Had a bit of a scare this morning. I was forraging through my cupboards for food, only to have a massive cockroach jump out at me. I've been finding littler bugs around my sinks, and had been planning to tell my landlord, but this thing was so mcuh bigger. I killed those smallers ones, and seen nothing since, but this thing was huge, and it got away. It's somewhere under my dishwasher now, after scurrying around my dishes for who knows how long. I don't want to use them now. I literally ordered chinese food, with money I really dont have, just so I wouldn't have to use my now seemingly contaminated dishes. I ran my dishwasher, so everything inside is presumably safe.
Ugh, I hate bugs so much.
I also just spent more money I don't have on business cards, I ran out weeks ago, and keep finding myself reaching to hand one out, and being like "Damn". I ordered from Staples, surprised to find their card creator has only improved since last time, but they forgot my design. SO I designed a new design, and bough 500 business card. Cost exactly the same amount of money as my chiness food. So when I work 8 hours today, really it's just gonna pay for the chinese food and business cards. Rent be damned.
I also need to buy more cigarettes, I'm down to 5. I wanna quit. But also this month is insane for things going on! I'm tryign to finish one job, start another job, finish my chapter for the month, keep up with the blog, and tv, and now I've got an exterminator coming next week and will have to literally uproot my entire apartment for him... then I plan to clean the shit out of it and put it back together. SO much work and time I don't have :( But I dunno when the exterminator is coming. Hopefully I have enough time to finish my chapter first, cause I think I'll have less time at the end of the month. My first few weeks at my new job, I don't think I'm gonna have an easy time getting extra time off. Though they did say they are happy to give me the time I need for my writing, which is nice of them. They seem great people. I can't wait for these two weeks at my old job to end.
Geekly Weekly TV Rankings:
- American Horror Story *****
Great episode of the show. Surprisingly short too, at under 40 minutes without commercials. I was screaming at my TV at multiple points throughout this episode, and definitely thought it was the best episode this season. Then they brought in Stevie Knicks, Sure she seemed to be singing for no reason, and it really didn't seem like the right time for that, but Lily Rabe really liked it, and she was singing my favourite Fleetwood Mac song. This episode was just all win. Ang that twist at the very end. This episode was all the things I love and I want more. - The Flash *****
I loved this season's premiere of The Flash. I loved Nora, loved how her plot developed. I look forward to watching her achieve her dream of saving her father. She's the best! Ralph Dibney was fun too, and I totally empathized with Iris. The scene where they phase the plane, as well as the speech she gives at the end, both made me tear up with joy. I might be too invested in this show. - South Park ****1/2
Another great episode of South Park. I loved the PC Principal and Strong Woman storyline so much. I couldn't stop laughing. And all the parallels they made with Mr. Hankey were all too classic. Great episode. - Shameless ****1/2
A lot of people were getting it on this week on Shameless. Can't believe Liam had his first encounter. I had a feeling she liked him, but man that got crazy fast. It's too bad, I thought they'd make a cute couple. Then there was Carl and that other girl, and that was cute, until she went crazy. But then it turned cute again. Oh the Gallaghers. Why can't I be that lucky with love? That said, the Fiona plot is getting boring fast. Every week she disagrees with her emo hipster boyfriend, and they argue for the episode, and she acts like a conservative bitch, and he acts all judgemental. But then in the end, he apologizes, and she tells him he was right all along and then they do the nasty, and credits roll. That's only been what 5 episodes straight now? - Into the Dark ****
This was a tumultuous roller coaster of an hour and a half. Billed as a horror Anthology, the first chapter comes off as a more unconventional romantic comedy for most the episode, with a number of surprising twists leading up to a startling game changer, and then a vindicating ending. I almost gave up after the first five minutes, when the main character eats maggot cheese. It's really gross. But when I started picking up on the comedy vibes, I was back in. Look out for Pablo, from Ash vs the Evil Dead. But the real star is the woman, Maggie. The less you want this to be straight horror, the more you'll probably enjoy this, though it goes a little horror at the end. - The Goldbergs ****
Another funny episode, though it had me wondering if this show should even still exist. Like the movie venom, it doesn't need to exist. But everyone's having fun with it so why not? I'm sure the creator is shocked it's still on as it is, but let's hope for another 6 seasons :p - Doctor Who ***1/2
It was a pretty good premiere. Not great, there were a lot of questionable bits. But Doctor Who has always been part amazing, and part crazy. With Doctor Who you just have to latch on and get pulled along for the ride. One thing's for sure. She was the Doctor. I had no problems in believing that. The way she solved the problem without direct violence was great, The creepiness of the villain was nice, though the grotesque examination of the body off screen came across as wonky. Can't wait for the rest of this season. - Riverdale ***1/2
U enjoyed this episode, though I was passing out a little. Cheryl kicks ass, the cast is perfect as usual. Though the circumstances are a little dumb, and scream spoiled rich kid problems the likes of which we'd never have to concern ourselves with. I really enjoyed all the little allusions to magic throughout the episode, I didn't enjoy Archie making the single handedly worst decision a person could make ina court room. There was at least a chance the judge was going to throw out the charges! At least let him finish before you start screaming guilty! - ZNation ***1/2
I love this show. The only person I've known who loved ZNation more than me is my ex-girlfriend. It's like the Walking Dead but fun. Except this episode wasn't all that fun, so it's not getting a great rating. But it was alright. It was very near the end of my day of DVR hell. It seems to be taking a strange direction though, but only time will tell. - The Walking Dead ***1/2
The Premiere had things I enjoyed, but I was also pretty bored throughout. And the whole scene with the glass floor was so predictable it was painful. There were times though when I felt a bit of the excitement, mainly around the beginning. Gregory was up to his old ways, but I was glad to see Maggie kick his ass and finally give him what he deserved. I was sitting at three stars, but they gave me what I wanted in the end. I used to enjoy Walking Dead more than this, but I might just be worn out from the like 12 hours of DVR I've spent all day working my way through. This is what happens when I sleep through a day (Sunday). Save me from my night shifts. subscribe at patreon.com/99geek - Black Lightning *** It's another show like Gifted, way too slow for my likings. I like characters in it, but they never seem to do anything interesting or cool. I'm holding on cause, like Gifted, it's a comic book show. This was as good an episode as some, without being great, and they also killed my favourite villain. She was bad ass, and now she's just dea,d I guess the actress wanted out. But it's too bad, she had a cool origin and personality. And was a total bad ass, while also being super hot. She will be missed.
- The Gifted **1/2
Another meh episode. Great things happened, I felt emotions when Marcos was with his baby. When he was fighting the cuckoo's control. Also the Morlocks were cool. But other than that, a whole lot of nothing happened, as per usual. God this show is always spinning their wheels, and building the drama... to more dramatic talking. It's just so boring. - Star Wars Resistance **
I watched the first two episodes, and they do a decent job of setting up the status quo for season one, using Poe Dameron as a wise mentor to the main character, then shuffling him off camera after one episode, after all Oscar Issac is expensive even in voice. But BB8 sticks around, to my disappointment considering the kid already HAD an astromech droid, that promptly disappeared when BB showed up. The racing plot was so cookie cutter from a fast and furious move, it wasn't funny. Oh and you know what else wasn't funny? The humour. That said, Neither Clone Wars or Rebels came out of the gate running, but eventually became amazing. So I'll give it more time. It's Star Wars after all. - The Last Ship *1/2
This episode bored the crap out of me. There was weird time jumps and back and forths and it was hard to keep track of. On top of that, there was a love story that was all bullshit, some alright minor stories. But man, what a snoozefest. Almost gave up half way through. It was nice seeing Chandler's kids again, strangely the only part I cared about. Lol, at least until the hard rock montage juxtapositing his daughter's tantrum to them killing terrorists in Jamaica. Oh man that was dumb. And annoyingly loud. and the whole time Chandler is just yelling "I don't know what youre saying. Why are you mad at me! Why are you yelling." like it's not even about anything. Just a waste of time. - Saturday Night Live *
I had a hard time with this. I like Awkwafina in interviews. I wanna see Crazy rich Asians. But I thought she was terrible on SNL. She didn't seem to do very good with comedic timing on stage. She seemed to be constantly reading the cue cards, and barely trying. and it threw off every sketch. The Ted Cruz sketch was the best part, and it was really short. A digital short. It was hilarious though. The Weekend Update had some great moments too, including Pete Davidson's rant about Kanye West. Definitely those are the two only parts of the episode you need to watch. - The Bisexual *
I started watching it, but my time was short, life is hectic, and though I liked the banter at the beginning, I just didn't latch on enough to overpower my desperate need to move on. Lot's to do. No time for something new and quirky.
