Mailed

Instead of making anything new, television of the future will simply rehash the shows of the past. It’s sad that creativity has been put to the wayside to accommodate laziness and a lack of anything good.

Netflix is making “Fuller House,” a “Full House” spinoff featuring DJ and Kimmy. I don’t know, maybe it will be awesome to someone, but in my opinion it’ll probably be terrible–definitely not something I’d care to watch. I mean, DJ was not the main attraction of the original show. And Kimmy was just there so Danny could verbally abuse a child that wasn’t his own.

Take “Boy Meets World” for example. Why did I love it as a kid? Because of the epic friendship between Shawn and Cory. The whole Topanga thing just kind of happened, their relationship and marriage took over, and I wasn’t too sad to see the show end. (Though I feel awful that Shawn went camping with those people and ended up getting that disgusting flesh eating bacteria. He should have known to boil his water–didn’t Mr. Matthews work at a sporting goods store?)

And now they’re going to be rebooting “Coach,” “Twin Peaks,” and there’s an “X-Files” mini-series in the works. It just makes me go “Ugh.”

Interesting and fun shows like “Almost Human,” “Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles,” and “Bad Judge” get cancelled. And shows we only watched because there was nothing better on in the nineties get rebooted.

Gee thanks TV. Thanks for failing us once again.

I am sending this from my Kindle as my computer is currently in quarantine (an airtight plastic tub). I’m hoping that the ants will get out where I can kill them.

I had never heard of this happening, but all you have to do is google “ants in my laptop” and you’ll see that dozens of other people have had the same problem. It seems that the tiny black ants are attracted to the heat inside of a laptop and will crawl in through the vents. They come out of the keyboard and sides of the screen one-by-one. It’s very gross, and a little creepy, to feel something crawl across the back of your hand even knowing that it can’t hurt you.

One guy had a whole nest living in his laptop, like eggs and everything. My current situation is maybe (hopefully) a handful of ants somewhere inside the casing.

I cleaned the whole computer with rubbing alcohol then wiped it with lemon juice (which ants supposedly hate) before sticking it in the tub. They should come out when they realize they need to breathe.

In the meantime I’ve been spraying the perimeter of the house with Ortho Home Defense since I haven’t been able to find the nest. I’m just hoping they don’t decide to split the nest, leaving me with two of them to deal with.

Anyways, I have bugs in my computer, literally.

(BTW, I don’t eat over my keyboard, so there’s no food inside. The ants just like the warmth.)

I realize that it looks like crap, and that for some reason it’s showing up as HTML code in the front page excerpt, but I also know that I’m teaching this to myself and I’m doing pretty okay.

I have no idea what they’re saying, but 2NE1 is still a favorite. As a whole, their group is awesome. I love love them.

The use of color and style in one of their videos is always fascinating. Plus they are all arresting on the screen. You get pulled right in.

“I Love You M/V”

“I Hate You M/V” – the cartoon music video. There’s a whole Korean anime story that happens. Sounds kind of like she’s saying “Hey Jude”, so that’s an added bonus

Why not throw a little “Big Bang: Fantastic Baby M/V” into the mix. It’s an epic eye journey that will change your life if you’ve never heard of Big Bang. “I want to dance dance dance dance dance.”

G-Dragon practically writes his own fanfiction. It’s amazeballs.

Though I’d really be more interested in girl-band stuff at the moment. I’m an admitted mm slash fan, but I get into some mostly gen pieces as well. (Buffy and Sakura are better as action characters to me than as get naked characters. Though it’s the same for most mm pairings as well. I’m a bit aromantic.)

“Go Away M/V” from 2NE1. She’s a race car driver that fell in love with a male driver and he dumped her for another girl. She goes a bit over the rails in not wanting to let him break up with her. Then he slaps her! She gets back up and shows him that she can do well without him.

There’s a whole amazing story happening in that video. Kind of Days of Thunder, but it’s a chick and she takes things way too far. It would have been better for her to just “go away,” but instead she killed everyone. Then she joined a four-woman group of angels seeking redemption.

That’s what that song was about, right? Otherwise I’m confused 😛
