Made in LA ie Lots of Little Things Part 2
I reeeeally miss LA. Just saying if it's not obvious. It's been annoyingly humid here and although I prefer it over cold, nothing beats the dry heat of LA. So much better to be hot there and with the dry heat, it feels good and totally bearable even in the 90's. At least for me. I did go swimming the other day which I haven't done since...last January maybe? In LA of course. I did unexpectedly meet some friends there which was nice.
Also going to Montreal with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
clayangel in July to see some Ryan and Greg shows and I can't wait! Never been there before so it'll be good to expand my Canadian horizons.
Okay, now TV. Kind of behind on TV watching with two episodes of Doctor Who to watch and one BSG but both shows are kind of meh to me now so ehh whatever. Hopefully will do them tomorrow though. Not much of a Stephen Moffet lover as it always seems like there is too much random other characters and not enough character love of the ones I do love not to mention plots that I'm not very interested in (The Doctor Dances two parter was okay, plus JACK). So I'm not really that happy about the news he's running the show after RTD but I'm always willing to give him a chance so we'll see what happens. I still have lots of shows to catch up on from Farscape and The X-Files (the odds of finishing before VVC are now way down) to Prison Break and Smallville to Psych, Burn Notice and Mad Men. So little time, so much TV...
John Barrowman pictures of hotness. I am so, so disappointed that there's only going to be 5 episodes of Torchwood next year. I need my Jack fix! Plus, I need Jack and Ianto boykissing...*pouts*
Speaking of, does anyone know the best place to watch the gay parts of that German soap opera? I must see it! I checked out Luke and Noah and they were very cute but the soap opera stuff was too much for me at the time...I may see all of it later though. I am interested in Forbidden Love though.
BEST COMMERCIAL EVER: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGDFJPljXNw I just...god, it made me cry. As a huge flying fan, it made me want to fly again so badly and I strongly believe someday I will even if it's not the real thing. It's so cute and very, very touching.

I have a ticket to the tennis US Open finals! *squee* It'll be my first time going or ever seeing a match live so I really can't wait. Plus I am pretty sure that Federer is going to make it to the finals and tie Pete Sampras's record so I want to see history in the making. I would totally stalk him as I reeeally want to meet him but I'm just going to go for a day to save money so it's not worth the effort. I'm sure I'll meet him someday. The loss at the French Open broke my heart, I was really invested this time and it's always devastating when he can't quite pull it off. Oh underdogs, you kill me.
So I started watching The Biggest Loser on a whim a few days ago...and somehow developed a serious crush on the trainer, Jillian Michaels. I definitely have a type for tough, awesome, ass kicking woman especially dark haired women. The thing is while I think a lot of women are very pretty, I'm usually not very attracted except for a few and personality plays a big part in that. The short list (besides Jillian) is Lena Olin, Alexandra Hedison, Kate Moennig, Karina Lombard and Lena Headey (Katee/Starbuck in the miniseries is very close). But sometimes the stars align and they definitely do in this case. My love for her has grown exponentially while watching Season 5 (how much do I hate the game? FUCK THE GAME) and she pulls off the HARDCORE, yelling (and I love that she swears so great) trainer like no other and I loooove it and eat it up. She's got me so invested in her winning that I cheer ecstatically at the victories and cry at the losses (oh god one scene in S5 was SO heartbreaking it HURT...oh the woobieness). I love a good Jillian beating and nothing beats Jillian HUGS (they make me so happy!). She's so inspiring to me and a great role model which works for me so much as having people to look up to motivates me a lot. Team Jillian for LIFE. (Trainer love! ie where Jillian and Bob are cuteness)
Plus I love that she loves martial arts as one of my dreams is to be able to kick ass like all my girl heroes (and guys too) that I love from both my Sydneys (first Walker Texas Ranger, then Alias) to Buffy and all the other great warrior women (Zoe love!). I will definitely be making that happen at some point. If there's one thing I love about this season it was the awesome display of GIRL POWER. Just so amazing to be the underdogs and yet pull off some awesome, awesome wins. Because women CAN do anything and accomplish their dreams and do the impossible. Fucking A.
Also in one episode there was TIM GUNN. I literally screamed in the middle of the night, I was so excited. Talk about dream crossovers actually happening. There has not been enough Tim Gunn in my life lately. And I hope this puts the zaftig debacle to bed (TWSS...sorry force of habit). Also, July 16th is the Project Runway premiere, yay! Still the best reality show ever.
Oh the pretty! I will definitely be getting that shirt because I wants it reeeally bad. She is so damn irresistible.
Never done this meme so I'm trying it: You give me three names in a fandom I know, I tell you whom I'd toss off a cliff, whom I'd shag, and whom I'd marry. Then (if you like) I give you three names, and so it goes.

Three names! John Crichton, The Doctor (Ten), and Ianto Jones.
"Not much of a Stephen Moffet lover as it always seems like there is too much random other characters and not enough character love of the ones I do love"
I actually really like his writing. I absolutely loved "The Empty Child" and Moffet is the one who brought us Jack, so. :) I'm a bit worried about the big changes to both DW and TW, but we could do worse than Moffet for certain. Only five TW eps and only four DW is a big disappointment, though. I'm worried that with such a short season, the focus will be entirely on plot and we'll see very little of Jack/Ianto. Which would make me very, very sad.
Have you heard the rumonr about who will be replacing Owen and Tosh? I don't wanna give away spoilers if you don't.
no subject
Cliff John Crichton, Shag Ianto and Marry The Doctor. The last two are haaard and could easily switch him around. For you: Stringer, Bunk and Bodie.
I know, lots of people LOVE it but it doesn't fit my preferences. I love Jack but I still think he's more of RTD's guy although I can't be sure. I'm just scared of change really. The good thing is change happens a lot with DW. And yes with Jack/Ianto, I need more of them!
No but please tell me!
no subject
Hmmm... I guess I'll have to shag Stringer, marry Bunk and cliff poor Bodie. Even though I love him.
So the word on Owen/Tosh's replacements is that we'll have Martha and Micky from DW. This comes from some pretty solid sources, and it makes sense -- they won't be starting from ground zero with two completely new characters to integrate into the team (and introduce to the audience.) I really hope it's true, because I can not STAND the thought of watching Gwen lord it over new characters. Also, having Martha around will mitigate some of the pain of being stuck with Gwen. My only fear is that the writers will make her character less intelligent in order to make stupid Gwen look better, as they did with Tosh.
I've also read that the plan for season-three TW is a five-episode miniseries that will cover a single plot. I don't know how I feel about that -- on one hand, if it's a good plot, it might be fabulous. On the other hand, with so little time and a big plot to tackle, we'll likely have less time devoted to the characters' relationships. Which they must realize is why a lot of us are watching...
no subject
Aww yeah it's a hard choice.
Ooooh YAY!! That's so awesome especially Martha :D Hopefully they won't ruin her. I am bummed about the less time though. We'll see.

For you: Marcus Dixon, Eric Weiss and... Arvin Sloane.
no subject
For me... oh dear. Dude, that was a tough one! Tougher than what I picked for you. Hmm. Well, it seems obvious to cliff Sloane because he's a creep and Dixon and Weiss are both such nice people. And it seems obvious to marry Dixon since he's such a family man. Unfortunately I am not a family woman, so I'm gonna have to cliff him - I doubt we have the same values and views on things anyway. And I'd definitely marry Weiss. Does that mean that I'd willingly shag... Sloane!? O_o Whoa.

Okay for you: Daniel Meade, Marc St. James and Henry Grubstick.

I totally forgot to give you three! How about: Ryan, Rodney and House?
no subject
Ideally though, I'd have Ryan shagg Rodney on top of a cliff and end up on House with a weird STD. lol :)

Yay for going to Canada! Permaybehaps this time *I* shall be the victor. *gives Canada the stink eye*
Only 5 episodes, really? 8 or 9 I'd understand, but 5!? Coupling never even had that few. We'd been doing 12 and 13 the past two seasons, right? That's a HUGE drop.
no subject
I hope it'll go well! And yeah, it sucks. Hopefully it'll be a one time thing.
