'Time is on my side, you've got nothing to hide...'

So I went to the doctor today and I don't have TB. The doctor was incredibly nice to us and it was pretty quick, so I could come home early.
Tomorrow I have the appointment with the doctor authorized by the embassy so he can sing off the papers and we can finally send them to out lawyer, so finger's crossed for everything to work out.

As for me, my migraine keeps coming and going, and now my neck is incredible tense as well. I hope I feel better after tomorrow when everything will be almost ready to go. I'm getting more excited about going home and fixing up my new room, and starting to enjoying the new house. I also have some cash left over that I will be very happy to spend when I get back.

I've been watching old episodes of House and Bones, and I'm completely hooked on both, good thing they show them everyday. Hugh Laurie is just brilliant and those eyes of his make me weak on the knees. And well Booth is just brilliant, the characters interactions in that show are just perfect. They're showing the beginning of the third season where they just discovered the whole cannibal case, and Angela and Hodgings are trying to find her husband.

Isa burned her finger and this was the blister she had:


She already popped it by now, and has cried a lot over it, poor kid. It's all red now, which caused her to cry a lot before she fell asleep last night. Thankfully it didn't bother her much today.


I also ran into the trailer for 'Half-blood Prince' today. I guess I should be more excited about it, but yeah, it doesn't look too bad. I guess 6 just wasn't one of my favorite books, or maybe the movies just don't do it for me anymore.


Just Jared has better quality and whatnot here.

Oh and the title of the post, comes from 'Love is a loser's game' by Dizzy Mizz Lizzy.

I read a lot of useless stuff on the net, but I have this 2 articles that I really liked this year and that I re-read today, both of them coming from EW:

The first one is about women in movies, I find this topic very interesting because I've been talking about a lot lately. I mean there are really no good role models for women in movies these days. The strong-woman character has disapeared, or they now come with the requirement of being half-naked. Here's the article:

Whaaaa?!?! Another piece of strangely obtuse pop-cultural analysis, this time from the Hollywood Reporter. Noting the recent announcement that Robert Rodriguez will direct a remake of Barbarella, the article laments the supposed dearth of female-driven action movies. This premise bugs me for a couple reasons. First, what dearth? The article cites several recent action-heroine movies — the Tomb Raider franchise, the Underworld franchise, Catwoman, Aeon Flux, Elektra — but complains that most of them have been flops. (No mention of the successful Resident Evil franchise, starring Milla Jovovich, pictured, or the Kill Bill movies, or Domino, or both halves of Grindhouse.) Yes, there have been flops, but that's true of male-driven action movies as well. Usually, the culprit is bad screen-writing or poor marketing, just as it is for the guys. Think about it: female action movies are now allowed to be just as mediocre and poorly received as male action movies, without execs pulling the plug on the genre. That's a perverse measure of progress toward gender parity, but it's progress just the same.
The other thing that irks me is the assumption that it would be a good thing to have more female shoot-em-ups. Why is that? Is it because the studios can't figure out how to make romantic comedies or adult dramas anymore, so the only way for an actress to gain box office clout is with a grenade launcher? The real problem isn't that there aren't enough female-driven movies with fantasy violence, it's that there aren't enough female-driven movies that reflect the reality of women's day-to-day lives in compellingly told stories.

And I couldn't agree more.

The other article is a little longer than that which you can check out here, this one is about JK Rowling announcing that Dumbledore was gay. I know people have made a big deal out of it, but this article explains exactly why we shouldn't. I enjoyed reading it and that's why it's here.
