Look at me! Whee!

So I've decided that it's more fun to post at a blog that no one knows about. I can bitch and moan and such and no one will ever see it.

On that note, how wonderful was Veronica Mars last night???? It was totally old school VM. Even the lack of Logan/Veronica interaction didn't bother me. I was just too thrilled to see Corny! And Backup! And stupid, annoying girl from Hot Dogs! And snarky!Logan!!! Sigh. It was beautiful.

In other news, I HATE Gilmore Girls so much that even my Logan love can't withstand it. I have deleted my season pass. Yes. My season pass is gone. It is that bad. I still have a season pass for That 70s Show. (Actually, that is a complete lie. I keep my season passes nice and neat and orderly. But I do have one for ER.)

One last thing. I haven't slept yet tonight. It's 10 past 9 in the morning. I have to go to work for the first time in like two weeks or something. I'm going to pass out at noon, aren't I?

Stupid boys

I, being the wonderful little sister that I am, called my brother to wish him happy birthday. Very sweet, yes? Especially considering the fact that he hasn't remembered my birthday since we were living under the same roof. So we chit chat a bit. Blah blah blah school. Blah blah blah compy. Blah blah blah iPod. Blah blah blah give me back my Kill Bill Vol. 1 cd. Blah blah blah our family is evil and maladjusted and all should go rot in hell. Brother dear is so pleasant. So as I'm saying goodbye, because I really needed to finish up my paper, he starts in on politics. Damn him. I called him the black sheep of the family, jokingly of course, and he says, well, good. So we argue for the next ten minutes and he accuses me of parroting Dad, The NY Times, etc. I hate him.

I suck

I really do. I don't know why. I just do. Errr. And no therapy for three fucking weeks. Damn insurance fraud scheme thingys that take three weeks to get approved for thirty sessions when they claim it's twenty and then have to give me six first eventhough the paper work was done like six weeks ago to get me approved for more. GOD DAMMIT! I want therapy! And maybe more drugs.

A rose by any other name

So I had some time to kill (I have no clue why, but The Phantom Tollbooth just popped into my head. I haven't thought of that book in years, and it's not like I never use "kill" and associate it with "time", so, huh.) so I went over to the computer lab, but it's been a while since I've used it, so I had forgotten my login name. (It's one of those annoying college things where they give you some combination of your first name and last name with some numbers tacked on, and I can never remember if it's four letters of my last name, or five. It turns out it's six.) So I went to the help desk to see if they could help me. I explained that I had forgotten my login, so could she please help me retrieve it. She asks, "Do you remember the password?" Now, here is where I made a mistake. I should have just said, "Yes," because even if it isn't the one I was trying, there is a finite number of other possibilities (11, I counted). Instead we go through this whole thing where she tries to tell me I need to be issued a new password which will take 3-5 days. And I try to explain to her that I don't need a new password, and I usually don't have time to stop in the lab, so if I can't use it today, I don't want it. It went back and forth for a couple minutes until she understood, "Oh, you just want to varify what your login is!" Yes. Very good. Of course, it was a different one than I was trying and my password was correct.

The point here is, I realized, it would be very easy for someone to steal my identity. As I said, there are 11 possible passwords. One is my short and sweet one that I use for several forums and Yahoo! games, but nothing else, because everything now adays requires at least 5 characters. (Yahoo does, too, but I got my account a LONG time ago.) So if I really don't care if anyone hacked in, and if I'm allowed, I use that one. Then there is the 5 character one which I use, well, now that I think about it, I really only use it for my Snapfish account. But it's still there as a possibility if I can't figure out my password. I can also do that one in 1337 speak, if numbers are required. Then there is the one I use the most. Six characters works for most things. (Just not PayPal and my bank account, I think.) And that one I do in regular and 1337 speak. The last one is v v long and can also be used in 1337 speak. And that's only 7. Hmm... Oh, right. There's one more that I only have as one thing, since it's also 6 characters. The only reason I used it is because someone scared me into changing my password. Which really pissed me off, because I had my short and sweet password on my AIM account until someone started harassing my friends. I liked that I had my sn for so long I only had 4 characters in my password. So that's 8. Maybe I counted wrong before? I dunno.

Err, I haven't even gotten to the point I was going to make and I have to go to the shrink. AFK.

Back.

Anyway, I have one nick that I use for everything. So it's always just a matter of figuring out which password I used. The problem with this is I am the only person on the internet with my nick. (Well, there may be one other. I'll explain.) So if you google my nick, EVERYTHING is stuff I have said in various forums. Or commented on various blogs. (The one that might not be mine is from like two years before I thought to google my nick, so the fact that I don't recognize the site doesn't necessarily mean anything. The comment is even something I would say. BUT the person pretending to be me said "your" instead of "you're". THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD DO THAT! I am a huge stickler for stupid stuff like that. Just TRY to say "anyways" in my presence. I dare you.

The result of this is my mother figured out that she could find out everything I've been saying. Normally this wouldn't bother me. But I've been thinking about it more recently and I don't want her to see some of the stuff. Not because it's bad. Just because it's embarrassing. (Yes, I have commented on WB forums. You can shoot me now.) Like this blog. I normally would've been signing it with my nick, but I quickly decided that JUST MIGHT not be such a good idea. So I have decided I must get a new nick for all forums other than the one or two I am currently active on. I will leave my original nick for sign in stuff to various different things. But anything I have to comment on, I will now be known as.... um..... Did I mention the other reason I have the same nick I had in 1998? Because I SUCK at coming up with names. I hate it. Oh, well. Maybe.................

Obligatory Hunter S. Thompson Post

I don't mean to sound facetious, because I was very surprised and saddened to hear of his death. It's just, EVERYONE is posting about it today. So I felt it necessary to mourn him in my blog, too.

He was a great, crazy writer. I guess he was a bit crazier than some of us supposed. Of course, he really couldn't have died in any fashion other than suicide or od'ing. Living till ninety and dying of old age just wouldn't have fit.

So, now, a moment of silence.

Insane?

Why do I smell dog? I have no dog. I haven't been in contact with a dog since Novemberish. There has never been a dog anywhere near my bed or my room or my apartment. So why do I smell dog?

It's not on anything, because I have smelled everything near me and it all smells like laundry detergent. It's not me or my hair or anything I'm wearing. It's just sort of lingering in the air. Maybe I'm going insane. (Going?)

T is away until Monday. And next weekend she will be gone, too. And I can't go away then, because I have plans. I should see if E wants to stay over here or something. Eventhough she lives right across from the W's... But I don't want to stay there. Maybe S and E will come. I just don't want to do absolutely nothing next week.

Sha sha. I love this song.

BORED

I am so bored. I have nothing to do. Except all that shit I'm supposed to be doing right now. What? Huh?

Ergh. I want Down On Haley, is that such a crime? Why does LimeWire have only two copies of it? (Oh, well that might be a crime...) I even managed to get 73% of it. But can I get the remaining 27%? Hell, no! That would be ridiculous. You want to listen to a WHOLE song? No, no, no. We don't do that here. If this takes much longer I may have to break down and *gasp* BUY the song. Oh, nevermind. It just finished itself. It's a miracle! Now I must to get some Atom & His Package. I love them.

I really need some more memory. My only dilemma is the whole only one available slot or port or whatever it is called. So if I spend $50ish to upgrade to 512 mb (see, I'm SOOOOO slow) it will be $50ish down the drain if I decide I want to upgrade some more. So it makes most sense to max it out, right? But that would cost $350ish. BUT it would also mean I would have 1256 mb. Lappy would FLY. Seriously. At all times she would be hovering above the ground, or lap, or whatever surface a NORMAL computer would be sitting on at the time. So I'm thinking it would prob be worth the $350ish. Sigh. If only I had money to spend. Instead I have to spend Daddy's money and he's jealous enough that I have a Mac and he has a Toshiba. (*Snicker*) So he won't want to make my Lappy AWESOME. Cuz then he might be forced to go buy one. Of course, right now, with a student id, which we have plenty of, you can get one for $899. Nice I say. R should get one so that we can have EVEN MORE iBooks lying around when we go to the fam up in the Michigan. Last time I was there, there was mine, my cousins' (at least 2, maybe 3), my uncle's, my aunt's sister's, my aunt's, and a couple others for good measure. There were only about three that were 12 inch iBook G4s. My aunt has a 15 inch I think. And my unlce has a Power Book. And my aunt's sister has a huge something or other. I don't think it's G4, though. But I think the rest of us were 12 inch.

See, this is why I have a blog. So I can ramble on and on mindlessly to waste time during the dark hours between updates on various things I read and ER.

Rambling

Well, I finally got around to watching the trailer. Dammit. I'm gonna have to see it, won't I? I have so many objections to it, but it still looks like it's going to be good. Would it have been SO hard to cast a Brit as Ford Prefect? Or at least someone like Don Cheadle, who can fake it? Everybody knows that Paul Bettany is the PERFECT Ford Prefect. Why couldn't they get him? I doubt they even tried.

So I suppose you can make the case that Ford is an alien, therefore why should he have a British accent any more than any other accent. (The obvious answer is because he spent most of his ten years on Earth in the UK.) But how can anyone say that about Trillian? She is British. And Zaphod hangs out with a whole bunch of Brits, so don't you think he would've picked up the accent? Or, wouldn't the babble fish translate everything into your accent?

What I can't complain about is Arthur Dent. He is so perfect. They cast the guy from Love Actually who was a stand in for a porno. Martin Freeman. But Mos Def as Ford? And Sam Rockwell as Zaphod? (I mean, I can totally appreciate him for some of his work, like Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, but HE IS SO WRONG FOR ZAPHOD!!!) And Zooey Deschanel as Trillian? And isn't it slightly suspect that EVERY other cast member (with the exception of John Malkovich) is British?? (Also, is it just me, or is a disproportionate amount of the cast also in the Harry Potter movies? (Which, by the way, managed to keep everybody British!) I mean, is there like a small pool of British actors to choose from, and Harry Potter has so many characters that they needed them all? Love Actually also makes a nice showing, with Martin Freeman, Bill Nighy, and Alan Rickman (also in Harry Potter). It's just something to ponder.)

Jason Statham would've made a nice a good Zaphod, I think. A much different one than Sam Rockwell is playing him as, but more what I imagined him as. But I suppose he hasn't broken in to comedy, yet. Give it time, give it time. Or my new favorite Brit, Hugh Laurie (Dr. House from "House"). He is without question the hottest man over forty on tv today. The hottest man over thirty is Goran Visnjic (Luka from "ER"). Speaking of ER, Noah Wyle is in talks about staying on for another season. Yay! Now we just have to get Carter a good girlfriend. Not this social worker girl. I don't like her. But he needs to find someone and settle down. I have finally resigned myself to the fact that he and Abby are never getting back together, and it would just be weird if they did. That ship has sailed. Also, Abby and the med student? I want Shane West to see some action. I mean there's the Neela possibility, but at the beginning of the season, I really felt Abby was gonna get together with him. Besides, Neela and Gallant are sort of an item. You know, long distance relationship type thing. I know he's going to be in tonight's episode, but I wonder if this means he is back. I hope he is, I like Gallant.

Anyway, I just got notice that I owe $2400 in rent. (I don't.) Must to go straighten that out.
