"Let's look death in the face and say, 'Whatever, man.'"

Wow, what an entertaining episode of LOST. There were so many quotable lines that I can't even remember them all. Sawyer calling Hurley "Snuffy" was hilarious!
The Beer!
The Van!
"Well look at that! Somebody's hooked on phonics."
"I'm sorry. You were right. Those pants don't make you look fat."!
"Red...neck...man"!
I don't care if next to no questions were answered, or the plot wasn't really advanced in any way. I just loved this episode.
I love Hurley.
I love Charlie.
I love Jin.
I even love Sawyer when he isn't with Kate!

Best line, delivered by Cheech, "That's one hell of a Jesus."

Classic!

Spring's around the corner, I just know it

On this last day of February for 2007, I just feel like spring is almost upon us. Not just the literal season, but an actual spring season in my life. It just feels like stuff is about to come alive again. I'm filled with hope. I like to grasp these feelings while they last, they're good memories when you feel like you're still in the dead of winter. In commemoration of this feeling, here's Relient K's lyrics to In Like a Lion (Always Winter)

It's always nice to look out the window
And see those very first few flakes of snow
And later on we can go outside
And create the impression of an angel that just fell from the sky

When February rolls around I'll roll my eyes
Turn a cold shoulder to these even colder skies
And by the fire my heart it heaves a sigh
For the green grass waiting on the other side

It's always winter but never Christmas
It seems this curse just can't be lifted
Yet in the midst of all this ice and snow
Our hearts stay warm cause they are filled with hope

It'd be so nice to look out the window
And see the leaves on the trees begin to show
The birds would congregate and sing
A song of birth a song of newer things

The wind would calm and the sun would shine
I'd go outside and I'd squint my eyes
But for now I will simply just withdraw
Sit here and wish for this world to thaw

And everything it changed overnight
This dying world you brought it back to life
And deep inside I felt things
Shifting everything was melting
Away oh away
And you gave us the most beautiful of days

Cause when it's always winter but never Christmas
Sometimes it feels like you're not with us
But deep inside our hearts we know
That you are here and we will not lose hope

The year was... I don't actually remember

I read a message board topic recently, asking people who owned the Wii when they first started playing video games; specifically how old were they and on what system. I can't remember a time I didn't play video games, to be honest.
If you specifically narrow it down to home console gaming; it would be the Nintendo Entertainment System (nes, for short). There's a chance, though small, that I played my family's Intelevision 2. I also remember playing a computer racing game. Actually, I only remember playing one course, I was really little (maybe three years old or thereabouts) and had memorized that one course. You know, if you consider that playing.
I also have fond memories of an arcade machine in a bowling alley. It was RoadBlasters, and that game rocked. I haven't seen it since, but I loved that game. The time line of my memory is really off, so I don't remember which of these events happened first.
Later, I know we got a Super Nintendo (which I need to check as soon as we unpack and make sure it isn't turning an ugly yellow color...) and I remember playing that.
But the first time I really got into playing video games was when we got our N64. I loved that system. That was when I actually started being able to beat people at games. I was able to win against my brother and two guys friends at Super Smash Bros. even when they all ganged up against me. I loved it. I also beat my brother's high scores at Starfox64, I managed to get his highest score as the lowest of all ten of the listed high scores. Awesome. I was even a decent challenge at Mario Kart 64.
Then came the Gamecube. Sadly, around then I met a guy who was better than me at nearly every game. I still gave him a run for his money, but usually he won. I was able to always beat his sister, though, so it was OK. I don't plan on getting too competitive on the Wii, it's too fun.
I had been really competitive with the N64. My friends accused me of being psycho once. I haven't been accused of that since.

Was there a point to this entry? Not really, just getting the thoughts out of my head.

Lost you disappoint me

I am officially tired of the Others.

I am officially tired of Jack.

I am officially tired of Kate and Sawyer.

I am officially disturbed by Bai Ling. (Good heavens, with as many Asian actresses as there are in this world they had to cast her? Looking at her makes me feel ill, seriously)

After last weeks episode, this was the most boring, they most pointless, the most annoying thing I've had to watch. The ads all suck, there were no answered questions. At least, not any good questions.

I'm struggling to find anything good about this episode. Oh, the "Sheriff" woman was sufficiently creepy. I'll give them that. This episode failed to make me care. At all.

Here's holding out hope for next week.

Two good things

I ought to be writing e-mails, the problem is, I don't feel like it. I have 4 to reply to and two others (at least) that I have been planning to to write. I don't want to write that much, especially since a heck of a lot of it will be repeating myself to each individual. Oh well, if you're reading this and I owe you an e-mail, I'm sorry, my heart's just not in it right now. You will hear from me soon.

Great news, I now have a day to look forward to. I have a date for moving into a house. No more RV living. 3 months without a bedroom, or a real bed or my stuff has taken a toll on my sanity. So, praise God, I now have a real goal. The time that I will again be in a real house is no longer an abstract concept that holds me just short of going on a rampage, it is now a set, official date.

Another good thing is I found a Wii. Awesome, no? I didn't even have to wait in line for it in the early morning. Costco has become my favorite warehouse store. (If I actually have a favorite warehouse store, that is) It came with Excite Truck bundled in, and I bought Elebits, my dad also bought some FPS that isn't my sort of thing. So, along with Wii Sports (free with every wii!) I have 3 great past times for when I'm stuck in this RV. Can't wait till Super Smash Bros. Brawl comes out, that's 75% of the reason I bought a wii. Now I just need to make friends to play with.

Gamer girl since the N64, and I don't plan on stopping now! Yay!

Valentine's Day for Geeks

I love these

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone I love! Hugs all around!

"I will not hate Valentines Day" X 1,000

Up until about 2 years ago, I loved Valentine's Day. I was never in a relationship, I just liked it. I usually bought some candy hearts and inhaled them like a pig. (Much like how I don't celebrate Halloween, but love love love candy corn and candy pumpkins)

Two years ago, I don't know what happened. I think I ended up being around people again (I'm a recluse at heart, seriously, I don't like people. There are individuals I love, but people annoy me) and they planted the seeds of dissatisfaction in my sweet little heart.

I don't get why singles feel they have to hate on the holiday.

Last year, in an attempt to enjoy it all, I made an ipod playlist of happy love songs; no heartbreak, no longing, just lovey-dovey junk. I forced myself not to skip a single one. I listened to 81 before I cracked. I don't recommend it.

Lately, my Dad has been going on about how a guy can't "win" on V day. He says all the comercials and print ads make it seem as though he must buy diamonds or he's a cheap scumbag. I suppose that may be so, but if I were with someone right now, my only request or expectation for a gift would be that he sit and watch LOST with me.

Wouldn't I be a relief? I think so.

Hallmark and jewelry stores have sucked the life out of it anyway.

I love this weird cat

So I was wrong (Lost, minor spoiler)

I didn't realize that the first new episode of LOST was going to be about Juliet. Dang, I wanted to see Des... next week.
So, that bus freaked me out, how about you?

New LOST tonight, Yipee

So, yeah, I used an Office icon for a new LOST day, but I've got only 1 Desmond icon that I want to save for a special occasion... and I don't fee like looking for a different one right now. Besides, that's the greatest Michael Scott quote ever!

Moving on. Yup, I have a new LOST to look forward to tonight. I haven't caught up on my unlistened to podcasts, though. Jay and Jack must hate me. That is, if they knew who I was they'd hate me.
I know, (if you hate spoilers, don't read until after the new episode) that Desmond is at least in the flaschbacks, but I'm not sure that this is a Des episode. Can you tell I like Des? Has the fact that his face keeps showing up in my blog give you any hints? He's tied with Charlie for my favorite character. I want to see lots of Charlie in tonight's ep.
I've been wondering about the last Lost preview I saw... why was Charlie shaved? Did they happen across some razors on weirdo island and Charlie decided to beard wasn't for him? I don't get it.
How much longer do we have to put up with Paulo and Nikki? They feel fake, like certain people who audition American Idol. (Yeah, I'm supposed to believe that some of those idiots aren't joking around and getting paid for it, right)
Will we pick up right where we left off with "Kate, dammit, Run!"? That would be cool. Or they could take the horrible route of leaving us in suspense of that for the first few minutes. I wonder what they'll do? Hmmm.

Till next I write!

Musings of the depressed

Is there any way to say that you feel bored, crowded, lonely, frustrated, and just plain sick of it all without complaining? Yeah, I didn't think there was. I knew that this morning that today was a day that would best be spent rolling over and going back to sleep until tomorrow came, but that's just not an option. I just wish that occasionally my "intuition" would give it a rest. Waking up and just knowing that life will suck that day doesn't give you much chance to try and prove yourself wrong, does it?

On top of it all I want to yell in Viacom's face. Yeah, the entire staff of Viacom. They decided they wanted everything they owned off of YouTube. Now, I realize that's copyrighted material, and it's illegal to put it online without their permission, but if they'd just get off their butts and put the material on DVD or something, it would be available to us and they'd still profit.

I sure hope this feeling of doom and depression is short-lived.

Why in heaven's name did I buy Hawk Nelson's "Smile it's the End of the World"? And why am I sort of enjoying it right now?

Lost, on Wednesday. It's about time. Even if I have to stay awake until 11 now that they moved the time back... I can't wait.

I'll stop writing now.

You Follow Your Head

You're rational, collected, and logical. Generally, it takes you quite a while to fall in love. In fact, you've even been accused of being very picky. While you're cool, you're not ice cold. You just know what you want, and don't mind waiting to get it.

Do You Follow Your Head or Your Heart?
