fun_like_that

So the feeling most of us have right now isn't so much, "Oh boy! The finale! I bet it's gonna be good!" as it is, "Alright. Here we go. Get your shit buckled in and try to keep track of the pieces of your heart to glue back together later."

Amirite?

Had my second massage today. My neck is le fucked. I can still feel some of the trigger points spasming and after she finished today I felt dizzy and headache-y, which is good but damn if it wasn't weird. I go back again in two weeks.

Oh, and can anyone dumb down what's been going on with Lost for me? I just watched the last 15 minutes of the finale but haven't seen an episode in... oh, two months or so, so I'm just this side of lost. Lost in LOST. Oh, I am so witty.

Big Bang peeps! I haven't had the energy to work on it yet this week beyond the 3000 I added on Sunday on account of this week being balls. I'll try to get the last couple scenes I need in there this weekend so we can start the betaing process.

First off, I want a freaking t-shirt. One that says, "I survived the opening, midnight show of Star Wars." It wasn't a BAD night, on the contrary it was actually kind of fun and until the midnight rush, rather slow. But holy crap. This is only the beginning. After this weekend I want an even better t-shirt that says, "Holy fuck. I survived the opening weekend of Star Wars. And now I might kill myself." Or something to that effect. Cause I'm on conf all fucking weekend. :(

Anyhoo. Went grocery shopping after my shift. At 1am. Yes. Was dead when I finished my shift, was even deader when I walked to the grocery store, around the grocery store and home from the grocery store.

And then I watched Lost. And whoa. I did a commentary to kantayra but then she went to bed and I retardedly closed the IM. :(:( So now I'm watching again.

( In which this is one of the best episodes of the season and manages to scare the shit out of me AND make me cry all at once. Amazing. )

I didn't watch Alias. I couldn't be bothered to record it. Whatever. Boring. And there's no more Veronica Mars. :( *sad*

I did see Crash and Unleashed recently though. Crash was good, still don't know what I think of it though. It was funny and certain parts were very touching/moving/had an impact. But overall I don't know how I liked it. Sandra Bullock was in it and did a great job. In fact, one of her final scenes touched me the most. I think it was SUPPOSED to move me in places but I really didn't feel it, it was a little forced. Usually I cry like a baby in these things, but not so much here. I'd recommend it though. It WAS a good movie.

Unleashed not so much. It isn't all kicking/punching/action. Which is what I was looking forward to. It actually tried to have plot. Lame plot. Morgan Freeman's daughter in the movie was annoying. Jet Li was... yeah, annoying. The whole premise was totally suspended from reality (I know you all don't think it's possible, I mean, a JET LI movie? Not based in reality? NEVER!). It wasn't even ha ha bad or bad!fic bad. It was just sort of lame. The fighting scenes were good but the plot was bad but there weren't very many fight scenes at all really. So... yeah. Crash yes, Unleashed no.

Maybe I'll actually get some writing done tomorrow. Wouldn't that be fun?

Fuck you again, Microsoft. I DON'T want to reboot!

Oh. Well. Let's just get right to it, shall we?

( For a Jack episode it was actually pretty damn cool )

Alias was... whatever.

I dled Veronica Mars. Twice. But I think I must be missing some sort of codec cause it won't play. There's something that is keeping it as the file name without the extension. Can anyone help me? I have the k-lite codec pack and the divx codecs. I think it must have something to do with the torrent itself because I can play all the other eps I've dled just fine. But because I just got the computer yesterday and tried to dl the ep last night there must have been something I forgot. Help?

Also, YIM is pissing me off by not notifying me of my emails, despite the fact that I have all the things checked in my preferences. The box, the noise, the icon in the tray... help? Anyone? Help out the technologically impaired?

Also, Part 4 of Five: December is here.

Eeeeee!

*runs around wibble!foaming with flailing arms*

I had HOPED this was going to be an awesome ep cause a) it's Hurley and he's teh shit and b) I'd heard about the basic premise of the ep and it sounded so cool. AND IT WAS!!!

( In which Charlie and Jack should both die cause Hurley's the shit and why isn't he the leader of the whole goddamn island? )

And then there was Alias. ( Is the fact that I'm so sad and angry over the way this show has gone a sign of my devotion to it, or a sign that I'm THISCLOSE to calling up JJ and asking him what he smoked this season? )

*sniff sniff* No Vmars this week, none till the end of the month. Suckage. The show is crying for ratings and yet they do shit like this and put a huge hiatus on it, without even running re-runs so new viewers can try to catch on. I DON'T want this show to get canceled. I've only just discovered it. You CAN'T TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME! *clings to it like a howler monkey*

Also, in case you missed it last night, I posted part of my Gale/Randy RPS called Five. The first part, September can be read here. Comments make me gooshy. Yup, just like that.

Eeeee! What an episode! *wibble!foams*]

There was very little in terms of progressing the overall storyline involving the island and the mysteries it holds and all that jazz but there was GOOD character progression with a little big more island mystery thrown in and more links between the characters, so that was awesome. While it didn't answer anymore overarching questions, it allowed us a few funny moments and time to stop rolling our eyes AT the continuous dragging of the "WTF?" questions.

Did that make sense? Yes? No? Who knows? Who cares? ONTO THE REVIEW! ( Pretty, pretty Sawyer. )

( And the show-formerly-known-as-Alias )

( And finally, Veronica Mars )

I was commanded by lucie_inthesky to watch E Talk Daily for the Queer as Folk clip on set. *sigh* I hate this show. Damn Ben Mulroney.

Also, *mourns hockey*

Whew! That's a lot of tv!

I had heard that this ep was going to answer a lot of questions we've had over the past, oh, forever- so I was looking forward to this ep.

*sigh* I need to learn to set my expectations lower in life. I have a feeling this review won't be very funny.

( Again, not a BAD episode, but not Solitary-good )

So that was Lost. If I had known just what this ep was going to be I would have seriously considered going to wait in line for rush tickets to tonight's presentation of Rent even though I just saw it last night. And it was AMAZING! I didn't like the chick that played Maureen very well but everyone else was wonderful and talented. The guy that played Roger was really good and almost made me cry during One Song Glory. I was crying about three songs before Contact so I'm sure the people around me were all- wtf is wrong with her? I fell in love with the guy who played Angel. So cute and I thought he did a wonderful job. I WISH WISH WISH I could have gotten some shots of them during La Vie Boheme cause that was my favourite number in the whole show, I'm sure, although for the first time I felt the I'll Cover You Reprise love. Collins? *wibbles* If only camera had a way to turn the flash off and if it did that I knew how to work it. Well, I'm not sure I could have really taken pictures anyway cause I was sitting in the second row (rent!snot close!) and looked into the eyes of most of the actors when they were there.

I just grinned up at them like the tard!moron I am. Told you I was speshul.

Dinner was amazing as well. Good food, good drink, good friends. All-in-all, a wonderful night.

Yay! Lost is back after a 3 week hiatus and Alias is back after ... *tries to count* awhile.

I'm watching the premiere of Alias as I type this and so far I'm unimpressed by the first half hour of the show, waiting to be wowed. I'll try not to let this affect my sparkling wit for the Lost review. *snort*

( In which I like Jack a little bit. For real. Stop laughing. )

Some thoughts on the premiere of Alias ( I'll have to wait and see... )

bamagal205 I got your package today and it was such a surprise! I wasn't expecting anything at all and then I got something from you and it just made my day! I LOVE the card and the bits? Stuff? Sprinkles? (brain fart) inside and the ornament is lovely! It's hanging on my wall. If I had a decent window I'd hang it there. Guess I'll have to wait till I move. Thank you so much!

Also, I FINALLY got notification that the Rufus CD I ordered last month is being shipped. Fuckers. I was thisclose to calling them but I didn't think they would tell me anything but - We can't change when the warehouse gets stock, we'll notify you when it's shipped. But it's coming! Rage subsiding.

Tomorrow I'm going to get my hair cut, finally, and check out my schedule. I need to book off the 18th (for RENT!!! OMGSQUEEWIBBLE!FOAM!!!) and get groceries and stuff. I'm going to looooove this Tuesdays/Thursdays off thing. Although, if things go as we're all expecting they will I might have an extended vacation after this weekend. My uni's profs are taking a vote tomorrow over whether or not to strike because they've been without a contract for the past year and a half. Talks broke down before Christmas (profs are demanding reduced classes and sizes, which I totally support) and a conciliator was unsuccessful. As long as I don't lose my year and they don't strike for long, I'll fine with it. *crosses fingers*

nikita_80 is still MIA. Have sent an email to see if she's okay.

If I were seriously suicidal I'd join all the Charlie/Claire comms and in huge-ass caps proclaim that "CHARLIE AND CLAIRE SUX SO HARD OMG!!!111!!"

And then I'd wait for the fangirls to rip me apart, limb from limb.

( Which isn't to say that the ep was BAD )

I guess that's all she wrote. Not perfect, but not total shit. Your average ep, I guess. I think after next week we have a break in eps until January, which sucks unless they show re-runs. But what TOTALLY KICKS ASS is that starting January 5th it's going to be JJ Abrams night with Lost being the lead-in for the season 4 premiere of Alias. How awesome is that? I'm so jazzed.

Also, because it'll get lost in the shuffle when I post this on top of it, My ego-stroking sign-up sheet. I do stroke more than egos though.

*walks away humming*

I didn't get around to putting my thoughts for 'Confidence Man' down because a) I didn't get the ep recorded Wednesday night because I'm a tard who can't programme the vcr right, b) I didn't get the torrent dled until Thursday night and then I transcribed the whole thing for lost_reference (so if you missed the ep and have no way to see it, you can go catch up there) and c) I'm a lazy ass.

Now that that's all cleared up let's get on with the review/blathering of this week's ep titled: ( omg wet, naked Sawyer, omg! or And the Shippers Went Wild )

So that was that. Looking forward to Sayid's ep this week and in the meantime I have 1x06 to transcribe. Fun!
