Happy Birthday ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) sisabet and coffeeandink! It was great to meet both of you at Vividcon :) Also Happy Belated Birthdays to yhlee, almostcanon and clayangel! Hope you all had great days.
Nothing makes me happier than walking outside into 80 degree, sunshine filled days. It puts a smile on my face whenever I do it, knowing that I'm living the dream when I would have been freezing only a year ago. Second semester has begun and my days are pretty packed from 8-5. The good news is I'm making a lot of money and taking two awesome classes I'm loving, Social Psychology and Cognitive Psychology. So interesting and the professors seem great so far.
I'm still obsessed with The Office and have now rewatched all the episodes twice. I'm planning a third rewatching as well. It's just SO GOOD and I am completely in love with all the characters (except Andy). The show makes me so happy with Michael always making me smile. I've been watching a bunch of vids for it and found two that were well edited and wonderful here: http://4am-insomniac.com/?cat=3 with Love Machine being fast paced and fun and Lovin' Each Day being super cute, funny Jim/Pam goodness. Since I've been in a comedy mood, I've been rewatching Arrested Development and I think although both shows are about equal in quality, The Office has been more successful because of its ability to fully love and relate to the characters as well as having a big ship that people can get behind. I tried 30 Rock but didn't find it that funny and I'm beginning Scrubs now which I have yet to form an opinion on yet. And I'm still continuing to watch Gilmore Girls and Due South, both which I still enjoy very much.
Thursday night is definitely the best night of the week with The Office, Supernatural and Grey's Anatomy.
( The Office - Ben Franklin )
( Supernatural: Playthings through Houses of the Holy )
( Grey's Anatomy - Wishin and Hopin )
Is it Thursday yet? |

First of all, Happy (belated) Birthdays to f1renze, jackiekjono, snoopypez, seanmegansean and trustingno1! I hope you all had a great day and have a wonderful year.
Thursdays are quickly becoming my favorite day ever with all the great TV on. So here are some of my reactions to the shows I've seen:
( Grey's Anatomy 301 )
( Grey's Anatomy 302 )
( Supernatural 201 )
All I can say is I'm thankful to have such an awesome Flist with all the great thoughts on both shows. From commiserating in Supernatural love to having good discussions about Addison, it's been fun to read and participate in. I also checked out a few episodes of The Office since it seemed like Arrested Development and I do like it. Michael is too funny, he's my favorite so far. Busy watching BSG as well, I can't believe the S3 premiere is this Friday! It's so much nicer talking about shows when they air. In other fannish news, I am so happy to get my Whose Line DVD, the day it came out. The gag reels and extra scenes were awesome and hilarious and made me adore Ryan even more. I am so thankful that I have a cash flow coming in with my new job which thankfully allows for lots of homework and surfing the computer on the side, allowing me to be able to pay for stuff and no longer feel completely like a poor college student.
In case anyone's interested, I updated my memories to list all the vid meta I could find, listed in categories to hopefully make them easier to find. I figured since I spend so much time going through all the meta, might as well make it easier to find. I also started putting some categories for vid recs but that's far from finished so many of the fandoms are not well represented with good vids. Thank you to everyone who has vid meta links in their memories along with permetaform for her Big List of Meta page, which all helped a lot. On a vid meta note, I have lots of ideas for what I want to write up...just no time right now. Sometime in the future, that's for sure.
I'm still in love with California, the warm weather glow hasn't worn off yet and each day I'm grateful for being in a place that makes me happy. I don't even mind it being cold or waking up early in the morning now because I know that it won't last long, I have warmth every day and can choose to sleep in til 11 whenever I want. It's all about choice and I love the freedom that I have here. A few weekends ago, I went to Huntington Beach at night and it was one of the most amazing experiences ever. Totally worth all the biking/busing/walking I did to get there. I love the ocean the most at night and one of my favorite things about it is that it's free, its open to the world. I wasn't even at the main beach and I could just walk in the sand and waves and feel at peace with the world. I was alone which was nice as I could freely relax and enjoy myself. I can't put into words what made me so happy about it, I'm just a nature person so it connected with me. But that's not to say I don't like cities too. I went into LA yesterday as I haven't been able to really explore the city since I've been here. I liked it, lots of things to do and see. Next time, I will definitely bring my bike on the Metrolink (which was surprisingly, quite nice) which will make it easier to get around. Next weekend: Disneyland! I can't wait. |

| More Grey's Anatomy Thoughts |
[Feb. 23rd, 2006|01:12 am] |
Well I've quickly renewed my past obsession with Grey's Anatomy after Sunday's episode and a rewatching of season 1. Rewatching the first season helped me remember why I love these characters, their relationships, all the crazy medical stuff, the humor, the music...I could go on and on. I love the freshness of the beginning, before we had so many of the problems and the mixed up love geometric shapes. Not to say I don't enjoy that, but its nice getting a taste of what it was like before it. Plus it made me remember why I love some of the characters I haven't enjoyed so much this season. That would be Meredith, George, McDreamy and to a much less degree, Addison but that's more in the middle of season 2 (can't believe we're approaching the end of s2 :( ). But I really like them now, most significantly Derek as he's been disappointing me lately and I haven't understood why everyone is so goo goo eyes over him. I still don't get the hotness effect but he certainly has charmed me over so I really like him again. And now I get the Derek and Meredith shippers because they really are sooo cute together in the first season. Very romantic with some great lines and moments together. I especially loved the end of episode 8 which melted my romantic heart. I hope that the writers will eventually give them some of that happiness again.
On that note, I've fallen more in love with Mark and Mark/Addison (Maddison) and am pulling for a happy ending for them and D/M. Mark and Addison just make sense to me, they both have these great, confident personalities that are admirable as well as being perfect for major chemistry which I see between them. He really loves her and wants her which Derek is unable to give. I think in this case, all parties need to forget the morals and obligations and past hurts and do what will make them happy and move them forward in their lives. I keep rewatching the Yesterday episode and it stuns me not only how gorgeous McSteamy is but how he can say just the right thing and how he carries himself. The elevator scene gets me everytime and is an honest portrayal of how the situation stands now. The touch is beautiful and says everything. In my eyes, Mark/Addison should not only be together because they love eachother but because they're a better match than Derek/Addison. They remind me of the Nip/Tuck triangle of Sean/Julia/Christian with the two guy friends and the woman they both love who marries the wrong one...which leads to the cheating and splitting up they both experience. I just wish in each case, they chose the right person so this mess wouldn't happen.
Anyways, I'm hoping the writers will give us some flashbacks of NYC and the early relationship of Derek/Addison/Mark as well as keeping Mark around (PLEASE!) and getting him back with Addison. I'm just hoping they can stay in Seatle as unrealistic as it may seem. I can only hope...I also need some more clips of them for a video I'm planning on making. My rewatching GA episodes in part stems from this need to outlet my obsession into something creative. Reeeally can't wait for the next episode, only 4 more days! |
