The Dr. Pepper and the ice cream

The Dr. Pepper and the ice cream a tale of a float

You didn't see what I did there?

Anyway, today I woke up for breakfast in my aunt's house and ate trail mix and drank Dr. Pepper.

A winning fucking combination! I know.

Then for lunch to start things out I am eating ice cream. I had to refreeze it because it melted in the bowl yesterday. Damnit!

Hellbound Heart

I was introduced to a book called Hellbound Heart by my friend Alex P.
   He told me it was going to be insane. The most insane horror book I have read was Call of Cthulu. It was  purely haunting. I read Stephen King too.
    The journey seems different...

It is time for a new post

I have been on Battle Star Galactica kick. I have never watched it all and what a perfect time.
And yesterday watching Star Trek the Nex Generation I realized . I read so much sci-fi and get lost in many alien worlds.
It is great!

I still need to find a new job after being fired. But all is well and I have to learn from it.

Ah internal thoughts!

But my friend has been watching or loving more and a more Star Gate. Another fantastic fucking show.
He wants the Anubis helmet. And thing is sweet looking but really expensive.

But I digress.

I have been watching:
Dig
Battle Star Galactica.
the Americans
I want to watch Shameless but there's a shit ton of shows.
Shameless
I need to watch more Big Bang Theory as well. I am on season 4

Anime:
Psycho Pass season 2
Battery   (not as much)
Mob Psycho 100
Hetalia season 2
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Star Dust Crusaders season 1 (so much Jojo)

Work, ching, work

Work has been brutal. And I love to use brutal because the hours don't make a lick of sense.
And if the hours don't make a lick of sense what good is it.
Do you just to turn into a fucking zombie?
Yes, that is the answer.
Does reality melt and blend? I dunno about it but Phillip K Dick maybe the 'King of Mindfuck'
seriously, he would be. After reading the book Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and watching the movie a Scanner Darkly. I was always a fan of the surrealist Dick just because of his melty presentation of reality.
Beautiful! Blimey-goddamn-fuckity --vundabar!

Fuck this. It is way too early right now. Getting up at 4 a.m. is very hard and 6 is right up there as well.

I am watching the Americans.

A show about Russian spies that have infiltrated the United States during the epicenter of the cold war.
Or maybe the 60's.

Either way it was intriguing enough of a story for me to watch.

The Americans (1 ep in)
DIG (1 ep in)

Years and years of Lost

Lost was so crazy of a journey. It ended with me in tears.

The whole show was a bit of a mixed bag but it ended up being so great in the end.
People complained left in right when it ended but maybe I was just sad.

I loved the ending but know that a lot has happened in my life. This summer alone I have had 2 deaths in the family. So maybe I was ultra vulnerable.

Either way it was a crazy journey and I enjoyed the 1-4 season. The 5th and 6th did not make much sense but the 6th definitely had solid episodes. Where yet again I was caring more for the characters.

I think some of the mis congruence deals with all the shows writers. There was a solid vision but it was muddied up with too many visions.

I feel that there was strong writing but containing a serialized show with that many actors is a miracle.  Again , a journey because I started it in 2009. So it took me a long while to finish because I was in college. I also watched a lot of shows along the way.

My favorite character was Jon Locke. He was so nutty. Yeah, you'd say Jack because he is a born leader but something about Locke also wanting to lead and not knowing why he was there. Always searching to get rid of the disease of his own idea of being disabled. Living transcendently as best as he could. The island calls people for a reason.
And yes I was confused about what the ending meant. Sure, they all died at different times but what about their true calling. Was it always for them to meet. There are powerful scenes, tearful scenes, action scenes, humanist scenes. Lost is about people with problems but we see ourselves in all the characters. Or maybe a little bit.
It is a highly cathartic show. Highly moving and ever changing and I am happy there was closure.
I didn't know how it would end. And it was a great ending the way it did. I am happy I watched it.

Some of my friends said the writing was lousy. But I took away different talking points from the show. I also wanted to see what other people wrote about it. Other perspectives for me were insightful.
