summer_skinQuick update on the computer thing-- everything is back to normal-ish! The monitor issue was fixed with a driver, which was cool. I found it okay. Then I had weird sound issues (ie- not being able to disable that annoying-as-fuck computer beep) and realized I didn't HAVE sound. So then I had to go on a journey for my sound driver, which was actually easy because it was on my driver disc but, for some reason, didn't install. And then I think I had to find another sound driver or something. I don't know.
Either way, everything is good now. I have all the drivers I need, I think, and things are going smoothly. Altough my flash is fucking up so I had to uninstall it. I'll try to re-install when I need it again but there was something FUCKED UP with it. It popped up every 15 minutes or so, asking me where the debugger was, or something, and then when I opened a new window it would give me the 'Flash install status bar' and then another window that said installation complete, or something. So I just uninstalled for now. Fuck flash.
ANYWAY. THANK YOU to everyone who replied to my entries and helped me out and offered suggestions and generally listened to me be a spazz about something I probably shouldn't have been doing to begin with. You helped me SO MUCH!
I had my first massage yesterday since May and since before the second accident. You guys, I am A MESS! My back hurt so bad today and she didn't even really get to DO much. I have so many impingments and pinching nerves and knots and WHAT THE FUCK. I've also changed my physiotherapist because the place I was going to since the first accident is dumb. I had an assessment done at a second place, at my own expense, and this place did a much more detailed assessment. Turns out the left side of my body is much less mobile than my right side.
The place I'm at currently? Has been doing the exact same exercises and routine on me since the first accident in April. NO WONDER I'm so fucked up.
Now for the real reason for this post--
I watched the whole thing as it aired (and it would seem I saw all the eps, too, even though I thought I gave up for a while after the 4th or so ep, but apparently not!). Watching it all before the second season was SO a must because I realized I took NOTHING in from watching it as it aired. It's sort of like 24 or Lost. If you wait from week to week to watch you're going to forget things or not be able to pay full attention.
01) Walter's description of what deja vu actually is is how I've ALWAYS thought we live life. That every choice we make or don't make spurs an alternate universe. This one and the ones we didn't take. I believe somewhat in fate but more that it's one of those "choose your own adventure" books, so that what you choose to do leads you on a certain path. But whatever. I just really wanted to mention that, especially since it figured into the rest of the season in a MAJOR way.
02) I understand how everything ties together SO MUCH BETTER now. Like the German (?) guy, Jones, and why he kept appearing. Why William Bell was such a big deal. Olivia's importance into everything, although I'd like more of her home life explained, especially since she has the sister in her life now. Why wasn't her sister picked? Is her sister really her sister?
03) As I was watching all the eps in a row I noticed that although Peter is an important part in the show, he's not a HUGE part of the show. That was one of the main reasons why I watched the show to begin with (it was a choice between my dislike for JJ. Abrams, who ruins everything he touches, and my love for Joshua Jackson) but looking back on it now he got more into things as the season went on.
But beyond that, he's kind of a shitty ass son. It bugged me as the eps went on how he would constantly put Walter down. I mean, I GET it, I do. But I need to see more of what happened in their lives together. I need more justification than just knowing that it's there. But then in one of the last eps of the season Peter went and built a machine to transfer some of Walter's unplayable (I think they were, anyway) records into a format he could listen to. AND he was so sweet at the end of the ep when Walter was crying in the diner after Olivia confronted him. It just pains me to see Peter brush Walter off so much. Although, when it matters, Walter puts him in his place.
04) Continuing on with Peter and Walter--THIS PETER IS THE PETER FROM DEJA VU!UNIVERSE, NO?!?!??!!? I knew when I watched the final scene the first time around that seeing Peter's name on the tombstone was OMGFUCKINGEPIC but I never thought of the reasoning behind it. They can't have Peter NOT be Walter's son, not after all this, so the only explanation (well, the one that would make my head explode anyway, and I'd be way more pschyed for rather than Peter's death being faked or some shit) is that Walter brought another Peter through the universe vortex, or whatever, and that's why Peter can't remember when he was so sick as a kid. I mean, Walter said he didn't use that machine that got Jones out of prison but if Peter was sick enough that he died, what's to say Walter didn't use it? But that doesn't make sense now that I think about it, because Bell obviously has a way to get back and forth between the universes so they probably just used that.
I think that was everything. I can't wait for Olivia to figure out what happened with her when she was a kid. I want to know which of her parents decided to allow her into those trials. Her parents or dad was in the military, I think? I'm still foggy on some of the details but whatever.
I'd like to see Astrid get a little more to do, as well, although I'm happy with what she's doing now. I think she brings a nice balance to her scenes, with wit and snark and I like the way she plays off everyone, especially Walter.
John Noble? Will you be my bff? You're awesome.
I'm still working on the Katie moodtheme and I've been making new wallpapers for this monitor since it's so huge so I might be sharing those soon. They're not GOOD, not really, but they get the job done. I've been tinkering with different things on them so that was fun. I need to post those icons I said I was going to last week, as well. Soon. Soon.
