That's me in the icon right there. Moodwise that is.
Fangirl highs are the BEST. I am currently in one because of HOUSE AND WILSON GOING ON A DATE OMGOMGOMG!!! Eeeeeeeeee. And you know they have basically dated already but actually qualifying it as a date means it has to be more special than their normal dates so YAY! I hope Doris Egan or another House/Wilson friendly writer wrote it. I have been pretty meh about House lately, cute moments in the last episode with H/W aside but this is *just* the spark I need to get me back in the House/Wilson loving mood. Also plain ECSTATIC. My boys are offically dating! God they are so in love and meant to be and FATE and canon, hell fuckin yeah. . I have this vid idea that needs as many sparks as it can so this is wonderful. I am trying to contain myself but it's hard and this is after I ran around the block. Basically in my head it is a wonderful party of screams and squees and OMGs and super happiness. Ahhh this is why I ship my heart out.
In other fannish news, I have completely fallen for Andy/Oscar from The Office. And you know, I've been wanting a good slash ship on this show for awhile now and although I love Michael/Dwight and Jim/Dwight and Michael/Ryan and the general slashiness on the show, nothing really stood out to me. And I've always liked the Andy/Oscar stuff since Business Trip but it just took that hint of canonness in the episode before last week to make me full out shippiness. I'm surprised it took me so long as they have exactly the dynamic I love with the whole see through the hard exterior to the jelly inside as Andy says so perfectly. I'm such a sucker for that. But now I'm watching their scenes together and dying for more scenes together. I swear this is like right after I got into Michael/Jan and then had to wait a month before they had a scene together. It's SO frustrating for my shippy brain.
Some thoughts on Dollhouse: I thought it was kind of meh but had lots of potential so I'll keep going with it (although let's be honest, I'll watch anything Joss makes). The plot itself bored me but I like the concept of the show and Joss shows usually take some time to be developed. Mostly I missed the sparkling dialogue because seriously, that's one of the best parts! Also I worry about the characters as it's important for me to care about them and so far I'm having a hard time in part due to the premise. But I think it'll get better with time. I can see the Eliza Dushku may not be the perfect actor for the part but at least I care about her a little. I'm a bit puzzled on why so many people are interpreting the show as Joss thinks it's good/okay to treat the women/people like they're doing on the show, obviously it's bad and the show is not condoning it so I don't have a problem with it. From what I read, it sounds like the later part of the season will be better and if it gets cancelled at least it won't be the devastating Firefly loss. Which I am still bitter about.
College is going pretty well so far. Still trying to get a balanced schedule but I'm procrastinating somewhat less and reading more so that's good. I'm taking Computer Science 1, Visual Programming, Introduction to Financial Accounting and Primetime: The Game of Television. The last one, of course, is my favorite. It's like a TV industry RPG where there are producers who pitch shows to the networks who sell the shows to the networks and then everyone votes for what shows they watch. It's really fun! Unfortunately I'm stuck being a producer since there was some miscommunication in my network group and we didn't turn something in. It's hard for me as I don't gave a lot of workable TV show ideas (suggest some if you want!) but I'm working with my old group so that helps. I actually sold one of my ideas! It was all about using social media and stuff like that to stay in touch over long distances. Thank god for other teammates helping out with fleshing out plot and characters. The other classes are going well too, I like them all but there's not much to say about them. It's kind of lonely at times as it seems everyone else has a lot of friends and I'm just trying to meet people I have a connection with but I'm hoping I'll find a few as I get more involved with clubs and stuff. Although with my crappy luck, two clubs meet the same evening I have class for 4 hours. Arghhh.
I took the Census test because I really need a job and it pays double anything I've ever been paid. Plus it's proving hard to find a job on campus. And I reeeally want to go to Paley, hopefully to see Dr. Horrible and meet Nathan and if I get lucky, see the Battlestar event. Sadly the Pushing Daisies one is when I'll be off on Spring Break but I'm sure they'll show the episodes on the DVD or at another time at least. Can't wait for The Office tomorrow! And John Hamm on 30 Rock is soooo hot. I am all swoony throughout that show now.

That said, I have other problems with the show, including the lack of witty dialog. I don't understand why Joss would leave out his single greatest strength as a writer.
no subject
Man, I can only imagine what would have happened if they didn't make it more clear. Heh.
no subject
And by damnit, I mostly mean "OH and I was getting so good at APATHY." Pfft.

I understand that the show is at least attempting to say it's bad, but that doesn't necessarily stop it being exploitative. If it weren't presented so sexily I might be more inclined to give Joss/Fox the benefit of the doubt, but the pilot was sexually provocative and not intelligent enough for me to understand its message beyond "mind wiping hot chicks and pimping them out is unethical"! Which, DUH. If that's all Joss is saying, all while shoving tits and ass in my face, I'm not interested. (Of course, I'm sure Joss will try to say a lot more than that, I'm just not sure I care anymore.)

Does that mean you'd be the person going door to door for the census? My dad did that last time around. He did it "for fun" because he's weird like that.
no subject
Yeah basically or checking address numbers and such. I just reeally need the money.
no subject
OT, but when you have time can you email me about April? I think we should start planning for hotels and such...
no subject
Sure, that's a good idea.
no subject
(Of course there's the little problem where... Whedon and the network don't seem to be on the same page? And condemning it does not mean they're not also eroticizing it.)
Overall I think the premise is really intriguing and there were some cool moments, but nothing about it blew me away yet. Needs more banter! I know the show doesn't really lend itself to that, but *please* find a way to sneak some humor in, Joss.

I'm sailing that ship right along side you :D
If House starts heading that way, I might have to start watching again!

I hope you do!

Well, I've fallen on the going-to-keep-watching side of the fence, but one problem I have with that is the sexy ads with sparkly practically naked Eliza Dushku (and the ads with Dushku and Glau, and, well, pretty much all the ads) -- the show is obviously profiting (or trying to) off the sexiness of brainwashed prostitutes (/negotiators/assassins). Which may not be up to Joss, but it really makes me wonder whether TV is the right place for this kind of storyline. The whole thing comes off more "This is bad, but it's kind of hot, wink wink nudge nudge" than "this is bad!"

Re: Dollhouse. ED was on KIIS this morning and talked about how FOX are the ones who wanted a very clear cut episode... immediate payoff. And, OF COURSE, the intro motorcycle race and miniskirt dance - something that did not make me like the show any more/less. If anything, the length of ED's skirt actually made me uncomfortable because it was so ridiculously short.
no subject
I am SO not surprised. And yeah the dance was ridiculous.
