Today i watched the last two episodes of Grey's Anatomy. The past couple of weeks i saw a lot more of That '70's Show than usual cuz i was housesitting and they had satellite. In fact, most of the episodes i had never seen before. Both shows have extramarital sex, one show has drugs, a part of me wonders if i should even be watching them.
But they make me laugh. They don't give me an overwhelming urge to smoke a joint or jump into the sack with someone, they make me feel better for a minute. Right now, i can take all of the laughter i can get. i've been far too depressed lately. What's great about Grey's Anatomy is that everyone is more psychotic than i am, so i don't feel so bad. What's great about That '70's Show is that everyone messes up, does stupid stuff, laughs at themselves and each other, and at the end of the day they're still friends.
i don't have that: i have no friends, i don't have a "person" to talk to about my problems that helps me get through the day. God doesn't say anything. No guys or gals like me for me, not really. If the people i know really knew me, they wouldn't want to have anything to do with me. It's very sad really. Anyway, all i know is that, while there are sinful actions taking place, i am not endorsing said actions, or participating in them, and sin happens, i can't control it. All i can do is try to control myself, like Edward in Twilight and Midnight Sun, or Harry Potter. i cannot control the circumstance i am in, i can only try to make the best of them. And that's what i'm trying so very hard to do.
Off to finally see Eagle Eye tonight, can hardly wait for Wrath and Twilight. i need to get ready to go to the theater.

i've been bitten
Some of you that are observant may have noticed: i changed the header again. There's been a sudden influx of women on it, but what can you do (not everything can be equal all the time). Anyway, the newest addition (two were just new photos from the same show as before, a newer image of Ellen Pompeo and Hayden Panetierre instead of Milo Ventimiglia) is from a poster for the upcoming film Twilight, which stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.
Yes, i have been turned, or bitten if you will, by the Twilight Saga bug. i started reading them about two and a half weeks ago and have been completely unable to put them down, truth be told. i cannot get enough of Edward and Bella and Alice. i was even certain, from the moment in Breaking Dawn when (highlight) Bella realizes she's pregnant, that she was going to have a girl and that Jacob would imprint on her. It's a bit surprising to me, for Cedric (from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) to be Edward, but i have no real objection to it i suppose, from the previews and stills he seems to have done an excellent job. i haven't seen Kristen Stewart in anything since Panic Room, and she isn't exactly how i picture Bella, but i'm not sure that Emily Browning would have been a better choice, and i certainly didn't like Michelle Trachtenberg for the part (i've been checking out fanart on DeviantArt, can you tell?). The van on ice accident doesn't look as good as i imagined it (i see it in slow mo with Edward clearly lifting the van and shouldering it out of the way, not slamming his hand into it in a way that looks overkill and unnecessary), but i have hopes that the finished product will look better on the big screen. Some of the casting choices aren't exactly how i pictured things, but aren't overtly terrible either. i am certainly looking forward to the movie. One of the nice things about becoming a fan later on is that there isn't as much waiting, i read all the books back to back and the movie is already in (or out of) post production.
Now if only Stephenie Meyer would continue writing Midnight Sun (/sad)... the chapter on her site is really good, and the Host just isn't cutting it for me right now. i'm going to reread Twilight soon. Anyways, time to get ready to go to church.

WoW hunter yayness
Hurray, they fixed the glitch-that-wasn't-a-glitch on wind serpents! Now maybe i shouldn't dump my wind serpent. Worms and their talent look sweet but i'm still not sure i want to spec bm. Anyways, check it out from Big Red Kitty.
Mondays and Tuesdays this week
Well they're certainly trying to make Miss Connor appear to be more motherly. That kid was cute, more worried about his book report than his parents being worried, mentioning that she wasn't very good at being a mom. i was excited to see Mr. Patrick Kilpatrick as a terminator, but of course they killed him off immediately. ): i liked seeing him on Dark Angel and in Minority Report.
In other news, NCIS just isn't cutting it for me this season, and i wish that Fox would have shown Fringe after the debates but nooo.

NBC.com is my bane
So i have been having trouble keeping up with Heroes because i can't find it on the internet in a format that i can actually watch. i have no idea why DSL should be so much worse than cable was last season, but it apparently is. NBC now stops and starts about every 15s. It took me two hours to watch the first 5-10 minutes of Heroes last night, so i finally just gave up and started downloading it off of Mininova via utorrent. i even tried downloading their new program where you download episodes in HD, but i can't even install the program because their downloader for the installer won't finish, it always has an error.
i don't have this many problems with ABC or Fox, though they do sometimes stop and start a little, it's never to this extent. If i pause for a second and then play again that usually fixes it. What i want to know is why all of this is set up so that it has to be streamed instead of loading like on YouTube. It would work so much better.

this week on Fox
TSCC keeps me guessing as always. i love Summer Glau, so i don't mind her being featured, but i wasn't expecting this backstory. i also am not so sure that Agent Ellison knows what he's getting himself into. i also think that it's weird that the newest Terminatrix' "daughter" basically ignored him and did not utter a single word.
On Fringe they are, of course, keeping us guessing. i wasn't sure at first if i should trust the Observer, but he seems to be all right. i am rather surprised that he put so much spicy stuff on his sandwich if his trouble is that he cannot taste: too much spice can burn your tastebuds as well a leave a slightly bitter bland taste behind. i was sure that it was Scott that had called Dunham, but is he really alive? It seems highly dubious. There is a chance that she's hallucinating, or that his mind is trying to contact hers again (what with all the probing that seems to be going on with his brain), but all of that seems to be a pretty far stretch. i guess that only time will tell.

Varimathras gets an upgrade (spoilers of course)
Out with the old...
...and in with the new.
And EPL has a new map again: the Ruins of the Scarlet Enclave are complete, but unpopulated. The portal to the Ebon Hold is present, but not functioning. i imagine this area will be overrun with lvl 55ish mobs and npcs very soon.

PTR updates: playing as a SV/MM hybrid in 3.0
So i saw that the Beta talent calculator had been updated on Wowhead to reflect the new Hunter changes and decided to download the new PTR patch. Nothing too exciting, though some odd changes: Surefooted doesn't have the increased chance to hit anymore, that's been moved to MM and incorporated into Focused Aim, which no long affects Aimed Shot's pushback because Aimed Shot is now cast instantly (!). This puts the hit buff in the first tier of MM, meaning no Hunter should ever have too much trouble reaching hit cap (or be required to stack massive amounts of +hit gems).
One bug i noticed is that using Aimed or Multi triggers both cds the same way using Arcane or Explosive triggers both cds. Also, my melee macro (Raptor, Wing Clip, repeat) is no longer working: i have no idea why. The Cat family skill Rake is finally in, but i can't tell that it helps dps (oddly enough it's a dot). Anyways, i may tinker with my spec a bit, but i think that i'm going to stay hybrid.
Talking to some fellow hunters, they weren't all that happy with AoV, but i was. i don't even know if i tried turning it on in previous patches because i read it was broken. Basically it really nerfs your damage but at the same time it takes less than 30s to fill your mana bar up so you can switch back to Hawk and continue to dps your heart out. i can live with that.
My figures are as follows:
with AoH
high dps 1080
834 average dps (148s to oom) or 919 average dps (110s to oom)
pet dps = 140
with AoV
max dps 380
300 average dps
20-25s to 100% mana
pet dps 125
400+ mana per shot
This of course isn't entirely accurate because of the Aimed and Multi bug, but it's still pretty impressive. Once the bug is fixed i will most likely be able to put out dps even faster, albeit by also going oom faster. But specced so deep into Surv that won't be as big of an issue for me as for a BM hunter.
