Aw, Luck It

2 Comments

So yesterday (07/07/07) was supposed to be the luckiest day of the century. Uh, I didn’t get lucky. Nope. Not at all. It was just a regular day. If anything, it was a boring day. I ended up organizing the pics on my Zune and adding a few more Doctor Who eps. Fascinating.

I did discover a torrent (not well seeded) of the first 26 years of The Doctor, and within the next week, I should have the first two seasons. See? Unlucky seeding. Also? The complete torrent is 201GB. I don’t know a lot about techno stuff, but I’m pretty damned sure I can’t get 201GB on my 120GB hard drive, especially when I have something like 13GB available. See? Unlucky hard drive space. I’m going to have to go a couple of seasons at a time, burn them, seed them, and move on.

I got all my hair cut off Friday. I don’t think it to be an unlucky situation, as it’s very cute, but if I had waited until yesterday…

I have a sneaking suspicion that this morning’s coffee is the only thing keeping me awake right now and I’m seriously considering taking a nap–yes, at 9:00am.

Doctor What?!?

whologo.jpg Oh. Oh no. Just no. The finale was mind-boggling in that awful, how could they(?!) kind of way. Parts of the plot, were good. Martha’s stuff was tremendously better than all the rest, but what they did to The Doctor, oh lord, *shudders* that will be remembered as one of the worst, absolute worst, plotpoints in history. Seriously. We as a human race do not have the technology to make that look good for TV, so don’t try it. *shudders* I do, however, :love: the Jack twist. I had a total WOW! moment there. The Christmas special has already started out on a TOTAL non-canon note, and I’m just not sure about this show anymore. I actually found myself wanting to watch Torchwood(which I never knew was an anagram of Doctor Who until this week…duh!), and that can’t be a good sign. I looped the last two episodes to death, and I don’t even know if I can watch the finale again. Sadness.

Anyway, I’ll be incommunicado for the next few days as I join my family for a little vacation time, so have a great week, everyone!

P.S. I lost 5.5 lbs. in my first week back in WW. Yay!

No Lipgloss

I’m adding a bunch of music to my Zune today. I have all my favorite fanvids on there (well over 150), a few movies (Hello, Hot Fuzz), favorite episodes of SG-1 (It’s Good To Be King, Unending), and a few Doctor Who eps, as well as all my old, tired music. Today, however, I’m adding shiny new music. Yay!! I have Rufus Wainwright, Lifehouse, and Busta Rhymes. With the recent addition of Linkin Park, Loreena McKinnett, and Bone (for my brother), I’d say I have a pretty diverse musical lineup on there.

If only I could get the video for “Lipgloss” encoded in time… *snerk*

Now all I have to do is actually go somewhere so I can enjoy my Zune. 🙂

Happiness is. . .

My (all too brief) visit with Narayan was just as I expected, full of juvenile humor and uncontrollable laughter. I’m happy to see that he hasn’t lost a lot of weight during his latest trip to Asia since he normally looks too skinny when he returns. For anyone interested, some of his photographs can be seen at NarayanMahon.com I’m sure none of the recent pics are up yet, and most of my favorites aren’t on his site yet, but can be seen at his generic hosting site, here.

Tomorrow, I get to play “Aunt Jenn” to Cage since my brother and his wife are at a golf tournament my brother is playing in. It’s the Coca-Cola something or other and only 5 amateurs were invited to play for the chance to play on the pro circuit next year. It’s a huge deal for him and regardless of the outcome, he’s really done well!

Ooh, my new principal was announced today (well, the assistant superintendent told me who it is, I don’t know if it’s been announced publicly or not). He seems like an OK guy from what we’ve heard. He’s a bodybuilder and former title winning coach, so maybe he’ll have the right blend of characteristics to whip our school into shape. :clap:

I haven’t commented much on this season of Doctor Who, but I have to admit that some of the eps have been just terrific. I especially like “Blink” and the kooky new Master. If Tennant wasn’t such a loon, I don’t know if I’d find The Master menacing enough, but with both of them running around like demented 8 year olds, I guess it works in a bizarre kind of way. I’m actually dreading the season finale since it means that we’ll have to wait until Christmas for more. I’m sure I’ll just break out the 9th DVD and tide myself over. :wink2:
