Awhile ago I was complaining about the TV adaptation of Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series. The Wizard's First Rule, which is a book I would recommend to EVERYONE and is probably my favorite book. At least while I'm thinking of it now, my memory is wonky.

Anyway, normally I'm pretty lax about adaptations because I'm all for the promotion of something I enjoy. However, I was upset because WFR was on a whole notha' level (Mad TV FTW!) and I didn't want some crappy TV show to ruin it.

But...

Today while my mom was watching TMZ (....I know....) I caught the trailer for the show called Legend of the Seeker, and I gotta say, I'm excited! The acting...I didn't quite buy it from the preview, but I enjoyed seeing Kahlan's confessor powers in one of the scenes. The action looked pretty cool too.

Oh, but Richard called her Kay-lin while I've always pronounced her name Ka-lawn. That was weird. I'm still gonna call her Ka-lawn

So I'm excited and definitely going to tune it, but my hopes aren't up too high. I'm also wondering why it's on such a...meh channel. But being on a big network would probably get it cancelled faster lol.

One last thing that's unrelated. Is there a limit to reading comments on a blog? I can't seem to read comments after number 20. That sucks.

I'm tired of looking at my last blog with the political theme. Ewww. I did write something before to complain about the new tv.com layout, but it didn't show up, and now I don't care anymore.

Hmm. so what's on my mind right now? I've been watchin the first season of Prison Break over again, and I just love it. Back when Wentworth showed off his tattoos and went shirtless frequently. When Sara and he had this great sexual tension because of forbidden prisoner/doctor love! When Robin Tunney was in the cast and I just love her because of the first time I saw her in The Craft. Witches are cool. I loved that movie. I also loved Adventures in Babysitting. That has nothing to do with Prison Break or Robin Tunney, it's just a random movie I loved when i was younger. Oh wait, AOB was set in Chicago too! Oooh! It's like playing Kevin Bacon. I'm awesome at that game.

What else is going on? Not much. School is starting soon. I have a love/hate relationship with my school. Well..more like 'like/hate' because I can't remember a time I loved coming to class. You'd think doing art and stuff would be fun, but the teachers attach so much b.s. and politics to all the assignments it sucks all the fun out of it. Plus at my school it's taboo to watch tv and eat meat. Damn hippies. But it does get me out of doing math. So woo hoo to that!

My obsession with Bleach might be wearing off. Which is sad, because I like having something to obsess over now and again. However I'll probably enjoy the HM episodes coming back to the anime and if my class is super boring, Bleach would be a great distraction.

I haven't been reading the manga in awhile, I like saving them all up. Plus I promised not to read any manga until I updated a chapter in my fanfic. Yeah. I'm THAT nerdy. But I'm a decent writer so I'm not too embarrassed. It's just something fun to do and I enjoy the praise I get from reviews

Oh, anyone heard of Tenacious D? I LOVE them. My ex turned me onto them and we used to sing the ballads together. You know the one ****Me Gently and so on. LOl! I love Jack Black and of course KG. Ah good times. Alright, that wasted a good few mintues. Back to work for me!

I hate politics, and I'm not sure this is the best place for me to bring up my views on our presidential candidates, but it's something on my mind right now and I'm seriously perplexed.

I used to like McCain because a few years ago he wasn't afraid to cross party lines to do what he thought was right. He went on the Daily Show with John Stewart and he won me over However, during these campaigning days, he's kind of gone back on what he said previously to keep the conservative voters on his side. I of course know you can't trust politicians, but now I'm wondering just how full of poo he is.

With Obama, I basically feel that he talks big, but I don't know if he can deliver. But his less conservative ideals are what I'm looking for in a candidate. Maybe it's my liberal schooling, but I'm getting seriously concerned about the direction America is heading in. Banning abortion and banning gay marriage are steps in the wrong direction in my book (not THE book lol).

Where's the party/candidate that deals with common sense? I don't care what religion you are or who's poking you in the what, I just want someone who treats people equally, doesn't force their beliefs on others, and protects our country.

Actually, now that I think about it, I'm probably liberal because I care about environmental issues too. Meeeeeh. I hate politics. Forget trying to figure things out, I'll just watch tv until these feelings go away.

And about tv....Prison Break is back! And so is Sara! (hooray!) I love it! I can't wait for Bones tmo and I'm sure there are plenty of other shows that I can't think of right now, but I'll fangirl later. Wow, I instantly feel better. Go TV! That's my candidate! We should just get everyone in the world to watch an episode of The Office and everything would be fine.

It's when things stop working that you realize how totally dependant you are on seemingly unimportant things.

I was at work when my laptop suddenly got a virus and freaked me the frack out. I've never had a virus before. I didn't download anything or visit...unsavory sites...but randomly I was attacked and totally clueless as to what to do. I took it in to a big name retail who ABSOLUTELY overcharged me. I'm employing the 'Don't ask, don't tell' policy for the price, because I will explode.

Unfortunately, my tech troubles didn't end there. Once I got my laptop back, I immediately used my new anti-virus and spy sweeper thingy to the PC, that I actually use everyday, and my PC thanked me by breaking down!

I think what happened had something to do with disabling cookies that shouldn't have been disabled. BTW, I hate that something so computer related has such a decieving name. Because I LOVE cookies, and they've never caused me so much frustration that I pulled my hair out.

So I ended up enabling all the stuff I disabled, and uninstalling the software because I actually have a different kind of software already on the PC, But now my computer is being swarmed by random ads popping up. So I guess I enabled the stuff I needed to enable, but also enabled an adware, spyware, whatever the heck it's called thingy.

AND, because, omg, I'm seriously not done; my phone has ceased to work. All of this happened on the same freaking day. I have NO IDEA what I've done to the gods of technology for them to smite me so. Because I never had problems with any of this stuff before, and they all betrayed me in the same freaking day.

My cell is randomly shutting off and turning back on until it drains itself of power in about 20 min. Tommorrow I'm going to the store to get it fixed. I'm actually thankful that no one calls me though, because the phone issue is annoying, but it's not like people are dying to reach me.

So my ultimate plan, aside from marrying a computer geek and making him fix everything or becoming instantly super rich and just buying a new something whenever the old something breaks; My NEW plan is to buy a computers for idiots guide and at least getting the basics down so I can avoid this stuff in the future. I'm also going to call those jerks I overpaid and demand some free answers. I don't mind playing a super idiot so that people will pity me and I'll get what I want. It worked in elementary school when Jake was going to tell the teacher I pushed him(I just cried...although they were sincere tears...), and it sure as hell works now...the tears will still be sincere...

(Rocky! This a very rare shot of him holding still. There must be something shiny distracting him. He's a sharpei-boxer mix, but amazingly, he doesn't have those wrinkles or that flat nose. It's a miracle he actually came out cute )

For the obvious reasons of course, but for the purpose of this blog, because of his knack at breaking through my windows.

Not the glass part, he's no Resident Evil doberman (aww so cute and bloody!) but he's broken and climbed through two screen windows in our house and let me tell you, I love my dog to bits, but it's scary as anything to see him clawing his way through like a Zombie. He's way cuter, but just as deadly...okay he's not deadly, he's adorable, but still!

In the area we live in, the Pacific Northwest, we get a lot of rain and humidity so we don't get many thunder storms. (I literally just learned last night that it needs to be dry to have thunderstorms and that's why we had them all the time in AZ...I'm a bit slow I guess...)

Anyway, so when it DOES actually storm in the area, I'm excited because of the booming that shakes the house the lights dancing in the sky, but my poor puppy disagrees. He's not completely house trained and he's got the energy of a chipmunk on meth (not that I actually know what that looks like...) so it's safe to say my dear little Rocky spends a lot of time outside.

If it were day time, there wouldn't be a problem because I'm AWAKE. But at night, Rocky takes it upon himself to play burglar/zombie/dog to break in and scare the shipoopi out of me. I don't enjoy being roused from sleep to scratching, ripping, groaning, and the all around zombie creepiness in the middle of the night. I've seen way too many movies not to know the tell tale signs. My friends and I have a zombie evacuation plan mapped out already.

But that'll all fail if the zombies get to Rocky first! I'll be doomed I tell you! Dooooomed. Alright I'm done.
