08/19/2007: "Baby crows"I may have to watch Bionic Woman. I was a big fan of the original TV show even though I was a little kid and really had no idea what was going on. I think I liked it when she jumped and stuff. I just waited for that and spaced out everything else. And is that the one where it made that certain 'boiyoiyoing' music right before she jumped or did something bionic? Or was that the 6 million dollar man? Anyway! I had a Bionic Woman Barbie doll. Whoop! Her leg opened up and you could see computer parts. Coooool. Ahhhhh!
I hate new TV shows. They take up so much time. Before the bad ones get weeded out, I mean. It's too hard to tell which ones are bad from the ads. There are ones that don't interest me. Mostly those are ones based on reality. I can go to work or chat with my pals if I want reality. Barf. Or, God forbid, read the news. Escapism! That's what I'm into. Science fiction/fantasy. I like Men in Trees and Scrubs. Those are based on reality. Ha!
I once saw some men in trees, cutting branches or whatever, with an orange sign beneath them that said "Men Working". I thought, "Close enough! Men in Trees! Muahahahahahaaaa!" Yes, funny only to me.
I saw some baby crows the other day. At least I think that's what they were. They looked just like crows but much smaller. Maybe they are wangdoodles or some other creature that I just don't know about, but they acted like crows too. They liked to hop and run instead of fly. So cute. One of them took off across the parking lot running on its little legs. Ahhh! It reminded me of The Partridge Family, with the.... partridges. You know, walking. Pfft. Okay!
Yeah, I almost forgot the name of those birds on The PARTRIDGE Family. Geesh. !
Man, it's dark outside. It's 3 in the afternoon. Lighten up! Wasn't I just the other day complaining it was too sunny? Bah! Hey, I got my flash drives in the mail. Guess what!?? They don't work. My computer can see them and all, but it won't let me open them. Or format them, which it seems obsessed with doing. I decided I'm just going to save all my stuff to CDs. I have to get this book finished, come Hell or high water, so I'm just going to have to improvise. When things like this happen, do you think it's the Universe's way of telling you to stop doing what you're doing? Or do you think it's the Universe's way of making you work through obstacles so you can see for yourself how devoted you are to making something happen? I never can tell! There are people who say follow the path of least resistance, cuz that's where you're supposed to be. Then there are people who put people down for following the path of least resistance, saying they are lazy and floating through life. What?! Make up your minds!
Easy tends to win out over difficult a lot though, doesn't it? Cuz it's... duh... easy. Easy like only having 5 good work outfits because I don't care about looking cute. I think of it as my uniform. So maybe easy is like that. It's for the stuff that doesn't matter. And for the stuff that does matter, you go the best way, whether it's easy or difficult. What do you think? Hmmm. Who knew I had this on my mind? But, whatever. I'm philosophical cuz it's dark outside. Woohoo.
Bionic woman. You know what's funny? When people are asked what super power they would have if they could and they say, "I don't know, that's a good question." Whatever. I totally know what super power I would have. Super strength. This is a no brainer for me. Being some kind of bullet proof along with that would be good. Invincible and strong. Okay, how weird. But really! So many things in my life could have been avoided if I could have picked a man up and thrown him at the wall. YEAH. No offense to men in general. I'm sure most of you are very nice. But some of you would now be at the bottom of a cliff or thrown through a window or something if I had super powers. And then I'm sure I'd feel bad no matter how much I thought they deserved it in the moment. Baah! Still, even enough super strength to stop someone and say, "Mm, I don't think so." HA!
Wow. Angry.
<--there's the angry smilie. Pretty pissy, I guess.It is really stormy and windy outside now. I swear I couldn't hear the wind before. Now it's howling. Damn. I hope it doesn't jolt the power out before I have a chance to post this. I'm feeling all woman powery lately. Angry. Whatever. Trying to straighten things out in my life. Oo, sirens are added to the howling wind and stormy sounds. A night for drama. Interesting. Thunder. And now the sound of rain. Gray skies. No wonder I'm in a good mood. Such a weirdo.
Oooohhhhh, if I had the time and technology I would do so many things. The latest video idea has been put on hold. My book has not been worked on because of data storage issues. I should stop being so angry. It's just a transition phase. It won't last forever.
Now the rain is pounding.
My eyes hurt. I don't know why. Too much staring at the computer screen. Moody. Here come Smallville spoilers from 2 years ago. Beware if you're as behind as I am. I can't believe they killed off Jonathan Kent! I was so bummed out. NOooooooo! I kept expecting it to be a dream or for Clark to go bargain with Jor-El like he always does. Whatever. But then it stuck. This death stuck. I was also super pissed that they killed off cool sheriff lady. She was AWESOME! She was just like, well, our sheriff lady here in real life. She was just so real. You never get to see that on TV. Probably our real sheriff lady here isn't so wisecracking, but still cool. Anyway.
A flash of lightning. Eek.
I hope this weather isn't the beginning of winter. But actually that would be good. Maybe this rain will help put out some of the forest fires. Summer isn't very summery and delightful this year. It's all smoke and ash. And flames, sometimes you can see them. Whoopdeedoo. The storm seems to have died down a bit.
"'Soon my electro-ray will destroy Metropolis.'" -Buffy on Buffy (cuz sometimes she's on Angel, I have to differentiate!) Yes, it's Buffy quoting Lex Luthor. I know. Weird, right? Heh.
There, I just spaced out Googling. I hear the sirens again. Hmm.
Well, this looks like a long entry about nothing. But since I wrote it I may as well post it. Eh? Sheesh. "And you're fired again." -Robin on Buffy. Hey, these quotes make sense to me. Or maybe they don't, but they sure make me chuckle. I thought of writing this character, who's in a mental institution or whatever, who speaks only in movie and TV show quotes. But what an ordeal to write it! And they are the only one who knows the big answer to the big problem and people have to descramble all their quotey conversation, their riddles, to get the info. Soo coool. Plus it'd be fun for people to watch and try to guess where everything they said came from. It'd be a very dense script. Jam packed with delicately crafted quote combinations. Wow. Something for a bored writer to do. Yeesh. Or one with a lot of time and no better ideas to work with. It's very gimmicky. Hmmph.
"And you're fired again."
So funny. Hee. Me and my sister used to memorize trivial quotes from things. Like what people say right before they go buy a donut or something. Not all the, "Pop quiz, asshole. You have a hair trigger aimed at your head. What do you do? What do you do?"-Speed. Bwahahahha! Okay, I like the good quotes too. Geez! Like Demi Moore's big monologue speech from A Few Good Men. We used to have racing quote-a-thons with that one. Drove people nuts. So geeky. But FUN! Speaking of the path of least resistance. Hmm. Full circle there, eh?
I really should get back to being bored on a Sunday. Now that the flash drives have frustrated me thoroughly. 'Cept it's almost laundry time. Woohoo! Okay, I'll go do that then. I also have to buy gas. Hope it's not still rainin'.
Later, peeps.
