wow. what a Year.

So, it's been awhile since I've posted anything. A LOOOOONG while. And there has been semi-good reason for it.

First and probably most important, they did the unthinkable.

I blogged for DAYS about TPTB not killing off Elizabeth Mitchell's character on Lost, and what did they do on the season finale? They dropped her down a 60 ft. well, then, when she actually "survived" the fall, she blew up a hydrogen bomb with a rock. Yeah, that's right. I said it. They wrote it. She fell 60 feet onto broken metal and the ground, survived, only to blow herself up with a hydrogen bomb. I'm going to let you sit there for a minute and let that all sink in...


Waiting.


Waiting.


Ok, you done? I was beyond pissed. I was cussing, and screaming, and crying, and cussing somemore that I couldn't even believe it. And yes, I get VERY attached to my characters and TV shows. Don't judge.

Anyways, Elizabeth Mitchell is supposedly going to still be in season 6 (the final season) but only for a couple episodes. I'm still pissed, and if she's only in the first three episodes of the season, then I'll probably only watch the first three episodes of Lost this season. Still. Mad.

On a better note for Elizabeth Mitchell...

Elizabeth is staring in a new show on abc called V. It's a take-off/remake of the original V series. I probably wouldn't have started watching had a Elizabeth Mitchell not been in it, but it's actually really good, and not just because Elizabeth is in it. It's kind of exciting and interesting. These aliens are trying to take over the planet but they look just like humans so you can't tell whose good and whose bad. Plus, there are some "v's" who are good and are trying to help the humans fight the bad v's. It sounds corny and lame, but it's actually pretty good. They only showed 4 episodes during the Fall but they're resuming it again in February. Looking forward to it.

Joblessness and such.

Last time I blogged I had a job. Now, I don't. Well, I do, but it's seasonal and ends in a week. I worked on a reality show over the summer and that was a lot of fun, but haven't really done any production stuff since. I did work the Falcons game as a parab operator, which was REALLY cool, but other than that still looking for stuff. The Falcons game was my first NFL I attended and the first time I had been to the Georgia Dome. It was an awesome experience. PLUS, I got tackled by one of the players and it was caught on national television. My 15 minutes of fame.

Grey's Anatomy and all it's glory.

Grey's Anatomy is my newest renewed addiction. I've always been a Grey's fan, but the past two seasons have taken it to a whole nother level. Yes, I said nother. They have introduced one of the greatest television couples of all time. Callie and Arizona, better known as by fans as Calzona. Yes, they are a lesbian couple. And yes, they are fantastic. There really aren't words to describe my love for this couple. There probably are words, but I don't know them and probably wouldn't be able to spell them anyways. This show, and particularly this couple, have changed my life. They gave me something to look forward to every week when I had absolutely nothing. I'm not sure what I would have done without Grey's coming on every Thursday. The last episode aired the week before Thanksgiving, and it wasn't even a very good one, so I've been watching reruns to try to get me to January 14th, when Grey's and Calzona, returns. Still counting the days...

Doing my own thing.

In my free time, which has been a lot more than I like seeing as how I have no real job, has been spent writing. I'm writing my first original screenplay. I really like it a lot, but at the current moment it's waaaaaay too long for a screenplay, so I'm thinking of making it into a book. I'm not really a book writer though. I don't even like books. I'd much rather watch a movie than read a book, but maybe that will change. Who knows.

And everything else...

Other than that, life hasn't been much. Seen some good movies, including Avatar in 3-D, by James Cameron. He's one of my favorite directors ever, at least in this generation. Alfred Hitchcock being the other one. One of my all time favorite movies is The Abyss, also by Cameron, and then he went and made this movie and it's just... magical. No other words really.

But I've felt I've neglected this blog, not that anybody reads it or anything, so I felt the need to come back. Maybe writing this will help.

To the new year.

Here's to 2010 being better than 2009.

Until tomorrow,
Peace.

ps - tomorrow, I talk about my life changing cross-country road trip. excited.

i really need to do this more Often

So, once again, I've been slacking on my blogger duties. It's a good thing no one really reads them, or I would feel bad. I've actually just been really busy lately. The past two weeks I've been helping friends with their student projects at school. And by student projects I mean, 5-10 min short films. Don't underestimate the power of a student project. Anyways, I've been doing that so that's kept me kinda busy, and when I wasn't doing that, I was at work. I hate work. But I only got 2 months left before I have to leave and find something else. woopee.

Dell computers and the shitty virus software that comes with them.

I've had my tell just under 3 years now, and I've had a total of 4 viruses since. WTF, Dell? Or should I say, WTF, McAfee? McAfee Virus protection can shove it! It hasn't protected me once against these viruses and it sucks. Four times I've had to reset my computer to factory settings which means losing all my files. Luckily the last two times, I've had most, not all, of my files backed up somewhere. It still really sucks though even if you do have the files backed up. What a pain in the ass. WTF, Dell and McAfee?! WTF?

Prison Break misfortune...

So, as excited as I was about Prison Break returning I have yet to actually get to sit down and watch an episode. Who's pissed? I am. For the first episode, I was at work and had to watch it with these two really, really, annoying people who wouldn't shut the F*** up! It was so annoying! And to top it off they didn't speak very good english so they kept repeating things over and over again. I can't even describe how annoying it was. So, needless-to-say, I didn't actually get to watch it. I also thought the episode started at 8pm, but it actually started at 9pm. So I naturally assumed that the second episode would start at 9pm, but no, it started at 8pm, so I missed it that one too. I'm still a little bitter about the whole situation.

Lost

Lost was a "special episode" last week, which just means it was a recap of everything we already knew. Boring. It also means, we didn't get to see Elizabeth Mitchell again. Extremely boring. But, this week's episode is the 100th episode of the series and I am guarenteed to see Elizabeth in this episode. I'm so excited. I saw a clip with her and Saywer, and they were kind of arguing so I'm a little nervous, but I think I should be okay. Also, they keep saying that the major character that's going to die is a "majorly major" character. Now, as far as I'm concerned, Juliet is not that major of a character. I mean, she only joined in season 3, and people still don't like/trust her, so for some reason I just don't think she's "major" enough to be the one killed off. Or at least not the only one. And I did already find out who one of the people was that's going to be killed off, and if that's the only person then, I wouldn't be upset. But for some reason, I don't think they will be the only one...

Table for 12 is better than Jon and Kate: Plus 8

Table for 12 is TLC's new big family reality show, and it is so good. I can't even watch Jon and Kate anymore because of it. The parents are so much cooler than Jon and Kate, well at least Kate. I hate Kate Gosselin. I always have, she was the number one reason for me not liking the show. I still watched it, but it was so hard because I just could not stand Kate. But now, I can't even watch it anymore period. After seeing how Betty and Eric Hayes treat each other, and their children, I have so much more respect for them than the Gosselins. The Gosselin kids are still cute, except for Mady, but I feel like the way they grew up, on camera, is making them spoiled and bratty. Maybe that's just me though. But I'm definitely all for the Hayes family, all 12 of them!

Crushes

A crush can be the most excruciating pain in the world. When you have that crush, and you know nothing is going to happen but you have no choice but to hang around that person, it sucks. It sucks big. Why must we be tortured so?

Until tomorrow.
Peace

prison break is coming back and More!

I'm so excited to see Prison Break coming back to television. The only downside is it will only be back for 5 episodes before they take it off the air for good. Prison Break started out as a really good show. It was fresh, and new, and hadn't really been done in the same way before. The problem was, you can only try to break out of a prison for so long before you 1) fail, or 2) break out. And once you break out, like they did in the show, then what do you do? I think the writers soon figured out they had a huge problem on their hands once their main characters broke out of the first prison. Yes, they've broken out of more than one. That's how desperate they got. But, I personally didn't mind the writers block. The new twists and stories added a little something to the show and allowed for new characters to be introduced and for old ones, that we didn't like, to go away. One of my favorite new characters that was introduced last season was Sofia Lugo, played by Danay Garcia. They didn't really give her character much to do, but she was smokin' hot. I mean one-of-the-most-beautiful-people-I've-ever-seen, hot. What really pissed me off during this current, and final, season was the way they just eliminated Danay's character. They acted like she never even existed. No name mention, no cameo, nothing. And that more than anything pisses me off, in any show or movie, no matter what. I'm a huge sucker for storylines. I get very, very involved with my stories and with my characters, so to just take out a character without any sort of closure is by far my #1 pet peeve in tv and movies. That and killing off main characters, especially females. But, from what I hear, they are bringing Sofia back for the final episodes, and as long as they don't kill her off, I am BEYOND happy! I can't wait!! Prison Break, Friday on FOX, 8pm.

Lost

Elizabeth Mitchell, Juliet, wasn't in this past week's episode of Lost. The entire episode focused on Ben. I don't personally feel like we learned anything new, but it was still an okay episode. Next week though, Juliet, and the rest of the characters, do return, and I have a feeling we might see on of them in a body bag. My guess is Daniel, so I won't be too terribly upset, but the episode focuses on Miles and his ability to talk to the dead. Should be interesting.

How bout them Braves!

The Atlanta Braves are 5-1 to start the season, which is really, really good for them. The starting pitching has been outstanding, and the bats have been great, too. The Braves hit a home run in the first inning of their first three games to start the season. The team would have been 6-0 if it hadn't been for their sorry bullpen that blew a 7 run lead. It really was one of the most depressing things I've even seen in baseball. But, the Braves moved on and ended up sweeping the Washington Nationals at home. Can't wait for the rest of the season and it's only just begun!

Slumdog Millionaire

I bought Slumdog Millionaire last week. Watch it. Buy it. Love it. That's all I really have to say.

Until tomorrow.

georgia weather Sucks

The weather in Georgia is absolutely ridiculous. I mean really. On Monday it can be 75 degrees and sunny, and then on Tuesday it will be snowing. Seriously. I don't even have the luxury of making that up. It really happens that way. It's horrible. Georgia has the worst weather ever. It never knows what season it wants to be. One you're sunbathing, the next you're pulling out your winter coat. And what sucks even more is the constant thermostat changing. Does Georgia weather realize how expensive it is to keep turning the heat on and off? I'll tell it. Hella expensive! Wtf, Georgia. WTF?

ER

ER ended its 15 year run on NBC last week. It was bittersweet. And in my own opinion it was about 8 years too late. ER was one of my favorite shows of all time back in the day. I was a religious watcher. Never, EVER, missed an episode. And if I did, I cried. I was that in to it. I loved it. I started watching somewhere in the middle of the first season. One of the episodes I first remember watching live was "Love's Labor Lost," where Mark Greene misdiagnosed a pregnant woman, who ended up dying after giving birth to her first child. It was such a powerful episode.

ER was my first real introduction to George Clooney. I remember thinking, "who is THAT?!" He was the finest man I think I had ever seen, and still probably holds true to this day. I fell in love with George that day. I remember watching the episode "Hell and High Water" during the second season. Clooney's character, Doug Ross, was about to be fired from his job when he ends up saving this boy from a storm drain. It was such an amazing episode. I remember holding my breath and everything. It was so good. And I'm pretty sure that was the first episode of the series where they went outside the hospital for an episode. It was just so good. Clooney should have definitely, without question, won an award for that episode.

Clooney left ER during season 5. Julianna Margulies, who played Carol Hathaway, left in season 6, and ER was never the same. They kept bringing in all these new characters to try to '"replace" the old ones, but it was just impossible. Seasons 7 and 8 weren't too bad, but once they killed off Mark Greene in the middle of season 8, the show really started to go downhill. The only character/actor to be in all 15 seasons, besides the nurses, was Carter, played by Noah Wyle, and even he went on hiatus for the last 2 seasons.

As much as I loved it, I was glad to see it end. And what made it even better was they brought back a lot (A LOT) of the old characters in the last season, even the ones who died. It was a flashback, chill. Of all the characters that left and came back for the last season, there was: George Clooney, Julianna Margulies, Anthony Edwards, Noah Wyle, Sherry Stringfield, Eriq La Salle, Alex Kingston, Laura Innes, and Shane West. Not bad.

Want to give a little shout out to all the nurses/EMT characters/actors that were also there from the beginning: Laura Ceron, Deezer D, Yvette Freeman, Emily Wagner, Lynn Henderson, Abraham Benrubi, Lily Mariye, Montae Russell, Ellen Crawford, and Dinah Lenney. Some honorable mentions are: William H. Macy, Amy Aquino, Connie Marie Brazelton, Troy Evans, John Aylward, Demetrius Navarro, and Bellina Logan.

ER had a great run. But I'm glad its over.

Lost

There has been some talk that two major characters will die on Lost by the end of the season. The producers/writers/TPTB, have said that it will be characters that are in love with other characters on the show, and also characters that we, the audience, like.

Now. If one of the characters is Elizabeth Mitchell, I'm going to have to fight someone. But here is my theory... Elizabeth's character, Juliet, is not a character that too many fans are attached to. When she first appeared everyone, except me, hated her, but now people are "growing" to like her. And now that she is with Sawyer, I think more and more people are beginning to like her, except for maybe the Kate/Sawyer shippers. But because of this, I don't think they would kill her off. Plus, she hasn't really served her/a purpose yet as a character. She's been on since the beginning of season 3, and has yet to really "do" anything. In other words, they had to bring her character on for a reason, and so far, there hasn't really been one, or else why bring her character on at all? My only other worry about them killing off Juliet is her name. The producers, or someone, has said that her character is named after the character from Romeo and Juliet. Now, unless there is some other Romeo and Juliet that I don't know about, that Juliet kills herself. Wtf, producers. WTF? I also have yet to see the connection between the two Juliets, as well. Supposedly, the creators don't do anything unless there is a reason, so if they specifically named her Juliet for a reason, what is it? And they've said that Juliet will be in the last season, but that doesn't mean they can kill her, and then magically bring her back like they've done with some other characters. That doesn't count. All I know is they better not kill her off. I mean it.

I think that's all for now. I've rambled enough.

Until tomorrow.

Peace

slow Week

Don't really have much to say since the last blog. Just a few notes.

Lost

Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) is still alive. And that's all that really matters.

Until tomorrow.
Peace

i hate american Idol

This season of Bones is being aired on Thursday nights at 8pm on FOX, as opposed to last year when it aired on Mondays. The only problem is FOX likes to air American Idol at that same time. Now, how in the WORLD does a network air two programs at ONCE?! The answer: they don't. Instead, they boot Bones off the air every other week so that lame ass American Idol can be on instead. WTF?! It pisses me off so much that they boot one program off so that another "better" one can be on instead. It's not even a better show, it just happens to have more ratings... supposedly. I just can't even get over it. Pissed.

Sickness and the power of OTCs

I was pretty sick most of the weekend which sucked. Thursday night I was so sick. I had a hard time breathing, plus I had a fever. And for those that know me, I don't do doctors, so I was not about to go to the doctor. Instead, I popped a Pepcid and some Motrin, let them settle and then hit the bed around 5am Friday morning. It pretty much sucked Friday too, because I had to go to work and we had so much stuff we had to do, that I don't think it helped me much. Then Saturday morning I was helping a friend with auditions and still felt pretty crappy but made it through. What can I say? I'm a trooper. I'm better now, still get headaches off and on, but that's nothing new to me. But I always say, there's nothing that can't be fixed with the proper amount of OTCs (over-the-counter drugs), certain diseases and ailments excluded, of course.

Footloose Remake

Some dumbasses with a lot of money decided they wanted to remake the classic movie Footloose, with none-other-than, Zack Efron. When I heard they were remaking the movie to begin with I was pissed, but when I heard Efron was going to be the leading man, I was livid to no extent. But... apparently Zack Efron has decided he no longer wants to do "teen musicals." Can I get a "Hallelujah!!" The whole movie relied on whether Zack Efron was going to be in it, so hopefully that means they'll scrap the idea all together. We can only hope.

Remaking Footloose is like remaking The Sound of Music or It's a Wonderful Life. You don't remake those movies! Period.

People who don't respond to messages and emails...

I don't think there is really much to say to this except, wtf? Respond to your messages. People took the time to write them to you, the least you could do is take 2 seconds to say something (anything) back. Think about it.

I guess that's all for now.

Until tomorrow.
Peace

all that good Stuff

So, it's been a week since my last blog, but that's because I've been super busy since then. But I got some time now, especially since I can't sleep, to blog, so here I am.

Side note: I am currently listening to one of my favorite songs as I type this. It's "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher" by Jackie Wilson. This song puts me in the best mood no matter what's going on around me. It's been my song of the week a couple times now. It's just a really great song! Love it.

Spring Break

I spent my Spring Break in LA, as we know, and it was just awesome. I loved it. I loved just hanging out with my friends, not having to worry about anything or do anything. It was so much fun. Got to see a couple more celebs while I was out there too. The biggest was probably Adam Sandler. We saw him at this restaurant called Barney's Beanery. It was a really good restaurant, too. And our waitress was really cute. But that's not why it was so good, it just was. It was a fun environment. What was really cool was the tables had all these pictures of celebrities taken out of magazines and stuff. And the absolutely freaky thing was that out of all the places for me to sit at the table, was that I sat down and right where I was sitting was a huge picture of Debra Messing. Now, that's only important for the people who know my story with Debra Messing. It was so funny because I didn't even realize it was her when I sat down. It took me about 15 minutes before I even realized she was there. Freaky. I think Deb is stalking me...

Overall, it was just a great Spring Break. Really glad I got to go.

The L Word

I didn't get a chance to talk about the season finale of The L Word yet. There's really not much to say. It sucked just like the rest of the season. We still don't know who killed Jenny, but we do know that Alice is the one who gets stuck with it because we know that Leisha Hailey is getting a spin-off where she goes to prison for killing Jenny. WTF? I still can't believe that... Anyways, the semi-good news is that Tasha and Alice are still together, we think. It's not really made clear that they stay together, but since Alice is going to jail, I don't see much of a future there.

The only thing I liked about the finale was the very end when all the characters start walking into the police station. They start out looking very sad, and upset, but then they start smiling. I loved that they were smiling because it looked like they all knew something and that none of them was going to give up the others. It also made it seem like they really weren't that upset about Jenny being dying, which I also liked because none of them had a reason to care that she was gone. The only thing that F'ed up that scene was that they showed Jenny walking in with them at the end. Hello?!! She's suppose to be dead! It ruined what I thought was the only good part of the whole episode. So, when I think about the ending I just picture it without Jenny. The way it should have been.

We were also told during the season that Carmen (Sarah Shahi) would be appearing in the final episode, and we (the remaining fans) got really excited. We didn't know, however, that 1) it would only be for 5 seconds, 2) that it would be via recorded video segment, and 3) that we wouldn't even get to hear what she was saying because the characters were talking over her part. Again, WTF?

It was just, overall, a hugely disappointing ending to a really good show. Sad it had to go out like that.

Nastaha Richardson

Yesterday, the wonderfully talented and beautiful actress, Natasha Richardson died. I couldn't believe it, and still can't. Three days ago she was taking ski lessons and fell, and hit her head. She was fine to begin with, but an hour later complained of a headache. She was considered brain dead, and her family pulled the life support plug, and she died a day later. It's just so sad and tragic for something like this to happen. She was only 45. One of the first movies I saw her in was Nell. I remember her and Liam Neeson, and I remembered how much I loved both of their characters, especially since they ended up together in the end. They got married in real life shortly after, and I was so excited for them. Next time I saw her was in The Parent Trap, the remake. I love that movie, and especially her in it. I loved her character. She did such a good job in that movie. She was also in Maid In Manhattan, another favorite. It's going to be so hard to watch any of these movies now. It's just so hard to believe. She will be deeply, deeply missed.

Lost

Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet) is still alive. That's really all that matters. Done.

Portia De Rossi

Portia De Rossi has been one of the loves of my life since I first saw her 10 years ago on Ally McBeal. I've been watching her ever since. I knew her before anyone else. And the fact that she's Australian doesn't hurt at all, either. Portia was on Ellen Monday. Like as a guest, not just there. It was really cute to see them together, and see Ellen interview her wife. The whole segment just made me love Portia even more. She was on the show because Portia has a new tv show that just aired last night (Wednesday). It's a dark comedy, I guess you call it. She plays a character named Veronica, the boss at some company that makes things. I thought it was pretty good. It might take others a few episodes to like it though, but of course, I'm completely and honestly biased on the matter, so it doesn't really matter what I actually think. :) I'll watch anything with Portia, good or bad.

The show airs Wednesday nights at 8:30pm on ABC. (Right before Lost and Elizabeth Mitchell.) Bonus.

The Little Things

I just wanted to say how funny I find it that, now that I've gradutated, there are so many people that want my help. I guess I've been dubbed the "Sound Person," which is cool and all, but now I'm constantly being asked by people to help them on their projects. I don't remember being asked for this much help when I was actually in school. I'm not complaining or anything, I just find it very interesting, and funny. Am I the only person that knows how to do sound? And if so, how sad is that? And it makes me wonder, too, was I their first choice to help, or the last resort since no one else could do it? I just wonder sometimes, ya know...?

I guess that's all I got for now.

Until tomorrow.
Peace
