These past two days have been seriously annoying - the internet decided it didn't want to work, and so I spent two days out of my comfort zone. See, I'm obsessive about checking my email. I know that, on any given day, I probably won't get any important emails, but on those rare occasions that I do, I want to be there when it first arrives, so that I don't miss an important opportunity, or the person doesn't think I'm avoiding them. I reply asap.
Being away from the internet also meant I couldn't read any of my comics or catch up on the latest celebrity gossip.
My status being Sans Interwebs is the reason I watched the same episode of Brett Michaels' Rock of Love for a 4th time. That Lacey is a serious bitch, and I hope Heather has her big boobies explode. I'm rooting for Jess and Sam, but it seems like Sam wants to leave and may do so next week, which is a shame because Brett seems like someone who needs a non-partier in his life, to counter-act all the partying he does do.
What can I say? Reality TV is my dirty little secret.
Oh, and if I were in that house, Brett'd totally pick me. I'd win.
Likewise if I were in America's Next Top Model. I'd be the next Cover Girl, and America would love me.
But I don't kid myself - I'd never win Idol. I mean, I don't really watch the show, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't get past the first part where Simon's the meanest person ever.
I'd also never win Hell's Kitchen - I don't know how to par broil, and freak out when someone's yelling in my face all the time.
Though I like Hell's Kitchen a lot.
I totally knew Rock was going to win - though I was rooting for Bonnie, because she was the underdog, and a girl. I always root for the girl. Then the underdog. If it were down to Bonnie and Julia, I would have rooted for Bonnie, because Julia was such a fan favorite. I like rooting against fan favorites - except in Baseball, where I am a Yankees' fan.
I have hand written 29 pages of my fantasy story... I guess it's "urban fantasy" but I'm not sure - I think what I like about writing today is that fantasy and sci-fi have evolved so much in their own genres, and continually push the boundaries of was can be considered sci-fi and fantasy that calling a piece "fantasy" no longer means "sword and sorcery" - it can be anything out of the norm that takes a character on an adventure in a place that is not this world. While sci-fi no longer just means "distant future" or "space" it encompasses alternate realities of this world, as long as science has some major function in it. I like that. I like it when things evolve, not only in my mind, but in the minds of the people in charge - since I'll never be a "person in charge" (because I don't want to be) it's good to have them on the same page as I am.
My favoritest band ever (ok - they're not my most favorite band, but I really do love them, and are definitely up there) the Fireflies have won Emergenza - a worldwide Battle of the Bands. They WON it. This small group from SUNY Purchase (where I also attended, and also discovered them like 4 years ago) is, at this moment, the best new band in the world.
That's just awesome.
