Hospitals and sore throats. No good. I specially hate sore throats. Nasty things. All I know is plenty of liquids. Only problem here is damp and cold weather. Also Fringe prempted by baseball. We will have basketball pushing its way in as baseball finally comes to an end. At least football is kind enough to play on weekend afternoons. Probably why I prefer that sport.

Oh I love it when shows are preempted by sports/newsy things(not). But I think what bugs me more is when shows take a hiatus in the middle of the season (I think I've mentioned that before....). Burn Notice has done it twice *grumble*, Dollhouse is gone for sweeps--though I understand why--and it kind of sucks because sometimes during the interim you forget it's coming back (and like Dollhouse, if it's not frickin' advertised, you don't know *when* it's coming back).

I've only seen one ep of Fringe, think it was the third one of the first season. How is it? What's it about anyways?

We are finally discovering, in Fringe, that a race from a parallel universe are crossing over with evil intent. In between there are episodes that remind you of X-Files. I like the characters in this show. They are very human. The writers like to throw zingers from Walter. And his son is desparately trying to find some ground with a father who was locked up in a mental hospital for years. So you really have a mad scientist in Walter, but he is likable and unpredictable. If you have only seen one episode I would recommend getting the them from Nexflix so you get a proper idea of what is going on. You would be lost if you just started watching now.

Why is it on weekends when no one can help, something weird happens???

Went to the ATM to pull some coin today and it says I entered the wrong PIN. WTF??? I've been using the same PIN like forever.

Thought it might be a communications error with the ATM I was using, Went to another one, entered my pin and got the message that I put in the wrong pin... And then the Huh choo-shang tza-jiao duh tzang-huo of a machine kept my bank card!!!!

I hope I get out of work early enough to get the thing back tomorrow. I went online and reset my PIN to what it was supposed to be... Now If I can actually get my card back...

Grumble, snort, mumble....

Okay... I feel a little better now.

Actually, Traveler, weird thing. It gave me the error about four times before I gave up (Internet was being shitty again, so I thought maybe it was just a slow connection, or it kicked me off again), but the next time I posted the change showed up--even though I hadn't "successfully" put the edit through. So I guess it..somehow changed anyway even though it told me it hadn't? *shrugs* I know not how these things work, lol. So I guess the answer would be yes-ish.

Got my card back fine this morning... Tried to get cash out and now it says that it's an invalid account type. (IE Checking vs. savings)

That said, I'm pretty sure that my account has been compromised. There's only $25.99 in it at the moment and that's all there will ever be. I'm sure whomever hacked the account is waiting for me to make a deposit before trying to abscond with the money. $25.99 ain't enough worth stealing is what I'm figuring. There will be no more Deposits.

Sucks for them.

The account is through an online bank. I'll be closing the account this week and setting up one at the same local bank the Girlfriend uses.

I've been getting a plethora of Spam lately all with the same headers from different random e-mail address. All using my name in the mail header. Probably picked up a bug on my system (Despite my anti-virus and firewalls) so I'll be running Malwarebytes tonight while I'm in bed.

Yikes..this had ended up being an intersting day...to say the least. Morning was bad...then I posted something on another board that is going to take a bite out of my real life ass and I can't do anything about it because I was quoted. I hate people who edit, but I knew I shouldn't have posted it in the first place but this pompous person was driving me nuts and I had scenario that proved her wrong...only it involved indirectly knocking a barnmate's horse (the one I was going to buy) and it will no doubtedly get back to her and she's the type that think all her horses crap gold. Sigh. I also knocked a board-mate's horse and now she's out to prove something so the problem won't die.

and then on here I get you all riled up because I deleted my post. Really, the situation wasn't bad...I just got paranoid about the ramifications of possibly admitting wrong-doing online. The guy just definitely wanted to teach me and all the a--holes like me lesson. I just don't want him to ever have any more ammo than necessary if he decides to get vindictive.

I should've never gotten out of bed this morning.

Someone with decent search skills could link my screenname with my real name. I don't think he has my name...but I can't remember if I gave it to the 911 operator or not with him standing there.

Listening to the S1 commentaries, they said they had planned a 5 year arc. I wonder if they are still going to stick to that now that they are on year 5 and are still succesful?

I need to remember to watch S5 as I'm currently on S4 and loving it. I keep forgetting that I have a time limit on watching the S5 eps that i don't have on the others.

BTW, I adore Barney. My favorite character by far.

(Zeek and anyone else interested: on a side note - are you watching Dollhouse at all anymore? I know you don't like the show, but I'd be interested in your opinion of 'Belonging.' It made me sick to my stomach and I was close to tears. Topher broke my heart and Sierra...it was such a good ep.)

Yeah I'm still watching. The episode was better than the others this season, but I still didn't like the continuity of it. I mean the Sierra flash backs didn't even have her looking like she did when they first brought her to the dollhouse in season 1. At the very least her hair was colored differently.

Adelle and Topher were way too moral all of a sudden. I'm not even clear on what he was so upset about at the end. Nor do I understand how the dollhouse is getting away with ticking off so many clients these days. As some reviewers have said "for an organization that relies on word of mouth advertising, they sure don't keep their customers very happy." I also heard a funny one about them having a sign in the breakroom "2 engagements without a glitch".

I really feel like they started out with a really really long term plan and now they realize that the public isn't giving them that kind of time. So, instead they went the total opposite direction and are throwing major character changes at us that make no sense.
