My boyfriend's grandmother just died yesterday. It is times like this where it is best to take a step back, breath, and think about the wonderful things, not the depressing fact of never seeing her again. Yet here I am still crying. I can't really help it.


Have a wonderful day everyone.

Serious post people:
Can anyone find a US based fast food restaurant that has soy free food, so I can eat there while traveling?

Two years ago I could eat all fast food in the area except jack in the crack, and taco bell. Today, the last of the fast food companies have crumbled: In 'n Out and Chick-fil-A. Both have either switched to vegetable oil or some form of soy protein.

Technically, I did find a panini (if you could even call it that) at Starbucks. So, I have found something I can eat. The problem is, they are usually gone in the afternoon, so if it is 6pm and I'm on the road, it doesn't help.

First of all: Hi everybody! (hi, dr.ned.)
I haven't checked lj in ages. I hope you guys do not feel like I've been ignoring/avoiding anyone. I've just been centered around twitter these days.


Second: I must be crazy. I type in, 'through the looking glass' and 'tron' into google and I get nothing. Am I really the only one who sees the new Tron movie as a blatant rip off? Disney truly has lost all storytelling originality. (if it had any to begin with) And, don't get me wrong. The movie is awesome with its amazing visuals, a stupendous sound track, and generally good acting. It is just that the whole movie is a fake.. a rip off.. it has no originality, and because of this I knew every little bit of what was going to happen 5 minutes from then (when I was watching the movie), the ending, and I even know the storyline of the next Tron movie. Yes, it is that much of a rip off.

Lets start with the storyline from Alice, and when I say Alice, I mean SyFy's terrible adaptation of the story. Why? Because if you don't believe me you can download the mini-series instead of spending days reading a series of books. link caution! Reading the summary might give a minor spoiler into the middle of the Tron Legacy storyline.

The story goes like this: There is an 'Alice'. This is not the same Alice as Alice in Wonderland, just someone else with the same name. Her father disappeared years ago, this leaves childhood issues, blah blah blah.. as seen in the Tron movie as well. One day she falls through the 'looking glass' (a mirror) and goes into Wonderland. In wonderland, she sees this amazing yet disturbing world that is beyond dangerous. Danger sparks up quickly, Alice is given a classification/name.. I can't remember what it is called (equivalent of a user vs program) and then bumps into the red queen.

Story goes on and Alice bumps into the mad hatter who is running a business of sorts. He tries to stand on the fence by both helping anyone against the queen while snitching on them for a fee from the queen. His character is not only chaotic but motivated by greed exactly like the movie.

Story goes on some more and Alice bumps into a knight. The knight is the last of his kind ... much like the girl that is with his father in the tron movie.

Alice finds her father. Her father is trapped via the queen. Alice rushes in (stupidly) to rescue her father at the expense of the looking glass. The looking glass lets the queen travel between words... again like the tron movie.

The story goes on too, but there is no need for me to spoil anything. It isn't a perfect 1 to 1 match, but the storyline followed so close it urked me. What disney did is imho the same as plagiarizing on an essay in college, but altering the words up enough to get around copyright issues.

So, am I crazy? Am I the only one who noticed this on the whole planet? The comparison should be obvious, yet no one seems to see it.
