old/shit, new/shit

a new Stargate Atlantis is ready for the watching, but i decided to save it for tonight, the end of the weekend, something i really need a pick-me-up for. nip/tuck, by the way, is getting steadily darker and more disturbing. who've thunk that, considering the issues explored in the first two seasons. heck, in the first season alone there was enough cause for our dear old friend the MDA to cut out entire chunks of the episodes broadcast here.

also, which is it? Nip/Tuck, nip/tuck, or NIP / TUCK?

the first is how it's commonly referred to in print and other publications, the second is how i prefer it and how FX Networks refers to it, including in promotional material and the website, and the third is how it's laid out in the opening sequence of the show itself. does any one know?

in seven and a half hours, first uncle will be here for the weekly lunch. my mom expects me to be over at her place in the afternoon, but my caretaker/aunt's gone back to malaysia for the weekend, and will only be back around nine PM. my first aunt, however, has to go back to the office and so will only be here at five PM. i don't really want to have to head out, or have to think so much about going, or before i can go out.

and, then, there's the week ahead. confusion, listlessness, a sense of non-belonging, a lack of purpose and drive. when's the next birthday? what's the next movie? who's buying a tablet? who's looking at powerbooks? is your home network broken? did windows finally give up the ghost on you? recently upgraded from an O2 xda mini to an O2 xda atom, and need help moving stuff over? should i still go over? should i still go to school? what are you coming for? what are you doing here?

these are the things i have to look forward to. or else i lose everything, including all keeping all my shit together.

"You only live twice...
Or so it seems--one life for yourself, and one for your dreams...

You drift through the years...
And life seems tame...
'Till one dream appears, and love is its name...

And love is a stranger...
Who'll beckon you on...
Don't think of the danger, for the stranger is gone...

This dream is for you...
So pay the price...
Make one dream come true, you only live twice..."

- "You Only Live Twice"
