My face is on fire, and it isn't sunburn

So what have i been up to lately. Eh... Well not much. I'm at home puppy sitting while my parental units are on holiday in spain. This means as well as looking after the bouncing puppies i also have to look after the cat of a thousand meows that is our very Royal cat Daisy(cat). Who wakes me at 4 am to steal the neighbor’s cat food and still expects me to feed her.

I could be doing several things. For one i'd love to be writing my story, however i left my latest copy on the college computers. In all the procrastination i did during exam's i just left it there. Which was annoying to say the least.

I also could have been writing my blog. I expected to write a blog about the puppies and to take photo's of their days. But alas their 8 or 9 am feeding on top of the cat just pissed me off so much that i spend as little time as my boredom can afford me with them. Yes they are great but fetch is only so exciting for so long when you're not a dog.

I have also been blasting through a few of my computer games to pass the time, including half life 2 which i have finally gotten around to after all this time. I bought a copy years ago but it was second hand, and hence useless. This perturbed me but recently i found a "hacked" version and have been playing it a lot because i know the original’s off by heart. Okay so i'm cheating, as i usually do but i got scared as i do with half life, then i got over that and got bored, then i reached a point i really couldn't figure my way out of. Which was really annoying. I got passed the supper fast roof-top bouncing zombie's to get eventually to a point that i could get past. Where if i wasn't cheating i would die every few seconds, and i couldn't get out of it. Which just started to really piss me off.

I also shot through Medal of Honour: Allied Assault. Which i never owned back in the day but i borrowed it from Gammaman many a time and i have to say i still love it. Although for the first time i'm playing it without cheats, and i got stuck on a level i didn't remember as well. The second i started it i felt WTF? And the second i was faced with 2 pillboxes and about 10 nazi's while trying to protect a downed pilot. I was bored so did go over it again but if i've done it before i can give it a bash again, even without the cheats...

Why Vampire's rule:

Because they're sexy.

It's pretty simple they are all about sex. And the neck is an erogenous zone, especially on female's but it also exists on male's but that's usually less explored.

Now from Christopher Lee's Dracula to Tom Cruise's Lestat, they're all about sex. In the latter’s case it was surprisingly and subtly about homosexual sex, which is brilliant for movie fan's considering he was obsessed with Brad Pitt. Which give's a new perspective to that 90's classic but it's true.

Now of course vampire's are far more popular in the past year because of Twilight. Now Twilight is good, i love the movie. I love the lust between the two characters. But i hear very bad things about the quality of the writing in the books, which i have yet to get around to. In fact i have to admit is not only do i love the romance and lust between both character's but both a really hot, so that helps.

I have also Discovered the show True Blood, based off of the Sookie Stackhouse saga of vampire stories set in the deep south of america "3 years after vampires come out of the coffin". Now the show isn't perfect. It has a massive lack of continuity, it shouldn't be set with each episode representing a following day or so because there is a lot of inconsistence’s. But the best part of it is the the romance between the Virginal and psychic Sookie Stackhouse and the civil war veteran vampire Bill. The heat of the deep south, the drole of their accents, it's all brilliant. You can almost taste the lust between them. You can feel the heat, less of an emphasis is placed on the vampire being "out of control" and the idea of being bitten is played up more as an exciting taboo. So is the vampire blood itself which is a drug in this world. And a potent one to. It's not a perfect show but i love it. And i just have to mention how hot it is the way they say the main characters name, Sookie Stackhouse. In a southern accent it is just so cool. And she's hot, played by the actress who was the little girl in fly away home and Rouge in the X-Men trilogy. And Bill is played by the brit who was in Ny-Lon, so that's cool to, his accent is flawless as well.

After that i just want to read both the Twilight Saga and the Sookie Stackhouse books. I'm already sure i'll prefare the more adult nature of the Sookie. It's more "sanguine" more visceral. And frankly something you would, ahem, prefere to "sink your teeth into."

The state of nursing in television:

Frankly it doesn't exist. Sure there is nurse's in most hospital shows, and sure there's a few strong characters but there's few if any nursing centric shows. Okay so there was Channel 4's All Saints but that's very NHS and Laddette and frankly just as unrealistic as the under used nurse's on Doctor shows. But thankfully there is good news a foot. With ER gone Hollywood decided to let two Nursing shows pilots to be green lit. "Nurse Jackie" with the woman who was the wife in the sopranos. This one being about a slightly cookie one with the main character having a rather anarchic life and problems and so on. Seemingly you have to be fucked up to matter in hollywood these days. So she juggle's the problems and her job, the usual. The second is "HawthoRNe", see what they did there, RN, Registered nurse, yep a pun. This one star's Mrs Pinkett-Smith,Will Smith's wife. It's a similar idea but the blurb contained the idea of her looking after her staff as well so quite possibly she is a Nurse manager as the american's put it, CNM as i know it and Matron in the carry on films. So it may be different.

2 instance's that annoyed me in tv were the following. The Nurse's strike in Grey's Anatomy which pissed me off to no end. And the idea of a Male Nurse's show in that failed sit-com Joey. Joey turned it down thinking it was ridicules but then it became a hit and he kicked himself over it. It was only a joke but the idea was a good one but it was just thrown away. The strike was bad because it seemed to over emphasise stereotypes of nurse's world wide. The worst instance being Mer (the anoying voice over of a great show) save's a patient in some kind of emergency and a supposed temp nurse who's a student nurse ends up helping her. This temp/student turns out to be a complete bimbo who know's less thant the average tv viewer and was just plain insulting and used for comic affect to make doctor's look cool and smart. Annoying to say the least.

Eh what else. Oh yeh the title. I used some moisturiser and for some reason it dry's up my skin and it itches’ like hell. It started as piz buin sun tan lotion. Then i tried nivea for men to alleviate it, but for some reason it hasn't worked. My face is now constantly either burning a bit or itching like mad.

Oh and i pretty bored an lonely that sucks too.
