So, no, I didn’t forget about you. I kind of have been
blogging twice a week but for a cat thing. I volunteer now at an older cat
rescue place at a pet store near my house. Twice a week, I have to write these
shift reports. Of course, my shift reports are ten times longer than they need
to be. Probably one of the bigger reasons I stopped blogging over here. I get
my long writing fixes else where. But don’t fret, I am back! I missed you too,
internet hug [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[blog]]]]]]]]]]]]]]].
So what’s new? Any of my readers get married, have kids… the
works?
My last blog was a little off the usual topic. Sorry. I
needed to vent. Not having a best friend any more has created this vent less
void…who will listen to my bad day at work when I get a job? The cat just wants
food. Sometimes the cat annoys me. In the way that a boyfriend might live with
you jobless and rent free eating free food and rolling around in free cat nip.
Yea, I’m on to you Kitty! Too bad there aren’t a whole lot of employment
options for my cat. I think we both need to start pulling some weight if we
want to pay rent. Just saying
Other than that exciting news, life is still the same. I
found a cheap used copy of Final Fantasy 13 for PS3 which I played on the PS3
at my Dad’s house. It was technically my first RPG game if you don’t count FF 6
on Psone, which the horrible graphics gave me such a headache. I love love love
FF13. I wish I had stayed longer to play it, but I had to come home and take
care of my jobless cat. I find myself day dreaming about playing FF13. It’s so pretty
and I love the story line. This just proves that I should have purchased a PS3
instead of the x-box360 (which I took back and used the refund money to go out
drinking with friends – STUPID). Future purchases: Used PS3 and Used FF13.
This
is why I really need a job. Rent is easy. I mean, my current rent is a little
higher than I’d prefer, but I can always make rent. I am smart (I’m a girl.)
Started a new series, CASTLE. Great show. Their network does
horrible marketing. From the commercials I saw, I thought it was another (BORING)
crime/law drama. Nope. It’s a funny sarcastic writer (firefly captain) who
follows a hot (strong) homicide detective he uses as a muse in a line of books
called Nikki Heat. IF you haven’t seen this show, know this – I am extremely
picky and I loved it. Don’t hate me if I say I wasn’t a big fan of firefly. (I
found it boring and it dropped it half way through the series.) It’s funny
because Firefly is full of the younger versions of a lot of my favorite
actors/actresses. The lady from V, the lady from 4400-Sara Connor Chronicles-Dollhouse,
the guy from Castle… and much much more.
Sometimes I wish I’d stopped getting unemployed (more than
for the obvious reasons) but also because I always start new series I haven’t
seen. Why is this a problem, you ask? Well, Fall is when they all seem to premiere.
I feel like my schedule is booked right now with all the shows I am trying to
stay current; I am not complaining, I love options. But wow, my Thursday is the
craziest. I think I have close to 10 shows that air that day alone. I read
somewhere that Spring/Summer is the time for block busters in the theaters and Fall/Winter
is the time for great prime time television. I guess people stay in when it’s
cold out. I happen to like being out more in the cold, but I’m weird.
I am actually really excited about my oldies but faves like
Fringe, Haven and Warehouse 13. Some of the new shows that I am really liking
are The Secret Circle, Pan AM and The Playboy Club. I still haven't made up my mind on the new shows Hart of Dixie and the Ringer... And I still need to Charlie's Angels and the Gifted Man. Plus, there are two twisted fairy tale like shows coming
out around Halloween. I think it’s funny that there are two coming out at the
same exact time from competing networks. Their overall series concepts appear to
be slightly different. See below:
The Wiki of Once Upon a Time (ABC): Airs 10-23-2011
The series is loosely inspired by the classic fairy tale stories except set in the present day, hence the series name. The stories hold a key to the mystery that will draw a bail bonds collector and the son that she gave up for adoption 10 years earlier to a New England town called Storybrooke, Maine. This town is actually a parallel world in which fairy tale characters look like normal people and don't remember their true identities or anything about their true lives.
The Wiki of Grimm (NBC): Airs 10-28-2011
Set in present-day Portland, Oregon, the series puts a new twist on the stories of the Brothers Grimm in which a homicide detective learns that he is a descendent of a group of hunters known as "Grimms", who fight to keep humanity safe from the supernatural creatures of the world. Upon learning of his destiny and that he is the last of his kind, he has to protect every living soul from the sinister storybook characters that have infiltrated the real world.[3]
I’m not going to lie, I think I am going to like Grimm more,
but the hot blond doctor (not Oliva Wilde) from House is going to be the star
of Once Upon a Time…so I am on the fence until I see the actual shows. I
recommend you watch both and give me your opinions.
I love hero movies, but I am also digging this new twisted
fairly tales route that movies and TV are headed. There are rumors of some snow
white films being made. One of the directors possibly being Tim Burton. Way to
creep up Willy Wonka and make me dislike qualities of Alice in Wonderland. If
you really want to see an Alice in Wonderland masterpiece, Google “Alice the
SYFY mini Series”. Hands down, best “when Alice grows up and comes back to
wonderland” story out there. SYFY (regardless of the stupid rename) made
another awesome miniseries based on “what happened after Dorothy left in the
Wizard of Oz” called Tinman. SYFY is getting ready to premier a new mini series
in December based on Peterpan before he met Tinkerbelle called Neverland. I am
excited, minus Keria Nightly being Tinkerbelle. (Sorry fans of her, she just looks
like an ugly brutting man in women clothing.)
Well, I think I am done writing for now. I would love to
write more, but there is a guy sitting next to me at the Seattle public library
grunting every 10 seconds. I think he is mentally … not all there. I like
sitting at a desk and typing. At home, I have a bed and a TV dinner tray. It’s
not great for maintaining a proper posture as I type on the cursor moving key
board of my laptop. You have been a great audience.
If I had to give you something to ponder, it would be this: “Do
you feel like you know what you would need to do to create your perfect
reality, but it’s 1. Too hard or 2. You don’t quite know all the tiny steps
within steps to get you where you want to be? Or Both? I think I am both- Lost
and Lazy. What about you?
