So where the hell am I going to watch the rest of Lost Season Five with closed captions or subtitles online? Seriously, watching Lost is like watching a miniseries. You can't just stop at the middle, knowing there are more to go until the end. Hulu stopped at episode nine.

I loved my dream this morning. Honestly, every parts of the dream is somewhat related to Lost. the dream this morning )

I wake up with my fingers smelling like ear wax because I have been literally plugging my ears. I blame it on Dixon from that 2000-y movie, Wasted. The dude had his right ear bleeding sometimes because he burst it trying to rescue a friend who drowned. The day is over but I can still feel those thing sticking to my skin and it just won't go away. Oh, and my ears hurt. I think I am getting an ear infection or something.

Nov. 7th, 2009 @ 12:47 am Just to get it off my chest...
Most of the folks on my readership list seem to know at least the idea of this..

It wasn't done because he was Muslim.
It wasn't done because he was a soldier.
It wasn't done because he lost his job.
It wasn't done because of being a postal worker, or a day trader.
It wasn't done because of being an unpopular teenager.
It wasn't done because of video games, or TV.
It wasn't done because women, or men didn't like him.
It wasn't done because it was Monday.

Mass murdering shooters commit their crimes because they have gotten so angry about imagined and real irritations in their lives that they loose their ability to make correct moral choices, and in a sudden burst they seek to unload all of their frustration and rage on to the faceless "THEY" that the shooter feels is causing them pain. That's not to say that these people are legally insane, and not responsible for their actions. Quite the opposite, and that's what average human beings, confronted with these crimes, find so hard to comprehend. The things that lead to a spree shooting is the same things that each and every one of us endure every day. Someone doesn't like us. Someone fucks us over. We fuck ourselves over, but feel the need to blame something not us. An accident happens. Someone does an impersonal slight.

In a real way mass murder is the opposite of suicide, though sometimes the shooter also seeks death. With suicide, the person just takes and takes and takes in all these negative messages, feelings, and actions,. They have lost the ability to filter them, or see anything good. Life becomes painful, and a punishment. The suicidal person just wants help, or at least to end the suffering. A mass murderer also loses the ability to filter through the stresses of life, BUT instead of focusing their desperation, and anger on themselves, they focus it outward. Mass murder is about revenge, pure and simple. The faceless THEY are behind all of this, and they must be made to pay. The rage that builds up in these people is like a malignancy on their psyche. It takes a long time to get to the point of explosion for these folks. You *never* hear about the guy who woke up on a sunny day, stubbed his toe, then just snapped. There is always a deeper story of dissatisfaction, and isolation. That's the real story behind the classic neighbor who kept to themselves and never spoke. If they then went on to murder their entire family, they had been quiet because they assumed outside people hated them. Also embedded in this rage is a sense of entitlement. Not only are people working against them, but THEY DESERVE BETTER. Oh yeah. That's how it can go from just avoiding people, to wanting to shoot them. People are fucking the murderer over, and it's all personal. Just for an example most "normal" people can relate to, how many of us have stubbed our toe on a chair, and then actually attacked the chair? Pushed it over, or shoved it. It's the same type of emotion, only amplified.

The biggest reason that while shooters might be mentally ill, they can almost never be found legally insane is the simple fact that it takes planning, and reason to plan the attacks that gain them the headlines. A violent paranoid schizophrenic might hurt a lot of people in an outburst, but they don't wake up and plot what they are going to do. They are not organized. They can't go to a job day after day, hiding their rage. They can't kiss their spouse and children, and leave not a hint. Delusions of that nature can not be hidden when a person is always around other people. Mass murderers spend their days collecting things that make them angry, then putting them into a mind file, and begin to plan who they want to target, and why. The targets are usually symbolic. If the shooter thinks women are to blame, then they shoot up a room full of women. If it's co-workers, they go to the office. It's not hard to understand.

I just wanted to type this out because so many people are saying such stupid things, not realizing that you don't have to scratch the surface of a mass murder hard to find a reason, and while lifestyle details like religion, income, employment status, sexuality, or social status play a role, they aren't the *reasons* that this happen.

I am going to make more time and effort to come here. It just makes me too happy not to. I love coming alone and will always treasure the memory of that first independent trip, but having Chris here with me is the best thing of all. I'm too tired and happy to go into specifics. Just walking around, hanging out together, seeing a couple of friends, eating lots of wonderful food (I've developed a taste for waffles on this trip - not American-style hot waffles with syrup but the crunchier Dutch ones you can eat hot or at room temperature, and that come coated in every permutation of chocolate, strawberry, cherry, vanilla, caramel, and nut topping you can imagine) and smoking vast tonnages of across-the-universe-quality weed, hash, and kif. I mean, the stuff that was considered strong nine years ago is on the mild end of the menu now, and the current state-of-the-breeding-art strains are just insanely strong. Too strong, many people claim; it renders them unconscious. Chris has gone semiconscious a couple of times, but in general he has held up admirably. Me, I just suck it up and love it. There is no pain here to speak of. Maybe eventually I'd get used to the massive concentrated doses of THC and the pain would return, but for the past four days it has been only a distant memory. If anyone ever tells you medical marijuana doesn't work, send them here and I will laugh in their face. (And just that should be enough to get them high.)

I was going to post pictures on Flickr, but the iPhone app is way too slow. For now, there are some on Twitter that you needn't be a member to see; just go to twitter.com and search for docbrite or @docbrite.

My sister and I got our new glasses and she got her contacts. It was fun to watch her struggle for a while before getting the hang of it, haha. I look weird. But then again, when have I NOT look weird? Speaking of, she caught me laughing in the car on the way home. I was thinking of a random thought. For some reason after knowing we were listening to N Sync, I thought of Hank Moody's line in last week's episode. "To our beautiful family, our black president, and my magificent dong." Then I thought of Dean Winchester and figured I wouldn't be surprise if the brothers are Republicans. Then I imagined Dean saying that exact line and doing the Michael Jackson's crotch grabbing scene. From that point, I was wondering what about girls? What do we say? Magificent cunt? I ended up imagining the last version of Ruby, Genevieve Cortese, saying Hank Moody's quote sarcastically and do the female version of a crotch shot.

Fuck.
I hate Thursday or waiting for Thursday because it bring out the major Supernatural geek in me.
I know, I have no life.



And yes, apparently I miss Ruby.
Nevermind that she fucked things up badly.

Sometimes being around people is very easy for me, other times it is very difficult. When and why this varies is anyone's guess.

Tonight I went over to Drew and Clay's for the usual Sunday evening dinner/wine/social gathering, and after about an hour I just wasn't feeling like there was any way I could incorporate myself into the group, so I snuck out and went home when I knew nobody would be paying attention.

It wasn't anyone's fault...nobody was being obnoxious or rude...it just seemed as if everyone else was engaged in conversation and I couldn't see any way to make myself a part of it.

This is really frustrating. I don't know if it's social anxiety or just general misanthropy or what.

So how many seasons are there left? There are only thirteen/fourteen episodes and yet the season never seem to end because there were so much happening. I am surprised she did not die. I cried when he really died. Are they even going to discuss about Richard? It has now come to the point where I am sick of the show but I want to see more answers to those questions. Hell, reading spoilers doesn't help this time.

Last night was pretty cool. My sister had two bowl of candies and at the end of the night, they were gone. I found a bag of Sugar Babies in the nephews' stash. I can't eat it without thinking of That 70's Show. You know, the episode where Hyde steals the candy from Kelso. Then at the end of the episode he wakes up from a bad dream and then eat the candy saying, "Hm, stolen Sugar Babies." The first set of kids were three little Minnie Mouse girls. The two elder ones kept saying "Trick or Treat" after giving them candies and didn't leave and eventually they just grab a bunch from the bowl then went away without saying thank you. Geez and you think Minnie Mouse is sweet, lol.

Happy November.

I feel I have been neglecting you, gentle eljay. That all-consuming time-sucker that we call Facebook has certainly usurped your place as my primary outlet for random thoughts, and for that I am sorry. I will try to do better.

With that said, I'm pretty happy because it looks very likely that Shane will be returning in the next couple of weeks. His job in New Hampshire is ending, and [info]lvabfab is hooking him up with some Southwest passes to get him from Manchester to Seattle. He'd just have to buy a ticket from Seattle to Anchorage - and I believe the PFD special is going on at the moment, so he should be able to get a fairly cheap ticket.

In addition to being Samhain (I'm not a real pagan or anything, I just think it's a prettier word than 'Halloween'), today also marks my one-year anniversary with Shane. It doesn't seem like it's been that long...although, the actual amount of time that we've spent physically together in the past year is probably more like five or six months. No matter.

School continues to go fairly well. I'm trying to remember that I can't be perfect an all of my work. I'm especially trying to remember that since it's still my first semester in college, and I know that I've always had a tendency to start things very strong and gung-ho, and then quickly begin to flag.

I have a ton of music to learn in the next six weeks or so. It seems a bit overwhelming, but then I remind myself that it could be much less interesting work.

I'll head to bed now, as I'm singing Schubert's "Litanei" (one of the most beautiful pieces of German lieder that there is) for Anchorage Lutheran Church's All Souls Day services. Woot to the boot!

Not doing much this year because I need to finish cleaning up. Housesitters arrive tomorrow, and we leave on Monday! I have the pumpkins lit, though, and am giving out candy. Frankie helped me greet the last bunch of kids. I picked him up for them to pet, and one of them -- ten years old at least -- said, "I never petted a cat before." This made me sad.



If I'd known the smiley one was going to come out looking so much like Ernie, I'd have gotten a football-shaped pumpkin and made a Bert one too. Or is it just me?

Things have smoothed out, though Rhode Island is definitely only just above a leper colony for places I would recommend to people to visit. Especially if you don't have a lot of money. Sheesh. It's not very exciting. Even the TV lacks. They have boring news.

Mom's little convention is going apace. So far we haven't had to do much with it. Just eat a dinner, and sign a bunch of autographs. One of the games this year is an autograph collecting game. Brian and I are "rare". LOL! I plan to go down later and see if I can paint a piece for a Paint Your Own contest.

Also, I look cute today. Orange shirt with the word "Spooky," black cords, black boots with orange flame, long goth coat, and velour witches hat. Tonight I dress as a mouse. There will be pics.

I'm trying to find a way to make it to H.P. Lovecraft's grave, but I don't know if that'll happen. If it does, I'll definitely get pics.

Tah for now!

The Curious Case Of Dean Winchester


I like how they focus more on Bobby Singer. The dude is awesome and need more spotlight, too. Maybe it is just me but I thought Chad Everett did a great job. Where did he come from and who is he? It didn't occur to me until much later than Castiel hadn't made an appearance. Good. I like a short break from this whole end of the world talk. Dean said, "killing you is officially on my bucket list." Turned out Bucket List is a movie. I think I will check that out sometimes. One thing to do on my bucket list, after seeing this episode, is to learn more card games like poker and ginny! Geez.

Oct. 27th, 2009 @ 11:46 pm Today is fired... from a cannon... into the ocean.
The trip to Rhode Island was practically an Odyssey. We begin with getting lost on the way to the airport this morning. I almost missed my flight, and I was told that my checked luggage may be "separated" from me.

OH... I almost forgot the asspuckering 10 minutes when I thought my wallet with my ID, and my phone were in the car that just left me at the airport. You know... the stuff I need to get onto a plane, and means to communicate with party members? That had me on the verge of tears until I found them in my carry-on.

I make it on the plane, and other than the "your clothing may be arriving some time after you do," I'm finally on my way. Flight is uneventful. Then when we've landed and I rise to disbark, Mother Nature grins evilly and bestows her monthly gift. And I'm not wearing any underwear. Fortunately I did come prepared, but I was doing the inner dance of, "hurry hurry hurryhurryhurry" as other people on the flight are taking their sweet time getting luggage down and leaving.

But, ok, I manage. I'm in Atlanta, and I'm waiting on my Mom. She calls. Her bus that's bringing her to the airport got detoured by a wreck, then lost... She may not make the flight. I have to go find out if this will be a huge problem. Good news! They'll put her on a later flight. So, ok, I may have to come to Boston alone, but I'm a big girl. I can manage. Then better news! My flight is delayed, and Mom makes it on time. Then... fucking Cyclops. Mom was bringing Brian's pro grade video camera, the one he shot all the wrestling video on, and someone stole it off the bus. That was a sucky call to make to Brian. But, it's just stuff. Mom'll replace it.

Now, here's the kicker... All this happened when I had not been asleep since 2 pm yesterday

I was watching The Ultimate Gift and I cant get over how Jason have a striking resemblence to David from college. I remember when in an assembly during the SVP program I sat few rows behind him. I thought it was interesting how much he looked and acted like this guy I know, Matt. Eventually I met David through others. He's an interesting one of a kind person. Jason in the movie reminded me of him and I meant that in a good way. Seriously, is it just me or that actor looks a lot like David [and Matt]?

By the way, it was a cute movie.

Oct. 26th, 2009 @ 04:13 am overall of lost season three


This is the longest time I take to finish a season. Stupid internet. The third season of Lost was quite interesting to me. More mysteries, more betrayals, etc. I have grew fond of this specific character since day one. It has nothing to do with his background or the actor that plays him. I just like that character in general. So I was already giving myself headaches before the actual event happened. Then I didn't cry because it was poetic and I don't know, it was perfect. Though, he could just... actually, he had no choices. Poor guy. An advice to you all. You know Lost is like those shows that eventually eliminate people to the last person. So my advice, don't get too fucking close to a character! And don't read spoilers if you are taking it serious.

Anyway, I will continue with the series again eventually. I heard several different opinions about season four. Two dislike it so let's see. They already kill off my favorite character so how worse can it become? Also, that stupid ending is likely to give you more stupid questions and leave you wanting more answers, right?

Best season so far? I don't know. Don't ask me.

I remember seeing this VHS tape with "Flowers In the Attic" written on the side in my oldest sister's handwriting. When I asked what that was, they said it was the homevideo of my third birthday. They said they taped it over a movie. I did remember asking, or thinking, what the title really means. I remember seeing the movie with my siblings and on my own. When one of my sister saw me reading, she didn't know what it was. I told her about the movie with the four siblings stuck in the attic and that the oldest girl, Cathy, was played by that Kristin chick who played Buffy in the Buffy The Vampire Slayer movie. Of course, she doesn't know what the hell I was talking about. Jesus, how many times have we watched that movie? Could she be any more blonde?

Recently, I finished the book in within three days. My question was answered on the first page of the novel. I really love the writing style of VC Andrews. It was just amazing to read from word to word. The novel has a different ending from the movie. With the style, I was kind of disappointed because I was hoping to see how Andrews would write that scene. Obviously, the movie is far more dark than the novel. Flowers In the Attic was a good read. I ordered the rest of the series but I don't know if they will ever come through.
