School's Out, Biatches!

So now I'll be working even more over the summer than I did during the spring semester. Oh joy. Well, at least I'm making money. It doesn't matter if I'm practically the only employee left at our branch. I'll just have to take on more than twice the work than usual. Oh jeeze. Well, at least I requested Mondays off. I can't miss my weekly dose of Stargate SG-1 reruns. Yes, I am a geek. My sympathies go out to Venette, who's mother passed just this past weekend. Be strong. I'm not directing this toward anyone in particular (yes I am), but I really don't like hearing the intricate details of anyone's lovelife day-in and day-out. You can tell me you have a crush, but you don't have to tell me everyday. You can tell me you're going through a messy breakup, but I really don't need to know every word you said to one another and how you're going to retaliate. I believe one's private affairs should remain (dig this) private, to an extent. I've fallen for at least 3 specific girls in the past few months, but it's not like I bother telling everybody who they are, how I know them, whenever I pass by them, whenever I don't pass by them, and why they don't work out. There are just some things I know some people don't want to hear. But I'm not directing this toward anyone. Well, the TV series Angel saw its series finale. I had a strong feeling the ending would be open-ended, with little closure. I'm perfectly fine with that, mind you. Angel has never been a series full of happy endings... or any kind of happiness, for that matter. The characters were so depressed on that show. It's sad that I don't know many people who watched that show, because it was so good. Well, this series about a vampire who hunts other vampires has been cancelled to make room for a new show on the WB... about a vampire who hunts other vampies. Kinda stupid, isn't it? To tell the truth, it'd be like if they had cancelled Charmed the day they acquired Sabrina. Being the geek that I'm is (I wrote that on purpose), I picked up a new graphic novel at Borders the other day. It's called The Runaways, by Marvel. It's about a group of teenagers who lived their lives thinking their parents were boring, rich suburbanites who met every year to pool their money together to donate to some random charity. But one day, the kids sneak in on one of these "charity meetings" and discover their parents are part of a secret cult known as The Pride. After witnessing a murder at the hands of their own parents, the teens run away from home and embark on a journey to discover the true pasts of their families. I really like it. It gets a bit campy at times (as all comics do), but it takes a whole new look at superheroes and villains that you normally don't see in Marvel comics. I'm thinking about getting back to my parody writing. For those of you unfamiliar, I used to write parodies of popular movies and TV shows by placing popular anime characters in the main roles. I've scripted such parodies as The Saiytrix (DBZ meets The Matrix); Moon Wars episodes 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 (Sailormoon meets Star Wars); and a few others. I've been planning on making a Kill Bill parody, too. Will I write it? Only time will tell. Much Love
