R.I.P. Hewly

I am mourning the loss of my best friend, Hewly. Hewly had been more like a part of me than a computer. In honor of Hewly, I have purchased his bastard cousin, Gateship1.

Gateship1 is a low-level laptop that I can kick around and do all the things I need to do without worrying about the monetary loss should horrible things happen. Don’t get me wrong; I’m very glad to have him, and I’ll be good to him, but if he dies prematurely, I don’t think I’ll be as torn up about it as I am with Hewly.

Possible New Show Alert

Although I had heard about NBC’s adaptation of Crusoe a while ago, I kind of forgot about it. I already watch Heroes from NBC, and thanks to our Democratic politicians, I am not permitted to receive the NBC channel, so I’m hesitant about adding another fandom that I can’t watch first run.

What could possibly change my mind? Sean Bean. The new lead actor playing Crusoe looks amazingly like Bean, and Bean is aptly cast as his father. I don’t think his role is very large, however. Although the trailers for the show all tout his involvement, the Crusoe site doesn’t include him in the “Bio” section, so that makes me a bit leery.

I guess the bottom line is something we all already know: If Sean Bean is onboard at all, I’m watching. :wink2:

Life In One Call

I have been feeling weird today; almost hollow. I considered writing a whole post about how much better things were when I was at WVU and how I missed having friends around.

Then, it happened. My whole life was summed up in a phone call from my mom. “Call me right back so I can see if this new phone works properly,” she said.

That’s me. I’m the person you call only to have some menial task fulfilled. I’m the person you call because you know I’ll be home with nothing else to do. This is what I am.

Excuse me while I go be emo. 😥
