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.

alas - 103rd post (go organic!)

So, I'm three blogs behind the illusive 100th blog posting. Oh well. No celebration. No cake. I would like some cake though. I don't feel as though I wasted the 100th post on video games.

I have to admit, that when I earlier talked about my love for VitaminWater, I hadn't yet tasted my newest favorite flavor: power-c, the dragonfruit (c+taurine) beverage. It's my ultimate favorite. I bought a 32oz. bottle of it yesterday and I haven't opened it yet, which is painful. However, I still have 3 other bottles of it in the kitchen. Go mom and go wal-mart! Even if you didn't have any everything bagels. I might just have to go in there myself and do some searching.

I picked up Grey's Anatomy season 1 today at the library, and paid a $4.05 fine. So many things out and being overdue... not very penny-smart. Re-watching this show makes me realize that Meredith Grey, being the daughter of renowned surgeon Ellis Grey, follows in her mother's footsteps, saving patient after patient with her quick thinking intuition. She saved a beauty pageant contestant who had a small aneurysm that was causing her seizures. That was the first episode. All the patients she saves are quite last-minute as well. Like she gets there with the right answer, just-in-time. Although she feels like she has no clue at what she's doing - because all interns feel that way, I guess - she keeps proving herself wrong to her superiors and peers several times during the first season. Everyone is jealous of Meredith Grey, in a way. Envious, I suppose. Wanting some aspect of her life as their own.

Something that's odd about Grey's Anatomy is that it only has 9 episodes. Buffy the Vampire Slayer's first season only had 12 episodes. I guess it's not so uncommon, but I'm going to have to do some deeper digging on the subject of why there weren't the common numbers of 23 to 24 episodes per season. With this previous season's writer's strike, most seasons only had episodes numbered in the teens. 

My sister painted Buster's nails pink. I'll soon take a picture and post it, but as of right now, I need new batteries for the CyberShot. 

Yahoo! has been disappointing me lately. First, the Daily Games on their Games webpage isn't working on my computer anymore. I can no longer play Word Roundup, Hollywood Jumble, or the Daily Crossword with Hints! It's saddening because I don't own a lot of games for the Mac. Or any at all for that matter. And the dinosaur game that comes with the computer is lame and I didn't really understand how to play it. I always have the Solitaire website. It's free.

Second (on my reasons on my anger with Yahoo!), I read an article about that "lost" South American tribe many weeks ago, and tonight I find out that it was a hoax. The tribe is a real tribe; however, they weren't exactly lost, there are records on this tribe from 1910. The photographer had the tribe's best interests in mind though, he says he told the fib because he wanted to make people aware of the logging in that area of S. America and how it may affect the tribe's natural habitat. We have conservations for birds and other endangered animals like koalas and certain types of penguins, why not have conservation areas for the lost tribes of S. America. Wait - don't we have that in N. America already? I think they're called Indian Reservations. 

A week from tonight, I'll have to go to bed early, get up early (6amish) and be in Gulfport at 7:45am. I'll be doing some things I haven't done in a while: eat breakfast (other than at Waffle House), see early morning goings on.... I'm gonna have to get a full stock of everything bagels if I'm going to be eating breakfast. 

Whatever. I'm folding under pressure. If I don't show up, lets say I don't wake up (but I'll doubt that will happen since I'm living with my parents.). Well, if I don't show up I'm going to jail, so that sounds like a lose-lose situation to me. 

Ah, and I only mentioned it in passing, in a not really serious kind of way, but I did want to talk to my friend W about living together in Oxford during the Spring semester. We should probably do some chatting about that. Also, my bff L is a hoebag.

I ate the final everything bagel today. It was delicious. 

(Later 1:09am - I really want an everything bagel right now.)
