So, I started watching Supernatural like a month ago? Anyway, it was kind of reluctantly at first, because I watched the pilot a while ago and found it incredibly boring, plus I'm not really a fan of the horror genre, but since I decided to start the show because of Dean/Castiel, I actually had incentive to keep going this time. LOL.

The first three seasons were pretty good, but seasons 4 and 5 are definitely my favorites (as evidenced by this post). Not only because of Castiel and Dean/Cas (although that's obviously a huge part of it), but because I really loved the Apocalypse storyline and the fact that there were less stand-alone MOTW episodes during those seasons. Despite the fact that I basically watch shows of every single genre, including lots of crime shows, my favorites are always the more serialized ones (ex: Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Veronica Mars, etc.) so I was glad to see Supernatural take that turn.

Anyway, once I got all caught up, I ended up buying S4 and S5 on DVD, and decided to picspam my top 10 episodes. I already posted them all on tumblr, but picture quality isn't the best there, and my picspams don't look so good compressed, I decided to post them here as well. From the episodes and screencaps I chose, a lot of my opinions about the show become pretty obvious (quite a few Carver and Edlund episodes, LOTS of Dean, lots of Cas, not much Sam, and the aforementioned fact that seasons 4 and 5 are my favorites), but I would love to know y'all's opinions as well! :)

( tons of gorgeousness under the cutCollapse )

Again, like I said, all of these are posted on my tumblr, and of course feel free to like/reblog, but please don't repost them or anything. :)

So, on tumblr there's this "one screencap per episode" meme going around, and I decided to pick Alias. But since it's pretty much impossible for me to just pick one, and because I found an awesome gallery of HQ screencaps, I decided to just pick my favorite caps from each episode and spam them.

( Episodes 1x01 to 1x11Collapse )

Part 2 will be coming later.

Anyway, since I last posted, really not that much in my life has happened, other than my family moving back to Illinois from California. :| I really wish we didn't move, but at least I'm somewhere that I already know people so I have some friends.

Other that that, basically all I've done is go to school and watch tv shows. I'm taking this semester off though, so I'm trying really hard to get a job.

But seriously, I've watched so many amazing tv shows that I hadn't seen before: The X-Files, The O.C., The Vampire Diaries, NCIS, Everwood, Gilmore Girls, Firefly, Castle, Justified, 10 Things I Hate About You, Roswell, Criminal Minds, and especially The West Wing, which is just...perfection.

I've been neglecting LJ mostly because of tumblr, so y'all should follow me there! http://deepbutdazzlingdarkness.tumblr.com/

LOL wow, I haven't updated in so long.

There are so many TV shows I need to catch up on, but the past couple of weeks I have been on such a Bones kick. I had stopped watching after the season 4 premiere because I was so disappointed by the whole Zach thing and Angela and Hodgins breaking up, but last weekend I caught up with all the episodes I had missed, and I'm glad I did.

This past Monday, I went to the SYTYCD tour in Los Angeles, and it was amazing. Season 5 wasn't my favorite, but Jeanine is the first winner I have ever been 100% happy about, which is part of why I decided to go to the tour. All of the banter in between routines got a bit old, but I loved getting to see so many of my favorite dances from the season. The cast of the current season was there too, but I haven't seen episodes from it yet, so I wasn't as excited as I might have been otherwise.

Well...I think that's all for now. Do any of y'all have Tumblr accounts? If so, feel free to link me so I can follow you. :)

AND SINCE I HAVE A WHOPPING 0 FOLLOWERS RIGHT NOW, IF Y'ALL WANT TO FOLLOW ME: http://deepbutdazzlingdarkness.tumblr.com/

I AM IN SUCH A GOOD MOOD RN. :D

The other day I went to Target, and I bought seasons 1, 2, and 4 of Alias for only $40! As in, they were only like $13 each! I swear, every single time I go to Target, I discover more reasons why it's the best store ever.

And then I went on IMDb earlier because I wanted to look up someone I recognized, and apparently David Anders is gonna be on 24 next season! NGL, I only watched like 4 episodes of season 7, and it apparently sucked, but I still love the show, and I'm totally gonna watch. He's not gonna be playing a British guy for once (*single tear*), but it should still be interesting.

On a final note, I must say that amazingly enough, I somehow managed to forget just how beautiful David Anders is. Those crappy streaming videos of Alias are nothing in comparison to my DVDs, and it's amazing.

Today was LOTS of fun. Among other things, I:

- Went to see 17 Again, which was hilarious and adorable and awesome.
- Got Panda Express for dinner - yum Beijing Beef and Orange Chicken
- Read the last Jessica Darling book Perfect Fifths, which was...pretty much perfect, if you forgive the pun. ;) It was quite a bit shorter than the other four books, which I was disappointed about at first, but I loved it and the ending, so I'm satisfied.
- Bought my ticket for X-Men for next week. I'm looking forward to the movie and I'm totally excited to see Taylor Kitsch on the big screen.
- Speaking of big screens, they're putting in an I-Max screen or whatever it is at my theater, which should be cool.

On a totally different note, I'm not a fan of RPS, like at all, but I've been loving all these interviews with Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine for Star Trek, and between this, and the video below, they just make it so easy. ;)

Yes, it's not exactly day three, but just go with it. Today actually wasn't a bad day.

- I got out of my second class early, so I didn't have to run to catch the bus.
- I watched the last two weeks' episodes of American Idol, as well as last week's Lost. For like the first half of Lost, I totally forgot that Jack even existed, and it was the most glorious thing ever.
- Perfect Fifths (the last Jessica Darling book by Megan McCafferty) is on hold for me at the library! I've been waiting for this for months, and I'm so excited.

So I was supposed to be doing that meme, but the past few days I haven't been able to think of things that made me happy (pathetic as that might sound), and so I just skipped it. Let's just pretend that today (well, yesterday, but w/e) is actually the second day that I was doing it.

- I got a 95% on my PolySci paper that I wrote the night before! Whoohoo! I could have gotten a little bit better score if I had remembered a title page, but I'm not complaining.
- I finally joined Facebook, after resisting it for a while, and I got to talk to some of my friends. :)
- True Blood S2 Promo Clip! Unfortunately I'd already seen it (albeit in lower quality), but still, I'm definitely excited for June.
- I watched Hamlet 2, which is a really hilariously awesome movie.

So, I should probably be asleep right now because I have my early class tomorrow, but discolemonaaade tagged me for that "things that make you happy" meme, and I actually have some stuff to write about, so I'm getting this done.

- I got money in the mail from my godfather! For some reason I guess he always mistakes my half-birthday for my actual birthday, because it's like 6 months until September, but then he'll end up sending me a card at my birthday too, so idek.
- My mom bought me some Sour Patch Kids for no reason.
- I'm done with this week of hell! I totally procrastinated during all of spring break and I had three papers due this week, but I finished the last one tonight so I am stress-free for school tomorrow. (Well technically today, but I don't count it as the next day until I go to sleep.)
- Dates for the American Idol tour came out today, and so hopefully I can go to the Staples Center on July 16.
-

Umm, can it be June 14 already? I just got into True Blood last week, and I watched the whole season in two days. I can't wait for the second season, especially if they're really going to get through both book 2 and 3 during it.

ETA: Oh, and I love Photobucket's new, totally easy tagging system. So much better than it used to be.

OMGOMGOMGOMG, Friday Night Lights got renewed for TWO seasons!!! I'm so happy right now. :D Apparently Tyra and Lyla are not going to be coming back as regulars, which is too bad, but honestly, as long as Eric and Tami are on the show, I'll watch it, so I'm not too upset. My only worry is that as the show goes on, the quality might decrease, but last season was a MASSIVE improvement over S2, so hopefully that won't happen.

Everyone who hasn't watched this show really should. Even if you don't like football, it is one of the best shows I've ever seen, and is still going strong after its third season. I'm not going to spoil anything for people who are watching it on NBC or might want to watch it in the future, but the S3 finale set up some really interesting storylines that I'm excited to see play out, so this is such awesome news.

Rules:
1. Pick 16 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO cheating, if you don't know any of them then that's just too bad.
6. You don't have to be tagged in this to play.

Also, happy birthday aurilly! I haven't talked to you in a while, but I whipped a little something up for you, and I hope you like it :)

So, it's been a long time since I last posted (over a month), but I FINALLY SAW RENT, so I have to post/gush! LOL.

Last Thursday was such a great day. Unfortunately T/Th are the days where I have my early class (at 9:30. LOL), but my last class got canceled, so I decided to just go down to Hollywood early. It's surprisingly easy to get there - I just have to take the bus which stops right by my school and then make one transfer and it takes me to literally just around the corner from the Pantages.

( What I did to kill timeCollapse )

( My thoughts on the show and everythingCollapse )

So now I have two musicals left to go see at the Pantages - Grease a week from Thursday, and then Legally Blonde at the end of August. I'm also going to go see West Side Story at the beginning of May, because they're doing it at Villanova this year! I'm kind of disappointed that they didn't do WSS while I was still in high school, but I'm almost more excited to just be able to WATCH for once.

Anyway...I think that's all for now. I'm in the computer lab rn, because I don't have my last class until 2:15, so I decided I should finish this post up (which I started on Friday. LOL).

OMG, I love HIMYM so much. This was such a great episode. All the Barney/Robin scenes were awesome, and the B-plot was good too ("Lady-hips!"). I wish we could have gotten to see Robin's video resume, but at least Barney's was hilarious.

Then again, with NPH singing, talking in a British accent (with a wee bit of Scottish), and wearing jodhpurs, how could it go wrong? LOL. Speaking of that accent, it just reminded me once again how David Anders NEEDS to guest-star on HIMYM. He could be Barney's British cousin or something.

As for Gossip Girl...I actually thought this was a pretty good episode, considering how mad a lot of the characters make me. Seriously, I hate Dan, Ms. Carr, Nelly Yuki, and Lily/Rufus. Although I was glad to see SOMEONE point out how Ms. Carr was being inappropriate even if nothing sexual was happening between her and Dan, even if it was Rufus.

The Chuck stuff was kind of boring, but I'm hoping that this means we will get to find out more about Bart. It definitely has the potential to be interesting though.

Lost was so good this week! I mean, that's to be expected, what with no Kate and Jack and a focus on Desmond, but still. OMG, Desmond and Penny's baby is SO cute. I loved the part where Des was telling him about the "Island" that turned out to mean England. And I was so distracted by everything else going on in the episode, that it never occurred to me that they might name him Charlie, so that was a really happy surprise. I seriously love them so much. Ben BETTER not end up killing Penny, or I am going to be so pissed. Desmond and Penny need to live happily ever after, whether on their boat or whatnot.

( More under the cutCollapse )

I also watched American Idol yesterday, and it was hilarious. Normally I don't like audition episodes, but I decided to watch because I was bored, and I'm so glad I did.

( Yay for the lack of cringeworthy people shownCollapse )

I've only watched a few movies since last time, but just scroll down to number 16 with the asterisk for the new additions to the list. And as always, I'd love movie recommendations.

( The bolded movies are ones I hadn't seenCollapse )

Also, a few other random things that are making me happy right now:

- There's less than a week until I'm going to see Phantom of the Opera. :)
- Less than a month until RENT! Just thinking about it makes me giddy. LOL.
- I might be going to see Taylor Swift on May 22 at the Staples Center! I know some people may not ~approve (although I still love y'all), but I'm quite excited. I've only ever been to two concerts ever, and it's on a Friday, which is nice. I don't care much about Kellie Pickler or the other group that's going on tour with her, but whatever.

LOL, it's been so long since I last updated. The most important thing I have to say is that LOST IS BACK! The first two episodes were great and I am so looking forward to this season.

( Some of the best moments under the cutCollapse )

Next, we got Dish Network this week, as well as a DVR! I'm so excited by this, especially since it's in the middle of awards season and I'll get to see red carpet stuff and everything. And I may or may not be watching a lot of Disney Channel. ;)

Also, I've gotten off to a good start with the movie meme. As always, I'm interested in recommendations. I like basically all genres of movies except for horror and vulgar sex comedies like Superbad and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Here's the list of movies I've watched so far, along with some commentary on them.

( Yes, I've been watching a lot of JGL moviesCollapse )

I think that's all for now, and I'm off to watch Titanic, so I'll just leave you with this amusing gif from rutter_tongued:

So I just joined lost_dazzle the other day, and I was watching a bunch of funny Lost videos. These two are definitely the funniest. The first one is Ben/Locke (btw, why do fans of that call it "Bocke"? "Blocke" is so much better. LOL), and I'm assuming it's supposed to be funny. The other one is Sayid/Claire, and it's pretty much just funny because of the randomness of it.





Also, OMG, I just watched that special feature called "The Oceanic Six: A Conspiracy of Lies", and I loved it SFM. Conspiracy theories have always interested me, and it was cool to see all the huge holes in the O6's story. I must say, I never thought of the whole...cannibalism thing. LOL. I must say though that if this was real, I would totally be convinced by it.

Gossip Girl was great tonight. The three weeks or whatever went by a lot quicker than I expected them to.

( My thoughts under the cutCollapse )

Try out this Meme

Brought to you by NardVille

Unlike a lot of people, 2008 was pretty great for me. I graduated, turned 18, voted for the first time, got my own room (for the first time in 18 years), got a laptop, saw Wicked, and more stuff that I can't recall. I don't know how 2009 is going to turn out, but I'm going to be optimistic.

Normally I don't make New Year's resolutions, but I decided to try this year.

1. Get more sleep! This is something I really need, so I'm going to try and go to bed by like 1 am on school nights and nights where I have to be up early the next morming. I'll probably fail, but at least I don't have to start until February.
2. Not spend so much time on my computer. This is linked with the not-sleeping, so hopefully these can go together.
3. Read at least one book a week. As a result of spending so much time on the computer, I barely ever read anymore. Although it of course only takes me a couple hours to read something, hopefully this will be a motivation for #2.
4. Eat more healthily. Or if I can't do that, at least stop eating so much junk food.
5. I'm gonna try that "watch 200 movies in a year". So far I'm on one and a half. Last night I watched Mysterious Skin (which OMG, was so sad. :() and started Brick (yes, I'm on a JGL kick rn. LOL).
6. Catch up on all the TV shows I need to - Dexter, Nip/Tuck, Heroes, Bones, and Ugly Betty.
7. Last but most definitely not least, try and think before I speak. I can control myself online, but I'd like to be a better person for my family to be around, and this is the best way to do so.

Hopefully I'll manage to keep most of these, and if anyone has movie recommendations, I'd love to hear them.

ETA: I obviously didn't mean 500 movies. WTF, that would be impossible. LOL.

Here's a meme I stole from...someone a long time ago. I just finished it though.

Name six of your current favorite TV shows before reading the questions and answer them accordingly.

1. Friday Night Lights
2. Gossip Girl
3. How I Met Your Mother
4. Lost
5. Mad Men
6. Heroes (I guess, even though I haven't watched since Adam got killed off...)

( Questions under the cutCollapse )

Wow, that only took me like a week and a half. LOL. It's done now though.

I've been lazy, so here are the last three days for me.

Christmas Eve
- I don't really remember everything that happened, but my mom bought Home Alone 2, and we watched that.
- I got the Wicked episode of Ugly Betty on iTunes.

Christmas
- I didn't get woken up TOO early by my siblings.
- I got some nice presents: Lost S4 on DVD, fake Uggs (which actually aren't as comfortable as you might expect, a Lost calendar (with Desmond on September!), a lap desk (although I'm bringing it back b/c I don't *really* need it, a bunch of candy (Lemonheads, chewy Sweetarts, peanut butter Twix), and a $10 iTunes giftcard.
- I bought Mean Girls on iTunes for only $4.99!
- My sister got the complete series of Full House!

Today
-I watched the first few episodes of Full House, and Stephanie is SO, SO adorable. She was always my favorite character, and is definitely cuter than Michelle. MK & A were...not very cute as babies.
- I got Panda Express for dinner. Mmmm Bejing Beef and Orange-Flavored Chicken.
- It was only $13 for Legally Blonde and Legally Blonde 2 at Target today! I would have bought a bunch more movies as well (Cruel Intentions, Bye Bye Birdie, and more), but I didn't have enough money.
- ADAM PASCAL AND HEATHER HEADLEY SINGING MY TWO FAVORITE DISNEY SONGS! So apparently there was some concert in London with West End and Broadway stars singing Disney songs, and since they were in the OBC of Aida (which is SUCH an amazing musical btw), they participated. Anyway, they sang A Whole New World and Can You Feel the Love Tonight, both of which I love SFM. It was such an unexpected surprise to hear about this (as well as get a download of it), and it made me REALLY happy.
- Just to keep the previous comment from being so long, Adam also sang Strangers Like Me from Tarzan, and they both sang Written In The Stars from Aida.
- My headphones broke (which is really annoying, since I DNW sound only coming out of one year), but j_aimegarcons told me about Skull Candy headphones, and they look really good (and have a lifetime warranty), so I think I'm going to get some.

1. My siblings and I got our yearly package from my aunt. She always bakes us a bunch of different kinds of cookies and sends us a few DVDs. This year we got Toy Story (since we only have it on VHS) and National Treasure 2. Although personally I prefer Toy Story 2, I love both of those movies. The history/conspiracy theories in National Treasure is so interesting to me. Plus Riley is adorable, and I want the main girl's wardrobe.

2. After searching at like 3 different stores, I managed to find some thick tights. Seriously, why do they make footless tights in every single color of the rainbow, but I can't even find like one pair of normal black tights? As Blair Waldorf said, "TIGHTS ARE NOT PANTS". ;) Anyway, I got some black knit tights, as well as some adorable red ones with silver snowflakes. And no, they're not as tacky as they sound. LOL.

3. Chocolate covered pretzels + marshmallows = yumminess. My mom bought a bag of big marshmallows, so I decided to try just eating some with my pretzels, and it was really good. Sort of like a variation on s'mores, but with pretzels instead of graham crackers, and not warmed up.

4. Music! Here are some songs I'm loving at the moment:

- Colors of the Wind (from Pocahontas) by Sara Ramirez (Yes from Grey's Anatomy, but she's also a Tony-Award winning actress and has a beautiful voice).

- No Good Deed by Eden Epinosa (I have practically been listening to Wicked non-stop since I went to see it last Friday. LOL)

- A Change Is Gonna Come by Matt Doyle from Spring Awakening (and recently Gossip Girl). He absolutely KILLS it. So good.

So I was lazy and haven't done this for the past few days, so here are some things that made me happy on days two through five.

1. The main thing (that I've been happy about since day two) is that on Friday I WENT TO SEE WICKED. It was the first time I saw Wicked and the second ever professional theatre production that I've ever seen (the first being The Lion King two years ago).

( Cut for my musical theatre-obsessed ramblingsCollapse )

2. In a very, very close second is the fact that on Saturday, I bought tickets for RENT!! As in, on March 5, 2009, I WILL BE SEEING ADAM PASCAL AND ANTHONY RAPP when the tour comes to Los Angeles!!! To say that I am excited...is a huge understatement. I was really sad when Rent closed on Broadway, because it meant that I would never be able to see it, but this is even better than seeing it in New York. Gah, I love Adam Pascal.

( More under the cutCollapse )

Wow, it's been like a month since I last posted. Sorry for that. I've been really busy with school and other stuff, but now I'm done! So hopefully I'll be able to update more.

Anyway, I discovered today that sadeyedsmile tagged me for that 8 Days of Happiness meme, so I guess I'll start today. Here is some stuff that made me happy.

1. Being done with finals! IDK how I did, but they're over with for now, and I'm off from school until February 9. Yay for community colleges?

2. I didn't have to wait very long for the bus. I hate it when I have to wait like 20 minutes because I JUST miss the bus. (Especially when it comes while I'm waiting to cross the street to get to the bus stop. Yes, unfortunately that has happened many times.)

3. A new episode of FNL! I love that show SFM, and I can't believe that there's only 2 more episodes of this season (and maybe ever!) ( More under the cutCollapse )

4. NPH is hosting SNL when it comes back in January! That show hasn't been very good for a while, but I will still watch it for him. I hope there is a Dr. Horrible sketch! Speaking of which, I finally watched Dr. Horrible last week, and I love it so much! NPH has such a good voice and he was so adorable.

5. David Cook covering Hunger Strike again! That is one of my absolute favorite covers that he has done, and I love that he has Andy Skib in his band so that they can sing this again (if you'd like to compare, here is David singing it with the Midwest Kings pre-Idol).

6.
I'm so looking forward to this movie. It looks pretty good, and I'm excited to see Taylor Kitsch on the big screen. :) And I find Hugh Jackman so hot as Wolverine.

LOL, so I've been working on this post for like 4 days, and I'm *finally* done with the first part.

Comment and I'll give you a letter.

Then you have to list ten things you LOVE that begin with that letter.
Afterward, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own.

I got two letters, but I had to make two posts because I can't figure out how to embed more than 3 videos without the last ones getting embedded all weird. Anyways...here's part 1 of 2. ontheseboats gave me T. As I tend to ramble, this should come as no surprise to y'all that this is very pic-heavy. :)

( Ten things I loveCollapse )

And also, I was tagged by sadeyedsmile to do this quiz.

A) People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs & replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.

B) Tag 4 people to do this quiz & those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by & cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by. Continue this game by sending it to other people.

( Cut for my surprisingly brief answersCollapse )

I guess I tag...aurilly, discolemonaaade, ffitzgerald, and rutter_tongued.

OMG, so I went to see HSM 3 this morning, and it was SOOO good. I'm definitely going to go see it again, even if I have to take my little sister with me. LOL.

( Spoilers under the cutCollapse )

I'm sure there will be more that I remember later, so don't be surprised if I write more about this later. :)

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

sbutt02 and tju_tju_tju_tju picked icons of mine, and since some of them overlapped, I'm just gonna put them all together.



This is pretty much my favorite icon. It was my default for like 6 months, until I got out of school and actually had time for LJ. Anyway, it's from the S2 finale of Heroes, an episode entitled Powerless, and I love it so much because Adam is one of my favorite characters, (RIP. *sniff*) and David Anders plus a samurai sword = win. tbh, I kind of ignore Peter as part of the team, since basically all he did was be Adam's "superpowered boytoy" (I love the EW recap that called him that. LOL), but whatever. To see this scene in action, here's a video with a bunch of clips from Powerless. Sorry, unfortunately embedding is disabled, and I don't have time to find another video. The awesome badassness starts at around 2:02.

( More icons, explanations, and videos under the cutCollapse )

And now I have to go to bed, because I'm getting up early and going to see HSM 3! YAY.

ETA: Does anyone know how to embed more than 4 videos without the last one embedding all weird? I didn't know how to fix that, so I had to switch one of them to a link.

ETA 2: For discolemonaaade and anyone else who likes Dexter:

( A random hot picture I found under the cutCollapse )

So, after seeing aurilly's post about the promo pics, I went searching for them. I made a post of them for ONTD, and since I spent lots of time uploading them and stuff, I figured I might as well post them here too. Warning: this post is picture-heavy and spoilery. Hopefully y'all don't consider episode titles spoilers, but if so, I'm sorry. Oh, and jsyk, the text is from the source, not me. LOL).

( Episode 3x05 - Angels and MonstersCollapse )

Here are more from a different source.

14. Sark/Sydney - Alias
15. Buffy/Faith - BtVS

( Questions under the cutCollapse )

So someone had an icon of this on ONTD, and it reminded me to go see if they had it on Youtube. It's soo hilarious. "Taste my bisexual fury!" "His name is Freedom. And he's bisexual." And is it just me, or does Zach sound a lot like the guy who plays Ted on HIMYM on the line about that guy not wanting to hug him? LOL, this makes me want to go watch so noTORIous. Zach REALLY needs to do more comedy. He's so good at it.

So, since there was a *severe* lack of Mohinder in my picspam yesterday, which surprisingly I didn't notice last night, here is one just of him, for aurilly and all the other Mohinder lovers. :)

( Mohinder better keep staying this prettyCollapse )

Also, this is something that ibroketuesday pointed out to me yesterday, but wasn't Adam's hair looking S1 Sark!esque?

( ObserveCollapse )

And these aren't from S1, but I'm posting them anyway, because I can. :)

I can't WAIT until next Monday.

HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES DO PEOPLE HAVE TO ASK ABOUT CAITLYN? Okay, maybe that doesn't deserve the capslock!rage, but seriously. In every.single.episode thread, someone asks that, and I am so sick of it. She's in the future and not coming back, get over it. Grrr, it's so annoying.

Anyways, I thought this episode was pretty good, particularly one part, which I'm sure everyone knows. ;) ( Spoilers behind the cutCollapse )

And now time for a quick picspam, thanks to the lovely people at Heroes Pictures who upload screencaps so fast.

( Lots of hotness behind the cutCollapse )

ETA: Thanks for the help, sassydancesong. My album art seems to be fixed now.

It's Heroes Monday! I even had waffles this morning, although I didn't even remember what day it was until I was in class this morning, and then I got all excited. I really hope this episode lives up to my expectations. Who wrote it anyway?

On a *completely* different note, maybe one of y'all can help my with a problem with my iPod? I have album art for all of my music, and it's all right, but ever since like a couple weeks ago, when I actually listen to music on my iPod, totally random, unrelated artwork shows up for my songs. Does anyone know why it's doing that?

Here's that meme that's going around.

1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something - a fandom, a song, a color, a photo, a word, etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask you something I've always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favorite userpic of yours.
7. Post this on your LJ if you want to!

OMG, so much TV goodness this week. HIMYM wasn't *that* great, but I quite enjoyed Heroes and GG, Pushing Daisies was adorable as always, and Friday Night Lights came back too! Thankfully I found a link online, as we don't have DirectTV. I already took my time to write out my thoughts on the episode elsewhere, so here they are.

( Cut for spoilersCollapse )

Other random thoughts...I watched Aladdin today. :) I loved it as much as always. And I've decided that Joe needs to sing on a Disneymania version of A Whole New World. IDK with who though, but preferably not Demi. Also, my brothers were watching one of those Halloweentown movies, and geez, the girl in that looks SO old. Like 17 going on 40. It was kind of ridiculous. I'm way excited for Halloween this year, because I'm actually going to be home for once. IDC if I'm not even in high school anymore, I'm going trick-or-treating. :) I'm gonna take my little sister with me though, so I have somewhat of an excuse. LOL.

Yay, I'm 18 today! All things considered, I had a pretty good day. I made the 2:15 bus after school (which unfortunately doesn't always happen, and then I have to wait for 20 minutes in the boiling hot sun for the next one), which automatically put me in a good mood.

I'm still mad that our oven doesn't work, because I didn't get a homemade cake, but we bought a chocolate one with strawberries on it, and it was pretty good. And for dinner, we had grilled bacon and cheddar cheeseburgers (with the bacon and cheese mixed in with the hamburger) and barbecue chips. Yummy.

Unfortunately I didn't really get any good presents, but I didn't really expect to, since as late as last night, my mom didn't know what she was gonna get. LOL. I got a cute pink zip hoodie and the latest Heroes magazine. I might exchange the magazine though, because $10 can be spent on better things.

Speaking of which, Heroes is tonight! Yay, in like 2 hours. Meanwhile though, I've been watching Dexter, and it's SO good. I'm on episode 2.07, but I should probably be caught up by tomorrow. LOL. As much as I like it though, the female characters are mostly annoying. Well, Lila and Rita are. Although I think it's more Julie Benz that annoys me about Rita, because I've never liked her, and I can't stand her voice. I probably wouldn't mind Rita if she was played by a different actress, but whatever. I quite like Deb though, I think.

Yes, another meme. LOL, I just can't resist them. Especially ones as easy as this. Basically it's just "list your iTunes top 25". I'm too lazy to do that, so I just made a screencap of it. As you can see, it's basically all David Cook, JoBros, and muscials:

( Click because it's bigCollapse )

And on a different music-related note, I downloaded Demi's CD, and...meh. The songs are kind of bland and unmemorable to me (I honestly can't recall how any of them sound), and I can't stand Demi's voice. I hate how it's all affected and breathy. And the duet with JB? I much preferred This Is Me. As a whole, this CD doesn't even come close to Breakout or A Little Bit Longer.

As for a CD I *am* looking forward to, I can't wait for David Cook's to come out. We get the first single "soon" (hopefully this week), and the album drops on November 18. I'm feeling very confident about it, because with Cookie writing all of his own songs, getting Rob Cavallo as a producer and seemingly almost complete creative control, not to mention having such an amazing voice, I would be shocked if he isn't successful.

So I've been trying to post something all week, but I never have the time, so this is just going to be quick and short right now. :)

I started college this week. :/ My classes seem okay (English, Philosophy, U.S. History, Music Appreciation, and hopefully Journalism, if I can get into it). Nothing really exciting at the moment, although there *is* a guy in my Phil class who totally looks like Mohinder. I'm getting more exercise than usual (as in, any at all) because I have to walk all the way across campus to the bus stop, and then from the closest bus stop to my house. It's not that bad now, although I probably will get sunburned eventually, but I better not have to do that in the winter. LOL.

As for my TV shows, Bones and Gossip Girl came back this week. I'm going to be making a separate post for most of my thoughts on GG, but let me just say here that I loved it. As for Bones? Ugh. I really am trying to like it. But now not only did they make Zach a killer and Booth really annoying, they broke up Angela and Hodgins?! All I have to say is that they BETTER get back together, otherwise I am going to be so pissed.

And this is really random, but I've really been on a Spring Awakening kick this last week, and I've been watching some YouTube videos, and I have to say that the FCC censoring rules really confuse me. I watched the medley the cast of Spring Awakening performed at the Tony's and I don't get why they would bleep "ass" and not "bitch". The latter seems to be more bad of a word. And then they replaced one of the lyrics in The Bitch of Living and I don't get why what they sang there is any less bad either. But whatever. LOL.

So expect more posts from me in the next day or so, as I still have to do my GG review, and I have some memes to finish.

So I did this meme a while back, but since then I've gotten lots of new friends, so I decided to redo it.

Let me just say that I love how cookie_simone and ibroketuesday basically have the same default icon. Boom!Sylar FTW. And Tookie for the win. LOL. That kind of makes me want to watch my S1 DVDs, from when Heroes was good. I really want Heroes to rebound in S3...but I dunno. I'm still annoyed about Maya's existance, especially since

( Cut for my rant with maybe spoilersCollapse )

Oh, and have y'all seen the character promo pictures for Heroes? They are so full of fail, it's hilarious. Last year's were good, because even though Mo had *sniff* short hair, it was at least still curly. IDK what is going on with his hair this year. and Zach's wasn't looking too good either. Or Adrian's. Or Milo's. Or basically anyone's. Except for maybe Mama Petrelli.

ETA: OH! And I forgot the other thing I was pissed about.
