Notes from Work

Well, I am writing from work, again. I'm in the process of saving up to buy this awesome laptop I saw at the Electronics Market downtown, but I'm only halfway there. It's a giant pain waiting, but it'll be worth it.

So today, I watched an episode of Heroes for the first time in over a year. I've been in training for the Army for that long. And well, I gotta say, I was sort of let down. It just didn't have enough oomph. There was I think I little too much going on, and I don't understand why there has to be a new character every 4 seconds. The newest character is Daphne, and while she's cool and I understand Matt needs a love interest, I don't understand why she's needed. BTW, here in Korea, the AFN (Armed Forces Network) is like 3 or 4 episodes behind the states. So while I know what's going on in real time thanks to the crazies over at televisionwithoutpity.com, I haven't actually seen the latest episodes. Sylar is currently in an area of gray over whether or not he's evil. And frankly I don't like it. Why can't a bad guy just be a bad guy?

Speaking of which, Ian, my bf, did an impression of Sylar the other night and I almost died. It was spot on. We were discussing what powers we'd have and somehow we got onto how he would steal my power, whatever it was. I said I'd have the power to turn Sylar good, and Ian asked how. I said "with the power of love" and apparently I said it dripping with sweetness because Ian, in his Sylar voice, said "More like the power to make people vomit." I'd never heard the Sylar voice before, but I think it's my new favorite. Well, next to the regular Ian voice and the Vin Diesel voice that he refuses to do anymore because I like it too much.

So, I'm currently obsessed with http://www.goodreads.com. I did the "Official Fall Challenge" as part of the "Next Best Book" group and it was tons of fun. I've decided to do the "Official Winter Challenge" as well as challenging myself to read I think, 200 books next year. I didn't even make 100 this year, but that was barely trying. So I think I'll be ok.

About my book. I'm having trouble with it. It's like I just can't make myself sit down and write. I think of every little excuse not to do it. I'm not sure what that's about.
