Seven Hours of TV
So, I woke up at 11:30 after some very, very bizarre dreams expecting that the AC repair guy would be coming along so that the house would not be so ridiculously hot. I made myself some food, watched some TV, and made myself comfortable while waiting. I ended up watching the tail end of the DS9 episode where Vash comes to DS9 along with Q and nearly destroys the station because she's toting around a prophet crystal thingy. I consumed my lunch, and continued to watch another episode involving Jadzia Dax being charged for crimes that Kurzon Dax committed, and her unwillingness to help her own defence because of a vow that Kurzon Dax made to the woman he had an affair with.
At this point it was about 1, and the guy hadn't shown up. A call or two later assured me that the guy was to be here soon, so to sit tight and wait it out. I watched some more Star Trek, this time The Next Generation, and I think the first episode was the episode where they discover two neighboring civilizations that have reached an interesting relationship; one produced a "medicine" for the other planet, and the other planet produced lots and lots of crap to pay for the "medicine" the first planet produced. The only real thing I remember about the episode was that the lady alien was fairly pleasing to the eye, but she hadn't done much in the way of significant work on the TV, so I wasn't able to find much in the way of pictures or information about her. Ultimately, I think I really only thought her outfit was cute.
The next episode of TNG was the one where Tasha Yar dies.
Long story short, it was long, and kinda uninteresting.
The episode after that was the one where they find the area of space they are currently in is having some time hiccups. This episode was kinda nifty, and once again the main point of interest for me was that the scientist's wife was not bad looking. I can't actually find any pictures of her, even though she's done a fair amount of work in mass media since her appearance on TNG. Like above, I think my fascination with her was primarily because of the clothing. Anyhoo, moving on.
I called the place again, since it was about 4 and the AC repairguy had yet to show up. The lady told me the guy had to go to the emergency room to get stitches last night, and so was slow on all his stuff today since it was his assistant doing most of the manual work. I also learned the guy's name, Juan. After talking to her, I wondered why she couldn't have told me so earlier in the day so I wasn't sitting at home rotting my brain. :sigh:
At this point, the Star Trek was over, which saddened me. I moved on to Conan O'Brian, which was a not too funny "episode" as it were. Then I watched The Simpsons episode where Homer goes to the chili-cook-off and eats some peppers and has a vision quest where he is told to find his soulmate and such. There was then some That 70's Show in which Hyde moves into the house and Red tries to hook Foreman up with a cute cashier at work who actually has a crush on Red. Then I watched Malcolm in the Middle which was the episode where Malcolm's friend grows boobs and Reese tries to hit on her, and Francis' roomies steal a totem pole, and Hal tries to learn to fly a kite.
About halfway through MitM, the repair guys finally showed up. I talked to them for a bit, and then let them do their thing. I ended up finishing the episode and moving on to another episode of hat 70's Show again, but this time it was about the girls making Rhonda look cute for Fez, and something about an old army buddy of Red's and swing parties and summat. Around then the 'rents were home, and Diana had come over, and it was about time to head out.
So, after doing all of that nothing, I ended up going to Sac and visiting my mom's friend's Hawaiian BBQ restaraunt called "L&L Hawaiian BBQ". Turns out Hawaiian BBQ is just Korean food, Japanese food, and American food all on a single menu. Not surprisingly, a lot of it was deep fried, and I felt pretty sick after eating just a portion of the meal. Blah blah blah, went home, went to Dennis', hung out, went home.
If anyone actually read all of that, I'm pretty impressed, I was boring myself just writing it. Point is, I spent most of today doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, except maybe after I left the house, but that was still debatedly boring. I do believe I will have to become much more productive in future days.
In truth I've been feeling particularly lazy due to the heat as of late, and so I've been doing jack shit besides going to classes and lazing around. I've got projects I need to start on, and I keep telling myself I'll start them soon, but no work has actually been done yet. Anyhow, here's to doing something more productive with my time in the near future. I swear that reminds me of a song lyric from 2pac or Outkast that goes something like, "Do something more constructive/productive with my time than bitch/beg" or some crap. I can't seem to find the exact lyric online, and now it's bothering the hell out of me.
And as an ending note, I still think I liked DS9 more than I liked TNG. DS9 was so much less cut and clean in terms of good and evil as compared to TNG. Then again, I might have to watch both series again if I really wanted to make a truly informed decision. I think I can hope that it will not be the case that I make such a decision in the near future.
