For some reason, I really do not feel good today. I'm just really tired. Maybe it's because I haven't gone to sleep until about 2AM for about a week. Of course the hypochondriac in me swears it's a disease or something. I'm really hoping it's just the lack of sleep.
Luckily today I discovered what I think are the actual special features of The Wire's Fourth Season DVD to be released on December 4th....
An exclusive two-part documentary – “It’s All Connected: The Wire,” featuring candid interviews with cast and crew discussing life in the city of Baltimore as depicted on the series, and “The Game is Real: The Wire,” a retrospective on the issues explored in past seasons
Six audio commentaries with cast and crew:
– Episode 1: David Simon (Creator/Executive Producer) and Ed Burns (Producer)
- Episode 4: Actor Jim True-Frost (Prez), Karen Thorson (Producer) and Kate Sanford (Editor)
– Episode 6: Dan Attias (Director) and William F. Zorzi (Writer)
– Episode 11: Actors Robert Chew (Proposition Joe), Julito McCullum (Namond Brice), Jermaine Crawford (Dukie Weems), Maestro Harrell (Randy Wagstaff) and Tristan Wilds (Michael Lee)
– Episode 12: Joe Chappelle (Co-executive Producer) and George Pelecanos (Writer)
– Episode 13: David Simon (Creator/Executive Producer) and Nina Noble (Executive Producer)
.... For my own reasons, I wish they'd have done a commentary on Episode 2.
Also today, I found out my 17 year old cousin thought he'd be really cool and drink and drive last night, so he got arrested. I swear I feel like I'm the only one of my cousins who hasn't been in trouble with the law.
Well, in 15 minutes it's time for the second episode of Pushing Daisies. I really hope it's as good as the first. However, apparently the executive producer has gotten in trouble for constantly going over the budget and some critics have said that the visuals don't look as powerful as the pilot, but that the storyline is still great. Either way, I'd watch Anna Friel, Lee Pace, Chi McBride and Swoosie Kurtz act in anything, so I'm sticking around until it's actually pushing daisies under ABC.

Since I finally figured out how to make icons with GIMP that I've had on my computer for 2 years, I thought about eventually making some for PD and The Wire and anything else. However, I'm still debating over it. Mainly because I'm afraid they'll look like crap and everyone will ridicule them. It's a weird phobia I have.
Oh and whoever at Keebler decided to make Chocolate Drop Sandies cookies needs a HUGE promotion. I think I could eat an entire bag in one sitting.

Wow, has it really been 15 months since I updated this thing? Well that's what's happens when you find MySpace I guess. Not that anyone really reads this over here. Anyway, I think since I upgraded my account to PLUS, I might have to go and see if I can find a new layout. Although, I do like looking at this one.

So last night, I actually felt sleepy around 9PM and decided to shut down the comp and just head to bed. My mother decided right before then to take my grandmother's blood pressure since it had been high for about a week. Apparently, when she took it, it somehow caused this huge blue welt/bruise to appear on my grandmother's arm and suffice to say we all freaked out.
So off to the ER, we go. Nothing is more fun than seeing the show "ER" while in the ER, or seeing old people throw up near you and wonder if you are going to get whatever the poor old soul has. So, we after about an hour, my Nanny as I call her, had her X-Ray. Now after being there for 2 hours and speaking to another doctor, she then says that she's had chest pain all day long. Now, I was with my grandmother all day long and guess what? She never mentioned that her chest hurt. So considering that she has had a heart attack in the past and a light stroke, the doctor felt that she needed to be placed in the Cardiac Care Unit for 6 hours of monitoring. Did I fail to mention, that the time is now 12AM and I have officially not slept a full night of sleep in 2 weeks?
I begged my mother to let me stay home, but no she can't stand to drive in the dark alone. (Like my grandmother being with her was her being alone.:?)So like a fool, I went and this cardiac room was behind the ER and the entire room she was in was smaller than the size of Zacharias Moussaoui's new cell he'll be in until he dies. So three people being in one room gets claustrophibic, especially when there is no way to stretch out your legs and the only place to sit are 2 straight back chairs or the floor.
After 2 hours, I decided to eat some french fries from the break room and then finally gave up and decided to sleep on the floor with nothing to lay on but hard cold floor and a really big gown to cover up with. My mother uses that opportunity to go to the waiting area outside the surgicial waiting room and takes a nap there. We are so not speaking right now, trust me. The kicker is that a nurse came into the cold freezing room and my grandmother requested another blanket. Now, do you think she thought of her poor 25 year old granddaughter on the floor freezing to death. NO! So, I froze until 5AM when I just got up and went to a room that was empty and watched TV because the doctor said I could.
We finally got home at 9:30. So did my grandmother have a heart attack? Thankfully, no. She was diagnosed with a hematoma (bruise) because she bruises really easily because of the blood thinner she's one and an anxiety attack. So I spent 12 hours at the ER freezing my butt of, for a bruise and some bad nerves.
To make a long story short, I slept none last night and as of now have been awake for 33 hours straight. And I have no idea if any of this blog makes since, so if it doesn't, please forgive me. It is probably riddled with comma splices and spelling errors.

So right now, I'm watching the Miss USA pageant. Seriously, this show has gotten substainially worse each time I watch it. I mean there used to be a time when all 51 contestants got to have their names said on the air, but now it's been reduced to showing the contestants pictures instead with Nancy O'Dell doing voiceovers for the names of the states they represent. Plus, I'm being forced to suffer through Mini-Lachey aka Drew Lachey "hosting" the show. This is what my Friday nights have been reduced to?

I frankly have no urge to do anything anymore which is why my away message is up pretty much all the time, I just have no urge to talk to people much anymore. I never really thought it would get this bad, but it has. I'm only writing this here because I can't afford therapy and am afraid I might hurt myself if I don't get this out.
I forgot to mention that I was named Zetonian of the month at FC. It was really an honor and I almost cried. It's about the only sane place I can go to and feel like I belong. tv.com is being a piece of crap by not updating all the CP's and not telling me if I have any new shows to edit. tv.com and FC are pretty much the only reason I get on the computer anymore. That and downloading Degrassi episodes that haven't aired here yet.

11 has become to be a very interesting number. It could be a coincidence, but in any case this is interesting. You decide for yourself:
1) New York City has 11 letters.
2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened the Twin Towers in
1993) has 11 letters.
4) George W. Bush has 11 letters. This could be a mere coincidence... (Could it be?)
Now here's some more:
1) New York is the State .. 11
2) The first plane crashing into the Twin Towers was flight ..11.
3) Flight .. 11 was carrying 92 passengers. Adding this number gives us: 9+2=11.
4) Flight .. 77, the second plane to hit the towers, was carrying 65 passengers. Adding this: 6+5=11.
5) The tragedy was on September 11 or 9/11. Adding this: 9+1+1=11
6) The date is equal to the emergency number 911. Adding this:
9+1+1=11
Now we have a very upsetting piece..
1) The total number of victims inside the planes are 254:
2+5+4=11
2) The day September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year:
2+5+4=11
3) After September 11, there are 111 days more to the end of the year.
4) The tragedy of 3/11/2004 in Madrid also adds to:
3+1+1+2+4=11.
5) The tragedy in Madrid happened 911 days after the tragedy of the Twin Towers.
Spooky!!
Read on.....! This is really eerie This is something to think about!
Since America is typically represented by an Eagle. Saddam and Bin Laden should have read up on their Muslim passages... The following verse is from the Quran, (the Islamic Bible).
Quran (9:11) -- For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.
Note the verse number!

My mother says I need to get over feeling sorry for myself, but I've come to realize that is impossible and I wish she would. I do really need to get out of this funk before something happens to me. I get so upset sometimes I physically and emotionally make myself sick. Sometimes, I won't eat for a whole day or just eat one meal because I just don't have an urge to.
Special thanks to patronus_icons for my Anne Icon. I'll figure out how to do URL's properly soon. :)

So I'm thinking about watching all the episodes of The Wire one per day or so and then writing what I thought about it on my website and my hbothewirefans community LiveJournal or I could post it at http://thewirefansunite.bravehost.com where I have a forum to chat as well. It'll give me something to do since I have nothing to do most days and nights. I don't know if I'll do it or not, I guess I'll see how the sites are coming along and maybe it'll make more people show up. I doubt it. I think I've done all I can do.
I just realized that today would be my cousin Anita's 44th birthday. It certainly doesn't seem like she's been dead for almost 12 years. I was only 13 when she died and just started high school. I still miss her, but I don't talk about it much because I don't feel like bringing it up around everyone since they all miss her as well. She was kinda like my second mom, but I wish I could have been closer to her. Her daughter is my second cousin, Bree and we used to be extremely close as she is just 11 months younger than me. However, we have grown apart, much like the rest of my cousins and friends. I blame me mostly since I don't have an urge to keep up with anyone since I don't have much of a life.

So my best friend Michael Jackson (yes, that's his name henceforth known as MJ), is right now in Israel. He sent me all his info so I wouldn't have to worry about him. Like I'm not going to. He's pretty much the only friend I have left that isn't on The Backstage or FC. He also told me he finally put his house on the market down here, which means he's never coming back, except to visit. I'm going to miss him picking me up and going to his house to watch DVD's or playing Simon (his old comp), or drinking really cheap wine! LOL It was there I watched "Traffic" lose Best Picture to you know who and where I spilled my wine on the carpet when Soderbergh won for Best Director.
Guess I'll go to bed now. I've been working on this computer all day and now Tropical Storm Dennis is coming through. Jessica is coming back tomorrow (my little cousin I babysit), so I have to get ready to play teacher to the almost 3 year old.
More later!
