What character on Degrassi are you (1986-1991)
brought to you by Quizilla


Stolen from kocie. Yeah, I watched a ton of Degrassi Junior High. I think I spent a lot of time looking for that kind of drama in real life. Not so much to be a part of it, but just to witness it. Me and my voyeuristic tendencies.

Getting up for work this morning was especially difficult, as the rain was falling down pretty hard. I'm not sure if this a typical thing for everyone, or just me.

Rainy, gray mornings = sleeping in even longer (now I need to find Like the Weather by 10,000 Maniacs somewhere)

Bleh

During lunch break, a constant beeping could be heard in the break room. It took the full thirty minutes to realize that the beeping was remarkably similar to the motion detectors from Aliens.

One of my nightmares while I used to work overnight at the hospital was zombie invasion. No, really. The hallways were so desolate and too creepy quiet. It was a habit to get up from time to time and check in on my lab department co-workers. You know, to ensure that they hadn't been zombie-fied.

It's probably a good thing those overnight shift days are long gone, though now I am on the lookout for hostile xenomorphs with acid for blood.

Last night, IFC had Ripley's Game on (you like that segue, don't you? Ellen Ripley, Tom Ripley, ha ha). I'd read about this Ripley movie a long while back, and then nothing. No hype about it, no coverage about it anywhere. Like Keyser Soze, it just up and disappeared. Now, Anthony Minghella was not involved in Ripley's Game at all, so if you go off looking for it, don't go into it expecting The Talented Mr. Ripley, this movie is nothing like that one. Not at all. While Ripley's Game was watchable, I can see why it disappeared. It was just hollow, didn't ring right. Something, I just can't express it properly. It's a shame too, because both John Malkovich, and Dougray Scott are pretty good.

Last bleh for now. R.E.M. will be on Friday's episode of Boston Public. Yes, Boston Public. Now, I love R.E.M., but I don't know how I feel about them on television, when it's not something like David Letterman or SNL.
