dead like me

Have any of you guys ever heard of the show Dead Like Me? If you haven't, I strongly encourage you to go to Hulu and look it up. If I'm not convincing you, check out the opening title sequence from the show, it makes me laugh everytime.

Unfortunately, the show was canceled after only two seasons. I never watched it on Showtime when it was still running but I guess that a "loss of quality" ensued and that there were internal problems with the directing staff that caused the station to drop the show. I haven't even made it to the 2nd/last season so I'm not sure if the plots get any worse, but I can tell you that the first 4 episodes that I've seen so far are brilliant.

And of course, one of the main characters, Mason, is played by a British actor named Callum Blue who is pretty easy on the eyes.

Hand Sanitizer!!

Update on my friend?

Pretty much the same. I managed to make her smile a few times today, but she's still different. People are starting to notice, and since they know I'm good friends with her, they've been asking me what's going on. I don't feel comfortable telling them what really happened because I don't know if she would want me sharing that sort of news, so I just say that she's suffered a big loss.

On the same note of death: swine flu. It's spreading and we've all got to be prepared. I just read an article that a couple hundred are suspected of having it in New York City. Even Mayor Bloomberg was quoted as saying, “we may sadly see people either in New York City or nationally” die of it.

My advice? Use lots of hand sanitizer, stay away from sick people, you know the usual things.

I am aware that this might be a thing that will quickly blow over, like West Nile Virus and Mad Cow Disease ... but there's this nagging fear inside of me that tells me that something is going to happen. Maybe it's just my morbid streak, or the fact that I read Blindness, a book about a pandemic (blindness, obviously) that cripples the entire world ... but I can't help but feel like this could be it. We could all get sick and die.

Okay, I need to stop thinking sad thoughts. I have a chemistry exam tomorrow, wish me luck!

PS
Even as I am writing this now, I can hear the news coming from the TV in my parent's room and it's all "swine flu... swine flu... swine flu..."

Conflict

One of my really good friends recently found out that her trainer (she rides horses) committed suicide.

I'd never met this person, so the news didn't really impact me, but the fact that my friend started bawling scared the living shit out of me.

I've never seen her cry. In fact, she has to be one of the happiest, craziest people I've ever known in my life and to see her break down jarred me.

And the worst part?

I have no idea what to say to her. I can't think of anything to make her feel better. I'm ashamed to say this, but I even took a different hallway to class because I knew I'd run into her if I went the usual way.

I just want her to now that I feel so sorry for her loss, and that I'm here if she ever needs me.

Old Ladies

So first off; check out the So How Was Your Day? blog and see whose story made it up today :)

Secondly; I was doing some deep thinking in the lockerroom at the fitness club last night (Because blaring 80's music and the smell of old ladies invokes deep thinking) and I realized, if I died, how would the [insert "few"/] readers of my blog know of my passing away? In fact, most of them would probably think that I just gave up for good, or was just on an extended hiatus.

So I've decided that if I don't write a single thing in this blog for 28 days, you can assume that I've gone onto a better place... or a worse one, we'll have to see about this.

Capisce?

It's a morbid thought to be thinking on a Saturday morning, but I think that it's something that just needs to be taken care of.

Onto happier things!

I am now in love with That 70's Show!
