Random Comments Into My Life

We did yardwork yesterday. I picked up a lot of sticks. Home Depot sucks on a Friday morning. My father and I went to get a new gascan for the mower and there was only one employee around to help us...and she didn't know anything about how these new fangled gas cans work...

So due to a bank error when I reset my bank account so I could accurately keep track again, I had like a hundred dollars less in my account than I thought so my last bill payment put me in the hole. This would've been all right and easily fixed if I had been paid for the last week of my mailroom job but, oddly, I still have not been even though it's been weeks. I don't know if I can accurately convey how infuriated this makes me. If it doesn't happen soon, heads will roll!

Also yesterday I re-watched the Enterprise episode "Regeneration"; this time with audio commentary from the writers. They made some valid points I hadn't considered on the issue of if this episode screws with continuity or not. I now say no. As they pointed out, the Ferengi episode was much worse in that regard.

So, as I read in an article yesterday, it seems Michelle Rodriguez had only signed on for a season as she apparently is very concerned about being typecast... The producers wanted the character Ana Lucia to last longer but the changed their plans to accommodate her. My question is why didn't they just find a different actress? Are thirty-ish Latina actresses that hard to find they settled with her?

I'm sure there are about 20 million young and hungry Latina actresses to be found, but Michelle Rodriguez has the name recognition of a middling actress so that's at least something producers can work with.

Still, not wanting to be typecast? honestly! after ANNAPOLIS, GIRL FIGHT, and FAST AND FURIOUS? es demasiado tarde, mi amiga! anyways, drunk driving is bad but I heart Michelle R tons. I think she's so pretty!!

She was in Annapolis? Then why did a no name like Jordana Brewester, who's best known role is Derak Jeter's ex-girlfriend, get the lead female role?

Oh yes, it was all about the name recognition...
JRRyan said…
HAHAHA my extreme bad!! I thought Michelle had the lead. wow, good thing I didn't see it then. I would have been PISSED!!
Likestrek said…
I wouldn't have known either but I saw the Brewster appearence on Letterman promoting the film...
JRRyan said…
well odd-looking Jordana WAS in FAST AND FURIOUS too, which is why I knew her name. I didn't know she was Jeter's chickie actually...

I read somewhere. I don't think they're still together but I'm a Sox fan so I really don't care...

The Neglected Blog

With the discovery of the time-waster that is Facebook, I find I no longer need to waste my time here. This is mainly why I haven't done any quizzes or other memes here in a cat's age. (I'm not a dog person...) They're all over there. Also why tell you all about what's not going on in my life when I can better waste time by making fake money off Lindsay Lohan's hi-jinks? Added to that, you can regularly follow the mundaness that is my life on Twitter. I don't want to say I'll never blog again. Frankly, this site and I have chronicled much over the years and I'm not ready to give it up fully. Every so often, something comes up worth sharing. Case in point, Thursday night, there was a retirement celebration for our outgoing OT professor complete with a guest lecturer from Boston, dinner and a vesper service designed by the professor herself. It was good Thai food, though admittedly not my favorite Asian cuisine, and saw many people I knew. My parents c

Reversion To The Old Ways

Since there seems to be no rhyme or reason to which of my posts get comments and which don't, I'm going post whatever I feel like. Sure, I love comments but I must face facts that I'm not going to get them. No, I'm not going to review every episode of every TV show I'm going to watch this new season again simply because it doesn't appeal to me any more. To be sure, I will write about some of the new series since that does still interest me but not every episode... I am going to go back to complaining about my love life occassionally though because, if I can't discuss it here, where can I? Remember that workstudy student I mentioned being interested in? Yeah, well she's married apparently and I think even has at least one child so even if she didn't commute from such a long distance, nothing is going to happen with that. (Boo!) This is the first time I've discovered information of this nature before I made a complete ass of my self so this is go

The Big E and Other Commentary

Last night, we went to the Big E up in West Springfield. It was apparently Connecticut Day so the parade was all CT all the time. It was the longest parade I have ever watched. It went on like forever. We got a baked potato at the Maine Building and a Spiced Apple Cider Donut at the Vermont building as well as sharp cheese called "The Preacher." I wanted to get "The Green Mountain Boys" which was supposedly XX-sharp but my father wouldn't go for it. We then went to the Sam Adams Beer Garden where I ordered an Octoberfest. Mine was 20 ounces so it looked huge compared to the little cups of chardonnay my parents ordered. We then went over to get the special Big E cream puff. Has anyone heard Clay Aiken's new song? He's covering Badfinger's "Without You" of all things and, I really hate say this, it's pretty good... We're having another Movie Night a week from tomorrow. We've decided today that we're going to watch Akeela
