Believe it or not, but I’m not a fan of sunny skies everyday. I absolutely enjoy the thundering and lightening and rain on those few days a year that we get them. Like today for example. The thundering was a welcome sound. It did get rather loud and shook the house but I still enjoyed it.

Now if only it would rain. Here comes the rain. Okay now that was disappointing. It wasn’t even enough rain to wet the grass.

I finally got my internet working the way it should. It turns out I needed filters on two of the phones in the house.

I went to Wal-mart and I was completely in awe that the store is starting to put out Christmas decorations! IT’S NOT EVEN OCTOBER!!! The shelves weren’t completely stocked but seeing christmas tree decorations this early is outright frightening. I was hoping to have at least another month before the madness of the shopping season starts.

I don’t get why I stress so much. I give everyone I know gift certificates. It only takes a couple of minutes to buy those.

I was going to blog about voting but it seems so irrelevant today. Maybe I should start it now so that when it comes to actually voting in November I can post it and be done.

I hate commercials when I’m watching a show I really like. I’m so happy to have descent tv again.

The Bailout was denied!!!

Wow. Okay, so the red head terminator has a daughter. So, somehow in the future, the robots decide to live like humans or something. Here’s the clue that made me come to this conclusion. The red head tells the FBI agent that the helicopter her and her husband had flown in the day the helicopter crashed was almost perfect. The FBI agents asks her why she said the helicopter was “almost” perfect and her response was “the helicopter needs a human to run it.”

What a wonderful show.

Now for Heroes.

How does Mama Petrelli expect crasy Sylar to work with Noah? Come on. I wouldn’t want to be within a solar system of that crackhead. Mama Petrelli is Sylar’s birth mother.

I’m going to have to blog about this tomorrow. I want to just enjoy the show. Later.

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.

I attempted to drive over Musical Road (Ave K between 60th and 70th) today but it was paved over. I wish I had known about it sooner it seems like it would have been quite the sound.

I didn’t get any of my homework done today. I had to leave the house for 4 hours because we set of a couple of insect foggers. There was quite an ant invasion in the past couple of days. I’m hoping this will send the message to the ants to stay the heck out of the house.

I went to see a movie. Babylon A.D. It was terrible. It seems a good story line is hard to come by or necessary in movies today. I think I’m going to forbid myself from going to see movies for the next year unless it’s a classic.

I think the problem is, people aren’t studying the craft of story telling, which is why Babylon A.D. had extravagant fight scenes and special effects to make up for the bad storyline of the movie.

I just finished watching War of the Roses. I really like this movie. I don’t feel like going into what I liked about the movie but I liked it. I don’t see movies like that anymore.

In my exhile from home for 4 hours, I went to Panera Bread in Lancaster to do some reading (I left my laptop at home because I didn’t want to leave it in the car while I watched Babylon). Panera was really nice. I think Panera Bread learned something about it’s Palmdale location because the Lancaster Panera Bread has a much better layout. I’ll definitely be hanging out in Panera Bread more often.

I’ve bee having the hardest time getting into class the past month, but I haven’t been able to log in at all today and I have homework due. I’m going to have to post big time tomorrow to try to make up for my homework being late. I should have done my homework Thursday night and turned it in then. Urgh!!!!

I missed the first presidential debate. Dang, dang, dang.

I got my discharge certificate over a week ago and forgot to blog about it. I can’t believe I forgot. I had planned on taking a picture of myself holding my certificate but I’ll have to do it when

I forgot what I was going to write about already. I think I suffer from Alzheimer’s.

I really wish I had watched the presidential debate.

I think I want to lose 5 pounds. I’ve lost about 15 pounds since Afghanistan thanks to a bug I got from the food I ate over there. I was miserable because it would take a couple of days before I recovered. I still didn’t lose much of my gut. Most people can’t tell but it’s really noticeable when I’m sitting because I completely relax my abdominals and my gut pops out. I need to start running again.

My mom cut her hair really short but I can’t tell if I like it or not because I wasn’t wearing my glasses and it was dark when I was in her presence. I guess I will get to look at it in the morning or something. I wonder if she wants my Curlz shampoo.

I have to wash my hair tomorrow. I’d like to think of it as more of a self-inflicted wet torture as I hate washing my hair because of the mess I’ll have to deal with once I get out of the shower. It hasn’t been to bad for the last ten years because I discovered braiding and banding. I part my hair in four sections and then I braid and band. My hair isn’t so tangled but I still manage to pull out more than a handful of hair in the process.

My hair has grown a lot since I cut it last October. I think I’m going to make an appointment to get my hair done when it finally cools down some more.

Season premier night on ABC. Looks like there’s a new show I can’t wait to see. I think this might be a potential show spec scripting. I can’t remember the name of it. (That’s typical.) I don’t remember what it’s about. (Typical as well.)

I wanted to blog about sex and why there’s so much of it on tv. I hate how when people are supposed to be in love, they just hop in bed. Yuck. Why can’t they just bake some oatmeal craisin cookies.

Republican rebellion. This bail out deal is getting really ugly. I think we should wait and let the economy correct itself. Maybe then people and banks will be a lot smarter about lending and loans and mortgages.

Speaking of mortgages. Last year around this time I had gone to see about qualifying for a mortgage to purchase a condo. I was approved, but there was no way I was going to be able to make ends meet, even if I had a roommate and got a second job and only ate Top Ramen for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Back to tv. The season premier of Desperate Housewives is this Sunday. Apparently, this season takes us to 5 years into the future. That’s an interesting way of making the show more interesting. I can’t wait to watch it.

Rose is not pregnant. So what conflict is Meredith and Derek going to go through this year? I really wish Izzy would just get used to being single. I thought tonight’s season premier was boring. Totally random thought’s about Grey’s Anatomy.

I had to make a couple of stops after work which bit into my homework/blogging time. I had to get a power of attorney to my aunt so she could sign the paperwork for when escrow closes on a house I bought.

Just a quick note about the latest episode of one of the most boring shows tv. Why would a girl who claims to know about sex want to use a condom that’s been stored in a wallet for five years? Condoms have expiration dates. She’s so not ready for sex.

I’ve been trying to find some clip art to use in the pictures on in my mobile me blog.

I feel so fat watching 90210. I can’t wait until my favorite shows return so I don’t have to watch garbage.

Well, I’m off to be for some much needed sleep to get me through tomorrow.

I wish I had the energy to blog about the government bail out plan. I think its totally BS but that’s just me. I hope all this crap doesn’t affect my tax return.

Bravo McCain. I don’t need to hear anything about what he thinks he can do. I want to see action. Less talk, more action.

My Japanese Akita, Keiko, is in heat and my Chow (Nick) has been bugging the heck out of her. He whimpers and tries to mount her and she snaps at him to get him to back off. Dogs. The only thing Keiko gets out of it is some doggie cunnilingus. She doesn’t turn him down for that.

I don’t have anything to blog about today. I’m going to go to bed early. I hate being tired at Thumb Twiddle.

I wish I had more time to read. I could use a good book right now.

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

I don’t have anything to report. It’s 8:30 p.m. and I’m still not done with my paper.  I’m 300 words short and but I haven’t written my conclusion so there’s still hope. I hope this paper makes sense. I really hate writing about simulations.

I plan to hit the sack before 10 p.m. I need my rest. I’m going to have to leave work early so I can come home to finish my paper.

Well, let me have my desert so I can hit the sack.

I can’t believe I don’t have anything to blog about. This is worse that not remembering what I wanted to blog about.

Day 264

I procrastinated big time today with my paper. I’m usually more than half-way done by now but I haven’t even made a dent. It’s a good thing I still have tomorrow. Motivation is really hard to come by.

I can do it. Only three more classes after this. I can do it. I can do. I know I can do it.

The little Shavonne who could.

For some reason, all I want to do is sleep. I usually only get this way when Flo comes to town but she came almost a week ago. I’m hoping it isn’t the Valley Fever acting up. Fatigue is one of the symptoms.

Escrow closes on that house I bought in Michigan. I’ll be a home owner on Monday. If things play out the way I hope they do, I will have many houses. I would like to buy nine more houses next year. I have to first worry about getting the house that closes escrow on Monday rented before the year is over.

I went to see Lakeview Terrace. It was a good movie. I would hate to live next door to someone like Abel. Anyway, there were moments where I liked Abel but he seemed to get too caught up in his own anger and unethical dealings. I still didn’t quite get what his issues were with his interracial couple neighbors. Other than what he said in the bar about his wife’s death, it was all speculation; however, I think there was a logical explanation as to why his wife was riding with her boss mid-day. Several actually and if Abel was such a prick with his wife as he seemed to be with his children, then I can understand why he suspected his wife was having an affair at the time of her death.

It sure is getting darker faster. I hate daylight savings time. In a few weeks, I will gain an hour of sleep but lose an hour for turning in my homework. Gotta love that.

Cash flow balances. I’m learning a great deal in this class on resource optimization. I’m pretty good at handling my own finances, which is why I’m usually never short on cash when there’s an emergency I need to take care of. I don’t have much business experience, so I have to rely on my instincts for handling my own finances to get through the course.

I need to get a some writing done on my paper. I want to shut down by midnight so I can get up early and continue with my paper. I plan to do some studying in Panera Bread tomorrow with a friend.
