Catching Ducks

Boo! Veronica Mars has been cancelled. What is the CW thinking? I know it didn't get the best ratings, but it was their only show with any sort of critical praise. Grrr.....

Yay! Apolo won Dancing with the Stars!

Boo! My computer is freaking out again. I'm having the same problem I had a month ago, where I can't drag-and-drop. I have officially decided I need a new computer. Unfortunately, I can't afford one. My best bet is Santa Claus....

This week's quote is from my favorite (and, I think, the best) episode of Firefly, "Out of Gas". It's from a flashback where Mal is showing Zoe Serenity for the first time:

Malcolm: Well?
Zoe: You paid money for this, sir? On purpose?
Malcolm: What? Come on, seriously Zoe, what do you think?
Zoe: Honestly, sir, I think you got robbed.
Malcolm: Robbed? What? What do you mean?
Zoe: It's a piece of fey-ou.
Malcolm: Fey-ou? Okay, she won't be winning any beauty contests any time soon, but she is solid. A ship like this will be with you 'till the day you die.
Zoe: Because it's a death trap.
Malcolm: That's not [what I meant]. You are very much lacking in imagination.
Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.
Malcolm: Come on, you haven't even seen most of it. Let me show you the rest. And try to see past what she is, and onto what she can be.
Zoe: What's that, sir?
Malcolm: Freedom, is what.
Zoe: I meant: [gestures towards the floor] What's that?
Malcolm: Oh. Yeah. Step around that. I think something must have been living in here. I tell you Zoe, we get a mechanic, get her up and running again, hire a good pilot, maybe a cook... [we] could live like real people. Small crew: them's that feel the need to be free, take jobs as they come.... Ain't never have to be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.
Zoe: Get her running again?
Malcolm: Yeah.
Zoe: So, not running now?
Malcolm: Not so much. But she will. I already know what I'm going to call her. [I've] got a name all picked out...

This week is the finale! I think one of the reasons I'm so obsessed with this show (other than the awesomeness of Apolo) is that I wouldn't mind if any of the three final teams won. Apolo & Julianne are my favorites, of course -- I voted fifteen times! -- but I think Laila & Maks and Joey & Kym are also good. It's fun to watch a reality show and know that I won't be horribly disappointed with the outcome. Don't get me wrong, I really want Apolo & Julianne to win, and I absolutely think they deserve to. But the other two teams are good, too.

Pedicularis: You thought that MacJanitor is what crashed my computer. All the research I saw says that MacJanitor is a fine program. My theory was that the security update I had just done was what crashed my computer. I found references to other people with my OS who had the exact same problem after doing a security update.

In sum: I was right, you were wrong, neener neener neener.

Oh, and thanks for all your help! :)

Yay me!

But I'm getting a little tired of this. Hopefully my computer will behave itself from now on.

My computer may be dead (again), but that's not going to stop me from posting my quote of the week! I've trudged all the way to the public library for this, so y'all better appreciated it. ;)

From Veronica Mars:

[Wallace shows Veronica a fake ID that she has been accused of making.]

Veronica: The ink is bleeding at the edges, the holograph is missing, and the photo... is that your yearbook picture, Wallace?
Wallace: So what?
Veronica: So, this is a $250 piece of crap. Now I'm not just falsely accused, I'm genuinely offended.

I'm currently obsessed with Dancing with the Stars (specifically, Apolo Anton Ohno on DWtS). This quote is from Kim's TWoP recap:

"Anyway, when we return, Tom introduces George Lopez and pimps his show (that's still on?), and then my local affliliate cuts in to tell me there are thunderstorms in the area. Really? Because I couldn't tell by the rain, thunder, and lightening going on outside. Thanks for that, guys."

When I left for work yesterday morning, I was surprised at how warm it was already. When I left work, it was even warmer. Sunny, too.

Blech.

When I left for work this morning, it was warm again. I figured that summertime had officially arrived.

Boo! Hisss!

But when I left work tonight, it was cloudy and cool.

Yay!

I just can't help myself: more Red vs. Blue!


[Caboose "explains" what the Red Team is doing.]

Church: How do you know all this, Caboose?

Caboose: Andy told me.

Church: Who's Andy? [to Tucker] Are you Andy?

Tucker: I'm not Andy, I'm Tucker.

Church: I know. What's your first name?

Tucker: Lavernius.

Church: Lavernius. Well, then who's this Andy -- wait a second. [to Tucker] Are you black?

Tucker: Me?

Church: Yeah.

Tucker: Does it matter?

Church: No. I'm just curious.

Tucker: Well, if it doesn't matter, then why are you curious?

Church: I don't know. I guess that's just something I should have picked up on after all this time.

Tucker: You know what else you should have picked up on? My fucking first name!
