clo_againSo after a blissful week of shiny internet in my room? The network adapter thing my brother gave me and swore was awesome, is broken. Again. Past the point of no return it seems, since even unplugging it/replugging it in, my failsafe method up until now, didn't work. Not even reinstalling it all, because the 'device won't start'. So back to the laptop it is and my brother's getting angry text messages amounting to "FIX THIS."
How difficult can it be to get the internet to work in my room? Apparently very. Ack, I hate being back on the laptop mouse.
On the plus side, Cloverfield was good. I kept thinking how stupid they all were and how they really didn't deserve to live, until I realised that if monsters invaded and I was the one stuck in the crazy leaning building? I'd be pretty happy if![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dukedee, hill2k and rainy_roz came to rescue me.
They were pretty thick with the rat thing though. Rats are smart. You see a pack of them running somewhere, you damn well better follow them. Everyone knows that; except apparently the people in Cloverfield who have to dither about it for a minute or so.
I almost thought that they showed the monster too much though. They could've dragged out the big reveal a bit longer and ramped up the tension.
It did make me feel kinda bad though, because if monsters attacked Manhattan? I would totally be glued to LJ and youtube and Sky News going "OMFGMONSTERS GIVE ME MORE PICTURES AND INFO AND PICTURES" and yeah, worrying about the people there but in that nebulous sort of way you worry when big disasters happen on the other side of the world and you don't know anyone there. You watch big Hollywood movies where the US army waltzes in and blows up some buildings to defeat the bad guys and you never really think 'but there might've been people stuck in there', you think 'yay! The hero made it!' or 'yay! Building go boom!" It's good how Cloverfield gives you that perspective.
...yeah. That's all I got from my interesting life. Torchwood was pretty good this week*, except I didn't see the BBC3 one that I just read all the spoilers for and now I'm wishing that I'd watched it, because bzuh? Totally cannot see that lasting.
Tomorrow I get to do the four stacks of washing that I didn't make it through today. *gloom* Funsies.
*Okay, except for the cheese. But those glimmers of something that could be a really good show do surface every now and then. Maybe by series ten they'll be Buffy good. Possibly. It could happen.
