Share the blame.

Am I the only person who didn't realize that the actor who plays Thor is the same guy who plays Captain Kirk in the reboot of Star Trek? A beard and long hair really changes his look.

Either that or I got distracted by the guy that plays Loki. Possibly both.

So I've bought an iPad. While I really enjoy my iPhone and think it is awesome I'm actually kind of disappointed by the iPad. I think I just prefer my pc computer. It is a format I'm very familiar with. I miss having a browser that does what I want it to do. I even miss having a mouse. I never thought I would go through right-click withdrawal but I miss the versatility of it. Maybe I should have bought a MacBook instead of a tablet. Or another pc. I'm seriously considering returning this thing. It took me forever to figure out how to find the pics I was saving. The format is so alien. Maybe I need to give it more time. Or I need to learn how to hack the thing the way I have with a pc. I hate hate hate the browsers offered. What is the equivalent of a right click on an iPad? Off to google I go. Again. So frustrating. Happy holidays people!

My parrot has chewed through not one, not two but three of my watches this year. Fortunately I buy my cheap-o watches at the local bargain store. I just bought yet another brand name unknown watch last week and already he has chewed a piece off of the face. It takes just seconds for him to nibble through plastic/wood/aluminum cans while I, his humble owner/parent/purchaser of chew toys is distracted. The watch is still usable at least and I doubt anyone will even notice that a decorative doohickey is missing off of it.

I just blew 400 dollars of backpay on all 7 seasons of Voyager. I'm really enjoying the show!

I just worked my first nightshift alone in the area of the hospital lab that I've been assigned. I was very nervous at first but it really wasn't that hard. It was a slow night which helped. I liked the quiet as it allowed me to rewrite most of my notes. They were a mess.

Lately, I've been binging on Voyager episodes ala youtube. I never really watched the show back when it first aired( I was all Star Trekked out from TNG) but now I realize that I have missed Trek's optimism about the future. It seems to be all 'dark, gritty' sci-fi nowadays(Say hello, Battlestar Galactica)! Not that I don't like dark and gritty mind you. I loved Battlestar Galactica. I just like a little bright and happy, "we are innocent explorers of the universe" every now and again. Plus they have a diverse cast and a woman for a captain! I really appreciate the effort that Gene Roddenberry made to be inclusive(he is deeply missed in the franchise for sure**).

**Let's not discuss the travesty that was Star Trek: Enterprise. Or the new movie which, while not horrible, wasn't nearly as awesome as it could have been(Uhura still managed to be wallpaper and they refrigerated Spock's mom-ugh).

I drove for six hours today. I am no longer nervous behind the wheel. \o/ I got my first windshield bugsplat! Am very pleased.
