1. It’s the best writing and acting on television at the current time.
2. I haven’t loved a show like this since watching Six Feet Under.
3. It’s a very intense show and I found myself both screeming at the tv many times and with an increased heartrate even more times.
4. At first the characters seem extremely unlikable but you grow to love them as time goes on, not Skylar though.
5. It’s really funny, dark funny, but funny.
6. It’s all about meth, who doesn’t like meth?
7. Aaron Paul plays Jesse and you think you’ll never like this obnoxious douchebag but you do, you really do.
8. Also Aaron Paul was on Big Love (he played the eldest daughter’s eventual husband) and I remember finding him utterly unappealing on that show but on this show, I have a bit of a crush.
9. If you ever watched Malcom in the Middle I’ve heard it’s really amusing to watch this show imagining him the same guy.
Tonight is my radio show Off Topic with Gwen, we’ll be discussing the newest Star Trek movie that she nearly forced me at gun point to watch. She’s a cruel woman you know.
Speaking of Star Trek and the manly love between Kirk and Spock, I have realized I just love man love. I’m not even speaking of anything sexual, just when 2 guys really love each other. There is something so sweet about it. Like Turk and JD (see the song Guy Love) or House and Wilson. I think this is something I need to write more about.
I have a photography session on Sunday with a 4 month old baby. Do babies bite or do their heads spin? Should I wear some sort of padding or a hasmat suit?
I think the love for my new computer, my GPS and my camera may be higher up on the list than Manly Man. Is that bad?
Just when I keep thinking that blogging is pointless I find I have something I need to say and if I don’t blog it how does the world know how I feel?
What do people do when they aren’t using social networks? I don’t get it, is there other stuff to do?
It has been said that we need just three things in life: something to do, something to look forward to and someone to love.
– Unknown
I can honestly say I have all 3 of these.
I have something to do, as in my photography, it keeps me going in a way that excites me. I know I have shoots coming up and editing to do. I think that has always been something that has kept me down, not having some tangible to do other than the basic daily things.
I have something to look forward to and not just my photography shoots that bring both a mixture of excitement and terror everytime. I have a lot of plans with friends to look forward to. I even have a trip to Ireland more than a year away that I can continue to dream about.
I have someone to love and not just my husband and I love him like I’ve never loved another being on this planet. I love him more everyday. Just looking at him I still feel a bit lovesick like a teenager. I also love my babies Aurora and Pilot, they fill me with joy every single day of my life. I have my friends too, who are a huge part of keeping me balanced in this world that seems to try to do the opposite.
I love that quote, it reminds me that despite a lot of things that make me feel like I have next to nothing I really have all that matters.
For many years now I’ve relied on my father to help me with electronic purchases because I’ve never been able to afford them and he has. If you walked around my house almost every piece of electronic equipment we have has been given as a gift to me from my father. It’s been that way my whole life. I think the only things we had not purchased by him was our dvd player (those are so inexpensive these days), the iPod and our cell phones.
What has he gotten for me? My previous tv and the current tv (when the old one broke after 10 years), my camera, my lenses, my VCR (yes we still have one), my laptop and several other things that I can’t think of at the moment. If I needed something I would ask for it for my birthday or for Chanukah, that was how my life worked.
Then I realized I needed a new laptop because of all my photography work I needed one that would make it easier to work on the photos, not harder. I mentioned it to him, as I always have, and he had some ideas. He thought maybe he could give me their old one and some other suggestions. Suddenly it dawned on me, I don’t always need his help. I’m actually making money with my photography right now and I can put that towards a new laptop.
So without his advice or help we went to Best Buy and found just the right laptop. I bought this with my very own money, probably more money than I’ve ever spent on anything electronic, and I feel like I made a big step in the grown up world.
I’m nearly an adult I think, dammit, I really have to put a stop to this.
This weekend I’m having 2 awesome people over and it just so happens the three of us haven’t been together in over a decade. We were friends our first semester in college and one of the three of us didn’t come back for the next semester but that one semester really bonded us for life. I thought I’d take you on a little journey of my college years.
Why go to class when you can make phallic shaped balloon animals?
Unlike all the other nights we go out to basement parties to drink cheap beer this time we’ll do it dresses as The Crow or maybe a mouse or just maybe a Q-tip.
If you try to wash a wool sweater and end up ruining it, cut it into pieces and make a lovely outfit out of it.
Homework? What homework?
Southern Comfort? Sure, I’ll try it. Bra over my shirt? Sounds like a great idea.
Now you know a little more about me and how I became the well adjusted person I am today. Funny thing is my two friends who are coming this weekend, who btw were the ones who introduced me to that SoCo, both have children. This will be, surreal for sure.
