Heroes

Hey,
I love TV, however, my favourite shows usually end up cancelled because I always pick winners! Anyways, not the point of this blog .. maybe another time!
The reason for this blog is to discuss the third season being here - finally - HEROES!
\
There are some spoilers sorry ... watch the episodes first before reading! Feel free to let me know what your opinions of the story lines are!

*****SPOILER ALERT *****

So, last night, Monday was the season premiere of Heroes - for 2 hours! They played two episodes which was awesome!! OK so this is what I THINK!!!



Claire Bennet
- the cheerleader - "save the cheerleader, save the world" from season 1 she can spontaneously regenerate - Sylar came and cut her head open "takes her power" and she is confused when she isn't dead yet - she cannot die! Later, she discovers she can no longer pain - the only thing that kept her feeling human - Since this wasn't part of the future that was supposed to happen ... will it be undone? If not, what will happen to Claire?

-played by Hayden Panettiere

bad versus good ??

OR

future versus present??

Noah Bennet
-(Claire's adoptive dad) has been being held captive on Level 5
- without powers, Elle sort of lets him go when she discovers her father is dead - Sylar - now he locks Sylar up in Level 5 however, Elle lets the other evils down there free so Noah is off to "recapture" them





Elle Bishop



-generate and manipulate electricity - a little off her rocker but understandably so - she accidentally allows the evils from level 5 lose and thus their escape! You are never really sure if she is on the good team or the evil team or a double agent or what!?!?!



-She is played by Kirsten Bell who I also LOVE from way back when - Veronica Mars!











Hiro and Ando
- Hiro can manipulate time and space

and Ando has no super powers or "abilities"

- they are protecting half of the "formula"
- not sure if I really like this story line; the new super fast chick is kinda cool though
-once it intermingles I am sure it will get better

Angela

- she can see the future yet she doesn't seem to do anything about it except blame Peter for messing it up and changing it

Nathan
- he can fly and now he has found God?? I am a little confused by this story line and the way Nikki or Jessica or Tracy may or may not intersect


Peter
- future Peter sure has a chip on his shoulder - I wonder what happened to him - differentiated by the scar on his face
-present-day Peter was locked up inside Jesse - an evil powered guy on level 5 that escaped and is now a fugitive whose power we are unaware of ... what could it be? what is so evil that Noah couldn't tell Claire??

Mohinder (and Maya)
-never really been my favourite story line ... but things certainly are heating up

Matt Parkman
- he can read people's minds and manipulate them as well
-where is Molly Walker?

Nikki Saunders or Jessica Saunders

or Tracy Strauss

-what is up with the new power?
and where is Micah and Monica?


Sylar

-evil, he had no power until he started killing people and taking them from others he is extremely powerful; even more so now having Claire's ability for regeneration ...
-we find he may be Angela's other son? what is that about?
- but in the stay tuned for next week clips he begins to work for the company? and becomes Noah's partner?


You know you love Heroes,

Largest Blog Update of LIfe

Hey everyone,

I apologize for neglecting my blog ... its been a crazy 2 weeks. First I made it to school, so the great trek is over for another 8 months. However, I have been 'blogging' I just either haven't had Internet or time or both to post. So this will be one monumental huge post about lots of things

The Great Trek

So we finally got out on the road for the trip to school! We left Saturday afternoon .. around 1pm. So I have been typing my blog out and will post once I get to my new apartment. Since I need the hot spot time to check my email and facebook of course. As well as check the online maps because someone forgot the triptik *cough*DAD*cough*


Day 1 - Saturday

We drove .... meanwhile I read, listened to my ipod and played on my new laptop ... oh yes the reason we did not get to leave as scheduled. Also, I am putting a shout out to Kat and Scott who are getting married today!! As I wish them all the best!

Day 2 - Sunday

There is move driving we finally stopped at a truck stop with free wireless and I was going to post this blog so far however, my battery was running low due to the fact that I was playing lots of chess earlier trying to gain back the skill I seemingly lost since I stopped playing.... because the only person who would play with me was Stephie and so I taught her how to play; then she continually beat through the course of about 4 months til I decided that was enough ...
I was chatting on facebook to Cait who is heading this way as well (she is going to the same school as me now ... for graduate studies). However, she is about half a day behind us since she had to work last night.

Day 3 - Monday

Some more driving ... in cruddy weather its cold and rainy and it sucks!! Stopped at a hot spot a little while ago but I couldn't get it working until like 3 minutes before we were leaving. So yeah totally pointless!! However, mom got cinnamon buns. :D
Despite the crud weather, I am excited since today is the day that I get to move into my new apartment, with new people who are seemingly pretty awesome. There are so many things to do when I get back its insane!
Most of my friends have already got all kinds of things all planned ... margarita Monday, apartment crawl, and of course .... GREEK OLYMPICS!!
Well now its pouring rain as we cross the border into NS!!! Darn Atlantic province!! Well what to do in the rain ... read ... nothing better than keeping warm and reading a good book!

Moving in ...
Moving in was an insane process; the previous tenants were not out on time. Had to paint my walls, move my stuff in. My room is still messy but its getting better. Slowly ... very slowly!!

Well the margarita Monday was fun, the apartment crawl was cancelled and Greek Olympics was good ... I went for the morning events - I had to work at 3:30pm!! Anyways, we won't know who won until the Greek Ball.
Oh yes and work, its crazy this year Audrey has a new job and needs me from 3:30 til around midnight!! All that and ...

Classes have started and things are already pretty crazy. I have 2 fourth year biology's, a geography, an intro to sociology and forensic psychology. Lots of reading and studying to do! I am off to the library now to hopefully get a start on all the work I have to do! Since I missed my class this morning. :P

The Great Trek

Today is the day ... or it was supposed to be that I would be leaving for the great trek!
However, problem after problem just so happen to occur TODAY! So what happened? you say, well let me tell you!
Well, this morning I worked in the Grill, which isn't a problem really since I told my manager I would work this morning. However, some of my favourite members came in for lunch today just as I was leaving so then I stopped to chat for a bit of course, so I didn't really leave as early as possible. Then of course saying goodbye to all the other servers! And my supervisors, the chefs, and of course the ladies in the office!!
However, while I was at work my dad had been trying to fix my computer, however, to no avail - its pretty much dead ... at least that's what I figure. My dad is going to ask my uncle to take a look at it later. Though, I still need a computer for school!! So, then dad and I had to go and buy me a new one, I had been planning on getting a laptop anyways but I had not planned on it being my main computer, it was supposed to be like for "school" and then I was going to use my desktop for personal ... so to hold my music, movies, and games.
Since I got my computer from a local store ... not a chain ... my computer will not be ready until tomorrow; so we will head out by tomorrow my noon.
Then of course, there's the fact that I still wasn't packed!! There is that fact, of course and the fact that I have WAY TOO much stuff!! Not too much stuff I say, just not a minimalist lifestyle that would be more accommodating for moving cross-country twice a year! I ask you ... Can you only life with 3 pairs of jeans? A few tops? A couple sweaters? 1 pair of shoes, sandals, and boots; EACH?

I DO NOT THINK SO!!

I am joking ... sort of. I am sure there are people like that out there, and no offence is meant ... I just have no idea -- ABSOLUTELY NONE -- how it can possibly be done! I would never be able to live like that; I am sure I could do better but lets not think of that. I enjoy my materialistic ways .. for now.

On another note, the next couple days is MY vacation time; so I am going to enjoy it, relax, read, and maybe do a few sudoku puzzles.

enjoy your LAST long weekend!! :D
you know you love me,

My Weekend Off

Hello again!

I had booked this weekend off because it was my uncle's wedding and I didn't want to miss it!! I got both Saturday and Sunday off as well as today (Monday)! The ceremony was outside by the lake and it was absolutely gorgeous!! Whitney (now my aunt :D) looked absolutely amazing! My dad drove the bridal party to the location in his '62 red Invicta Buick!! I took quite a few pictures with my new camera! (Dad gave it to me) I'll be posting them on facebook soon! The dance was not a formal one which was awesome no boring speeches just food, booze, and dancing and lots of fun!!!!
Sunday was spent relaxing reading and watching movies as well as some organizing ... more of which I am doing today -- I leave to go across country for school on Friday!!!
Today, I watched the Sigmund Freud biography which was really interesting lol ... I know I'm a geek!! Now I am blogging to avoid packing!! Although, I am slowly running out of interesting tidbits to write about thus I must sign off and get back to my life or rather packing it up and moving it yet again ... for another two years this moving craziness will continue!! The great trek to and from home and school!! I can't wait for it to be all over! However, if I am gonna go on to do my Masters it will be more moving, however, no longer will I be looking do far away from home!

getting back to the 'real' world,
you know you love me,

Gettin All Dolled Up!

Hi there,

So I have been getting all dressed up today I decided that since I had the entire day off I was going to have my own spa day since I didn't book an appointment or want to spend money on a real spa since I have other things in the works! So I had a bubble bath and did my own nails!! But not to worry! All of my absolute wonderfulness will not go to waste SINCE my uncle's wedding is tonight!! So excited!

Last night, after I got home from work (an awesome day I might add; really busy made lots of money!) I headed down the street to my uncle's (and soon-to-be aunt's) house! We had champagne and strawberries and went over stuff for today of course!!

Anyways, I still have a few last minute things to do ... change into my dress, put on my earnings, do my makeup and finish my hair!

Anyways, you know you love me,
gorgeous as always,

Talking about Seven simple ways to get - and keep - wealth

Seven simple ways to get - and keep - wealth - Investing Deirdre McMurdy - Sympatico / MSN Finance

I found this article on my home page which is most obviouly sympatico.ca!! I think that the five points that are brought up are good ones to be considered! Even now, whilst I am in piles of debt and still in school and planning on a few more years of being in school!

"1. Always set aside at least 10 per cent of your earnings and "pay yourself" first. Once you have established that habit, you will soon find that you don't miss that amount and it has little overall impact on your budget."

I think this is an awesome idea; however, at the time doesn't exactly work for me personally since I don't tend to worl for 8 months of the year. However, during the summer since I am a server I tend to put my entire paycheck - thats right 100% of my paycheck towards my credit line! So I essentially live off of the tips I make and this works well since I am really good at my job ... being a people person and all that!

"2. When it comes to spending, learn to delineate between need and want and remember that no matter how much you spend, there will always be more that you want."

For me, my dad installed a program on my computer called "Quicken: Cash Manger" its a computer program that helps you track your spending and assests (property and such)! If you do onine banking you can directly download your debt interactions and withdrawals and deposits from your banks website! You also can 'tag' each item into groeries, dining, clothes, etc. So after 1 year you can create a fairly accurate budget and it shows you where exactly your money is going! I love it and think that if you need financial planning you should look into this program or a similar one! This also goes into point 3.

Everyone has money and everyone needs to find ways to save more so this is my say and such!

A Little Adventure

Hi,

I just thought I would fill you in on my little adventure yesterday before I head to bed (I work at 6am)!

I went to visit with family friends Karen, Matt, and Michelle who live in Collingwood. Driving with my mom we listened to the radio and it was a fairly uneventful drive except for those few crazies who obviously did not know how to drive all that well!

We drove through Horseshoe Valley and I haven't for a while, and had totally forgotten how gorgeous it looks in the summer when all the ski hills are covered in grass, with the golf courses and all the trees! Also, the beach is my favourite - looking out over the blue water!

Michelle and I went out for dinner (Matt had to go to work! party pooper! ha ha) and then strolled the main drag eating Norman's Nephew's frozen yogurt!! yummm!! Strawberry-Oreo and Strawberry-Watermelon!! Its the greatest place on the planet; you can mix any 2 flavours you want in ice cream or frozen yogurt!

Oh, and today I got up early went to work with mom so I could clean the hall for her and afterwards I met with my friend Laura, from work, who I also went to high school with!! It was great fun, I love how we now are much better friends then in high school!!



you know you love me and my fun!

My New Friend

So at some point last week someone abandoned the cutest little tabby cat around my street. She (or he) is declawed so she is not a stray. I feel so bad for the poor thing its straving so I have been giving it some of my cat's food and its so sad she eats it all so fast! My dad gets annoyed cause now it won't want to leave! But, I cannot just leave it to starve! My mom has been feeding it occassionally as well. And says that she's going to call the SPCA but I hope she doesn't, hopefully we can find it a home. Or keep it, but that is unlikely, since we already have 2 cats and a dog! So if you're in the Ontario area let me know if you'd like a kitty! Its very cute! If I can find the camera I'll post some pictures!!
Anyways, I have decided to call it Tabby, since its a fairly gender neutral name, however, chances are since its declawed its fixed so it no longer has a gender.

As for work, I am kind of over the drama and am getting over it! Anyways I have three days off (today, tomorrow, and wednesday).
Today: did not do too much do to the lack of sleep due to the fact I got completely involved in my book and was up to the wee hours of the morning.
Tomorrow: I plan to be more productive and continue packing, and then mom and are going to Collingwood to visit some friends; so some good times!
Wednesday: I am going to clean the hall for mom and then meet Laura for lunch! > She's got the morning grill shift and since I am off it works perfect for our lunch chat sessions!

So I have started counting the days til I am back at school and moving into my new apartment with some pretty, sexy, kick-ass people!!

<<21>>

you know you love me,
xoxo
