I'm so sick I can't stay awake for more than a few hours. Started Saturday night, it's getting old already.
And now it seems I have a little troll friend on VOX (I still crosspost to LJ so my LJ and VOX accounts are probably 99% identical). Unfortunately I can't even find him amusing because he's too stupid to figure out how to post his comment anywhere that makes sense so he made the mistake of posting on a CynDee post. This to be exact: "shot's for rabies no dought,are you a guy or a girl". So my reply "Do you speak English? What do rabies or shots have to do with vacuum cleaners and/or my dead best friend, which is what this post is about? You sir are a jackass."
I know who he is, sort of. He posted a comment that was meant to be insulting on Libertine's VOX, when I left a comment on the same post, I mentioned to Libertine that that guy's comment had made my head hurt. It was very poorly written and hard to decipher. Keegan puts together sentences better and he's not even 8 yet. I guess I can assume that guy has seen my comment now, like a week later. Thing is, his little attempt to insult me makes no sense, especially on the CynDee post. If someone just goes to that post, he'll look like a spambot -- nonsensical reply to a post. Sorry, be a jerk on a random post, political rants, news rants, even my health. But random out of context jerk stuff on serious posts about my dead friend? Yup, I resorted to name calling.
Poor guy, must be tough going through life unable to tell males from females given there's pics of me on the first page of my vox, which he clearly visited if he's cracking jokes about the shots I have to take. I'd explain to him what I take them for but he's surely too dumb to have heard of that illness, would go to look it up to try to crack more jokes, and his head would explode trying to understand words like "neurological" or "lesions" or hell even "brains".
zzzzzzzzzzz
*EDIT - The shot post on the first page that he must be referring to, it says what the shots are for, it's official, he's an idiot*
I started to write this rambly sleep deprived entry to pass the time, but no one cares that we just got a Dyson vacuum at a moving sale now do they? Or that I skipped sleep. Or, well whatever.
Instead, I've solved a mystery. I've had dreams of CynDee recently, an overwhelming desire to listen to One Headlight more than usual (it's even popped up on the radio and on tv shows I've had on), I've felt as if I should spam her LJ with comments which I suppose is silly but I still do it every year, find myself staring at her name on my ankle, etc etc etc. But it's not the anniversary of her death yet. And then, I realized, Oh yeah.... Isn't her birthday soon. Yup. This coming Friday. She's haunting me apparently. But that's ok, she's allowed, always.
I got an email from my sister that sort of surprised me and sort of didn't. Oh, my. I won't get into it for now. Just drama. Not her. If I were a betting gal with money however, and if there were an opportunity to place bets on the outcome of the situation she sent me, well I could make a pretty penny placing my bet. Or not, doubt the odds on my bet would pay very much, it's so obvious.
Oh no. Vince, the Sham Wow guy was arrested. In his defense, if I was paying a hooker 1k and all she did for me was bite my tongue and not let go? I might hit her to make her let go too! And apparently he was nice enough to be the one to call the cops if I read that police report right. What a gentleman. I guess I should tag this with tv. That guy is classic tv by now! Still say his you're gonna love my nuts / don't have boring tuna commercial is too much. Oh.
Um, hm. I guess that's it. There's drama all around and none of it is mine, it never is. Once upon a time I had my share. Now Sham Wow guy and people connected to my family can have it! I'm just glad my sister has grown out of it and this drama is more something that only semi affects her.
This shall be my new pen holder...
I kind of hope they just take me off the shots. Yeah I'm tired since being taken off of them. But when haven't I been exhausted beyond all fucking belief, even when on them? Not much change. It comes and go in phases, on or off the shots. Provigil helps me a LITTLE but not as it should, I hear it might as well me a hard core street drug. Wish it worked for me as it does others. I didn't even try to refill it. I still have a few and only use it if we have like a big day planned, in hopes it will work. Pain alien comes and goes, but seems better since I've been on Topamax the last few years, granted while upping doses here and there. Tingles comes and go too. On or off shots or Topamax, doesn't matter though bit less on Topamax. I think Topamax or Neurontin has helped me more than shots and even those never got rid of my symptoms they just helped make them better / lesser. Dunno why doctors act like the shots are the IT thing for MS. If it is MS, don't thing they're IT for me. So far, I've been off them for years at one point and now weeks again. We'll see. I've notice more changes when off anti-seizure meds though than shots.
I try to keep my movie and book and tv rants on the blog no one reads, I just rant there because no one should care that I read trashy vamp romances or geek out of Smallville, etc. But since my truly geeky friends are mostly on LJ and VOX, I'll rant here for this one...
You may recall that when CourtTV became TruTV I was disgusted. Still am and if I ever find a reason to refer to them I still call them CourtTV. CourtTV has or had, a long history of breaking REAL trial news where as the name TruTV reads like text speak.
Ok so that out of the way for now, tonight we were at B&N, I almost got Watchmen (glad I decided to wait, amazon is half of B&N's price, and no I still haven't read it, bad me only reading Superman and Batman stuff). Instead I got Storm Front (The Dresden Files, Book 1), which has a "As seen on Sci-Fi" logo on it. Ok, the only thing that I ever watch on Sci-Fi is Ghosthunters, so I tell Brian basically something to the effect of "Not seen by me, because I never see anything that looks good advertised on that channel and I only want to check out this book because of the short story with this character that I'd read in that other book I read recently". Brian, who does like Sci-fi stuff tells me that he doesn't blame for not watching that channel and then he points out, it doesn't matter anyway, Sci-Fi is wrong, they changed their name...

Brian, who does like Sci-fi stuff tells me that he doesn't blame for not watching that channel and then he points out, it doesn't matter anyway, Sci-Fi is wrong, they changed their name...I'd totally forgotten about that. THIS is a bigger WTF??!?!?!?! than when CourtTV changed their name. Seriously Sci-Fi channel is now going to be SyFy? Apparently in an effort to be less Geeky and less Sci-Fi, or something? I... Umm... .Uhhh... Apparently some execs at Sci-fi, sorry SyFy, think we all smoke crack, or perhaps they do? Because the thing is we're still supposed to pronounce it Sci-fi. It's just supposed to be, I don't know umm younger? Cooler? Less Sci-Fi? No, really! That thing that made the network what it is? *bangs her head into the wall* My head hurts now.
The channel really isn't my thing, I admit. I watch Ghosthunters. I used to watch a few shows with my ex now and then. I'm just not much of a sci-fi kind of chick. The little Sci-fi I've liked was more comedy, less sci-fi, or I dunno... Like Red Dwarf. And yeah I dunno... But Sci-Fi is a huge huge huge genre.
Hell even my nephew, who is about to turn 8, is trying to write his own Sci-Fi'ish stories now. And is drawing Sci-fi'ish stuff and wants to build robots. It's a huge part of people's lives, even little kids. Last I checked, it's actually OK and cool to like Sci-Fi stuff, to be "geeky", etc now. And now you wanna try to distance the sci-fi geek aspect and make it more "cool" in a way that just looks STUPID. Like you can't friggin figure how how to spell basically. It looks like umm, I'm not sure what, like you typed two words and forgot a couple of letters. SoyFry maybe. I'm tired of these attempts at "No, we're really cool now" makeovers. Stick to what you do best.
When CourtTV became TruTv, I was so insulted at how they dumbed themselves down, I left. Seriously. They got rid of some things that made them an intelligent resource (ex. Catherine Crier) and added shows with things like B list celebs commenting on dumb criminal vids. Because they weren't CourtTV, they were TruTV. Which was ironic because they were claiming they wanted to be taken more seriously as people think CourtTV is cheesy, they think of silly court shows like Judge Judy or something. And yet, they went cheesy.
Now Sci-Fi is trying to go all we're cool, not geeky. Geeky is the crowd you want, you're a SCI-FI channel. Or you were. At least I only watch GH there. I almost wish they didn't air on that network, can't remember the last time I watched CourtTV, I'd leave Sci-Fi on principle too if they'd air GH somewhere else. I don't like being treated like a fool. And someone who probably makes millions okay'd this brilliant move. I want that job. Only I'd be announcing "some fool wanted us to change our name to SyFy to appear cool and to shun the geeky Sci-fI geeks, so I fired them for wasting my time."
BTW, I don't only read trashy vamp romances, I read kid / YA books too since they get all of the good stuff. I got Coraline this weekend, and read it. Awesome book. I'll have to get the movie when it's out on dvd. 5/5 stars.
this weekend, and read it. Awesome book. I'll have to get the movie when it's out on dvd. 5/5 stars.Watched Twilight - Short version, it's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Listened to the soundtrack, like it, but umm I had to look up the lyrics for Rob Pattinson's song. When I posted a Conor Oberst video, Mom thought I was crazy to like him because she felt he mumbled, well HA! I better not let her hear this song. Because HOLY Mumbling Batman! Rob Pattinson mumbles. It's not even that it was bad, I actually liked his voice on the parts I could make out. Just seriously, I had to look up what the lyrics were for a good chunk of the song because I was like umm wait, what did he just say? And it's not like it's fast. It's really slow and pretty basic, so umm. uhh... Nice voice. Just. Wow. Now that I know what he's saying, all good. Just, uhh... Yeah.
We got most of the stuff that was in the dining room / my office unpacked today, so I should be able to either go get or order my office furniture next weekend. w00t! Then I can unpack my books, art stuff, everything really. Have space of my own. Frame the two James Dean posters of mine that need it to hang them up, one is a bit banged up with minor tears on top after being in closets etc for years -- Brian "It gives it character". Uhh, yeah.
The people who used to live here stopped by to see if they left stuff in the little cabinet over where we park. I didn't meet them but Brian did, they told him they did a lot of damage to the apartment. Guess that explains why we got new carpets and lights and stuff, but who comes over and tells the new tenants basically "yeah we used to live here and totally trashed the apartment"?
Started reading Coraline, should finish it quickly as it's good so far and short.
Feeling sick. Not like MS Brain alien / whatever I have sick, just normal people sick.
Tomorrow is just maybe go get a coffee and kick back at home day.
Would like to have energy to walk to Venice. Haven't done that yet as I just haven't had the energy. It's twice the walk that Mother's Beach is so hopefully by body will cooperate soon (in fairness, Mother's Beach is close, I just have been THAT wiped out and weak so double the walk each way isn't doable yet). Still recovering from the move. My body hates me. Always the aliens or now normal people sickness.
All of the news and politics lately is the economy. Blah blah blah. They're all greedy bastards who don't get it. blah blah blah. Let's take "bail out" money and build new offices, give out bonuses, etc etc etc. We're so stupid. blah blah blah. Rich people divorcing and can't live office millions, boo hoo. Blah blah blah blah. Idiots. All of them. Meanwhile the rest of us cringe over our $300 a month meds, our food prices, gas prices, rent, etc. Whatever, same news every day.
Can only rant about that crap so much. Soooo.... since I've covered it all. Let's trying something new and with my short attention span this will probably happen oohh once...
The DA/Ramie/Engel/Angel/Whatever name you know me by QOTD:
Who is your hero? Real life hero, comic book hero, movie hero, whatever, don't care, all of thee above. Who is your hero?
Mine = Christopher Reeve and Superman. Yes the man and his character both! How convenient! But if you know me, you already knew that. The man for being so strong after his accident and inspiring / helping so many others. The character because he's friggin Superman, Duh! He's basically the grandpa of comics and he's still going strong. Not so sure about Smallville though -- bad bad Jimmy Olsen, Jerk!
In case there were any doubt when I said Dutchie won't leave me alone and tried to help as I was taking pics? Proof. In fact she's in my lap trying to help write this, so Dutchie cat says hello to you all.
Sooo I probably should have stuck to bright colours! I thought there was no way I could dye up the bathroom with this normal colour dye, never have before. Go upstairs, am dying my hair, doing fine. Brian comes up and is all why are you dying your hair in here. Looks all upset. Is convinced I'm gonna somehow ruin the whole bathroom. Not a friggin drop anywhere, not even really on my skin. Sheesh. And besides this isn't the bright stuff, I gave that up just to spare these apartments they're tearing down in a few years... hmm. Yeah. He walks out, sure enough after telling me I'll get dye everywhere it falls off the gloved hands of mine, onto the counter. Crap, he's gonna kill me. But eh, this stuff tends to wipe right off and I'm almost done, so I rush. Hurry with my hair, go get the orange wipes and yes the stuff is cleaning right up... err or not. It's like it absorbed right into the tile. Like the surface of the glob of the spill cleaned up but oops. Well maybe he brought some bleach from the old place even though that smell makes me violently ill. Nope. Hmm yup he's gonna kill me. I'll blame him for telling me I'd ruin the bathroom. Not a drop until he said that. Somehow he's not mad and perhaps is even amused that I was neat until he said that, I think because he too noticed that I hadn't gotten anything anywhere until after that. Might as well have stuck with the bright red or orange but that would have dyed the shower, this did not...
Dutchie won't leave me alone, she even followed me into the bathroom when I was trying to get this picture in front of the mirror (she jumped up on the sink and was grabbing at my hand and chest as I took this), so, I gave up on getting a good picture. Here's an idea of how I look anyway, you know, since no one has really seen me with "normal' looking hair for years (unless you count Brian seeing it blonde for a day or two). I've got a feeling I'm gonna miss bright soon. Perhaps I can find a brighter red or reddish purple next time. I know they have one that is more purple'y red in normal people dye. This will do... for NOW. Feels kind of boring but at least it's not a mess like my hair was as it was growing out and half dyed and half not.
