, but people are just so grumpy lately. But with that one pyscho today, the worst part of it all, was that this person was told not to go to a smaller clinic for the bloodwork. How stupid and lazy can you get? UGH! Oh well whatever, it was just a strange day, to say the least.

Well I'm off to save my shoe from my dog...

later dayz....

Coincidences or fate....

Here’s something to think about. For weeks, I’ve been pondering and realizing something. Almost all of my favorite shows are interconnected. Sure most tv shows are, but it’s just insane. Millions of coincidences and overlapping guest stars, it’s actually kind of neat if you think about it.

For example, most of the tv show’s I enjoy were created by guys with names that start with the letter ‘J,’ for example Roswell (Jason Katims), Buffy (Joss Whedon), and Alias/Felicity/Lost (J. J. Abrams). Weird coincidence or intentional? I noticed that one day and thought it was a little on the weird side, what are the chances that my most beloved shows were created by guys with the same first initial. It’s not earth shattering news or anything, just interesting if you ask me.

Next point of view, is all my favorite shows have overlapping actors. They’ve either had guest appearances or had little tiny roles on each other’s shows. I was amazed to find all the crossover actors between my shows. There was Nick from ‘Freaks and Geeks’ on ‘Alias,’ Logan from ‘Veronica Mars’ had a itty bitty roles on ‘Roswell’ (which I didn’t even realize until I was reading his bio, although I might add he did seem extremely familiar), Alyson Hannigan from ‘Buffy’ on ‘Veronica Mars’ recently, Jason Behr from ‘Roswell’ on ‘Buffy,’ Sean from ‘Roswell’ being on ‘Felicity’ (of course he was on ‘Felicity’ before Roswell, but in my mind this is how it works), Jennifer Garner was on ‘Felicity’ originally before her role on ‘Alias,’ plus there was Mason (Callum Blue) from ‘Dead like Me’ on an episode of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and the list goes on. It’s like connecting all my favorite shows by the dots. My favorite would have to be Kevin Weisman (aka Marshall from Alias). He’s literally been on the majority of my favourite shows. First he was on ‘Roswell,’ followed by his freaky-weird existence on ‘Felicity’ to becoming a lackey for Glory on ‘Buffy’ to even being on ‘Charmed’ (not favourite show, but I watch it from time to time, just mindless tv there) to now having a staring role on Alias. It’s amazing how many of my favourite shows he’d been one. Mind you any show that J.J. Abrams does, there is bound to be crossover actors. There is actually a huge list of people that did either Alias and Felicity, to Alias and Lost to even Felicity and Lost. I think he just really enjoys the people from his shows that he’s required to keep giving them work. Nevertheless it’s fun to find all these coincidences and fun stuff. At least I think so…

Ever better was the fact that I was watching ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and I finally realized something I never thought of before, see Katherine Heigl (from ‘Roswell’) plays a girl named Isobel ‘Izzie’ Stevens (not to be confused with her role on ‘roswell’ as Isabel Evans – just another coincidence, I’m sure) whom will eventually hook up with a guy named Alex on the show (or at least it seems that – all the ships point there). Any hoos, on ‘Roswell’ her first or main love interest was named Alex. So on ‘Roswell’ she was Isabel (also refered to as Izzy) and hooked up (briefly) with a guy named Alex who totally dug her before she would give him the time of day, and on Grey’s Anatomy, she’s Izzie and her love interest will most likely be a guy named Alex. I thought this was very much on the humorous side. What are the chances of that, seriously? Either show’s creator liked Roswell and changed names of the characters once Katherine Heigl was casted or it’s just an unlikely coincidence. I’m just totally amused with all of this lately.

On that note...time to find something else do to besides television...Later Dayz...
