This is a picture of Hee Seop that I took in the summer of 2003 before he decided to come indoors and stay. 
He had just finished eating the can of food I fed him every afternoon around 4:30.
that is, an extraterrestrial biological entity…man.
once upon a time, i only watched channel 5. that’s NBC to any folks outside Chicago. these were the programs i watched (that are still running):
then last year, i started watching Without a Trace and didn’t watch one episode of ER, not even during reruns. this year, nearly all my shows are on channel 7. that’s ABC to any folks outside Chicago:
actually, none of my shows this year are on channel 5. they’re on channel 7 and channel 2 (CSI, Without a Trace). that’s CBS to any folks outside of Chicago. last year, my new favorite show was Boston Legal. this year, it’s invasion.
Homestead, Florida, is the setting for invasion, which might be under the guise of a hurricane. like, maybe it wasn’t really a hurricane, but the actual invasion itself; it just looked a lot like a hurricane.
the main characters are all related but not. kind of like my family.
(my parents are divorced, but since my dad’s younger brother is married to one of my mom’s younger sisters, we’re all still part of the same extended family, and everyone but me, my sister, my brother, and my mom live in Las Vegas–kind of like in CSI). there’s who Brian and i refer to as the 2 Kids, Jesse and Rose (who’s absolutely adorable), who live with their mom Marial (the Doctor, or the Mom) and her new husband Tom (the Sheriff) who i just realized looks like Barry Manilow, and his daughter Kira (the Stepsister). the 2 Kids spend half the time at their dad (the Park Ranger, or the Dad) Russell’s house, with his new, pregnant wife Larkin (the New Wife), and her out-of-work, beer-loving brother Dave (Dave).
Dave, of course, is the only one who’s convinced that aliens invaded the planet during the hurricane because a lot of weird, creepy stuff happened. everyone else knows something weird’s going on, but he’s the only one who believes that the Air Force is up to something and is trying to cover it up. hey, wait a minute. my brother was in the Air Force. maybe i’ll ask him.
Russell’s trying to help Dave get to the bottom of it, but he isn’t ready to believe that it’s aliens, yet. personally, i think Russell needs to take his shirt off more often, like he did this past Wednesday, in episode 2. besides, Russell seems to have to prove he’s just as manly as Tom by being able to “protect his family,” as he put it to Dave, which at this point, the Sheriff seems to be able to do better. i mean, come on. who do you think would win in Park Ranger vs. Sheriff? of course a sheriff beats out a park ranger. they don’t even get to carry weapons. well, maybe a Maglite.
seriously, though, what i find especially weird about this show is that it’s written and produced by Shaun Cassidy. this is the same Shaun “Da Doo Ron Ron Ron” Cassidy who i absolutely loved in 3rd grade. too bad my Shaun Cassidy t-shirt’s long gone. not that it would fit me, but it’s still weird. i totally forgot he even existed.
anyway, check out Dave’s blog, Dave’s Diatribe, to learn more about what’s going down in Florida.
List/Option No. Four – Project 37 – Other Submissions
This month is going to deal with astrology. Whether you believe in it or not will be irrelevant as this is more about personalities than lions, scorpions and bulls. eHow.com has a collection of "How to Spot a <Insert Astrological Sign Here>" articles. Each article points out the most common characteristics of each sign. Your first objective is to gather the characteristics of your sign in a list and explain, in little or full detail, whether or not it applies to you and why it does or doesn’t; also mention if you’re proud of the characteristic or perhaps ashamed or embarassed. The second objective is to read through the other signs and find out if you think there is one that is more suiting to your personality. Do the same list as you did with your actual sign. The third and fourth lists are completely optional–the third list involves going through every single sign and making the same lists you did with the first two (which characteristics apply to you and which do not); the fourth involves making a personalized "How to Spot a <Insert Astrological Sign Here>" article using characteristics from the other signs. You should not make up your own characteristics–they should all come from the articles.
well, sort of. it basically happened on its own when the closet rod fell. most of the stuff doesn’t fit me anymore, so Brian (yes, Brian, not me, so really, he cleaned my closet) boxed it all up. he re-attached (yes, Brian, not the landlord) the closet rod, and there’s hardly anything hanging from it now.
i suppose it was worth it, but i’m not sure which part: the closet rod falling, Brian boxing up my clothes, or gaining the weight that made it so i’d have to get rid of those clothes in the first place.
