Buster and I are sitting in the kitchen, posting this blog, since my computer no longer keeps charge. I called Apple today, and my computer cannot be called in for free technical service.
So I have to either go to my closest Apple Retail store (Metarie, LA) or call the support line and pay 49.99. BULL.
Whatever. I will get my computer fixed somehow.
Nothing much has happened of any particular significance. My bff ladies are coming home this weekend for Thanksgiving. This makes me very, very happy.
Thursday, Conor Oberst will be playing a show in New Orleans, and perhaps, if I go to the concert, I could bring my computer to the Apple store. I really hope we do go to the concert, since it will be awesome and whatnot.
UGH. I can't think of anything to really write about. There are lots of shows to talk about: Dexter, Desperate Housewives, True Blood, Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy (the latter two I haven't seen yet). Oh yes, and Eleventh Hour, which I also have not seen yet.
However, I can tell you that the first three shows were very watch-worthy. Mmm, only the season finale of True Blood left, which the last episode left me with a little relief knowing that I was right about Rene. He is NOT the sweet Cajun guy everyone thought he was. He is a killer. Unless he can come up with a justified reason for why he disappeared after his sister was murdered.
Gossip Girl is coming on soon, so I gotta go get ready.

honest to blog
I'm watching Juno. My computer is probably on its way out, so this will be a short post.
Tomorrow, I really need to call the Apple people so I can finally get all this over with and get it fixed.
I read the first chapter of Twilight again. I forget how innocent Bella Swan is in the beginning. She's so intent on not being happy in Forks, WA. It's a little cliche, which I remember the first book of the series being. The way Stephenie Meyer writes is right for the tone though. It's told from the POV of a 16 year old girl. It sounds like it's a 16 year old girl. So I guess it fits. It's just right.
I finished a short story. It's not my first, but it makes me so happy that I finished it. It needs a little work. The ending isn't really obvious yet. I had my intentions, but they are not clear, I guess is what I mean. 'The Scouting Isle.' I would post it on here, but ... it's too long. And incomplete.
How many drafts will author go through with one short story? Many, many, many. That is what I know. I wonder how many drafts Chekhov went through to finish The Lady with the Dog.
Jason Bateman is getting fresh with a 16 year old girl on Juno right now.
I can't say enough how much I love Michael Cera. So beautiful he is. Almost as beautiful as Buster. I want to see more movies with him in it. Not the younger, awkward Michael Cera, but the now wonderful Michael Cera.
Why is it with actors it would feel weird just calling Angelina Jolie just Angelina. Or Al Pacino just Al. Edward Norton... calling him just Ed, or Edward. All connotations of the name Edward. It just seems weird.
Jennifer Garner's character wants to be a mom so badly.
BTW: I did, in fact, make a 100 on my World Civ 1 test. GO ME!

election day tomorrow!
I love, love, love the Yahoo Political Dashboard. It's fun. The graphs are all very neat and whatever. Check out Florida. That's the rate I want the rest of the red states to go.
Today I realized I still had green hair (dye/spray) stuff on my scalp. I really need to take a shower to get rid of it. I mean, it's not like I haven't showered twice already, plus washing my hair twice the day after Halloween, but apparently I missed something.
As for Halloween, it was productive, and fun. I didn't get any pictures - oh well. My computer has been acting up lately as well. I need to call the Apple people and ask them what it is I can do to get it fixed. Damn computers. (Although I do love mine) <3
Last night's television spotlight is on True Blood. There are only three episodes left, and the tension is growing sporadically. Questions are on everyone's minds: Who's the killer? Wtf is Sam Merlotte a dog? We can't wait for the next installment to find out why exactly Sam woke up naked on Sookie's bed. I mean, it's a little obvious, but ... something else could be awry.
As for the books, I haven't been able to get my hands on them yet. I owe the library $1.60, plus the first few books in the series are not even on the shelves. I'm sure they're on hold and once I get all that taken care of, I'll be like 50th in line for the first novel. I'd be better off going to Borders or whatever and getting them. I do have a Borders book card after all. Oh yes, and the author's name is CharLAINE Harris. Not Charlene. My b.
Dexter was spectacular as well. Miguel showing Dexter he wants to be a part of this vigiliante duo is really crazy. Dexter has a baby on the way! But who knows what Miguel will decide to do in the future. We're only 6 episodes into this season, with 6 more to go.
Desperate Housewives, oh, how truly I love thee. However, Lynette is really getting on my nerves lately. She jumps to waaaaay to many conclusions, even if they do appear to be wrongly viewed. Dave, Edie's husband, admitted that he had a brother who was killed in prison. I'm thinking that Mike Delfino probably killed Dave's brother in prison when Mike was serving time (5 years) for his first murder, of a crooked cop. We all know that Orson also served time (3 years) in prison, but Orson isn't one to kill, even if it is self defense. He did run Mike over that one time, which is why he went to prison in the first place, but .... come on. Orson isn't a killer. There aren't that many other people that Dave would want to hurt in the community of Wisteria Lane. It's mostly women, and we all know that women and men do not mix in the prison system. They have seperate prisons for that.
Anyway, besides Dave and his possible vendetta against Mike, Carlos and Gabbi are doing alright. Frances Conroy (best known as Ruth in Six Feet Under) made an appearance as a wealtlhy woman with an itch only Carlos can scratch, now that he's a masseur. She's ready to spend lots of cash on his hands and Gabbi's fashion advice. What is she up to?
Either way, all of these shows are proving to be very entertaining. I'm always ready for more scandal, and that's exactly what I'm looking forward to tonight with the newest episode of Gossip Girl. However, Heroes won't be returning until next week, which made me freak out a little when I remembered that today. I guess I'll give NBC an extra week to film more of my favorite TV show.
