I'm tired of it all.
Does anybody else hate the IMDB message boards? Can anyone have an intelligent conversation on there without some argument over something so banal?
I should stay off the "Dark Angel" board from now on. I can't stand the way people discuss the show on there. No, I'm not some hardcore fan and no I'm not some pissed off fangirl, it's just the fact that people either ask stupid questions or start fighting over a topic that is just...not important.
Oh, and the reason "Dark Angel" got the boot was because FOX network decided it. That's it. It's not that hard...some shows don't make it. The extreme changes between the first and second season can accompany it's failure to see another season, but that's about it.

Ch-Ch-Changes & the TV Set
This blog is in definite need for a makeover of some kind...I'm too lazy to do it though. This part of the year is really busy though. Right before Christmas, it gets cold as hell froze over outside and I have dreaded final papers and exams to do. That will put anyone in the Christmas spirit!
X_X
Perhaps the biggest bollocks of all is all my television shows are on hiatus and don't return until mid-January. Getting a break from that is nice considering all the other things I have to worry about...
I was looking up stats on average television watching in the USA as of 2008-2009 and it's up 20% from 10 years ago according to Nielsen Wire . I find that hard to believe, I maybe watch 20 hours of television a week, but that happens out of boredom. I watch several shows throughout the year. This year I've clocked time for Supernatural, White Collar, Being Human, and The Vampire Diaries (simply because it's on before SPN). That's a few hours in one week. The other hours attribute to made-for-TV movies (or movie channel movies) and Comedy Central. I've watched more stand-up in the last year than I have in my entire life.
I rarely watch new shows, my boxed set DVDs of shows get more use on my television than actual cable. And I've watched some shows/ movies via Netflix or Hulu. Some among them have been True Blood which I do not get on cable or The Crow: Stairway to Heaven which I have never seen considering I was a kid when it aired. It's nice having the option to watch something just for the sake of having the ability to instead of fishing out 40 bucks for a boxed set especially if you don't know if it's worth it.
The question is do they considering watching these things online as watching them on television? It's another form of streaming entertainment that many people take advantage of in this technological age. I thought if it's offered online I don't have to lose an arm and a leg to find it on the television.
A side-note to all of this, my parents still cannot functionally use anything electronic. I had to set up an e-mail account for my father again because he can't remember the first one. I told them they have to remember because you need an e-mail address to do anything online. Maybe one day they'll get it.
<_<
I guess I'll go on with my day now. Don't ask what all the weird faces are for. I'm just in that mood...

new month & i'm bored
My dad is already talking about Christmas We are going to have a homemade Christmas this years because my family has no money. So presents are some kind of luxury now, but I rather it yummy food than get fifty presents. That could be my food obsession talking there, but I cant help it. I LOVE FOOD. My only wish was that I was a better cook so I could make some really delicious stuff to eat.
I am bored and I hate to announce it. I know I am and anybody reading this would know. Not to mention it is in the entry title. I'm using it as a segue for something to talk about unfortunately it fails because I told you why. Crap, I'm ranting...away, evil rant, away!
I've been a fan of Emma Watson since she started work on Harry Potter as Hermione Granger and she is the same age as myself. I'm several weeks older than her, but that's the only difference. I have always liked her, the mentality of doing well in school and her work, her fashion, and overall character as a person. She started university at Brown in Rhode Island this year to try and get back to a normal routine for herself. She says that she doesn't see acting as her career, she has many interests in other things particularly she has mentioned Literature and Art. I think it was wonderful she wanted to attend university especially in the States considering I'm from here.
I looked her name up on Google just because I wondered what college she decided on attending and I found out something kind of shitty. Supposedly she was being "stalked" (as all sources put it) at a football game between Brown and Harvard just so some fools could snap a picture of her. I get it, someone famous coming to your school, it would be cool to see them. The part I do not understand is why waste the energy? As people left comments on different source, I would like to state my own being a fan and all.
I believe that it's not right to do that to anybody, famous or not. If you get rowdy with it, it can pass for harassment. I don't blame the girl for being frightened by people following her, she was just trying to have some fun! I realize it's a bit hard to return to normality when for the last ten years your life has been anything but. The hype will die down I'm sure, but until then people need to grow up and recognize she is a human being and has certain unalienable rights.
Argh... in the immortal words of Dean Winchester: "Demons I get, people are just crazy."

something that just can't escape me
I don't know why this is fretting my mind, but it is. I'm not sure why this is even on my mind but I suppose I should get to the point here...
I want to write an entry about logic and creativity. I don't think these two words cohabit together, but I'm writing a post about them anyway. Whenever I'm learning about something in class, many of the times I want to know why what's what. I want to know the logical standpoint of why gravity is and why Shakespeare wrote his plays in iambic pentameter and what the hell that really is...
But how far is it before knowing too much becomes too much? I want answer but than again I don't because they can flush out whatever I imagined about that certain thing. I like creativity and I want to keep it. As people get older, they wish for reasonable answers to everything. They learn the world isn't so care-free as it was as a child. I think so many people miss their childhood and constantly try to live it over and over again by looking through pictures and film, and events from those time periods.
Logic is a smart approach but is it sometimes bad for us? Knowing many things can prove useful when that knowledge is needed, but when you are in a strange situation where logic fails (think of Alice in Wonderland) will there be any creativity to help you?
I realize this is an on-going and probably unanswerable idea, but it bothers me. I want to have the same ability to write good stories now as I will twenty years from now. I don't want to hate writing because it has to be formal and unoriginal. I want to approach things from angles most people don't as I do today and hopefully will do for the rest of my life. I think it's good to have some child left in you, therefore you never truly loose that unwhittled heart that believes everything to be pure and simple.
I think I could be overanalyzing but I don't want my life to turn out that way.
