TRUEBLUE

Hello everyone. I am new to the site (kinda new to firefly too). I heard about the series ages ago, but had a difficult time tracking it down in Oz. I saw the movie when it came out (the trailer was fantastic and the movie great - of course the TV series is so phenomenally great that I doubt much would even be able to be compared to it). I was saddened to find out I only have a few episodes I can enjoy, and it just reinforced my view that Rupert Murdoch is THE DEVIL! :fork: I chose TrueBlue because: 1) I am intrigued with the concept of Blue Sun, and 2) I am an Australian.

Of course I had to see the movie - didn't even know a series ever existed. But after seeing the trailors on TV, the movie was an obvious must see. There wasn't an aspect about it that wasn't impressive, from the graphics, to the characters - and - GOOD GRIEF! - what a story?!?! -- I had to own it as soon as it came out on DVD -- then my husband hit me with the astounding news that there had been a series and we could get the ENTIRE THING on DVD!!! Yup, I've worn them out. :) I don't know what planet I was inhabiting at the time to NOT know about the series, but I didn't. And come to find out, other passionate scifi people I know also were likewise ignorant. How on earth could it not be a HUGE hit?! I hope somehow it can come back.

Okay, so. Today started out as a good day. I wasn't tired when I woke up, which is good. I go to my one class and then come home. Thinking, Oh. I love Wednesdays, one class and then i can spend the rest of the day doing whatever. So, today, i decide to clean, because I couldn't leave because some guy was coming to fix the garage door. So i'm cleaning and being productive when I realize. Ew. The cat litter box is disgusting and needs to be clean right away. So i do it. I take the trash bag out to the trash cans in my shed, which is directly behind the garage. Little did I know that the cursed door (from the garage to my house) closed behind me. Yeah. I was locked out. Not cool. -_- I had no key and no cell phone with me. I mean, seriously, that door is never locked during the day. The ONE time it is, I get locked out. *sigh* So I go next door to borrow their phone. I can't remember my father's cell phone number (his work is cloest to my house), so I call my mom asking her to call my father to ask him to unlock the house for me. I can't get a hold of her. So i decided. Hey, my brother has his key. I'll go to the high school and ask him for it. I get to the school, which, luckily for me, is only two blocks away, and I get all these weird looks from all the kids there and finally find my brother. I get keys! So after a cold, and wet morning. I get home. Then 30 minutes later my brother calls to get picked up for lunch from school and we get burgers and he buys. Haha. So the day wasn't completely terrible, but i do not want to repeat that again. I mean, I never leave my house without keys, I go to do something good, like throwing out the trash and wham, locked out. *sigh* Well, you can't have good luck all the time. At least the garage got fixed. Wow, this was a long entry.

So yeah, the Oklahoma Blood donor people came to my base today. I always give blood since I'm a universal donor. (Means everybody can recieve my blood, but I can only get my type. O neg) As a little background info, my veins are extremely hard to find. After they poked my finger to test my iron (perfect ~_^) They take me over to the chair to draw my blood. They sit my down and look at my left arm. They can't see any veins so they put a strap on my upper arm to force the veins to pop out. Nothing to see. They felt around my arm and thought they found one, but it had a pulse (It was an Artery, they can't use those) They switch to my right arm. They think they found another one. So they poke me... Nothing came out. They twisted and moved it around for a while. For those of you that have never given blood. Moving that needle when it's in you HURTS! They figured that nothing was going to come out of that arm so they went back to the Artery side. They decided that the artery could be under the vein... it was a risk they were willing to take. Long story short, shorter than it could be I should say. I have/had 2 colored bandages on both of my arms. I'm woozy from the loss of blood and I can't lift my arms above my head. And with that last note of interest, I am going to bed. I'll post how I feel in the morning/after work tomorrow. Have a goodnight and sweetdreams to you all. -Steve-

Hi there, Today I had to go to the Palace Green Library in Durham to do notes for my dissertation so I went out for the 10am bus. Except it didn't turn up. So I had to wait for the next one so I waste an hour that I could otherwise have been making notes. The same thing happened last Friday. My Russian Revolution seminar started at 2pm so I went out at 12 and the bus to Durham didn't turn up then either. I had to get a bus to sunderland and then get the Metro to Newcastle making me 15 minutes late. I swear down if I could get away with boycotting the service I would but I depend on it far too much. I'm not taking any chances tomorrow so I'm going straight to Sunderland. TTFN Jennifer -x-
