I don't get it. Seriously. Was JJ Abrams just so consumed with Lost this year that Alias has turned to bunk? Well, tonights season premiere was alright "Alias-ness" wise... but these plot twists suck. Why the heck would you kill off one of the central characters? Why the heck can't Sydney Bristow just be happy for once?!?!? Now I realize that there is a lot behind these decisions: 1. Perhaps it was Michael Vartan's decision to leave - perhaps the rumors that he was no longer able to work with Jennifer Garner now that she's married to Affleck are true, but I am pretty dang sure he had another year on his contract. 2. And of course they had to play Jennifer's pregnancy into it somehow... but it all felt a little cheesy. I guess I'm just ticked off because I really like Vaughn in the show, and I realize that this rant indicates me as a total junkie but for the sake of the show - why put Sydney through all of this??? She'd already lost one fiance... then she goes missing and her boyfriend gets married... then when things start going right with Vaughn and they finally decide to get married, he up and dies... and dies right after she finds out that he has had some shady history and is a possible spy - all leaving these unanswered questions that just make my blood boil.
Alright... I officailly need a life.

sick, klutz, impatient
Those three words describe me perfectly...
SICK: I have been sick with this horrible cough for the past two weeks. Just as I am getting over it (thanks to the really strong medicine my Dr. gave me), I get the hugest migrane headache. The first time this has ever happened to me. I woke up yesterday thinking I had the hugest hang over ever - then realizing that 'oh yeah, I don't drink... and now I know why'... so I was in bed pretty much all day as my head was splitting open and my stomach was protesting the dizziness whenever I stood up. But today, no headache. Wierd. I hope it doesn't come back.
KLUTZ: I was in charge of cooking for the Women's Retreat this weekend... and I blame it all on the drugs I've been on, but I broke 2 spoons, lit a hot pad on fire, and burned my arm. But really, I'm just a huge klutz.
IMPATIENT: My computer is fixed, but is in limbo somewhere on a UPS truck. I want it back!!!!
Oh yeah - the Coldplay concert rocked my face off! And I was pleasantly suprised by a random encounter with another Camp China Team Leader - crazy to run into him there!

blog hopping
alright alright alright
I know it looks like I'm very non-commital. Those of you who have followed my blogging career over the past two years might have some doubts. I realize this is my third blog spot in that amount of time... and there is nothing against xanga or livejournal... it is just that I needed a change of pace. A change of scenery. A new look. Sometimes you just want something new. And I thought a new blog page might be a bit better than say, a new car that I can't afford. Alright alright... I'm beginning to justify something that doesn't need justifying.
And so begins my new blog - welcome! Enjoy the ramblings and randomness that is my life. Glad you could stop by. Sit and stay as long as you like. Post responses - I love feedback. And thus I will commence with a few random thoughts:
1. If you own a laptop computer... I strongly suggest that you never sit it on the armrest of your sofa or any other place where it could be perceived as being in a precarious position. I say this because theoretically it could fall off. And theoretically it could wind up with a crack in the LCD. And theoretically it could cost $400 to fix. Yes... $400 and a few weeks in the shop. In Michigan.
2. If you enjoy scary movies or if you like thinking about the "unknown", I suggest you spend your hard earned dough and get "Lost" Season 1 on DVD. Though I liked the show when it aired on TV, there is something much better about seeing several episodes in a row with surround sound and no commercials. Seriously - it is like they created a movie that is 20 hours long. JJ Abrams and crew did it again. AND if you enjoy DVD extras - this set has at least 6 hours worth of behind the scenes stuff. Really good. (Though "Alias" will always be my first love.)
3. I realized that I have officially become an adult when a few weeks ago I bought my very first piece of new furniture (with the help of Lanae - thanks!). And tomorrow I am going to purchase a washer and dryer. I have suddenly been thrown into adulthood at 26... so this is what it feels like!
