Hello all! I've been bad about updating again but my work's internet got some clever little blocks up which mean that I can't get onto facebook at all and tv.com only somedays. Not sure what makes it available some days and not others but this is all besides the point because...
I got a 2TB external hardrive with my first paycheck. It is so pretty and I spent 3 days transferring all the backup disks from my other hardrive that crashed onto it. And then another two days transferring over files from my laptop, my brother's computer and my 3rd external. I now have so much space for tv its not even funny. I've already filled up 1tb and most of it is tv with 200 gigs of movies.
I've also been busy with friends. For the past few weekends, I've had friends come down and stay at mine. It's been a blast. I miss the people who I see near daily at university during the summer. They apparently miss me too. My friend Kate is down for the week so that she can actually get to her job on time since her parents and brothers have stolen the two working cars and taken them up North. We are mostly just chilling and watching (rewatching for me) Supernatural. She's usually in Georgia or in the middle of Nowhere at her parent's house so I never get to see her and now we are reliving the old days (when we were roomates at boarding school) for a week. It's great.
I've checked out a few of the new summer shows and here is just a quick rundown
Nurse Jackie: Awesome - just awesome. I'm in love with it. I like the characters, especially the nurses. Edie Falco is ridiculously amazing. Seriously enjoying it.
Royal Pains: Not enjoying it to the same degree at all. It's been entertaining so far but it's not fabulous. It could have potential but I can't stand the younger brother. If the cases remain interesting though - it's a good enough show to fill up spare time with.
The Philanthropist: Interesting but once again it comes down to characters and I'm not digging any of the mains but the plot was interesting if a bit condescending at times and it kept me intrigued enough to finish watching it.
I have not been reading with the same fervour as the first few weeks of work but I've finished a few more lighter summer reading books. Greek Gods Behaving Badly was the first one and it was fun to read and quick. It wasn't particularly good but it was interesting and I think could make an interesting movie (not that I encourage that behaviour).
I finished War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells. I liked it and I really wish I could hear the original radio play that made a whole bunch of people go into a panic thinking Aliens were really invading. The book's narrative is simple but no less chilling.
