I Love DVR

This is a post about nothing really. I just feel like blogging, so I decided that I shall just type and see what spills out onto the computer screen.

I have a new love in my life and her name is DVR (Yes, I'm a tad delirious from a very long day). In fact, I am currently DVR-ing Heroes even though I could probably just watch it now rather than recording it and watching it later. Now there's no more worrying about having to possibly skip class late on Monday nights to watch Heroes (yes I'm that addicted to this show). Heroes truly is a wonderful show. It's like a new Marvel movie every week. I was so excited when Marvel started doing all of their movies, now I get a new live action comic book every week. I love the art in Heroes that Isaac does. He would be the really cool guy who's eyes roll back in his head as he paints the future. The artist who actually does the paintings is named Tim Sale. I'd like to see more of his work.

I'm currently reading Cell by Stephen King, and I must say that it is much better than I thought it would be. I pictured a trapped in a phone booth kind of book, but it's totally not that. It's actually a really great zombie story so far. My little brother got it for me as a christmas gift when he saw that I was reading Lisey's Story. I didn't know if I would like it, but it's really good so far. I've never considered myself a Stephen King fan, but these latest books are great. Sure they're a little pulpy, but still a fun read.

Dinner time. Hope everyone's week got off to an ok start...mine was just long, and tomorrow will be longer.

I want the snow!

So this winter weather sweep is taking over everywhere but Louisiana. Well ok, northern Louisiana but do they really count? Even Texas has frozenness. Megan reported to me earlier that it looks like a winter wonderland in College Station, and even though it has not snowed, everything is frozen and there's icicles all over. When is it our turn? It never snows here. Except for Christmas day 2 years ago of course.

The logic of Louisiana says that the Saints will in fact not only play in the Superbowl, but will win. Why, you ask. Well..good things happen in threes. Wait a minute, scratch that. THINGS happen in threes. #1 - 2004 - snows on Christmas day in New Orleans. #2 - 2005 - biggest natural disaster (Katrina) in the history of the U.S. hits New Orleans. Duh #3 - 2006(7) - SAINTS WIN THE SUPERBOWL. Logical, neh?

So back to the snow...despite thoroughly enjoying the internship more and more, I would love to have a "snow day" (whatever that is) here in New Orleans and just lay in bed all day and read really good books. Speaking of books, I'm plugging Second Chance Book Adoption again. The guy who runs it is great. I received my books (already) yesterday! Not only did I get the 8 books I ordered, but he threw in 2 extra ones and a card as well! How awesome. And he's just listed some new titles. According to his blog, there is a reason for selling these books. #1 - He's moving to Singapore and it would be very expensive to ship all of these there. #2 - He's recently been practicing Buddhism and of course, Buddhism aims at not holding on to material possessions (at the least, not a plethora of them). So support this guy. It's a great cause any way you look at it!

I think that's all I have to say right now. I'm sure I'll think of something later. A little delirious here if you can't tell. Ooh, just thought of something. I'm very excited because I'm waiting on the DVD set of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere to come in the mail. I ordered it from eBay and am also expecting an electric shaver (finally) and a brand new watch :) Neverwhere was originally made as a TV show and was shown on A&E a long time ago and was THEN made into a book. And a great book I might add. So I'll post a review of it as soon as I get it and check it out. That's all.
