| Glee is love, part two |

I am tired so this is going to be short:
( Spoilers for Glee 202 )
Besides that, things have been up and down (public transportation is hell). And very hot which I can't complain about, just not as much fun when you're walking around a lot. Been catching up on some shows including Dexter (OMG awesome), Mad Men (EPICALLY AWESOME! again), Cougar Town and HIMYM (not too funny but I love the characters). Also Cougar Town deserves major props for making me like the main couple together. THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT! Seriously TV shows, don't shove them down people's throats, just let them interact and let what happens good or bad happen. I am impressed. Also the finale ending was perfect last season. |

So I'm leaving for NYC, New Jersey and Delaware (not in the same day) tonight. Hopefully it'll be a fun trip, looking forward to seeing Ryan and the gang as well as friends of course. Going to stay away from LJ/DW if I can help it, I think I need a break from it all.
Briefly, TV. Glee is continually too awesome to put into words. Nurse Jackie continues to be amaaaazing. Zoe is pure love ♥ Loving Marshall and Tara (and Lionel) as usual on United States of Tara. Sheldon continues to rule The Big Bang Theory. Barney/Robin makes me sad now (although I continue to ship them). Modern Family is love but I'm starting to be dying for a Cam/Mitchell kiss as it is becoming a Thing sadly.
And that's all I have time for now. Call my cell if you need me. |

The Big Theory OMG!!! Just gave me everything I could want from it for Christmas <3
( The Big Bang Theory 311 Spoilers )
I'm glad this show came into my heart as HIMYM and me are in a bit of a fight. I'm just pissed in how they ruined my ship in such a stupid, makes no sense kind of way. So I'm angry everytime I see Barney and Robin. It doesn't help that the show hasn't been that funny lately. The episode before tonight's did have a romantic moment at the end though.
Also LOVED the comedy block on Thursday. All amazing episodes particularly The Office (written by Mindy Kaling, of course!) and I did love the including of many religions/beliefs on Community (agnostic! athiest! yay :D). They have helped during finals time, which just please end now I am soooo sick of school. In good news though, my job is going very well! A big part of my job is designing websites and using Photoshop so it works for me.
I really, really love my Adam CD :) I will never not need more Adam pictures around my desk/bed. And I don't care what anyone says, I think he's very very pretty in the picture. Mmmm Adam. |

Linksapalooza:
Nominate Fandom's Hottest Characters. Choose three of your hottest characters of all time. For the record, this is impossible for me to have any kind of rankings but I chose Brian Kinney (that was easy actually), Stringer Bell and Irina Derevko. I was trying to go based on hot rather than favorite/cute/sexy/most awesome (although my nominees all qualify there too).
The Organization For Transformative Works (of which I am a member :))is hosting an online con full of fannish celebration at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif) otw_onlinecon in honor of being one year old with challenges, panels, events and more. Go check it out!
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) trollprincess is holding a talk about awesome female characters day here. It was great reading about many of my favorite characters and I talked about the awesomeness that is Irina Derevko.
After this article about why women don't like sci-fi which is mostly bullshit IMO, here's a poll about women and sci-fi with over 1000 women liking sci-fi, thank you very much. I love sci-fi because I love good characters and stories which sci-fi has many including exploring interesting themes in unique ways that are hard to explore in other genres.
EW's List of the 25 Funniest People in Entertainment. They got a lot right including Steve Carell, Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, Will Arnett and Amy Poelher and David Cross. I would also include the writers of The Office especially Mindy Kaling and Paul Lieberstein.
EW's List of great Ugly Betty quips I love this show.
Some brief TV thoughts:
( Spoilers for the latest Ugly Betty )
( Spoilers for the latest Grey's Anatomy )
( Spoilers for the Supernatural finale )
( Spoilers for the How I Met Your Mother finale )
( Spoilers for the Gossip Girl finale )
I absolutely loved the House finale and it totally made me cry but I will talk about it at length later. |

I watched The Office up to The Client last night and it was so much fun! Michael/Jan were so perfect back then, it makes my heart happy. Everything was perfect in my eyes. Oh, my show.
Gossip Girls is reminding me of Veronica Mars (and not because of Kristin Bell's voiceover) in terms of relationships which can only be a good thing. ( Spoilers for Gossip Girl up to Woman on the Verge )
There's a new interview up with Silvio Horta's thoughts on this season of Ugly Betty and the next. It reminds me of Tim Kring's interview where he acknowledges the mistakes of S2 (although UB's weren't as bad IMO) and promises to fix them next season. Plus UB is moving to NYC next season! Personally I love it because shooting on location brings more of a realistic touch to the show. The sad thing is that Marco Pennette's leaving the show :( He wrote the Thanksgiving episode (Dreamgirls dancing!), Don't Ask, Don't Tell (favorite episode still), East Side Story and the Wedding episode (one of my absolute favorites). ( Spoilers for Ugly Betty up to Betty's Baby Bump )
Nothing much to say about BSG except that the last episode was awesome and got me excited about the show again so yay BSG!
( Spoilers for Doctor Who up to the latest episode )
If you've ever considered watching How I Met Your Mother (or haven't!), I'd check out spectralbovine's pimping post for it here. He sums up a lot of the reasons I love it so much from it's lovable, pretty, relatable ensemble of characters to the nonlinear narrative timelines and flashbacks. It really is a smart, great show and after the first 8 episodes or so gets immeasurably more awesome. ( Spoilers for How I Met Your Mother up to Everything Must Go )
( Spoilers for Grey's Anatomy up to The Becoming )
The thing that bugs me about 30 Rock which I also had an issue with on Veronica Mars and Alias is how it seems like since they have the main character be a woman, they have zero or one other woman regular and that's it. The biggest thing about 30 Rock is where are the women writers? We have Tina Fey and that's it. Personally I only like Twofer and think the other writers are pretty lame. I wish Amy Poehler would star as a new writer although I doubt that's likely now. Anyways, I will keep enjoying the hell out of Liz and Kenneth like I always do. ( Spoilers for 30 Rock up to the finale )
Taken from celli: Cast your dream TV series of all time. Three to five actors, must include at least one male and one female. Tell me why they'd be so awesome together.
(Bonus points for show premise/location.)
Here's my answer and yes, I have thought of this a lot:
Lena Olin, Victor Garber, Gale Harold, Randy Harrison with special guest starring by Jennifer Garner. Insane amounts of chemistry all over the place and lots and lots of pretty.
It'd be an Alias spin off where Irina and Jack start their own spy agency in NYC (solving the Lena Olin problem) and eventually get Gale and Randy (characters TBD)to join them who fall in love and are the gay spy team. Sydney shows up a lot to go on missions with her parents. Jack is still never sure if Irina is using the resources and plans for her own motives...but that's what makes it fun. Flashbacks to earlier times in their relationship abound, Irina gets to spend lots more time with her sisters and family (Isabelle Rossalini guest stars) and there is an elaborate plan they work against that is completely serial starting from the beginning and ending with a huge bang that was all worth it. Lots of kissing and sex for all members of the cast as well as lots of Office like humor.
I'd probably spontaneously burst into flames because of the awesome, hotness and perfectness of this show every week but it'd be worth it.
So what are yours? |

Happy Office Day everyone! I am reeeally looking forward to tonight's episode as it sounds really, really good. And the promo was absolutely delightful. Michael/Ryan, yay! Plus ALL my shows are coming back for the best night on TV. Ugly Betty, Grey's and Supernatural are all back making me very, very happy along with The Office, Scrubs and 30 Rock. I am annoyed at the Scrubs and 30 Rock shift because it messes up my perfect comedy night of Ugly Betty, The Office and Scrubs that all fit so well with being all about the character love. But whatever, downloading solves all problems. Now all I need is for House to come back and all my favorite shows will be back (not counting the ones returning in the fall).
Lost and me are broken up now. I'm going to marathon the show once it's over but I barely get any pleasure from it anymore and feel like a puppet being dragged in crazy directions. I just don't see the brilliance no matter what people say. Hating Jack and most of the characters is probably the biggest reason. It's going to stop being abusive boyfriend now.
Random TV snippets: Absolutely loved How I Met Your Mother (which reminded me why I ship and watch TV with the euphoria) and The Office last week but don't really have much to say about them right now. Enjoyed the latest Doctor Who eps but the episodic nature of it bores me to death. Still miss Martha. OMG NEXT WEEK though. Caught up on Gossip Girl and am enjoying Chuck/Blair, Chuck/Nate and the cuteness of Eric. Also finished watching Eli Stone and Victor Garber continues to make me squee along with the yummy slashiness that is Eli/Jordan. I LOVE all the singing and musical numbers. Having sworn off Law and Order, Christopher Meloni made me change my mind with SVU because he is SO DAMN HOT and I just can't resist his insane amounts of charisma. I swear I don't usually watch actor's work just because I like their character but Victor Garber and Chris Meloni act in a way that reminds of their past characters and it's just nice seeing them again. I wish Lena would do more TV because I want to see her as well! Oz and Beecher/Keller have managed to get under my skin so I can't help but love and think about them so I'm slowly rewatching the first season. B/K kind of traumatized me by hurting me so much though so sometimes it's hard to watch.
I'm posting more of my Queer as Folk and Brian/Justin thoughts at IJ since some of the fandom is over there so if you want to read about that my journal's here. I'm also posting pretty regular updates at Twitter here if anyone is actually interested. I do better with short updates so I can override my perfectionist tendencies and I'm hoping this will be useful in the future if I want to see what I was up to back in the day.
I may have finally settled on my Premiere video after three tries. With some audio editing, I think it's manageable. I really hate vidding to deadlines though, the pressure can be so paralyzing. Hopefully someday I'll learn to start early.
Next up on my TV catching list: The OC S4, Flight of the Conchords, Prison Break S3, Psych, Sports Night and Carnivale. |

[Sep. 13th, 2007|08:15 pm] |
Yesterday I finished S1 of How I Met Your Mother. Somewhere along the way I fell in love with the show and I don't know how. After finishing episode eight, I was ready to break up with the show as I found it generally unfunny and the characters mostly blah, pretty normal white people who I couldn't really relate to. And Barney who I initially loved came across as your average womanizing guy which gets annoying really fast. But there are a bunch of smart people with good taste on my Flist who really love it so I kept giving it a chance because I couldn't understand where their tastes could be so wrong.
And they were right. WOW! The episode after the eighth was actually the start of a run of good episodes that kept me falling in love with it (totally unaware). I was even getting over the laugh track which drove me crazy at first (I am spoiled by The Office/Arrested Development) because I can't stand people fake laughing at stuff that's not funny as well as the humor not being quite as brilliant as I was used to. But by the wedding episodes I was starting to adore all the characters and relationships. And the show began to play with time (which works perfectly with the premise of the show) and do some unique things like cool visual stuff. And I could really see the show becoming a lot smarter over time and towards the end even made me compare it to The Office which is saying something. The show is finally getting that repetition and coming back to jokes in unique ways makes it even funnier.
( Spoilers for S1 episodes of HIMYM )
And WESLEY!! I know why he's there but Wesley *happy sigh* I've missed him. I need to see some S3 Buffy episodes. Also, FRED :D And when she was mentioning him indirectly, I was cracking up. Mmm Wes has not gotten any less hot no matter what his personality.
In other much more disheartening news, I lost all my Vividcon panel notes *cries* My mom threw them out most likely (*STABS*) or put them somewhere where they are lost. I have moved past my hate and grief (man, I NEVER write notes! Vidding meta is LOVE!) to general disappointment. I am really sorry to anyone who was looking forward to reading them and wish I had written them up sooner. This is not good news in my quest to finally finish my con report (which I'm still going to do, I swear!). ETA: Nevermind, I found them!! I never forget Vividcon (too much) at least. Still miss it though. |
