Heroes.....
Save the cheerleader save the world. That's the logo "heroes" has been going with for god knows how long. This episode the telepathic cop teams up with radioactive man. They also explained Claires father more and I was pretty surprised to find out he is actually a good guy. Made me sad when he died though. It is so cool that these people all know each other but they don't they are starting too however. Like when the telepathic cop and radioactive man take Claires family hostage her and telepathic cop are talking and Claire mentions Peter Petrelli. Peter saved Claires life and he was also arrested by the telepathic cop. All of these stories are intermengaling and through all this Peter can now not only absorb powers, but use them once they're absorbed. i love training episodes! But Peter screwed it up by leading Claire's dad right to his trainer. the invisible man. The invisible man also worked with Claire's dad at what is now called "the agency". Man I cannot wait for it all to unfold! I personally think Hiro's going to get the sword that let's Peter control his powers thereby allowing him to control it when he absorbs radioactive mans powers. I hope Claire and her biological dad get together thatd be heartwarming. Jessica needs to kick nikki's ass! im so sick of her playing the bad girl i want her to be good *tear*. If I had to choose a power I'd wanna be kids power. I'd love to get twelve hundred bucks from ATM without taking it out of my bank account.

Reading Analysis
This week's reading I thought was extremely poinent and oddly surreal, especially in regards to twentysomethings. I'm turning twenty tommorow, so I guess I'll be a twentysomething. It made me angry when I realized that the shows portraying our age group were under the genre of "reality t.v.". It made me sick to see that the things these depravities of human nature were the advertisements of the years from twenty to twenty nine. Black Bart was interesting. Just the whole idea of taking icons and making them your own. I don't know if they were making fun of Bart and what he stood for or if somehow the people of america that were wearing these shirt were embracing him. Suffice it to say that the event was still a great experiment in human and racial sociology.

BLAH
Man I had an epic sleep tonight. I mean EPIC. In the words of Tyler Durden "Babies don't sleep this good". Unfortunately now I have to do my rewrite, study for my computer science exam and start working on my NEXT essay. Awesome.
Scrubs
Man do I love Scrubs. The episode I was actually able to catch this weeek was the one where 5 people were dying and needed new organs. Just when all hope seeemed lost a person died from what was believed to be a cocain overdose. Unfortunetaly that person was someone J.D. knew and while a part of him knew it was not his fault she died, just that day he ignored her. Dr. Cox calmed J.D.'s nerves by basically saying it was not his fault. However the new patients' organs were infected with rabies. Only two cases are reported a year and J.D. tried to explain this to a very remose Dr. Cox, but just when Dr. Cox was about to feel better the last patient of his died. This sent him off the deepend and he left the hospital. I loved this episode and this show for the same reasons. They don't just give a one dimnesion comedy sketch, instead they try and teach a lesson in every episode which i think is rare but very welcome. I would definately recommend this to anyone who has the time to watch it.

Reading Analysis
Ah reality tv how I loathe it so. As much as I may hate the subject of reality tv and the irony of the title I did agree with many of the points brought up by the authors. Specifically " Voting Democracy Off The Island " I never paid attention to the underlying conservative themes reality shows portray. Such themes as family, marriage, and love. This all at first seems silly when one looks at the "Fear Factors" and "Average Joe" show's that pit people against each other in the hopes of love and fortune. I must say everytime I watch an ad for another reality tv show I can't help but think of the world that the movie "Idiocracy" portrays and how that world is more and more becoming our future. I weep for the future.

My Adobiography
Well after about 9 drafts and over 12 hours of writing I finally got my paper done last night. My into and conlcusion could've used more developement BUT I got my thesis statement in and I added a decent punchline. Right now I'm hoping for a B but we shall see. I gotta say even though english ISN'T my best subject, I'm starting to like the course. It's a breath of fresh air to get a teacher who actually cares about what she's doing and isn't a burned out zombie like every teacher at this school. I wish the other people would add more to the discussion part though. I mean I would venture my opinion, and I do on many occasions but sometimes it seems like it's just me and one other person carrying the discussion. Dah well at least I get the weekend off now!

Heroes
So yea heroes=awesome, like officially. This week the heroes are starting to mingle together more and more. But not only that but Claire has a super mom! Oh yea Claire's mom is a pyro but she also has a super dad. I think it's her step-dad because you just know there's somethin up with him. On Hiro's side f the story he got to see HIS dad, and guess who it is? George f-in Tekaa, that's right this show has officially become what we like to call "geek material". I just can't wait to see what's going to happen next. My personal favorite part is when Hiro and the flying Petrelli are talking and Hiro goes " you flying man, whoooooosssshhhhhhhhhh" to which Petrelli replies "hey can you keep it down?" Hiro then says "whosshhhhhhhhh". oh it was awesome. I got a date tonight which I'm happy about, but it's gonna be weird because now the women i loved doesnt love me anymore i guess.....dah well ill have fun

Writing Analysis
Since what has cool become a thing of life and death? I can honestly say I did not know there were "coolhunters" out there. I suppose this is just a part of company research. No more than scientists finding new ways to test atoms. They go and find what the "innovators" are doing and then bring that to the masses.It's really quite fascinating how the fashion industry works. The process may seem pointless and strange to some but once you see how it works, it's a whole different story. At first I was taken a back by the term "coolhunters". To think they're are people that make ends meet by studying whats "cool". But once I saw they're fascination with it I found myself also being fascinated by not only their profession but what the term "cool" meant. In school what's cool is your life, your friends obsess over it and in turn you do to. I must say I would like to chat with a coolhunter one day.
