Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
I cannot describe my confusion over the TSCC. It seems like Fox is preparing to take TSCC off the air and the show is getting really, really good. The show is my favorite show on tv right now.
I just have this feeling this will be the last season of TSCC despite next weeks episode only being a season finale instead of a series finale. I wish they hadn’t killed of the eye candy. His death wasn’t all that memorable. Just a bullet to the head. Couldn’t the writers have come up with a more dignified or dramatic way for John Connor’s uncle to die? A bullet to the head. What a shame.
I went to a Buffy meetup group last night. It was interesting. I never thought I would be surrounded by people who loved Buffy that much. I’m going to have fun hanging out with them. Maybe I’ll even get an opportunity to meet Joss Whedon at one of the Buffy events.
That’s all I have to say about tv. Dollhouse is on and I want to try to watch it. I fell asleep watching last week’s episode.
Random
It seams I completely forgot what I was going to write about.
I logged into the IndieSOS forum tonight to read a post about blogging. So far, I’m the only person besides the administrator(s) to post a blog at the forums. It’s a little disheartening since the organization provides the blogging feature to members for free. I’m totally taking advantage of it because I want to get into screenwriting and it seems natural to write.
Anyway. I’ve been thinking a lot about the script(s) I’m going to be writing next month. I think I’m going to start writing the spec script now and then work on the feature script in April. I verify with IndieSOS at the end of this month so I’m hoping to meet some actors who will inspire me to write a short feature film. I’ve read a few directors, like Spike Lee, often write for specific actors in mind.
I went to Yang Chow’s on Sunday with my mom and two of my cousins. My cousin R suggested I join a theatre group. Ha! Not into acting though the pay is good when you can get the work. I’m too private of a person (coming from someone posting intimate thoughts on a public blog).
I watched an interesting commercial last night. It was Mary Kay. It seems the company is looking to attract more sales reps. Now, I don’t mean to write about MLM, but now is the time to get into it. Recessions and high unemployment are the key elements for increased profits with MLM companies.
I just felt like writing about MLM.
As far as shows I really like on TV. I’m really liking Lost and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I’m still not sure about Dollhouse. I wasn’t impressed with the series premier but the show is starting to grow on me. I hope Terminator and Dollhouse will be on next year. For some reason, I have this feeling the shows will be cancelled. Who watches tv on a Friday night?
Dollhouse
I don’t know what to think about Dollhouse. I found it rather confusing. I’m hoping the show will get better. It really isn’t like me to not like a Joss Whedon show. Buffy was great, Angel was great, and Firefly was the shiznitz.
Dollhouse is nothing like My Own Worst Enemy. At this point, I can say I liked My Own Worst Enemy better but hopefully things will change. I really, really want to like Dollhouse.
As for Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, I loved Friday’s episode. I’m still furious about Fox moving the show to Fridays (who watches tv on Fridays?) but I will get over it now that I can watch the show over the Internet. What I liked about Friday’s episode is bringing some of the short-lived history between Sarah and Kyle Reese. I love romance of the twisted kind. He’s been dead for years but yet Sarah still carries a torch for a man she only spent a couple of days with. I’ve never experienced that.
I’m still trying to figure out the deal with the Red head. Is she good or is she bad? It seems she’s trying to change the way terminators operate. Does she want to live like humans? Does she want her kind to be more human?
Anyway, apparently men don’t care if a woman’s eggs are fresh or not. They just want to be able to make an omelette. So, there’s no need to be paranoid about the freshness of my eggs. And younger guys like older women.
Day 353
I goofed around today. I didn?t have to go to work because of the snow storm yesterday. I had the whole day to work on my two assignments and I didn?t. All I worked on was my discussion questions.
Procrastination is my twin.
I just had to finish watching the last four episodes of Buffy season 7. I just love the series finale. It?s the best I?ve ever seen. Brilliant. The best ever!!!!!
I can?t wait to see what Joss has in store for Dollhouse. The show is going to be good. I can feel it.
Anyway. I will have to wait until January before I can see the show. Seven episodes will air and hopefully the show will get picked up permanently. It better get picked up permanently as I?m tired of seeing Fox sh!t on Joss. Firefly was one of the best shows to grace the small screen and Fox canned it. CANNED IT.
I have a grudge against Fox despite my adoration of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Anyways. I?m gearing up for Script Frenzy. I will attempt to write at least two tv scripts in 30 days. Wish me luck. I just have to get done with school so I can start the next phase of my plans to make a life change.
I was surfing the web and came across someone?s blog (I can?t remember) and read something about a web browser designed specifically for ?African-Americans.? WTF? Fricken ridiculous, right?
Black folks love to self segregate.
I just don?t get it. Moving backwards.
Day 351
I think I may have mentioned I watched?An Inconvenient Truth, that documentary by Al Gore. I thought it was interesting and I?m not sure I believe everything the documentary had to say. For example, I don?t believe man can stop global warming. Also, even if man didn?t invent the technology that?s contributing to the destruction of the Earth, I still think global warming would still occur, if that?s what is indeed what?s happening.
Take for instance the issue of carbon dioxide, which is a gas man and every other air breathing animal on the earth exhales. The simple act of billions of people breathing (and farting) contribute to the high levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Granted, driving around cars doesn?t help, but can you imagine if man rode horses and donkeys instead of driving cars. How much air passes through a horse in one day? Imagine millions or billions of horse and the smell of it all. Do you even know what a horse smells like?
Anyway. Enough about global warming. I totally missed Terminator last night. I can?t believe it either as I thought for sure the show would be on break until January or even February. But it was good tonight. I think I?m going to write a spec script for the show. It?s not an ABC show but danggit, it?s a good show and I would love to be a writer on a show I really care about.
Tonight?s episode is good in the sense that we finally get to learn about Riley (John?s girlfriend). I thought for sure I detected jealousy from the fembot (Cameron) but I?m not sure. Fembots are hard to read because they are not motivated by sex and all, just the desire to please their men. Sounds like sex but it isn?t but obviously John was starting to look at Cameron in that way horny teenage boys look at anything with breasts and a vagina. I mean he could sleep with her all the time and never worry about STDs or pregnancy. Cameron would be a nymphomaniac?s dream.
You know, I watched a couple of episodes of the Bionic Woman back when it was still on the air and I think I lost interest. I think the show conflicted with another show I enjoy watching. I don?t remember but I guess the show wasn?t that great if I can?t remember why I stopped watching it or why I completely forgot about it. It did have potential though.
Day 330
36 more days until the new year! Yeah baby! I can?t wait. The end is near. The end is near.
Now I didn?t do any blogging last night about Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, but it seems Blondie (Riley) is actually from the future and she?s in the present to divert John?s attention away from his fembot (Cameron). I suspect John and Cameron somehow develop a romantic relationship. I mean, she wouldn?t be valuable if she couldn?t feel, right?
Which got me thinking about my manbot (if it was ever possible to have one). He would be silent type, good with his hands, and have great man nipples, and strong arms. He?d look like Matthew McConaughey or Gerry Butler in 300. Totally hot!
I went to Panda Express today, what you see above is what was in my fortune cookie. What the heck does that crap mean? Couldn?t the dang cookie just give me some winning lottery numbers?
I have no idea of what else to blog about. I have to get up early and run to the post office and then I have to work on my resume packet for that job I?m applying for. I have until the 15 of December to get it done but I think I want to get it in the mail this weekend. The quicker I can get away from my current employer the better as I?m just miserable.
Why couldn?t that dang fortune cookie give me some winning lottery numbers?
Day 322
I was going to blog about something serious, like about Obama?s BS bailout for the GM or this article I read about the Duggar family. I have the energy to make a coherent thought. I?m tired and a little worn out.
I had the worst day at work. Someone wore too much cologne and it gave me a headache. I was in a nasty mood all day. I just really feel like smacking somebody. Like really, really hard. Maybe I should call that 1-800 number the Army gave me when I got out.
Here?s to finishing week 1 of class #2 and week 6 of class #3.
?I have sensation. I can feel. I wouldn?t be worth much if I couldn?t.? – Cameron, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
I have no doubt in my mind John Connor sent his younger self a fembot for a companion. Unreal. I could be just reading more into it but it was the look in young John Connor?s face that made me think maybe he did send her back to be his companion. It?s not like he?ll be able to keep a relationship with Blondie.
I still really like Terminator. I think it?s much more entertaining than Heroes.
I don?t have anything to write about. And I?m totally bored with Comic Life Magic. I think I?ve reached burnout for my blog graphics. I?m tired of recycling.
Let me get to bed. I have to drive myself to work because my carpool is sick. I hope she feels better.
Day 294
OMG! I?m watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I just saw Brian Austin Green without his shirt on.
I?ve been reading some stuff over the Internet about the possibility of Terminator having poor ratings. I have to wait another two weeks before I see any new episodes of Terminator.
Whatever happened to seeing new episodes every week? What?s with the extended breaks?
Dang, Mohinder is a sexy crazy dude now. Like Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. Only sexy.
Peter is sexy, too. But I think he?s because he has all those powers. I completely lost that Mo? Betta feeling after his powers were sucked out of him.
If I ever have a son, I?m going to name him Peter.
Playskol has a dream town collection. I totally wish I had had something safe like that as a kid. My kitchen stuff was made of metal and would pinch my fingers.
I really don?t have anything to blog about.? I tried to refrain from turning on my computer but I couldn?t resist. I think I?m addicted which is not a good thing. When I finish school, I plan to seek help with my addiction to being on the computer. It would help if they didn?t design such wonderfully good programs to use.? Computers and all the cool programs that come with them totally suck.
Day 272
Last night, or I should say very early this morning, several police cars drove at high speeds just outside the subdivision I live in.
I don?t think anything that happened was out of the ordinary. Probably just some drunken teenagers. But then again, the Antelope Valley is a dumping ground for convicts and gang bangers so….
This weekend was not fun at all.
I watched a very clean version of Kill Bill Vol. 1 on TBS. It?s a completely different movie. Who could forget the infamous Pussy Wagon? Well, on TBS, the Pussy Wagon in Kill Bill was turned into the Party Wagon. I didn?t even get to see that really old jar of vasoline. They edited the heck out of the movie.
It?s like watching Sex and the City on TBS isn?t the same either. Every episode is edited from it?s orginal version. If you aren?t familiar with the show, I can imagine you?d think the show was incredibly stupid. I don?t even know why they?d show a movie like Kill Bill or show like Sex and the City on TBS. Not even worth watching.
Palmdale and Lancaster have been getting a lot of mention in different shows and movies. Lancaster is where A.T. sent his two kids for the summer in Lakeview Terrace. And it seems Palmdale will be the location of the next episode of Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Day 266
Only 100 days left of 2008. What a milestone. I?ve blogged everyday for the last 265 days and I will continue to do so until next year.
I wish I didn?t have school because if any year was going to be a year for non-stop blogging, it would be this one. The olympics in China, the presidential election, my rebirth and whatever else I exciting to blog about.
I?m hoping I will have more to blog about next year as I totally plan giving my entire life a make over. The first thing I?m going to really put 150% effort into is my employment. I plan on leaving my current employer by June the latest.
But enough about all that.
Tonight is the season premier of Heroes. I?m totally heartbroken as I now have to decide between Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Heroes. The choice would be easy if I had a dvr. I could record both and then watch when I have the time. This time last year I didn?t have this issue as I was able to watch my favorite shows online; however, my internet connection is slower than dial-up and I have the hardest time doing simple things like logging into school or checking my email.
I?ve lucked out. The season premier of Heroes is at 9 p.m. Yes! I can watch Terminator.
I just a preview of RockNRolla starring Gerry Butler! Yes. I?m going to see that movie just because he?s in it. So scrumptious.
John is going to have one hell of a time getting rid of Cameron if she turns into a stalker fembot. There?s something seriously wrong with a fembot when she starts saying she loves a guy. That?s all I?m saying.
I just realize the two shows that I don?t feel like I can live without (or at least are good enough to replace Buffy) are the two shows that aren?t on ABC.
Cameron and the blonde (Riley) are at a standoff. Will Riley tell Cameron where John is? Will Cameron get to John in time?
Oh shoot. Next week?s Terminator is going to be good.
Time for Heroes.
Oh dang. Dang, dang, dang. Oh. Dang.
Peter Petrelli is hot! There?s something about a guy with a facial scare and dressed in black.
Yeah, Mohinder is a hottie, too. However, what kind of name is Mohinder? Can you imagine screaming that name during mind-blowing sex?
Oh, Mohinder!
Ooo, Mohinder!
Oh, oh, oooooooh Mo-hin-der!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whatever. He?d have to change his name.
?Eat your brain? Claire, that?s disgusting.? – Sylar, Heroes
I think I?ve blogged enough about tonight?s shows. Oh, dang. I didn?t know we?d have two hours of Heroes. Another late night for me.
Oh. It seems one heroine will get to scream out Mohinder?s name. He, he, he.
?Oh. You are different.? -Maya, Heroes
Day 259
Okay, I?m not really into the whole cheesy into to Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
John cut his hair in the last episode. He looks all grown up now.
I just love this show. It ranks right up there with Buffy.
Okay, so who is the blonde? Will she be the one to drive fembot (Cameron) to a jealous rage? (I doubt this will ever happen because that?s more drama than sci-fi but it is nice to speculate.)
Brian Austin Green is so dang hot with his aged spread. I tell you, men look better when they gain weight and age. Too bad he?s a baby daddy.
I don?t feel like blogging today. I wish there was something worth reading on the Internet.
I swear the Terminator isn?t long enough. This show should be 2 hours long. I find myself a little puzzled by the events of the show. I now know how Sarah came to be with cancer as she apparently dies somewhere in the timeline (the robot says 2005).
I really don?t have anything to blog about. This totally sucks. I?m more than half-way through the year. Why am I reaching blogger burnout now?
Have you seen that Dominoes commercial with the rapping pasta? When I see that commercial, I think of it as more of a message that says death to hip-hop rather than buy Dominoes pasta. The parents freak out when they see the pasta and when junior starts talking slang, that?s when good ole dad (or is it mom?) takes out rapping pasta with a tennis racket.
I?m okay with that. Too bad the commercial didn?t show a black family with the dad reacting to protect his children from the vile that is rap.
On the news, it seems banks are failing left and right. I went to check on my retirement accounts and they?ve lost quite a bit of money. It?s scary but at the same time if you have the money to invest, now is the time to do it. You just have to make sure the institution you do your investing with is insured.
There was also a memorial for the people who died in the Metrolink crash. I would still consider riding the metro. If it?s my time to go, then it?s my time to go. Nothing can stop that. The thing is, I don?t want to commute. I would like to be able to walk to work or work from home. The ideal is to work from home.
I wonder if Hurricane Ike has anything to do with the slowness of the Internet. I can?t log into anything.
Day 252
Tonight is the season premier of the Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles. I love this show. I?m not sure I like the red head. I think they picked the wrong actress to play whoever this red head is supposed to be.
Okay. I?m not going to do much blogging tonight because I have to get some sleep. I am going to watch this show and go to bed. Hopefully, I will have something to write about tomorrow. I doubt it but there?s no reason not to be hopeful.
How many car accidents are they going to get in? Does Sarah not know how to drive? The show is good. I know it is possible for John for fall for a robot. You know why? Because millions of women fall in love with battery operated buddies (B.O.B.). Only his B.O.B. is a whole woman. I?ve already blogged about how it isn?t fair that he gets a fembot while we women only get a dildo.
I?ve got a confession to make. If I could actually carry a tune, I?d be a country singer.
Back to the Terminator.
John needs his walking, plastic pootytang. I knew he wasn?t going to kill her. The one thing I?ve noticed about men, they are just as strung on love as women. Men get a whiff of that sh!t called love or really good, tight and wet pootytang, and get they stupid.
Just wait until this fembot gets pissed off. John is going to be sorry he let her live.
Dang. Now I know who the red head is. Fox must have allotted more money for this show. Sweet.
On a side note, I really thought I was going to hate typing on the keyboard that comes with the iMac. However, typing on it is a breeze. And I cannot describe to you how much easier the big screen is on my eyes. No more squinting. I do miss my laptop and so I will probably plan an excursion this weekend to an Internet cafe to work on my school work.
Good night.
Day 66
I’m going to admit, I have very little interest in shows featuring black characters as the lead characters.
I used to watch Girlfriends until Toni decided she wanted her ‘girlfriends’ more than she wanted her husband. I didn’t understand that. Not only did she choose her ‘girlfriends’ but she decided she didn’t want to be a mother, too.
Then when her husband wanted custody of the baby, Toni decided she wanted the baby. WTF? That whole story line really ticked me off so I stopped watching the show.
I watched an episode of Soul Food where Bird decides she wanted to abort her unborn child because it dawned on her that she married a thug. This is the other thing that got me, her thug husband had turned his life around and was successfully running a grocery store, which was owned by Bird’s family! So, I stopped watching that show, too. I have the first season on DVD, I doubt I will buy the others (if they ever make it to DVD).
I pretty much only watch science fiction shows now. I’m a huge fan of Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles. I absolutely love Heroes. I can’t wait for that show to come back. I think Monica Dawson, the black female character on the show with the power to imitate after watching it, won’t last very long on the show. I wonder if Monica will be able to regenerate if she watches Claire or fly if she watches Peter. I suspect her power is limited to only those abilities that can be learned rather than genetic. I still like the implicit meaning behind her character-you can do anything if you put your mind to it. All you need is for someone to show you how.
Day 64
I’m going to keep this post short because I really need to get to bed and get some sleep. The fatigue is really starting to get to me.
I had the most horribly busy day at work. My day will get just as busy tomorrow but enough about work.
School is going. It’s not great it just exists. I got into it with my instructor over his grading policies. I haven’t logged into class yet to see his response.
I don’t know if I’ll be able to go without a break in school. I think I may need to take a couple of weeks off, the only thing is my family will want me to spend that time with them and I really don’t want to any air traveling unless it’s out of the country. Sitting in someone else’s house for two weeks doesn’t appeal to me.
I was totally grossed out by Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Why are they trying to start a romance between John and Cameron? Sure Cameron isn’t really John’s sister, but that’s how they are passing her off as on the show. Gross isn’t it? Not only that, but to fall in love with a robot? I know that must be every man’s fantasy. She’s pretty, she’ll never age or get fat, and she’ll do whatever you want her to do.
You know what sucks about all this? Men get fembots, women get vibrators. Men get the imitation of a whole woman, while women just get the diques.
At least they have some eye candy on the show. Brian Austin Green. Yumm-ee. He’s come a long way from his Beverly Hills 90210 days.
Day 56
I finished my paper and turned it in. I’m feel so relieved. Now on the the team paper for next week.
For the past couple of years, I have been fascinated by stories involving robots. I’ve been meaning to read books by Isaac Asimov
I just finished watching Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles. I love this show. The season finale is next week. It seems a little soon since the show just started in January.
If I was the type of person who liked to talk on the phone, I would have an iPhone right now. I just hate phones. I don’t like the fact they make noise and I have to hold them to my ear. I know they have ear pieces but I don’t really like talking on phones enough to get an ear piece. LOL.
I need to get some sleep. I have to get up early in the morning to put a load of laundry in the dryer.
Day 49
I need to work out. I’ve got like 20 inches of extra skin on my waist. I would consider this somewhat normal for a woman of child-bearing age, but I don’t plan on having children so having all this extra skin is unnecessary.
I have to get my taxes done. I’m don’t like getting my taxes done because I usually owe money.
When I finish with school, I plan on joining a cycling club of some sort. That means I will need to get a bike with a nice seat.
My President’s Day was boring. I finished my paper early in the day so I had the rest of the day to myself which was great. I can’t believe I have 52 more of this! How do people go to school for years? I like learning but I like my “me time” more.
I’m watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and there’s a flashback to where Derek Reese is sitting next to his brother Kyle Reese (the father of Sarah’s son) and he pulls out a picture of Sarah standing in front of a horse or something. That’s not the picture I remember from the movie. Sarah was sitting in a Jeep with a red band around her head. Why is that so hard to recreate? I mean, they’ve recreated everything else about the movies. Why not the picture. That’s irks me.
Ah the little details.
Day 42
I’m exhausted. The final team paper was awful but can’t dwell over that. Time to move on.
I have a 3,000 to 4,000 word paper due next Monday so I will definitely get to cranking on the assignment.
There was something I wanted to write about but I can’t remember what it is.
I hate that Monster.com commercial where everyone is rushing outside in their PJs and trying to fight the sunrise.
One of my friend’s sent me an email with the video about A Black Woman’s Smile. This video is totally depressing. My mom sent it to me and ever since then I’ve had her emails routed to my trash can.
Gosh there was something I wanted to write about. I just can’t put my finger on it.
I scheduled a doctor’s appointment because I’ve been having trouble breathing after my coughing spells. I don’t know what it’s all about but the last time this happened, the only thing that cured me was Advair.
Work today was so boring and HOT. The heater was on full blast and it was 70 degrees F outside.
Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles is an awsome show by the way. I’m so glad I turned on my tv tonight because there was a new episode! Fox on demand is great.
I’ll probably have to put off my trip to China. Some crackhead was selling secrets to the Chinese. I hope the give him the electric chair.
Day 19
I had the busiest day a work the other day. I don’t think I’ve been that busy in a long time.
I didn’t get a chance to email that guy that has a crush on me. I like him as a friend and I wish he had never told me. I want to be friends but I don’t want to encourage the feelings because I can’t return them.
I’m one year out from graduating! The days are going by so slow. I want them to be over with already. I’ve got so many plans for all the free time I’ll have.
I went to see a Tyler Perry play today (The Marriage Counselor). I was surprised to learn that one of the cast members is from Lancaster. Oh my gosh! I’m sad to report that I’m disappointed yet again. Still giving black women only two options: evil rich black man (with HIV) or average joe black man who doesn’t pay much attention to his woman. On the other hand, average joe black man’s dad got some options: old fat black woman or young skinny white chick. Guess which one he chose? Neither one of these women are bad choices but they are much better choices than were given the black woman.
Implicit meaning of this play: black women need to lose some weight and when you have a marriage that’s unfulfilling, your only other option is to get a bad man that’s bad for your health. LITERALLY!
Bottom line-the play was garbage with a Jesus kick. The Jesus part was fine, it’s the garbage, aka lack of choices for the black woman that I didn’t like. In short, I will never watch anything Tyler Perry again!!!
I just spent the last two hours watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. This is a great show, BTW. I doubt I will have an opportunity to watch the last of Heroes unless they managed to tape the entire season before the screen writer’s went on strike. That’s the only other show I enjoy watching.
