Reality TV

I don't care for reality tv.  I have watched a few but the majority of the shows just baffle me.  I just don't understand how most of them even get started and why people even care to watch it.

I was watching a rerun of "Sex and the City" on Style network, the one where Miranda's mother dies and Carrie gets mad at Aiden when he buys her a new Mac.  Still don't understand, after all these years, why she gets mad at him.  She's a writer, she needs something to write on since obviously a pen and paper are so last season and he does something generous and she gets mad at him?  Anyways, after "Sex and the City" went off, "Jerseylicious" came on.

I watched about 15 mins of it and I just don't get the appeal of the show.  All it's about is the life of employees at a hair salon.  How is that entertaining?  One of the girls was gonna throw a big party for her 25th birthday.  I will say that the theme for her party was pretty cool.  It was gonna be the year she was born which I think was 1987.  Pretty cool theme.  I was a bit surprised when she said her age 'cause I thought she had to be at least 10 years older than that.  Lay off the tanning girl!  After that, I shut it off.  If I want to see people at a party, I'll go to one or throw one myself.

The majority of reality shows are about normal, regular, everyday people doing normal, regular, everyday things that interest them.  Where is the entertainment in that?  Also, it's so sad that so many channels that use to have really good programming have gone to almost nothing but reality shows.  Even GSN (game show network) started airing "Dancing w/ the Stars".  How is that a game show?

I would love to see this genre just go away.  "Dancing w/ the Stars", "The Bachelor" and shows like that that are more competition can stay but these ones about regular people need to go and fast!  Bring back scripted programs w/ actors and actresses.  You know, real talent?  I'm dreaming again, aren't I?   lol

Pet Society

From a Pet Society friend.  Have to share this!  

EVERYONE PLEASE READ:

We have TWO months (supposedly) I'm sure there is NO PS TEAM anymore just a random coder at EA probably keeping our server alive before they shut it all down. BUT THE POINT IS THIS:

THEY WANT US TO GIVE UP that is why they are dragging this out for TWO MONTHS

THEY WANT THE NUMBER OF PLAYERS TO DROP

THEY WANT US TO GIVE UP ON THE GAME AND OUR PETS

THEY WANT US TO GET TIRED OF COMPLAINING AND SPREADING OUR PETITION

WE HAVE TO STAY STRONG IF WE REALLY LOVE OUR PETS

I know it's just a pixel pet, and the world is really screwy right now with the news but every time I log into my game and see my little adorable baby waving at me, my heart breaks. I truly love PS and playing. It is relaxing. It is cute. It lets me have a place in the world where there is no murder or crime ONLY CUTENESS. I am also allergic to animals even though I love them so much, so this is my only pet. I am seriously depressed and heartbroken over this closure. I know EA does NOT care about us or our pixels. They know that eventually we will all get over it, but I REFUSE TO STOP GIVING THEM HELL FOR TAKING AWAY MY BABY.

DON'T GIVE UP, DO NOT LET THEM WIN. DON'T STOP SPREADING THE WORD.

Even if they can save ONE server for the loyal people.
Even if they can switch it over to PopCap

DO NOT GIVE UP

Save Pet Society

EA has announced that after almost 5 years, they are shutting down Pet Society.  The only reason they give is to make room for other games.  We don’t want other games, we want Pet Society!  We should try everything we can to save our pets!  This game is more than a game to us!  I’ve been playing this game for a little over 4 years.  My little Calliope Star, my little blue pet from the heavens, means a lot to me.  I’ve spent many hours and money giving her an amazing pixel life.  The saddest part about all of this is that I’ve met a lot of wonderful people on facebook through this game from all over the world.  This game has brought us together and now EA wants to destroy it.  

Please, sign the petition.  It might work, it might not but we should at least try.  https://www.change.org/petitions/save-pet-society-from-closure-pet-society-game-on-facebook-is-shutting-down-on-14th-june-13

Ask your friends and family to sign it also!  It doesn’t take that long and could save the game.

As sad as it might be, don’t stop playing!  If people drop off now, than EA will just justify their reasons for closing saying that no one was playing the game.  Keep playing!!  

You can also write a letter to EA at the following address:  

Electronic Arts
ATTN: CEO
209 Redwood Shores Parkway
Redwood City, CA 94065
USA

If you do write a letter to them, please, please, please be polite.  There’s no faster way to be ignored by filling your letter w/ curses and threats.  Let’s not get crazy here.  You can put in your letter how long you’ve been playing and how much the game means to you.  

Let’s do all we can to save our pets!  

it's been so damn long

i don't want to say i completely forgot about this blog but i kinda did.  i think it's been 4 years since i last posted anything.  some things have changed, others haven't.  

i, unfortunately, still don't have a job but i am starting to work on making jewelry!  i love it.  i found out about polymer clay from a facebook friend and decided to check it out.  it's so much fun!  i'm not that great at it just yet but i'm doing my best.  i even sold a pair of earrings on ebay!  if that doesn't make a gal feel good, i'm not sure what does.  lol

sadly, our 2 cats, conan o'brien and monique katrina passed away.  conan died on thanksgiving day 2010 and monique died in august 2011.  it was so heart-breaking to lose both cats within a year.  i wanted to hold off getting any cats for a long time.  one, i couldn't deal w/ the heartbreak and two, my mom and i both are kinda allergic to them.  it's not life-threatening but it's annoying.  can easily be taken care of w/ an allergy pill so like i said, it's not the worst of allergies.  but, my mom, who i swear you cannot say no to, decided that she wanted another cat almost immediately after monique died.  she just had to have another cat in this house.  so after searching all over, she finally found one on craigslist.  her and my brother went to pick it up while i stayed home enjoying the last final minutes of a clean and quiet house.  cats are messy and crazy.  she comes home and i look in the carrier and not see one but TWO, TWO CATS!!!  what? what? what?  she said ONE!!!  le sigh  we named the one cat jimmy and the other cat was named by my dad since he was even less happy than me that mom brought home two cats.  he likes "the big bang theory" so he named the cat sheldon since he thought it was a male.  it's not but the name seems perfect for her.  she's so petite, even now 2 1/2 years since my mom brought her home.  holding jimmy is like holding a baby, he's so big but not fat.  like conan was my baby so is jimmy.  i call him a stalker sometimes 'cause he'll just follow me from room to room.  lol  i love them! ♥  i never thought i could love another cat after my baby, conan, died.  it was just so heart-breaking.  have to stop talking about it or the tears will come.  also, we got the cats the day before my birthday.  it was nice.

we had to stop cable for a bit and invested in netflix, hulu and a few roku boxes.  OMG  i love my roku box!  ♥  we got cable again a few months ago and when my mom asked me if i wanted a box for my room, i declined.  with netflix, hulu, pandora and crunchyroll, my tv viewing time is set!  i need nothing more.

what else has changed?  hmm  i feel like a bunch has changed but maybe not?  i stopped dying my hair.  it was getting too much to have to dye it once a month.  my hair never seems to grow until i dye it.  then bam hair starts flowing from my scalp.  so annoying.

i'm still single but i've made my peace w/ it.  one day that time will come and i'll be ready but for now, i'll still work on perfecting myself.  right now, i don't think i'm in a good place to even have a relationship.  it's all good though.  and i'm serious about that.  ^_^

i lost 50 pounds!  a few Christmases ago, me and my brother went in and got the wii fit.  i couldn't believe when it weighed me and said i was way over 200 pounds.  i knew i was fat but damn!  that definitely made me get my ass in gear.  i have slacked off a bit since then but i still haven't gone back above 200.  so, that's good.  now that spring has sprung i'll get back into it again.

oh, about a month and a half before conan baby died, my mom broke her chest bone.  :(  it was horrible!  she didn't have to get surgery but she had to sleep sitting up for almost a month!  she slept in the living room, on her chair.  she's all better now but it was rough for her.

i think that's it.  some good, some bad.  that's life for you though.  i think overall though, in these past 4 years, there have definitely been more good than bad so that's awesome!  will try to post more but no promises. lol  ♥
