House comes on tonight. Its that episode where that cat goes and lays down in a nursing home, but will only lay with residents that are going to die. he lays down with one of the nurses, and she freaks out, fakes a siezure to get to see house. Too funny.

Sooo, Battlestar Galactica. Amazing ending. I loved it. Full of action, full of sad and happy moments. Everything you'de want from a two hour finale. And the mention of Mitochondria Eve (sp?) at the end really put a burning desire in me to play Parasite Eve again. I know story wise the two have nothing to do with each other but just the mention of the name was good enough. Great ending to a great show. Loved it. I was a bit surprised that there was no more mention of Daniel but at the same time it really didn't need to be said.

I was a bit surprised that there was no more mention of Daniel but at the same time it really didn't need to be said. Norfair, I totally agree with you! Loved the ending. I'm going to miss the show so much too. As for Daniel, they are going to have a 2hr. movie called The Plan. Maybe they will deal with Daniel in that movie? We can hope! If not, well, there's always another movie or a comic book or a an actual book. I'm sure somehow, somewhere it'll be dealt with. If not, there's always fan fiction...lol! Anyway, saw the second episode of the show called Kings last night. That show is really, really, really, really good. As great as Battlestar? No, but just an excellent show anyway. Kings has a really cool mythology, excellent acting, good scripts, and...it'll probably be canceled soon. *SIGH* The first 2hr movie did awful in the ratings. I hope the ratings are up for the second episode...but I won't hold my breath. I really want this show to last. I could see it being a great show. Hopefully, Caprica will be like Kings. If it is, I know I'll like it. We should find out in April how the show is going to be (the 2hr movie comes out on dvd then). Also saw Life and Terminator on DVD. Life was good, but Terminator was really good. FINALLY John doesn't come off as a stupid character. lol. I actually thought John was cool in this one. I'm glad they are finally changing the character; making him smarter. Hope it lasts....lol. As for real life, not much going on. I go back to college on Tuesday. Not looking forward to it. I really didn't study as much as I should have this Spring Break. No suprise there though... Oh and on Wensday I have to decide what I'll take in the Fall. Not really sure what it'll be. Hmm. Though, I know it definitly won't be Anthopology or Political Science. I'm not into either one of those classes anymore and I wish I hadn't taken them... Man, after this month, only a month and a couple of weeks in May left in this semster. Not sure what I'll do this summer. I wish I had the money to go on vacation or something, but I don't. Also, there's no real hope of getting a job around here. So, I guess it'll be me sitting at home being very very very very bored this summer. *sigh* DF2506

I didn't watch the series, but the two may have more in common than you may think. I wouldn't be surprised if Battlestar borrowed from the Japanese book named Parasite Eve, itself based upon Kadokowa Horror Bunko, in which Mitochondria Eve is the villain. SE didn't invent that Eve person. /nerd [SlightlyOffTopic] Should you be interested, there's a third PE game coming soon to PSP. www.gametrailers.com/player/43747.html

I was pissed about the Daniel thing. They played it up as Starbuck possibly being Daniel and then they turned her into a freaking Angel. Stupid people...
I loved the ending. Once they got on the planet I thought it lost some of its momentum but it was still a good ending.
I also thought about Parasite eve when they mentioned Mitochondria eve... We are such nerds.
I want the PSP Eve game actually. I hated the second game, but loved the first game. It was just a neat story. Though that damn tower and final boss at the end sucked. It was almost impossible to fight that boss.

Oh I know Square didn't invent Eve or Mitochondria eve. I'm just saying the mere mention of it in the show was enough to get me wanting to play PE again. Which I did last night. I enjoyed PE2 myself. I had heard the third one was cancelled. I don't know for sure. I'll look it up when I get home from work. Running late here as it is . EDIT>> Posting in Game chat for Parasite Eve info. So gtfo n00bs

So this weekend I started cleaning my kitchen. It wasnt in terrible shape but it needed soem attention. Well... During my cleaning I started realizing that all the dishes and stuff we have are ugly. The wash cloths are in need of replacing and lots of things just dont match.
Basically, everything in our kitchen was stuff that we had donated to us when we moved out. 10 years ago when I first lived on my own my mom bought me lots of kitchen stuff. Dish cloths, tupperware, cups and stuff. It was all this horrible plastic green stuff. Even the dish cloths were green. It was ugly. But it was free and you take what you can get when you first move out with the most gratitude you can show to the people helping you.
I have never gotten rid of any of this stuff...
BRyces mom gave us dishes. They were these terrible white plates with flowers on them. Really ugly but we loved having them.
So this weekend I went shopping. I really just wanted to new wash cloths and towels. Cause the green ones were just falling apart.
Well, $200 later I had us a brand new set of black dishes, really nice actually. Its a set for 8 people. Big plates, salad plates, mugs and bowls. Its simple and nice. I got some new tan towels for the kitchen and some nice new rags. Its a matching set with some white thrown in. I found some nice oven mits and we finally got a real salt and pepper shaker. I had this old old old huge popcorn salter as my regular salt shaker. The holes were so big any time you salted your food there would be a pile.
I found a nice set of chopping knives. Stainless steel with a nice black base. A new little rack with some now spoons and spatulas and all that stuff. I got some nice metal containers for the sugar and flower and stuff. They have these really nice glass lids.
So my kitchen went from all green and ugly things, to a nice stainless steel and black, with some tan mixed in for the cloth. I got a nice little rug and everything. I am so happy with my nice clean kitchen. It looks like a whole new room.
Next up is our bathroom. Then I might try to fix up the living room if I have any money left over.
The problem with our living room is space. its not a big room and this huge fireplace takes up so much space that we cant really change our layout at all. The TV has to go in front of the fire place because the room isnt wide enough to have the cough go anywhere else.
I have to be kind of creative here, but I would really like to show off our fireplace. its actually really nice. I just need like 3 more feet width in my living room and all would be well. *Sigh*
We cant move for 6 more months and I am just sick and tired of the way our apartment looks. I'm trying to make it look nice if we are going to live there longer. The kitchen looks fantastic, now if only we had a dining room table. lol. Those are kinda high for some of the nicer ones. I'm super picky and must have nice looking things. Bryce hates me for that but he doesn't want to participate in decorating, so damnit, its mine and I will pick what I want. Hehe.
I sound like a stereotypical gay man don't I? *sigh* I really don't mean to LOL.

Can you hang your TV above the Fireplace? They have special hangers for the older TVs, with a platform, and they have special hangers for the new LCD stuff too. Its pretty easy to find a stud, and secure it to the wall frame. This saves your floor space, and gives you some extra room. Dont invest too much in a place you are leaving behind. I know you have a bad case of wander lust, but greener pastures are ahead.
Got on the internet to ask about some moving quotes. Well, I must have landed on some public site because my phone has RUNG OFF THE HOOK! I have so many "relocation specialists" calling me, its not even funny any more. I asked for 2 companies. ABF help you move, and Mayflower. now I get all these yo yos with "Bobby's truckers" that want to move me, and dont have insurance, and dont know what the BBB stands for, and want to come to my home to do a "walk through" estimate. I DONT THINK SO! Good Grief! I am biting off peoples heads as I pick up the phone. it can be therapuetic. hehe

Im not going too crazy yet. The big furniture I am not touching until after we move. But some of this stuff has just been bothering me. And we keep saying we are moving so I have never bothered to really do much with the place. I know its only 6 months but damnit I am tired of living in an ugly house. LOL.
I think I have an idea to make my living room work. I just need to find that blasted measuring tape. God I need more space, my poor closet is stacked with all this crap.
I also need to get that carpet cleaned. Sadly the hallway is a mess due to my dog. She is old and has a hard time while we are gone. Luckily its just in one spot but its pretty bad. I shampoo all the time but nothing gets rid of it. Any suggestions?
Our friend hired a moving company out here and they totally jacked her on prices. It ended up costing about $500 because the guys were lazy assholes.
I found it might be cheaper to rent our own truck and hire someoen to load it. Is that lazy of me? Hell yes. But I am sick of moving. We helped our friend move like 5 times this past 2 years. I am sick of it. And my god this woman has like a million books.

it looks like ABF trucker are gonna get it. They drop off a 28 foot trailor in your yard, with a ramp. either YOU load it, or you pay others to load it for you. Granny used one to move out of florida. That will be about $1500 to get from point A to point B with 60 days of storage thrown into the mix. We wont be able to take custody of the stuff right away, as we will be in a rental house for about 60 days, till we get into our own house. I am NOT moving twice. The rental house has 1950s style stuff laying around that will be just fine. The couch is clean, the recliners are clean, and in good repair. I have NO problem with renting bed furniture for 60 days. That way I only have to bring my TVs, my cookware, and linens. the rest sits in storage. Once we find where we are going, they drop off the trailor and we unload it. I have found a company that will charge 3 men at 3 hours on each end for $500. They disassemble beds, cabinets, and so on, they wrap it in blanket which they supply, with thier own dollys, and stack it high and tight in the trailor for you. So, add 1k to the move, and its 2.5k to just get our crap from point A to point B with 60 days of storage. $395 for each additional month of storage. So, that is just mind blowing. What happened to the days of calling a Keg party, and having your friends drag your stuff? Last time I had friends help, I got a house full of broken things. Broken couch, broken lamps, broken hearts. it was awful, and not worth the savings. its NOT cheaper to replace things. Shit moving is expensive!

Ugh, I hate moving. When we moved into this place we had hired movers. It was costly but well worth it. They bring everything and put it where you tell them too. If you do hire movers I would reccomend buying a few cases of bottled water and keeping them in the fridges in both places. Tell em they can help themsevles to water any time. Its a difficult job they have and if you offer them that one thing they will be nicer people and you will recieve greater service. Everyone wins.
And I know what you mean about replacing old shit in the kitchen. Anything you can do to make your home cozier is good. Even if theya re just small decorations.

I don't want to move again any time soon, I've moved 6-7 times in the past 5 years, and I'm hoping to stay put for a while. Granny is back from her trip to Chicago, and everyone is happy. Spent last weekend with her, and brought my cats... my mother's cat rode Fred like a horse the entire time I was there. I really missed Granny, I hope she stays home now!

Once they got on the planet I thought it lost some of its momentum but it was still a good ending. Re: Daniel. Ya, I thought Starbuck was Daniel at first too and then, in the episode where she was playing piano with her dad, I thought her dad was Daniel. I think it would have made so much more sense for either her to be Daniel or her dad to be. But, that said, the angel thing does fit with what they did. Sure, the other two things make more sense overall, especially after what they set up, but...oh well. lol. I loved the ending too. Wish BSG wasn't over though. Going to miss that show a lot! Anyway, yesterday I went back to college. It was such a messy, rainy day out. It made me feel very tired. I didn't want to be out at all. lol. I'm ready for this semster to be over. Today, I have to get my Fall schedule set up. I hope I can get a better schedule than I did this semster... Also today: LOST! Yes! Also, Life on Mars! I can't believe there's only two episodes left... DF2506

Nah I still think Kara is Daniels daughter. Sure it was never SAID but with the piano scene plus Ellen said Daniel was an artistic man......its just a matter of putting two and two together. I never thought Kara was Daniel to begin with, mainly because they reffered to Daniel as a MAN which Kara obviously is not. I don't know what to think about the angel idea. The whole time I was expecting them to say she was resurected (being half cylon and all) but that never happened. With BSG all over and done with I don't know what I want to do on TV anymore. I havn't watched Heroes in quite a while (that show just isn't the same anymore) and nothing else on really catches my eye. I've never been too big into TV anyways. :/
