dahlia_moonI have a brand new computer. The black Toshiba one that I called (sometimes) Sergei was on the fritz last week. My parents went shopping yesterday afternoon and decided to buy me a new one on credit that they'll pay over a six-month period. I mean, otoh, !!!!! But on the other...egads. I wish they would've consulted with me before they decided to go ahead and buy me one. I was going to go to the university's computer store to try to see how much their macs cost and what kind of a student discount I'd be able to get. Now, I don't need to do that. :( I'm extremely picky. But, then I realize what a spoiled brat I'm being, and I'm really very thankful for them and a computer is a computer...all I really need is some way to connect with you all. (The added bonus of getting a computer now as opposed to whenever I get my butt in gear is I won't feel guilty for borrowing my dad's PC.)
I guess my problem is that they're ruining my slow crawl to independence. (Wow...what am I complaining about, self? At least be grateful your parents didn't kick you out once you turned eighteen...unlike some other parents I know.)
As for adjusting to this new computer, it's been awesome. I had Spotify and not Itunes because Itunes was frustrating me with its changing all the time, and really I only need one of 'em on my computer, so my music is pretty safe and I had Dropbox and kept up the syncing for the most part. And logging into Google Chrome kept all my passwords and synced all my bookmarks and info, so it's been smooth sailing. It's /creepy/, but whatever, as long as "they" don't get too knowledgeable about me, I think I'll be okay.
At least Sergei lasted for about 3 years, give or take a few months (more like 2+ years if I'm not being generous in my calculations; my parents thought I had Sergei since I started college fours years ago, but um, no, dear parents, a little less than that).

What is up with all my shows now passing the 100th episode mark AND featuring Bigfoot at the same time? LOL--it's really only like two shows at the moment that fit both criteria, but it seems like a lot. I know Castle has ripped on vampires and zombies and ghosts and superheroes so really, it was only a matter of time until it was Bigfoot's turn. Though my only wish was that at least one show would not debunk the myth so readily. Is that asking for too much?! I mean, yes, these are contemporary shows that value logic and reason above all else because we're not living in Medieval times, but when you know what's coming and that there will be a perfectly logical explanation to wrap up the episode nicely, it just seems pointless to have it be a mystery at all. Or, I dunno, maybe that's just me.
Except for some funny moments, and the surprise cameo (for me at least) of Raphael Sbarge (Archieeee <3333), "The Fast and the Furriest" felt like a boring filler episode.

Oh man, even the beginning of this episode tore at my heartstrings. But I liked the "what-if" aspect of it even if it was heartbreaking.
:((((((((( Seriously how I felt every second of this episode. Lassiter Jr, Lassie for short, was very cute though.
I had hoped to see more of Marlowe, but I guess she's just going to be relegated to a supporting character from now on who gets vaguely mentioned? Oh, well.
Though Henry's reaction was perfectly keeping in character, I had hoped, maybe in vain, that he'd be a bit more sympathetic. But as Shawn's lying about being a psychic kinda implicates Henry in a big way, I'm also on Henry's side so his reaction was perfectly understandable. I dunno. I just want this show to go back to being my happy-go-lucky summer fun time show, which it hasn't been for like two seasons, at least.
