Sanity is overrated

I've been rereading my journal a bit and it's crazy how you can be away from a place for so long and instantly remember what you were thinking when you wrote something. I think I just lost the spark of writing and fandom and even having the time to something creative. I've missed talking with everyone though. I have thought about starting a blog though to get those things back.

I have started to teach myself how to knit and I bought a new camera to get into photography a bit. I just need to be creative and expressive again.

I'm also going to an open casting for extras for the new OZ film this weekend. It would be fun if I get cast, I think.

oh what ever

I know I keep saying that I'm going to try and be on LJ more often and start working in Photoshop again and all that but real life is just so irritating right now that I don't have the energy. I'm hoping that I'll be able to get my own computer here in the next month or so and then maybe I'll be better about it.

So it would be Harry Potter that would get me to want to be on LJ again and opening Photoshop to make new things. It was the thing that got me involved with Livejournal in the first place and it brings back so many great memories. The trailer has me so excited and yet so sad. Can't wait.

I miss the days when life consisted of a mindless job and being involved in fandom stuff online. Life is just way to complicated now.

I have to get cracking on my Grad School application. I need to try and get in the summer session but if not than I hope I get accepted into the fall. Of course I have to get accepted at all, then the whole applying for financial aid bit.

Went and saw Shutter Island the other day. Really liked it. Very old school vibe to it and very beautiful in an atmospheric way. I did figure out the twist about half way through and I'm not the type of person who usually does figure these things out, so I was proud of my detective skills on that one.

Quiet round these parts

2010-02-06T04:24:43Z

Everything is still about the same here in my life. I go the visit the parents in Gulf Shores in one more week. So very excited. I get to spend an entire week doing nothing and being in the nice weather instead of the yucky snow. I really need a mental break, I've had way to many things on my mind lately and I'm sick of worrying and dwelling and all that.

So LOST was pretty awesome on Tuesday. I'm half sad that it's the last season but I'm also half thrilled that it's all going to be explained and we will finally know what's going on. I find this whole duel reality thing interesting. Of course they doing the same thing over on Fringe so I fear that I'll start becoming paranoid that there are multiple realities in real life and there are alternate me's out there living better or worse lives. Anyway, it was interesting to pick up on the differences, like Shannon not being on the plane, Desmond was on the plane, did Sun really not know English or was she lying, all that. I found the scene between Locke and Jack sort of sad because all I kept thinking was, "see how you two could have gotten along? What sort of awesomeness could you have achieved together if you hadn't been so stubborn and always believed that each one of you was right and neither could budge an inch?" Interesting that Jack's dad is just sort of missing in the other timeline. Also, the whole bit with Juliet saying she needed to tell Sawyer something important and then dying was so annoying that I couldn't even be sad about her dying. Over all pretty good start to the season.

99% sure I'm going to be applying to get my Masters in Museum Studies. Scary to be thinking of going back to school after all these years but I need to be doing something better with my life. I guess I'll worry about everything if I get in. :)

This old computer is too slow

2010-01-27T21:03:12Z

Time for catch up.

My Grandma passed away a few weeks ago, so I was away from a computer for almost a week. It was a long and tough few days but she was ill and couldn't remember any of us so for her sake it was really a blessing.

The new term at the college I work at has started so the bookstore has been really busy and then I just don't feel like posting on the computer so that's what I've been doing the past week or so. I seriously wonder how some people get into college. You're not in high school any more it's time to be self sufficient. I am here to help if you are having a hard time not to get your books and supplies for you without you even trying to find them. Also, if I tell you need something to check out or to leave your backpack in the cubbies by the door, don't argue with me, do it. I know the rules in the store and I'm not going to change them for you.

I'm like way out of fandom stuff so I don't even know what to write about as far as tv and stuff. Still working my way through Criminal Minds and have joined in the massive love of Matthew Gray Gubler. I have a little bit of Season 3 left and then 4 and what has aired of 5. I'll try and get back into taking about entertainment things again soon.

Real life

2010-01-10T01:19:58Z

I swear I haven't gone back on my promise to be involved in LJ more but my Grandma is ill and they think she only has a few more days to live so I haven't been in the most chatty mood the past few days. I'll keep you updated.

On one happier note, I finally watched the first season of Criminal Minds and love it. My mom is right once again about what I should watch. :)

Hope to be back for good

2010-01-02T17:46:43Z

So it's the new year and I realized that I have deeply neglected my LJ and my friends here as well. I think I just lost interest in most things internet the past few months but I want to renew that interest and come back to you all. I'm going to do my best to post and comment like I used to.

With that said, just finished watching Doctor Who: The End of Time and boy did I cry like a baby. Don't want to write much because honestly I can't put into words but sometimes I wish I didn't attach myself to fictional characters the way I do. I suppose it means someone is doing their job out there in entertainment land.

I got the Farscape: Complete Series set for christmas and got the boyfriend finally watching. So we are still in the middle of Season 1 and I'm in addiction mode again. I love not watching something for a year or so and then getting someone else watching it because it feels so new again. Such a great series.

Once again, I plan on being around more and getting in touch with you all again. Missed my LJ peeps.

Music and pretty boys

2009-10-13T20:54:03Z

Seriously in love the the Dead Man's Bones album. This is Ryan Gosling's band and the music is spooky and beautiful and haunting and old fashioned. It's quite unique and they have a childrens choir throughout most of it and harpsicords and other fun old timey instruments. :) Check it out if you haven't already.

Television is my child

I want to have Glee's babies. Need to make some icons too. That is all.

Sunday's True Blood

2009-08-19T02:40:15Z

I'm going to put this stuff under a cut for those of you who haven't seen the episode and who haven't read the books.

This episode was so sad. Eric and Godric broke my heart. To see Eric break down and cry and beg Godric not to kill himself was just so emotional. I can't even imagine being alive that long and then having your parent say I'm dying and it's from my own doing. To be separated from that one constant and powerful love is just horrible to think about. Poor, poor Eric. Also, Sookie staying with Godric and comforting him at the end was so beautiful. It was exactly what Godric was striving for, humans and vampires sharing moments together, existing together and caring for one another.

sasha_davidovna just reminded me about how super cute Jessica/Hoyt are. Hoyt doesn't get a lot of storyline in the books so it's nice to see him get some screen time on the show.

A little space for those who haven't read the books and don't want to be spoiled.

Now for some stuff that sort of pertains to the books. I read somewhere before the season started that they were going to combine the second and third book into this season and I thought with Bill's maker coming back (can never remember her name) I figured that was the third book stuff and we weren't going to get Alcide and all the fun that would entail. What I'm wondering is, since Bill sent her on her way and said she was dead to him maybe that's a set up for the third book stuff with her torturing him and trying to kill him. I hope so, I want Alcide and the werewolf situation. Who knows with this show though. Even though it's hard not to compare sometimes I really do love the show and I hope it stays on for a long time (as long as we have lot's of Eric).

Filmage

2009-08-15T17:08:58Z

Went and saw District 9 last night at the drive-in. Great movie! I was surprised at how emotional it was. The first movie in a long time that hasn't given everything away in the trailer so there were no preconceived notions going in and I had to go with it as it came. I totally recommend this movie to you all.

Seriously hate coming up with Subject Lines

2009-08-09T16:50:45Z

Went to see Julie & Julia yesterday with two women I used to work with. I always call them my other moms because they are super sweet and look out for me. The movie was lovely. I mean how can it not be when you have Amy Adams and Meryl Streep in a movie together? Of course I came out of the film extremely hungry. :) I had to go to the store after and buy a baguette and some cheese. Yum!

I'm completely addicted to Big Brother UK. I watch the US one as well but this one is so much better. For one thing I like having it on every night because I don't feel like they are editing everything out like they tend to do on the US one. Also, I like their competitions better and they fact that they don't do the whole head of household thing. So fun!

Was supposed to have the weekend to myself as the parents were going to visit my friends but mom had to go to my grandma's instead and dad stayed here with me. Haven't gotten anything done that I wanted to do. Grandma's back in the hospital. She's been forgetting a lot of stuff and falling easily, partly because she refuses to use a cane or walker. Haven't heard from my mom today so I'm not sure how she's doing.

Read something about Joss Whedon saying Angel could beat Edward Cullen and I it got me thinking, why does one have to be better than the other? I've always been into Vampire Mythology and read Dracula when I was in middle school. I love learning about the myths from all around the world and I guess I'm an equal opportunity Vampire lover. I happen to love Angel, Twilight, True Blood/the books it is based on, Ann Rice, all of that stuff. Let's just all get along. Every Vampire needs love. :)

This became a very long post. I guess I should write more often.

Do you hear that?

2009-08-01T08:30:03Z

Neil Gaiman and Michael Sheen in a twitter conversation. :) Such fun and yet I always feel like I'm a fly on the wall. They feel like my friends and yet not.

Alice in Wonderland Teaser Trailer

2009-07-22T19:56:49Z

So Very Excited!!

Potter and Torchwood, some good and some bad.

2009-07-17T03:24:42Z

So I've been off the social networking stuff lately, ie: Livejournal and Facebook, so I haven't really read what you lot have been saying about Half Blood Prince and Torchwood. I have a few thoughts on both and thought I would share. :)

So what the fuck was with Torchwood! I am so disappointed with that so called mini-series. After Ianto died I didn't even care how the thing turned out and only half watched the final episode. Also, Jack is not the Jack we know and love. Sure he has some dark stuff and angst, like many but him sacrificing his grandson was so out of character and then to go and be all "I don't care anymore and I don't care if I see you again" was wrong. I know a lot of people are saying "what else could he have done?" and "he made the hard decision" but I still think any other time he would have found another way. It was bad enough that we had to endure Owen and Tosh getting killed off last season (and I didn't even like Owen) but then we get that ball of crap. The bad thing is is that I would have loved it if the characters weren't destroyed. I liked the idea of the story and the social commentary of it but it wasn't the Torchwood that I've grown to love. It would have been one thing if it was the only bit of Torchwood we had, there had been no other seasons before this and it was a one off mini series, than I probably would be thinking it was amazing television but as it wasn't it just doesn't feel as if it goes with the rest of the series. On the one hand, if that's the end of the show at least it went out with a bang.

One the other hand I really liked Potter. I know a lot of people a disappointed with it but I thought they kept most of the important bits. I will say I wished they had shown the stuff about Riddle's parents because I think the whole parentage thing says a lot about who he is. I honestly haven't read the book in so long that I can't think of what was missing. I loved the scene with Hermione and Harry on the steps after she sees Ron and Lavender kissing. I was so happy they put the scene in where Snape and Dumbledore are talking about what Snape has to do and how he doesn't want to and the bit before Snape kills him and Dumbledore says "please". They always seem to leave the little but important bits out and this time they didn't. I know many people were upset with the ending but I liked it. I like the quietness of it, it made it all more personal to me and emotional. There will be a big enough fight and sadness in the next one that I kind of appreciate that we didn't have a big battle in the end. I thought Tom Felton has really brought a lot to Draco and did a fantastic job this time. I teared up a few times during the movie so I know I'll be a mess in the next one. Can't wait for it!

Stuff and things

2009-06-24T20:39:51Z

So life has been pretty uneventful lately. Haven't really had much to post about. My mom and I went and saw The Proposal last weekend and loved it. I haven't laughed that much in a movie in a long time. Go see it! Also, I did indeed watch Just My Luck simply to watch Chris PIne. I've also recently seen Bottle Shock which was pretty fantastic. Not sure he should ever grow his hair though. :)

Not sure if any of you have heard about the whole Perez Hilton, Will.i.Am debacle but FunnyorDie posted a video based on it that is pretty hilarious. Honestly even if you aren't in the know about the whole silly affair, it's still a pretty funny video. I don't even know much about it other than what I've read in passing headlines but Brekin Meyer does a great impression.

When did E! get to be so good?

2009-06-18T00:52:26Z

If you are also tired of seeing things about the ridiculous duo named Heidi and Spencer than go over and vote on E!'s website. They are asking people to vote and let them know if they should stop reporting on these two. Maybe if they stop than other websites and magazines will too. Honestly I think I am more disgusted by these two than I am Paris Hilton, and I really dislike Paris. Here's a link, www.eonline.com/uberblog/b129655_should_be_speidi-free_zone_you_make_call.html

2009-06-13T21:36:43Z

Ok, you know you've had a bit too much Star Trek, Zachary Quinto, and Chris Pine when your cursor slides over "iPhoto" and you read it as "iPinto". My brain is officially mush. :)

Awesome Star Trek Fanvid

2009-06-10T01:11:11Z

Last thing I'm going to post today that's Star Trek related but this Fanvid is so good I had to share it. Not only is it Star Trek but it uses Journey's song "Don't Stop Believin'" sung by the cast of Glee.

It's really good and I'm not even a big fanvid person.

It's a must see interview if you haven't yet. Nimoy is so funny. Loves it!

It's time to come clean...

2009-06-05T07:11:01Z

I think it's time I finally come clean and admit that I'm kinda obsessed with the Star Trek movie and Zachary Quinto too. Actually the only reason I continue to watch Heroes is because Sylar is my favorite character and I like watching ZQ play him. It's amazing how suddenly these things come on and how they just catch you unaware. :) I'm even thinking my layout might have to be changed to reflect my new state of mind. I used to watch the original Star Trek when I was little and I watched most of The Next Generation and a few of the other movies but I was never a hard core fan. Now I want to watch everything. It's just crazy. Oh well, it's been a while since I've had a good fandom to be a part of, even if it's just on the sidelines.

Minor Annoyance

2009-05-28T19:14:56Z

I was reading some things about the new season of True Blood and while I enjoy the show a lot, the way they seem like they aren't even following the books any more makes me a bit annoyed. Why buy the rights to a series with the idea of bring to the screen if you are going to change so many major plot points and characters? I've never been one that thinks book adaptations need to be exactly the same, I understand the differences between the written word and the visual image but I still like the essence of the story to be there.

I don't know, just something bothersome to me. I love the show and the books I just wish the show was a bit closer to the story. It's more the character changes that bother me.

Randomy Stuff

2009-05-27T01:14:32Z

Finally found all of Kath & Kim Australia to download. I've seen the first season but was having a hell of a time finding the other seasons. So happy!

Went and saw Night At the Museum 2 today. Movies like that just put me in a happy mood. Love Amy Adams as well. She's so fun and cute.

I really have to go to bed now because I have to be up early but I plan on discussing LOST with you all tomorrow. I thought I was a pretty good season finale and already can't wait for next year. Of course we had more questions but as long as it's all explained in the end I'm just happy being along for the ride. :)
