Don't leave home without clean underwear

It may have been a dream, but it holds a valuable lesson.
Rose Tyler and the second incarnation of her doctor are a lot more fun in person. They like to take you on trips throughout the universe, traveling through time and space. Sure, you might end up in a clear plastic suit with everyone able to see your boxer shorts, but that's okay. It's all in the spirit of adventure.
I love Doctor Who, and getting the chance in this weird way to be a part of it was magical. But what was the best part? It was as if my mind knew it should fit the dream into episode format, because right at the end I got one of the most wonderful treats: I found a soda fountain with melon soda. As the Doctor and Rose shared my happiness, the theme music started up, and I awoke the happiest I have been in a while.

Sweet merciful crap

I have been recently going back to some of my blogs to try to get myself posting again, or else figuring out if I should just shut down the blog entirely. It's odd that the last entry I posted was about me not posting for a long time, and here I am again more or less doing the same thing. who would have thought I was so banal.
Since no one is probably going to read this, I would just like to say that I have a Nintendo Wii that I got for my birthday, shipped to me and that arrived last week Tuesday, and I have not played it yet, partially because I want a nice time window for it, but also because I want to keep it a bit of a secret from my video-game-obssessed friends. The XBox just left when Jim moved out, and I am so happy that people can't come over and play Halo or Halo 2 anymore. I certainly don't want people showing up expecting to get to play (or for the express purpose of playing) my Wii, although knowing I can have veto power is kind of a nice power trip.
Eventually I am going to have to face reality and actually look for a better job and figure out if there is any way I can go to grad school next fall, or if I even want to do so. If only I could play the lottery and win a decent prize so I could pay off my student loans, not have to worry about paying for my graduate work, be able to live semi-comfortably while doing my graduate work, and maybe have some money left over for a decent honeymoon for when I get married. But how would that teach me to work for what I want?
Time for some Bible reading and maybe some episodes from Season 2 of The Office. Because there really isn't a better combination. If I get some Harry Potter in there it might just be a quaint little threesome. (That's what she said.)

Lost in a blogging world

For all the lack of posting, since I haven't updated since my birthday, which was almost 7 months ago, the odds are good that no one ever checks this thing. I don't even really blog anywhere anymore, and I have 6 blogs. I don't know why I got so many, other than maybe I felt obligated and/or pressured by the blogs my friends have. And now I don't even have the decency to do anything about any of them.
But I want to change that if I can. This is my first blog, of the modern sort (since technically the Diaryland one I had would be my first, but since I really don't use that anymore, we'll skip it). So how about an update?
It's snowing outside, windy, and cold enough polar bears have space heaters. Work (delivering pizzas for Papa John's, a job I qualify for with my degree in creative writing) called a while ago asking me to go in. I am not sure I want to do so. I haven't given a definite answer, but when I have a day off, especially one this cold, I like to stay in if possible, even if it means making some decent money. I'm kind of scared to drive, actually. When you hear reports of massive pileups on the highway, and that the snow is falling and blowing so hard that one can't see, that's a vote for staying in. I think it best if I at least get ready for the possibility of them calling me in for sure, but the other part of me is wishing I could stay wrapped in a blanket all day, watching more episodes from the sixth season of West Wing. Is that so wrong?
Anyway, to anyone out there reading this, I send my love. If you happen to actually read this post, please leave a comment so I know someone is out there. Thank you.

They say it's my birthday

It's my birthday, and I haven't updated in a while, and I wanted to update all my blogs today, but as I have a friend waiting to watch a movie with me, I'm not going to say much. Hopefully I will later.

Things revealed, although the situation has changed

So, the situation that I have been talking about revealing: well, things have changed, yet there are still some things that need to happen that are very much the same.
So here's the sitch: I have a friend, who is a girl, who shall remain nameless, who has been sort of wreaking havoc not only with my emotions, but also giving lots of other people cause to wonder whether or not she either liked me, or was interested in a number of other guys. She's a bit of a flirt, but in a way that really makes one not be sure what the heck her intentions are.
But to make matters considerably more interesting, she has, at least until recently, taken to calling me on a fairly regular basis, as well as using me as a means to keep her out of boredom, randomly showing up at my house, taking over my bed, and popping in a movie. I actually had to ask her to leave at midnight one Sunday evening because I had to get to bed for work the next morning.
Now, this is a girl who I really knew I shouldn't date or anything, and didn't necessarily have feelings for, but when she'd cuddle into me and give me looks and flirt and whatever else, I have to admit I started considering the possibility of the two of us getting together. I have had to consult some of my roommates and a mutual friend of the girl's and mine in order to get advice as to what to do. They all suggest having a talk with her. Unfortunately, I haven't taken the time to actually have that happen. We haven't seen each other much in the last couple of weeks, which has been kind of nice, but as she's leaving town next week, if I don't have this talk, not only will I feel the coward, but also it may lead to some weirdness come the fall. And I really feel like this is a conversation that I should have.
But to make things interesting, this girl knows something about me that not a lot of people know. It's not a bad thing, but it is something that is kind of confusing, and she doesn't really understand and has kind of misconstrued some things because of it. She apparently has some questions, but she's unwilling to ask, and if she doesn't ask, I feel she will probably never truly get it. Perhaps this is something that will come up during the eventual and necessary conversation, but I don't know. At the very least, it has helped me to at least for the most part cut the heartstrings that kept me kind of attached to her. Which is really the best thing I could have hoped for.
So there you go, the situation or whatever I called it has finally been described, if in an altered way. Thus concludes me updating all of my blogs: Blogger, Xanga, Livejournal, Facebook (a blog of sorts, but not really) and MySpace.

It's coming

That thing I said I'd update about, a week ago? It's coming. I thought maybe it had resolved itself, and that posting would be a moot point, but it's still a problem. I just don't have time right now to do it. Hopefully either tonight or the next day or so. And then I'll get to say how it was resolved when it is! Because there just doesn't seem to be a way that God will let me sit idly back on this one. Well, I can, but it's only going to get messy, I suppose.

I've been bad

I really figured I would have updated since Chapter Focus Week, but I haven't gotten around to it. And I have to admit, there was something specific that was supposed to go here, but now that I see the time, and wish to actually get a decent amount of sleep, I realize that I can't do it justice right now. Which hopefully means that I will come back and give that update soon. This just seems like the right blog for it. (I now have 4, picking up a MySpace just over a week ago; I know, overkill.)

Anyway, since I made a promise to myself that I would update all of my blogs today, and since I don't have anything else I can think of in my tired state to write about, I will digress on how I am looking forward to soon watching my traditional viewing of the 7 aired episodes of Covington Cross. This series aired in 1992 on ABC, and I taped all the episodes. For some reason in 1994 I decided to watch them again. And thus the tradition was born, to watch them again every 2 years.

It seems kind of weird to me, I admit, to think that I am probably one of only a handful of TV dorks out there who cares about this series 14 years later. You have no idea how much I would love to find that they had released the series on DVD, complete with the 6 unaired episodes they made. But so far, no luck (not that I've looked too hard, mind you). I guess I'll just have to satisfy myself with the series I have. That can't be too hard, can it?
