So, I need a new frigging laptop.  Maybe I should just forget about the laptop accidental protection and commit to just buying a new one every year.  Or maybe I should suck it up and pay the extra $50 for the windows monopoly tax even though that thought makes me shudder.  Or maybe I should stick it to the man by submitting a story to digg about it.

In other news, it's summer-ish.  This means two things: (1) it's too fucking hot out and why the fuck does the AC turn of at 6:00pm at work every day; and (2) my internet connection goes up and down faster than [censored by theantix].  I am going to switch to Clearwire in the next couple of weeks because it's stupid that hot weather makes me drop connections.  Fuck you very much, Qwest.

Episodic TV season finales review:

24: Worst season evar capped by worse season finale evar.  They had such a great premise for this season with Jack being in a Chinese jail to escape from, but instead they just re-issued past plot points until I was bored in the face.  Yes I realize that makes no sense.

Heroes: So awesome, I cried a little bit.  Yeah, I'm a sucker.  This has got to be the best show on TV right now. 

Lost: Season finale marked the official rebirth of Lost after the horrible abortion that was the 2nd season.  3rd season kept turning things around and with the last ep and announced ending schedule it's back to how awesome it was in the 1st season, maybe better.

Smallville: Am I the only sucker out there still watching this show?  Regardless, it was a pretty solid but not spectacular finish.  I mean, everyone loves a good cliffhanger but did you really need to put every single character in jeopardy?

Jericho: fucking bullshit that they canceled this little gem of a show.  All it was missing was zombies, and it would have been perfect.

House: Not really strictly episodic show, but still a very interesting conclusion, it has me verily intrigued to see what is in store for next season.

Weeds: Just throwing this in there because they need to have more fucking episodes of this show, and soon.  The nail biting season ending cliffhanger was like two billion years ago and I really want to see what happens next so plsfxthx.

Work has been insane the past few weeks.  They are piling way too much work on me so I can't do a quality job on any of it.  And now another co-worker I work with is quitting so I guess I'll have to take over that job, too.  Fucking great.  In the last few days I produced two large-ish fuckups, which is just jolly, so now I need to spend the next few days cleaning up that fucking mess.

THE WORD OF THE DAY HAS BEEN FUCK.  I BLAME THE WEATHER.
