It occurs to me that making the nerdy lab guy into a villain-y person is become trendy. Huh.

First Bones did it (goddammit I miss Zach! Bring him back!!), and now L&O:SVU. Granted, the latter didn't really bother me. It made pretty decent television - plus I never liked the character. But, really? Why are the lab guys always psycho?

What the...?

I just watched the latest Bones, and they made it a cliffhanger! Noooooooooo. I can't wait until this Thursday! ><;

I hate sick. Sick is yucky and painful and blech.
Almost done, almost done. I just don't want to feel like crap for thesis presentations on Wednesday.
Soooooo annoying.
Plus, I don't have anything with menthol, which means that my throat hurts no matter what I do. And, I'm going through tissues like there's no tomorrow. Grrrr.

Random stuff.

I've got an online friend with whom I'm very close. Unfortunately, school makes it extremely difficult for me to keep in contact with him. This happened with another friend of mine, and we barely ever talk. It sucks. That's one more good thing about graduating and not being swamped with homework.

Anyway, I'm a little bit in love with this friend of mine, and have been for months. I absolutely hate the internet for this reason. He's across the country, in addition to being two and a half years younger than I, and we both have our own lives. But, that's not entirely the point. The point is, he lets people walk all over him, and it annoys the hell out of me.

Recently, he's had several bad relationships. Something goes wrong, and things fall apart. With this new girl, however, he keeps going back to her - despite the fact that they've broken up at least three times now, and she says things to him such as:
"Our relationship failed, like all of your other relationships, because you won't grow up and take things seriously." (Note that this is paraphrased, but I got it straight from the horse's mouth/computer via comments on a journal.)

I just don't understand it. She treats him terribly, from what I can tell and have heard, and yet he still goes back to her. Not only that, but it's limiting the conversations we do manage to have, because she's too worried about him maybe flirting with someone else. Sure, I can understand asking him to not flirt with other people, but getting him to stop talking to them? I don't like it.

Plus, I hate being jealous. That's never fun, either.

Oh god. There's so much. So fucking much. And this is just the big stuff. This doesn't count the standard homework that I've still got to do.

So I've finally gotten to the part of Bones that includes the character "Roxy." I am so freaking pissed off. This is exactly what pissed me off regarding Willow and Tara - two people break up for no real reason, other than the producers want some random, forced lesbian action.
Why can't they ever have main characters start off in a lesbian relationship? At least they admit that Angela's bisexual, as opposed to BtVS saying that Willow "turned" gay.

It just annoys the hell out of me. And Angela and Hodgins were so good for each other; just at the end of the last season, he learned what she needed from him. It was her stupidity and impulsiveness that ruined their relationship; you'd think she'd remember that she was still married - especially because the FBI internal interviewer brought it up. Seriously? It's stupid.

And I miss Zack. That was a poor, poor decision (yet a decent plot twist). I'm hopeful that he'll be back, since his hands are (when he shows up in s4) up to 60%, which suggests that he's healing well, and he admitted to not really being a killer, and Sweets also explained that Zack can't get out of the institution until he "admits his delusion" - suggesting that, if he 'surpasses his delusions' he will be released. So, perhaps the producers will decide to write him back in permanently. They've left it as a possibility.

In any case, I'm just so sick and tired of the "let's ruin a perfectly good relationship for no reason at all so that we can open up to a wider audience and/or show off some hot chicks kissing." If they wanted the lesbian relationship for the sake of a lesbian character, then they would have had that happen initially. No, they did what shows always do: bring in the male-fantasy when they want to spice things up.
