Been a long time

As the American holidays roll in like Thanksgiving and then on to Christmas, so then does a lot of what I consider to be quality TV takes a holiday with major US TV shows like Smallville, Heroes, V and the like. Of course you could say you still have top British TV like Merlin and Misfits to watch but it is not enough and let us face it Merlin is dire and Misfits is nothing special. I have been checking out Paradox on the Iplayer and that is ok I guess but I feel it is more thriller than science fiction which at first it seems to claim to be. There is also Spooks, which is pretty strong, this season and one of the few British programs I have seen that can never be described as predictable although it got rid of my favourite character.

As I write this scratching around for ideas I find myself watching tennis Philipoussis is playing if you are interested. The laptop I am writing on my original one is coughing and spluttering under the weight of the mighty Word 2k, which tells me, it is definitely on its last legs. Going to have to find myself a job soon recently my shoes failed which was a bit embarrassing to say the least.

To add to my list of silly mistakes guess who forgot to reup their World of Warcraft Gamecard, as soon as it came up saying you only have 1 minute left of game time I had a facepalm moment. Unfortunately the bills have been stacking up and they have to be paid first don’t need to be getting into serious debt problems again took me over 2 years to get out of the last ones and they caused nothing but pain and stress.

What am I doing with my life?

I find myself asking this particular question too much. It seems as if I peaked way to early with my achievements, yeah I am proud of them but I want more a whole lot more. I have to I have mouths to feed and things to do and I ain't going out on a whimper. The deal is if childhood sucks things should get better right? Well that is how I want to do things. It is Christmas time so looking for temp work opportunities but heard nothing back which is crap my CV is worth a response but alas we must perservere till things get better.

I've been trying to pay more attention to Twitter and the strange way it does thing it certainly takes some getting used to. Other than that just watching the TV shows I like and trying to stay alive and reasonably content.

More than a month huh

Crazy stuff really especially with all this controversy on British television, Antoine Du Beke using the P word, Dannii Minogue dropping a clanger on X-Factor and Nick Griffin getting time on Question Time oh and don't forget about Jan Moir and that dodgy article she wrote about Stephen Gately.

I had a plenty to say about all those things at the time but not I just feel it is in the past and there are lighter things to speak of no point in kicking off with all that stuff. I will say that the BBC coverage which I tend to see through BBC radio Five Live is starting to wind me up just the way the presenters question people they ask them the question that the interviewee just answered previously. It just promotes that please slap them response within me.

In other news it will be November soon and yes that means I will be trying Nanowrimo again it is a lot of fun. Not sure how far I will get with my heavy WoW schedule to be honest but it will be nice to form a new story and let my imagination run wild.

Twitter - I've been far more regular on that at the moment I fear I am falling for all the hype and it is a nice way to follow celebs though in my case they tend to be Internet Celebs - the best kind if you ask me.

For all you TV peeps Dollhouse starts tonight on IT4 just before Sanctuary's 3rd episode of the new season. Sanctuary is pretty good at the moment not sure where it will go from here but I am eager to see more. Heroes will be on the BBC next year which sucks to be perfectly honest as the viewing figures will be terrible. Most sci-fi fans will opt to watch in other ways instead of being 8 or so episodes behind the US and trying to dodge the Internet spoilers. Of course it must be more expensive then say Sanctuary was to pick up but you have to spend money if you want the ratings.

That is all I care to say for now.

Just some random thoughts

So on my random romp around the Internet I found this and I thought, "Hmm weird but kinda cool". Yup those were my thoughts verbatim I think someone was recording them. So take a look and see what you think.



I found it totally randomly mainly because I was trying to figure out what thing Jaime had mentioned on her Twitter feed. Other than that I just checked out a sxephil show on YouTube which made reference to Christina Hendricks who is a hottie and a redhead which is a bonus for me.

[OTHER NEWS]
Taking an enforced WoW break due to my poor financial planning certainly have no one else to blame. Still it might be for the best if the guild raid today was anything to go buy it all went to hell after half an hour of raiding which is pathetic true it was the first step up from 10 to 25 man TOTC but still we have all done it before on many occaisons so the change over should not have been that hard.

In other news I've been listening to Free Talk Live a lot recently a different view from the normal it is true but often it does make me cringe some of the things that the hosts come out with. Still it is a very popular podcast according to podcast alley.

Guild Issues

So this other shadow priest in the guild has a problem with me because I have the gift of the roll and he can easily out dps me. He does around 4k and I only manage 2.8k at most. Now I'll blame my connection but I know he probably outskills me as well but I am striving to be better and I think post a decent phoneline and connection that our dps will be getting a lot closer. However just because you out DPS someone doesn't mean you should start calling them out about it. If it happens again then I'll call him out no guild is worth taking the abuse.

Other than that I am proud of doing new content (for me) and helping my guild progress. Things are going ok but I so need a decent connection it is untrue.

"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore" I think the sentiment from a famous movie was somewhat similar. This applying for job after job only to receive the silent rejection. So I have been thinking about education I even grabbed some booklets from The Institute. So what should I do? God knows how I will be able to get the funding for the second time round. Well I guess there is always teaching :)

--------------------
Hmm Watching True Blood Season 2 Episode 6 and just realising how hot Jenny is and it was done tactfully for True Blood just a quick show off of her in her underwear before covering up and getting intercepted by her boyfriend.

So that is about all as I sit here watching BBC News and charging my mobile phone. Wow I know it is all so damn exciting

I feel like making blog to you

World of Warcraft
Fun fun people it is Darkmoon week and here is yours truly trying to farm up mats for Darkmoon cards to give to inscribers. Yes I could try buying cards but I am already up to 6 of 8 Noble cards. To be honest all the gold farming that bought me the initial cards drove me up the wall and now I guess I am less than enthusiastic about playing. Also it seems pretty hard to break into the raid group of my guild at the moment it seems my less rigidly structured schedule is to my detriment.

TV stuff

Star Trek: Voyager
Just watched Critical Care an episode devoted to the Doctor of which there have been a few. This one was interesting though and showed the Doctor to me being as dark as he was during a very early episode when he was with Kes and a quest to get a name and personality resulted in a Jekyll and Hyde condition.


Journeyman
I am glad I took a chance on this when it came to Sky Three I left it alone as a pilot way back when because one, it sounded like a bad Quantum Leap ripoff and QL was one of my favourite TV shows back in the day and two, any fool could see that it wasn’t going to be renewed. Still it is an engaging story and I have enjoyed the show so far but compare it to say Surface or Threshold two shows cancelled well before their time and it can’t hold a candle to them.

Veronica Mars
This show is weird it is pretty much unlike any teen drama I have seen before. I didn’t like Kristen Bell in Heroes all that much but I think that is because her character was written so incredibly badly that no one was going to come out of it well. In Veronica Mars, Kristen’s character is extremely unlikeable but you still watch, yeah the token black character is a little annoying but it seems a shame to me that the show died after 3 seasons when Smallville has been sucky for so long but then I guess Smallville brings a lot of geeks to show like me who won’t stop watching no matter how bad things get.

Other stuff
Well still experiencing the joy of a duff economy i.e. currently unemployed. I find myself more and more wanting to start writing to get warmed up for nanowrimo not sure what story to commit on though I keep wavering. Some of the time I think a fighting story based around a school or college like manga or a more interesting story about a sociopath.

Tell you what though the one thing I can say for sure is I AM SO BORED IN MY LIFE AND I NEED TO MAKE A CHANGE. So sod this I am off to apply for some jobs.
