The Mastodon in the Room.

Hej hej,

***UPDATE ON MY LIFE: YOU CAN SKIP TO THE STARRED BOTTOM PART AND SAVE YOURSELF FROM THE KIND OF BOREDOM THAT MAKES YOU WANT TO STAB YOUR EYES OUT WITH FLAMING HOT POKERS JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT.***

I know. Long time no post. School started, and predictably (especially with my infamous bad luck) the shit hit the fan pretty quickly. Was so sick last weekend I couldn't even get out of bed to take a piss (hence the lack in posting...). Case and point: my two month old netbook is kaput. :/ I know, I know, been raving about the netbooks for a while now, and while I love the portability and fast internet access...I'm throwing in the towel. I'm also throwing in the towel on cheap laptops. I have had, in fact, a new laptop for each year I've been in uni. So that's three total. First one: broken by angry violent outburst at boyfriend (chucked headphones at said boyfriend, have horrible aim, shattered laptop screen). Second one: stolen by a still unidentified miscreant. Third one: a lesson in NOT buying a laptop from Best Buy. So that's one Toshiba and two netbooks down. Holly win : fail ratio? 0:3

FML.


-.- Aaaannnnddd unfortunately my adventures in Sweden and disgustingly high tuition have yet again found me broke. Literally. I have $3.80 in my bank account. Ironically, I have lost the job that I abhorred with every fiber of my being just when I needed the income the most. Well, not so much lost as moved on I suppose. But, being the devious miscreant that I am, I played off of M's reluctance to give me her full blessing on leaving and was able to convince her into paying me 8 hr/wk to help make fly food and train the other students (hence my work study would actually be given to me). And of course, because this is how karma works, I find work in an AMAZING lab (one that I have been pining after since last year...) much sooner than M had expected and the only way she knows how to deal with the 'trauma' is to 'completely cut me off'. I literally had to turn in my keys to her. Which oddly enough almost made me cry. I mean, as much as I hated working for her, she was still part of my life for 80hrs/wk for the past two summers. That and the fact that she picked me up to work for her when none of the other snobby research professors would and got me a summer fellowship. And paid me handsomely. So I guess I feel a certain measure of gratitude to her. That and as we all know, I'm kindof masochistic. That and ridiculously loyal. Well, now I'm just pissed. Because she still wants me to do fly food (FML, but how can I refuse, I need a letter of rec after all...) and is only paying me 3hr/wk for it. What shit is this?!?! That's about $20/wk + about $20/wk from my study group leader job. Aka. laptop-less for infinity. :/ Also, I just failed my first lap test (you have to pass basic skills tests before you can do anything in the lab). Best part? The other two passed it first try. -failure facepalm-

-falls on ground, beats chest, screams why to the heavens and collapses into fetal position-

On the upside- 1. Two new jobs. 2. My own apartment 3. Declared major.


...damn my list is short. O.o Also, I've found that 1. I find this conversation with myself and my non-existent fan base depressing and pointless and 2. I actually am getting annoyed with my whining. Don't worry, I will never blow sunshine out my asshole. So totally NOT that kind of person. EVER. -.-

Anyways, onto the juicy stuff:  Discussion of Bones (finally, only took me four damned months).


The Mastodon in the Room.

What a shit episode. Seriously? COME ON. Not impressed. At all. I'm sick and tired of the writers of Bones pulling these stereotypical plot twist reminiscent of Days of Our Life. (I'm going to assume that all of you who are die-hard Bones fans have already watched the episode so SPOILERS AHEAD!)

1. Angela and Hodgins procreate. Dear god why?? I mean, yes I have a infantile phobia but still, could you get more, idk ergh. touchy feely?? Is that the right way to say it? I love deep emotional exploration, but, this isn't profound at all. I don't even know what it is.

2. Booth and his new boo. Uhm. Okay, I mean, I understand wanting to bring in a new love interest to revitalize the sexual tension and the 'will they won't they' aspect of Booth and Bones relationship but I'm getting sick and tired of this loop of Bones and Booth dating different people making the single one realize how much they care about the dating one and then zwip! the single one is dating and the dating one is lusting. Jesus. How many times can you play the same melody? Furthermore, I hate the fact that Booth went from basically saying to Bren that he will NEVER love someone as much as her and then all the sudden moves on. I mean, maybe they were going for the over compensation thing...but it's just uhm, kindof shallow to me, like, really fake and unbelievable. But then again, I'm getting a bit motion sick from this whole back and forth thing. It's like watching a tennis match. You're bored to death and your wondering why the hell you have whip-lash.

3. Daisy and Sweets. Okay. Minor story line so I actually don't mind the drama. I just wanted to note that I think it's humorous though that their relationship seems to comically mirrors Booth and Bren's.

4. Cam is annoying as FUCK. I've hated her from the beginning and I will continue to hate her.

5. Hm, okay- so I don't totally know how I feel about this whole "lynch-pin" thing. I felt like at first they were going to pull the whole- Brennan is the lynch pin and her evolution this season will be bringing the team together and growing herself. And I was like, okay, boring but w/e. Then  they bust out the whole "CAROLINE is the lynch pin". I don't know. Is she?? I never thought about it.

6. The mastodon. -.- Could you make that metaphor more literal??

Nope.


Okay...I'll put up something more interesting into tomorrow's post (yes...I'm actually going to post TWICE...OCD about making up for lost posts...). I was going to do it tonight, but I got sidetracked...I was watching My Generation (which I will probably be talking about tomorrow ^^). It's 2.38 in the AM though...so yeah. I'm going to bed..


Peace.
