my day...not as fun as anticipated

[cornerofmadness]

so...i wasted my snow day grading exams and doing taxes only to find out the ones suing me, sent me a statement saying I paid like 1500 in interest. Thankfully I'm smart enough to realize which of my student loans that 1099 was for and I'm like NO, i did NOT. You'd better not tell the government that you idiots even if it IS in my favor. called them about that. Called another debt collection agency who's been calling me day and night only to find out they're looking for someone else.

Interestingly enough my endocrinologist's office called today to remind me of tomorrow's appt (as if I'm not contemplating getting a voo doo doll of him and ramming it with byetta so he can see what it feels like. trust me i know when this appt is)and my online answering machine says the call is from South Africa...how interesting.

Speaking of tomorrow, I get to show him a) yes when i take this medicine my sugar is good if not TOO low. b) i need SOMETHING to cover me at night since my body is poisoning itself by converting glycogen and my sugar raises nearly 150 points over the post-dinner reading c) in spite of eating next to nothing thanks to the nightly bouts of nausea from this medicine, i'm not losing weight. Seriously as little as I now eat, the weight should be falling off and it's not. I'm dreading tomorrow.


I think i'm just dreading a lot. Mostly it's the PMS which jacks my anxiety levels to points I can barely control them, like now. I see the ob/gyn next week... no, next week is the odontologist to see about redoing a screwed up root canal, she's the week later. Nothing like spending every night or before work hours in doctor's offices. Anyhow, I know the pills she's giving me are no longer working well and the anxiety levels are ugly as are the nightmares that go with every monthly cycle. (I'd like an explanation for that one personally) So bad so that last night I nearly rocked the mattress off the box springs they were so violent.

in happier news I watched some movies and tv once i got the boring adult stuff out of the way. My recorder crapped out about ten minutes into L&O SVU. oh well, i'll see it in reruns and L&O CI was disappointing. I watched a movie The Illusionist mjules and i talked about this one, a movie we actually agree about. THis was dull. Horribly dull, not to mention rather unbelievable. I think I made it a half hour, 40 minutes tops into.

On the other hand there's I'll confess to a touch of schadenfrauden over the last scene and imagining half my flist's faces. I could just about hear the outraged screams. While I read my friends' stories, I'm not a Claire/Peter shipper. On the other hand, I'm not sure i like all the superheros being THIS closely related even if it makes sense.

I still couldn't give a damn about Nikki. I do like Claire's mom what little we saw of her. I'm very glad Claire has Zack back. I'm not really into shipping anyone on this show since I'm not really into any of the ladies except Claire and I think she looks cute with Zack.

The best part of this week's eppy. George Takei. I can't tell you how much I loved seeing him as Hiro's father (and poor Ando, shut down again). My VERY FIRST crush as a 5 year old was a double crush (once a Gemini always a Gemini) I had no idea WHO to love more. Sulu or Spock. I still don't. I've met Mr. Takei and he's a very funny and pleasant man at conventions. I adored Hiro's solution to the problem and I liked very much seeing the old school Japanese culture depicted. Just loved those parts EXCEPT for the subtitling. Please people do not put white on pale backgrounds. There were times I couldn't read it and by no means, no matter how much anime I watch, can I pick up what they're saying without it barring a few words here and there.

And can I just say I'm adoring Chris Eccleston in this. No mzzgoddessblue I still don't think he's hot but I do love him.

*grin* I had a good laugh at the last Heroes scene, imagining the reaction of all the Claire/Peter shippers. I didn't like the ship simply because he was so much older than she was, but now I'm happy because they can get all familial and someone will pet Peter and tell him he's a good boy.

George Takei = love. I mean really. And the fact that his rental car's license plate was NCC-1701 had me giggling for a good minute.

Why can't Niki just die? Seriously, DL should've just killed her when he had the chance.

*runs off for Heroes icon lovin'*

half my flist are Paire shippers and it bothered me for the same reason it did you. I mean I'd have no trouble with it if she's 23 and he's 30 something but a high school girl, yeah that bugged me a bit.

Oh yes that slayed. George is just great. I loved him on Psych last year too.

I'm all for Niki being the one to die (and stabs TV Guide for spoiling half the freaking show for me)

[mzzgoddessblue.livejournal.com]

I love Niki. She's actually one of the most interesting characters for me. She's the only one who has a 'power' that started out as evil, where she's not an evil person herself (as opposed to Silar). She's struggling more than any of the others due to the nature of it. Plus the fact that 'Jessica' was her sister has me wondering if it really is a power, or if she's a simple case of multiple personality.

(and TV Guide hasn't spoiled me cos we don't get it here, so don't spoil me!! this is actually one of the very few shows that I don't want to be spoiled for - although the claire & nathan thing was accidently spoiled for me)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I think you are the first person I've talked to who doesn't want Nikki dead. She could die tomorrow and I wouldn't miss her. I think that's because I've seen this kind of thing a lot of time in horror and comics and what not

don't worry, I don't hand out spoilers. they make me frown

[mzzgoddessblue.livejournal.com]

really?? i didn't think niki was that hated. i love her. have loved her from the start. i can understand tho if her character does die cos I can't see how she could be redeemed, with all the stuff Jessica has done. but i think she's fabulous.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well she's not well loved in my circle of friends at any rate. And yeah somehow i don't see a happy ending for her

[sp23.livejournal.com]

Well, I couldn't ship Claire/Peter because she's fifteen years old. For Christ's sake, doesn't anyone have any sense of morality at all on the internets anymore? *fumes*

I actually loved the ending and squealed quite a bit. I totally didn't see that coming.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah it bugged me too though i'm fairly sure half my list shipped them

i liked it too. I really do like her mom too. As for her fathers...they're both jerks but they're interesting jerks

[mzzgoddessblue.livejournal.com]

i couldn't understand the claire/peter shipping. mainly cos of her age. i was starting to think people were shipping them cos they were the first of the heroes to really have a lot of contact - as in dramatic contact and that they are male/female. Simone doesn't count as she's not a hero, even tho she connects Peter and Isaac.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

definitely the age thing bothered me. two 15 year olds together, doesn't really faze me. an adult and a 15 year old yes. But i think you could be right

[lyricnonsense.livejournal.com]

I ship FMA where the some of the characters are fifteen...

Does this mean I'm going to the special hell reserved for child molesters and people who talk in movie theatres?

[sp23.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what FMA is so I don't know where you're heading.

[mzzgoddessblue.livejournal.com]

he is hot.

i can't remember if you watched the series of doctor who with him or not?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes I did.. I thought he was funny but ugly as all get out. You were most disappointed in me

[mzzgoddessblue.livejournal.com]

still am. LOL

no, i knew what you thought, but couldn't remember if you were just basing it on pictures. Heh.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no I watched him just don't find him attractive

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

My favorite parts of Heroes were Invisi-guy smacking Peter around for being too emo. Hee.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh that was good too and Peter finally grew a little backbone and stood up to him. Granted it took getting tossed off a building...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Hiro is my hero. Ando's damn cute too

and thanks. My life is always this bad. trust me.

Chalton, I was wondering if that was a brother.
