Kirsty Gillan is corrupting your children with her slatternly ways.

Sorry if I can't take your review seriously, Simon Gaskell. It might've helped if you'd, you know, bothered to learn the actress' name. ...Just sayin'.

...A small part of me is enjoying watching conservative media and fans getting their panties in a massive twist over The Problem Of Amy. And kind of wondering if Moffat's some kind of metatextual genius and he put in the Shocking And Racy Scene knowing it would cause great scandal to make us examine our own reactions to it. He probably didn't. But you never know.

But Doctor Who's been a-rockin', even if Amy Pond has corrupted my innocence. And I guess that's good enough.

Maybe one day I'll just make my own TV show so I can have one go the way I want. It will feature penguins heavily.

It's been one year, three months, and six days since last I used my journal. "So," I thought, "I better come back with something massive and shiny to distract people from the fact that I've been so utterly AWOL." Well, I did no recaps, MST3Ks, obnoxious fangirling, or pointlessly in-depth analyses during 2009. I missed a whole year of fandom-related fandoming.

In light of that, allow me to distract you all from my long absence with a massive, shiny picspam of everything I wasn't recaping/squeeing about/pointlessly analyzing during 2009.

This is long and will hurt your dial-up.

So. I hope that distracted you all thoroughly. I'm gonna actually try to update every once in a while now.

Also I did most of the caps myself and it took forever to clean them up so if you want to use them for anything that's cool just please credit me thanks!

So I'm doing that picture recap thing again for Heroes, but that takes a long time and I needed to give a quick shout-out to whoever wrote this episode for remembering that Elle is a psychotic manipulative bitch. Honestly, my rp muse was getting seriously emo, and now it's BACK. Thank you, writer of this ep \o/ *goes to post at Landel's, 'cause hardcore Elle muse is back hardcore*

Also, Baby!Hiro wasn't as obnoxious as I thought it would be.

But more on Heroes when I get my butt in gear and give y'all pretty pictures.

Oh, and as soon as I have some time on my hands, expect a massive image-heavy post about my great undying love for PD and how much I hate ABC for ravishing and destroying the magic and beauty that was Wednesday night. Shhh, Bones moves around. Plus, there's nothing magical or beautiful about cooking corpses in airplane microwaves.

Too tired. And lazy. Coming up with something to say before the cut is hard. *dies and iz ded*

( Bones, HIMYM, and PD )

I haven't caught up on Dexter, but HIMYM, Heroes, Bones, and PD were all really awesome this week. Too bad PD's on the brink of cancellation and I've barely slept since Saturday. Urghlhf *headdesk*


And I really shouldn't rp on no sleep, because trying to write Brennan when I'm sleep deprived? Bad idea. Bad, bad idea. I make very dumb typos, which Brennan would not make, and of course I can't go back to edit and fix them. Like 2017 and 2006? That's an 11-year difference, not a 19-year difference. Go me \o/

No, I have not been on my personal lj in a whole week ;_;

Also no, I haven't posted my thoughts on any show but Heroes ;_;

Also also no, I haven't even started my Big God Damn Prompt Book for directing lab ;_;

Yes, I am going to stop complaining now and actually do all that stuff (except the BGDPB).

ETA: So this post isn't just me hating on a show... Heroes theories. ( spoilers )

Due to being insanely busy, I've gone a very long time without posting. So I'm making up for it with a Very Long Post Of Doom.

[Poll #1280866]

If you checked anything other than option C, "go to sleep," YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG >:[

A few nights ago, I did two of those things after 2AM. One was option A. I'll leave it up to the imagination what the other one was >.>;

Long story short, Ted Mosby was right when he said nothing good ever happens after 2AM. Especially fanfiction. 'Cause after 2AM is when the really crazy pairings come out to play. Oh, you thought I was into some weird pairings? You laughed at me when I mentioned Anya/Hallie and Debra/Batista?

Try Ned/Elle on for size. Oh yes. I went there. I went there, I distilled the thereness of there, and I put it here and here here. And it was weird.

I mean, honestly, these pairings came from me putting a bunch of characters through a randomizer, I didn't come up with them, but still... Weird.

In other news, I stumbled across a comm dedicated to Heroes personal canon, and there are a couple gems:

I also saw SNL's version of Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton's address, and their version of the Vice-Presidential Debates. They win SO HARD. I think Tina Fey is a better Sarah Palin than Sarah Palin.

Clinton: I believe that diplomacy should be the cornerstone of any foreign policy.
Palin: And I can see Russia from my house!

No, that's not my subject line. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

My new roommate snores. Like an avalanche descending upon an unheeding herd of elephants stampeding over a crowd of particularly loud lemmings, she snores. It is my tragedy that I am a painfully light sleeper, and thus am awake at 1:30 in the morning, when I had hoped to be asleep by 10.

But that allowed me to find, watch, and comment upon certain TV shows.

And of course I loved that Daphne called Hiro "Pikachu," as that's Eddie's nickname for Elle over at Landel's. And honestly... it suits her better. What with the... electricity. And all. Yeah, I had to look Pikachu up >.> How was I supposed to know he generated electricity?

Went to open auditions last night. Didn't get called back :(

I guess I should be used to it by now, or something, but it still sucks. Also, no internet in the apartment til Monday. Luckily, all my classes today are lectures so I can sit in the back and be online. Mwahaha >.>

I SUCK IN EVERY WAY.

Life decided to dump a lot of crap on me yesterday and I've been busy dealing with it, so I have not been able to do Challenge 3 or 4. Nor have I been posting for Rose (my only character besides Elle who's in play right now). FAIL IS ME!

At least Elle is bleeding in the brainpan now and therefore won't be moving ever again for the rest of NS.

Meanwhile, if you click on one link today it should be THIS LINK. Because it's an unwritten rule that when my ships have their first kiss, they must film a passionate kiss that expresses their deep abiding love, and then air a chopped up version that's mostly offscreen and in no way shows how Brennan's gum got into Booth's mouth. And seriously. A whole flotilla indeed ;)

ETA: ( Bones spoilers ahoy )

In Landel's news, I'm 87% certain that I'll be apping Brennan. And then everyone will be like "Dude! You're TRILLIAN'S SISTER!" And then she will be like "OMGWTF I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS o.O" I was mostly swayed away from Mrs. C by an icon I found of Brennan huddling over a happy face mug and looking sort of pathetic, and another of Brennan looking at something that was probably Booth taking his pants off. And I was like, "Mrs. C doesn't make faces like that. Also, I need another sociopathic seductress like I need to not finish eating this cheesy bagel that I can't get enough of right now."

And that's my story.

Why does Bones insist on hurting my brain?

My mood theme is really hypnotizing. But it's driving me crazy because I can't figure out which episode it's from. Anyone who tells me gets a cookie. I will actually bake you a cookie and mail it to you. That's a promise. You can trust me on this! *cheesy grin and waggling thumb* [/obscure Dr. Who quotes]

OH DEAR GOD.

Apparently I have a knack for picking out who's gonna hook up on my TV shows. I really need to write my crazy ship predictions down in large letters somewhere, 'cause I kept this one pretty much to myself ('cause I thought "Well, that's lame") but like a year and a half later they did it. Sometimes I really confuse myself.

Not that I'm unhappy, 'cause after a while other people started to think it was cool and I came out of my shipper closet a little and realized it really wasn't lame at all. I'm not sure how much I ship it, but I'm highly open to the notion.

Okay. I'll start with the writing in big letters now.

DEBRA/ANGEL

If that turns out to be false, THIS POST DID NOT HAPPEN.

Oh. And Bones was awesome too. While watching it, I had this whole big long rant about why FOX sucked in my mind, but the last three seconds of HIMYM totally made me forget it. But I'll probably post it tomorrow instead of going to class.

...WHAT? My professor doesn't speak English. How can he expect me to go to his class if he doesn't want to learn my language?

Yech. I can't wait until this week is over. Just three more days (no classes on Friday)!

( some TV stuff )

I, sadly, must depart for class very shortly, so... ciao.
