Watched the first four eps of “House.” It was one of those shows where I’d never seen it, and there’s people on my flist who’re nuts about it, and I wanted to know why. I think I might actually like it, although if I’d had to decide on the first episode alone? Not so much. It mostly left me cringing away everytime the camera got close to Robin Tunney (not another seizure and vile camera-dive into her body, please!), and praying that I never ever ever ever got a doctor remotely like any of the people on the show. EVER.

Luckily, it got a lot better after the pilot. There was a rough patch during the second episode, though, with the repeated spinal taps. It brought up some bad, shuddery memories. It also left me confused as to whether no one had bothered to tell the actor what a lumbar puncture is actually like…or if Omar Epps’ character was supposed to be really bad at giving them. Because the kid seemed like he was in pain to me, and. He shouldn’t have been. An LP is very, very scary, and uncomfortable, and…god, it just feels so fucked up. But mostly, its just terrifying, because someone has a needle inside you, and you can’t see them, and DID I MENTION THERE’S A NEEDLE IN YOUR FUCKING SPINE? Bweh. Heebie-jeebies just thinking about it. But, anyway, unless the doctor is a ham-handed quack, it should not hurt. And if he is…my sympathies, because its been over ten years since my second one, and I can still tell exactly where the fucktard did it.

Anyway. Looking forward to seeing more. Here’s hoping there’s no more spinal taps.

In other news…I really want to do a doll for my pyromancer. Part of it is my obsession with having little visual representations of characters mixed with just plain liking dolls. And part of it, I think, is wanting an excuse to attempt to dye a doll. I don’t know how well it would go, to be honest. I think I’d have to remove the head and dye it seperately from the body, just because of the different materials; they’d probably take the dye at different rates and to different degrees.

………do I sound as lame and boring as I think I do?

Wheeeeeeee, Advent Children arrived from Netflix! *molests it* I didn’t think I’d get it so soon, it had a long-wait notice for a while there. I will enjoy it on Gigantor, yessssssssss.

I’ve been reading the Supernatural recaps on TWP, because a large portion of my LJ flist is fucking insane about it. Also, Jensen Ackles. But I haven’t gotten UPN in about three years, thanks to the Dish Network. Or is it on WB? Doesn’t matter, haven’t gotten that in 3 years, either. How much you want to bet I won’t get their new joint network, either?

Which, really, isn’t so bad, because the existence of a network with my initials, kinda creeps me out a little.

Anyway. Been trying to decide whether I want to add it to my Netflix queue. The answer, I think, is “yes,” if only for slashy!cesty!Jensen and the slaughtering of urban legends.

I’m hungry. I shouldn’t be, since its only been, like 2 1/2 hours since I ate, but nonetheless. Meh. Maybe I’ll grab some pretzels or something….

I was trying to read Sineater, but I gave up a few chapters in. The back gave the impression that it was actually more about the sineater himself, and not about the backwoods community he lives in, where everyone who isn’t a teacher gives off a stench of “inbred and uneducated,” regardless of whether or not they’ve seen the inside of a school and/or may be related to their spouse. Possibly Ms. Massie thought that only such a community would actually harbor both a sineater and a psychotic “spiritual leader” determined to destroy said sineater (and his entire family). Which, if it was just that they believed he was, I could probably see. But she makes it very clear that its not some weird delusion on their part, he is in fact a sineater, and its passed down through his family, to each firstborn male. So, really, there is no belief here, there is knowing. Which makes them all maybe a little poor and crazy for not moving away and for any of them actually willingly breeding with the man, but does not necessitate the “I can almost hear ‘Dueling Banjos’ now” ambience that she decided to portray.

And really, the terror and the feeling him near and the “dark” and “heavy” and “strange.” WE GET IT. Even his wife is scared of seeing him. We understand, to see him is to die, dooooooooooooon’t looooooooooooooook. Can we move on now? Jesus. How about showing us how he feels, someone who once had parents, and fell in love with a girl, and had kids, and now he only comes out at night and no one can ever look at him, and his own son fucking hates him because the poor boy will one day become him, but he had to have a son, or he’d have been doomed to hell on his death bed, because he’d still have been carrying the sins of everyone else? I would like a little insight into him, please. HE actually seems like he could be kind of interesting.

But, no, please, let’s get beaten over the head with the crazy bitch and Massie’s erection for hillbilly cliches, that’s way better. Ugh. *tosses “Sineater” onto the trade-in pile*

Man. I just cannot commit to anything resembling a purchase, lately. And when I think I’ve actually made up my mind? I just sit frozen and waffle even more than I did before. Except for Lucy’s book. Somehow, I committed just fine to buying that. Beh.

I’m really very tired, and I have this horrible suspicion that I’m going to be asked to run errands.

And I don’t know why “suspicion” looks wrong, when I know its spelled right.

And FUCK YOU NORTON AND YOUR FUCKING WORM-BLOCK NOTICES. They never force themselves on top unless I’m actively typing. I can be reading something, no where near the scroll bar, and it will very nicely make itself a pop-under. But god forbid I’m actually doing something, then it suddenly needs to be The Most Important Thing On The Screen. I know it doesn’t have a brain or an ego, so why does it act like it does?

Yesterday, in the wee hours, I opened a mall store for my main KoL chara, and stocked it with my abundance of noodle dishes. I log in this morning, and the store’s empty, and I have made over 400,000 meat. 400,000! IN ONE DAY. With a buy-limit of 2! And its all gone. IN ONE DAY! Man, I wish I’d gotten A a store sooner. Also, that I had more food to sell. Also also, that meat could be turned into real money.

I bought a DVD of Green Day’s Storytellers, and, unfortunately, it freezes 40 minutes in. And not just “oh, can’t play that” freezes. It freezes, and then freezes my program, too. Bah. Luckily, the lady(?) said she’d send me a new one, and she was really nice and apologized, so someone will be getting good feedback, regardless.

My Favorite Deli could easily become just that. I’m currently craving a corned beef special. Mmmm…corned beef specia…. *drool*

Oh, look, I have a special birthday coupon from Ubisoft. Too bad I got CSI:3 like, a week ago. And oh, look, the other games I’m interested in, are on systems I don’t have. Yay. Thanks, Ubisoft!

Oh, well. I least I have a really great wallpaper.
