it was the first time i ever really cried for a fictional character

2009-07-11T07:12:09Z

torchwood. *tear*

that is all for now.

I didn't wanna be spoiled!!!

2009-07-10T02:24:41Z

really? just...seriously? i can't even search youtube? i type in Torchwood Children of Earth Day Four and click sort by 'newest.' Some asshole has posted a major, epically huge spoiler in the title of his video. It hasn't even been 6 hours since it aired in the UK! I'm aware that i'm in a different country, and they get to know stuff first. i know to be wary of spoilers right now. hence, i stay off the fansites till someone uploads TW to youtube. But apparently even youtube can massively spoil you. But c'mon! you can't even vague it up a little bit? not so plainly state it? hell, there are probably people in the UK that still have it waiting for them on their TiVo's! It's just rude.

My mother is insane. like totally batshit crazy. and not in the fun supernatural fangirl way either.

She always calls me if she wants to know how late i'm staying some place. And i'm always pretty good at answering my phone. so tonight i go out, and i've checked my phone every hour or so because i know that i've been out a while. i figure that since i'm always out late with this group of friends, she assumes that i'm going to be out late. otherwise she would call, right? nope. i get home and she yells at me about how i should've called. she purposely didn't call me because she wanted me to call her. how am i supposed to know that. i cannot read her mind. if she wants me to call, i'll call. but how the hell am i expected to call when she never asked me too?

And you know what? I was all happy and chipper when I walked the the door. I had a really, really great day. It was a lot of fun. I went swimming in my friend's rich aunt's pool, then out to dinner, then to mini golf. I lost mini golf, but it was okay. i still had fun. plus i got a hole in one at the very last one. Overall, first really great day i've had in a while. Then my mom has to go and crap all over it. thanks so much.

Why is the CW so stupid?

2009-05-25T06:24:04Z

So i looked at all the extended promos for the CW pilots on YouTube. The Vampire Diaries looks like it might be good. Yeah, it's jumping on the Twilight bandwagon quite a bit, but i kinda miss that romance on my screen every week. Y'know what I mean, right? Those intense relationships between a human and a nonhuman like Buffy and Angel or Liz and Max. It might be good.

However the CW also decided to pick up The Beautiful Life and Melrose Place. Really? That soooo didn't need to happen. They already have Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill and 90210. How many nighttime soap operas do you need? Neither look particularly wonderful. If they have to take a show like that, couldn't it have at least been Lily? I mean at least that has the fun 80s twist.

Parental Discretion Advised actually looks...what's the word i'm looking for? Charming? Wonderful? Brilliant? Take your pick. It's about this girl finding her biological parents (and can i just say how weird it is to see Shiri Appleby (aka Liz on Roswell) to be playing a mom?), but it doesn't seem all sappy. It seems more like a dramedy. So the CW puts it on as the midseason replacement. WTF?

Bigger WTF? They didn't pick up Body Politic. Here you have a smart show about a bunch of young twentysomethings in Washington, DC with a kick ass cast. Seriously, you've got Minka Kelly from FNL as the lead, Jason Dohring from Veronica Mars, as well as Gabrielle Union and Jay Hernandez, who both have their fair share of movies on their resumes. Why would you throw that away? It doesn't fit thier "vision" for the CW? Yeah, if you're aiming for an audience of young girls, you wouldn't want to have a show with a smart young girl doing something with her life as the lead; no, you'd much rather have multiple shows that involve girls wearing skimpy clothing and getting into catfights over boys.

Seriously, this is why the CW isn't viewed as a good network. This is why the Emmys and most other big awards shows totally overlook the few good shows on the CW. Because the CW is just plain stupid.

OMG SPN FINALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-05-15T02:45:47Z

SUPERNATURAL!

omg Cas! he's risking his life for Dean. *tear* i love him.

YAY CHUCK APPEARANCE!

Ruby is a fucking evil whore. And they killed her together!!! what better way to bond? :D

DEAN! *hugs*

SAMMY! *hugs*

omg, was that a Disney Channel reference? Suite Life of Zach and Cas? Like Suite Life of Zach and Cody? or is that me just being young and watching this? why does Dean watch Disney channel? I think a lot of the writers have young kids. why is my most coherent thought about fucking disney?

AZAZEL! for a minute i forgot it was 1972 and i though the YED got out. I liked Fred Lehne better though. no one can do better than him.

BOBBY DIDN'T DIE!

meme, anyone?

2009-04-13T21:41:20Z

Got this from superduper88 . My character is Bela from Supernatural.

01. Do you like this character?

yes. i thought she was a fun addition. She had a tendency to make the boys look stupid, but i don't really mind them being outsmarted on occasion. After all, once things stop going wrong for the Winchesters, the show's over.

02. What names do you call this character?

Bela.

03. What image/color do you associate with this character
Color: Black. Image: silver porsche.

04. What image/song do you associate with this character?

Cold Hard Bitch - Jet

05. What bloody type do you think this character is?
AB positive? I don't know.

06. Of all the titles this character appears in, what character do you like to put this character with?
Dean, I guess. But only for that angry sex she mentioned in Red Sky. I don't want to see them in an actual relationship.

07. What would you want to say to this character?
You're pretty badass. Sorry so many other fans hate you.

08. What do you want to do with this character?
idk, rob some place? lol, she's good, so we wouldn't get caught. ;)

09. Please choose 5 friends with your choice of character

you want to do it, ask and i'll give you a character and show.

LEVERAGE!

2009-02-08T01:03:04Z

We got season 2!!!!! woot woot! and it sounds like we've got 16 episodes. :D

Satire (i need your help!!!)

2009-01-19T07:14:33Z

Alright, so for school i have the option of writing a satire. Since i'm already writing two of the standard style analysis papers, i felt like i should take this opportunity to do soemthing else (also, the three papers are due wednesday, and i feel like a satire would be easier to write). Problem is, i don't know what to satire. I mean, obviously there are things i can make fun of, but it needs to go on for two or three pages. So, what would you like me to mock for three pages? ideas? anyone? please?

Happy New Year!

2009-01-01T06:37:37Z

How am I ringing in the new year? with the christmas episode of doctor who. aren't i exciting? :P i'm currently waiting for it to download as i type (i was streaming it, and i left it to load while i watched Dick Clark with my mom, and half way through the episode, megavideo decided that i have to pay if i want to have the video up for more than three hours. assholes). I totally forgot about the christmas episode. I was reminded when I was watching Leverage and Hardison complained about how having to rewire two satellites slowed down his download of Doctor Who. Gotta love it. i hope you all have a happy and healthy new year!

Happy Holidays

2008-12-25T05:07:20Z

Merry Christmas! (or whatever else you might celebrate) :)

Spring Awakening!

2008-12-22T04:07:46Z

Yay! I can finally post about it! So for months I've been planning on seeing Spring Awakening on Broadway with my sister for christmas, but i couldn't say anything on LiveJournal because my sister reads my LJ. So I finally got to take her to New York to see it today and it was amazing!!!!!!!!!!! I loved it. I really can't understand why it's closing...well, actually i do. it's a play aimed at a younger crowd. this younger crowd doesn't have a lot of money to begin with, and with the economy in the toilet, this younger crowd really doesn't have any money. But luckily, we got to see it!

There were only a few problems i had with it. The first was that they made Wendla look about 10 and Melchior looks about 18 so i kinda felt like calling out statutory rape during the sex scene. BTW, that whole full frontal nudity thing? totally exaggerated. Wendla's shirt was open for about thirty seconds and Weeds shows more of Hunter Parrish's body that this did (which was kinda disappointing). The gay couple was random. They didn't really have a storyline, just one scene (granted, funny scene, but nonetheless, they were kinda just thrown in there).

But actually, I can't complain a lot. I had fun. After the show my sister and I visited the tree in Rockefeller Center (which came from our town. we used to pass it every day on our way to middle school.). Then we went in the NBC store (where I drew a line for just how obsessive i will be when it comes to Friday Night Lights. #33? awesome. Heart with wings? cute. "I Love Riggins." sure. Taylor Kitch's face? fine. All of it on one t-shirt? that's a bit much.)

Just one more thing. It's so freaking hard to find a Hunter Parrish fansite! How am i supposed to be a fangirl if i can't properly stalk him? ;)

Leverage

2008-12-11T03:47:45Z

So I watched Christian Kane's new show Leverage. I really didn't think i'd enjoy it that much, but it turned out to be pretty awesome. Made me laugh a whole lot more than I ever expected. More importantly, I am capable of not hating Aldis Hodge (he killed Sammy on SPN, and then he was just a douchebag football player on Friday Night Lights). I really like his character here. In fact, I really like all of the characters. Each has their own little quirks that make them fun.

Basic rundown of the show, they all used to be bad guys, but it turns out there's a lot of money in taking out bad guys too. So now they're playing for the good guys. They're using all their high tech knowledge and skill to takedown major corporations that are corrupt. It's fast paced and very entertaining. so yeah, i recommend it.

saw TWILIGHT!

2008-11-21T07:31:11Z

Midnight! Saw it! Loved it!

my fandoms collided and i'm pissed off about it...

2008-11-20T03:13:48Z

Tomorrow night, i go see Twilight at midnight. Tomorrow night, Supernatural has their midseason finale. SPN starts at 9. Everyone is going to start lining up for twilight at 9. What the fuck fandoms?!?!? More like what the fuck friends, actually. i don't understand why everyone wants to get there three hours early. It's ridiculous. Of course if i don't go with them, then i'm not guaranteed a seat with them because Brielle wants us to find people to switch tickets with so we can be in the theater with our friends. Personally, i say we all sneak into the little theater that isn't completely sold out (it's a 24 theater complex, the big 4 are all sold out completely) so that we don't have to be packed in there like sardines. but yeah, it looks like i'm going to be downloading SPN at 2:30 am when i get home.

in other news....SPN CON IN NEW JERSEY!!!! but it's by Creation, which is even more expensive than the other already expensive cons, who apparently aren't the most organized or nicest people. And it's about $500. $359 for a ticket, $60 for autograph, $70 for photo op. seriously? what's more ridiculous is that apparently this is cheaper than the other Creation Cons. *sigh* why is Eyecon in florida? those seem to be a lot cheaper....

Katie sees dead people...

2008-11-07T06:51:15Z

So have i mentioned my Roswell binge? I decided to get out my DVDs again (which makes this the third or fourth time i've watched the series straight through). Seriously, love that show. I miss the WB. I know that Supernatural is all cool for not being one of the WB scifi/fantasy shows that was campy with romance and girls and stuff (like Buffy, Angel, Charmed, Roswell), but i really do enjoy those shows. Back to my point. Roswell binge. I've ended up watching ER this season for Shiri Appleby (Liz), I'm in the middle of watching Skinwalkers with Jason Behr (Max) on YouTube, and I just finished an episode of Grey's Anatomy with Katherine Heigl (Isabel) (with a side of JDM). So yeah, binge (though i've been watching Grey's for quite a while now, but this post is mostly about Roswell and Grey's so i felt it was relevant to mention).

So I noticed some things about Katherine Heigl's characters on both shows...And i think that Dr. Isobel Stevens might just be Isabel Evans undercover hiding from FBI...

1. They share a name. Granted, different spelling, but still.

2. Pivotal moments happen when they are in strapless pink dresses with their hair up. Grey's: Izzie sees Denny dead. Roswell: Isabel finds the Granilith (the space ship home).

3. They talk to their dead exes. Yep. Tonight's episode of Grey's is the cause of this post. Izzie saw Denny throughout the entire night. Since I just finished the episodes after Alex's death where Isabel hallucinates him being there, i was immediately reminded of this.

so yeah, it's 2 in the morning and i was playing with paint. This, combined with my Roswell binge and watching the latest Grey's episode, is the result. hope you enjoyed it.

So I'm gonna fangirl over a different J...

2008-11-06T05:32:26Z

Usually it's Jensen. Or Jared. Or sometimes Jeff. However i'd like to take a moment to fangirl over a different J: Joss. As in Joss Whedon. As in THE Joss Whedon. As in God. :P I saw the new promo for Dollhouse, and i have to say, i'm in love.

And the Dead Prom Queen met Grandma Paramore...

2008-11-02T23:20:59Z

So Halloween was fun. Went out with my friends as a dead prom queen using a dress my mom bought in the mid-80s. Very Madonna-ish. So my friends and I knocked on this lady's door, and i guess we were the first group of teenagers that she saw. she's asking us if we know who the band Paramore is and we're like yeah, we love 'em. she then goes on to tell us that two of the boys are her grandsons and shows us a couple of photos and talks about the Twilight soundtrack. So that was pretty much awesome.

School note: Have i mentioned how much I hate writing an essay every week? because i do. i really do.

Smokin in the TARDIS

2008-10-30T01:59:55Z

Which do you want first? school or fandom (fandom being Doctor Who which has really vague spoilers that i would think most people have already seen by now especially if you live in the UK)?

Fandom: Tennant is leaving. :( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7698539.stm I get it, he has to. They need to change the doctor every few seasons. but it kinda makes me nervous that both the showrunner (Russell T. Davies), exec producer (Julie Gardner), and lead actor (David Tennant) are all leaving at once. I know that Steve Moffat is supposedly wonderful and all, but i can't help but be kinda wary of them all leaving at once.

bright side is, Davies and Garner can focus more on Torchwood. Judging from those convention pictures and reports, it's gonna be an awesome season. :D

Also, i apparently need to start reading Plastic!Winchester Theater again as apparently there is/was some type of storyline with Jo and the Doctor and that just sounds hilarious. ;)

School: So monday there was a fire. Not a drill. Not some kid pulling the fire alarm. Actual fire. Six fire trucks. An hour of standing outside. There was some type of fire in the boy's bathroom. no one knows what caused it. some people say a heater, some say kids were smoking. whatever. i just got nervous when they were telling teachers parked by woodshop to move their cars because that's where my locker is. I didn't want my cute jacket burned! (now had it just been a hoodie or something i would've been okay. but it was my cute, and expensive, jacket. so, i cared):P Not entirely sure why they needed six firetrucks though. it was contained in the bathroom.

Ugh. No did the reading for English. Except one person, no one read Ethan Frome. None of us have the time. Now I have to go memorize the abbreviations for 40 different elements (love the way Kingman tells us about this quiz 2 days before, as if i'll actually be able to memorize all 40 in two nights).

Why is Fandom so expensive?

2008-10-22T01:43:35Z

why must being a twilight fan be so expensive. ALL of the jewlery Amazon.com put up for sale is out of stock right now (it only went up in the last couple of days). Even the keychains are sold out! Aside from Edward's bracelet being over priced on it's own ($20 for a bracelet? seriously?), for all the Cullen family jewlery it's $100! And that, of course, is the only place where they are selling the ring. The ring! I love rings. It's kinda borderline obsessive. I must always have a ring on, always. I feel naked without one at this point. And how do i know if the ring they put in will fit? There is no sixe thing listed on there. Of course by the time I find out, they'll be sold out (only 3,000 were made).

I can't ask for it for christmas because i know my mom has already stated that my big gift will be the Doctor Who boxset...which is also absurdly expensive. It's twice the price of a regular boxset with half the episodes.

Why is fandom so goddamn expensive?

yay!

2008-10-10T00:55:07Z

so i got FNL to download! (thanks to kynikey ) and it was great! personally, i love Julie and Matt. She's grown up a lot over hiatus. Thank god. She was getting really bratty last year. Matt is growing up a little too much. I've always felt really bad for him. Idk why he was so reluctant to get emancipated though. It basically doesn't change anything. It's not like he wasn't the one raising himself to begin with.

Tyra needs to put some more clothing on. Tim should consider keeping his pants on (not that i'm complainin, but i think Lyla may end up having a problem with him sitting in his underwear on the couch with his ex-girlfriend eventually).

So we see how they're writing Smash off. That's cool (they kinda had to. he wasn't sticking around Dillon forever). But where's Street? Has he left Dillon? Didn't he have a knocked up girlfriend at the end of last year?

Oh, and Buddy Garrity is an asshole. I'm totally rooting for Tami. Maybe that's just because i don't like football.

Now I gotta go watch my Winchester boys. bye!

Supernatural and Friday Night Lights (hence the icon)...SPOILERS

2008-10-03T02:28:24Z

OMFG! KNEW IT! TOTALLY KNEW IT! okay, not totally, but i suspected it. it makes sense. i think Kripke is fucking brilliant. so wtf does he mean if dean doesn't, they will? no! no one is hurting sammy! so...i can't say much else because i'm finding it hard to string togehter coherent thoughts about this episode besides "FUCKING BRILLIANT!" so, if i happen to be a little more articulate later, i'll be sure to update.

so i decided to watch FNL *coughdownloadcough* instead of Smallville and must say, good choice. it kicked ass. not enough to keep me from coherent thought, but seriously, wonderful season opener. i haven't even heard a line from ~~peter pan~~ this new quarterback and already i hate him (i guess i'm supposed to though). although he is cute...but Riggs is still way sexier. ;) Speaking of Riggins, i was laughing my ass off during the strip club scene. "Lyla went to bed with Jesus and she woke up with you." Yay for Lyla and Tim. Nay for Landry and Tyra. Those two crazy kids need to get back together.

Grey's Anatomy season premiere

2008-09-27T03:10:21Z

yes, i said grey's anatomy. ok, so typically i don't write about grey's because it's more or less a show that I just watch. I watch, I am entertained for an hour, and then i leave Seattle Grace and go back to the real world. It isn't supernatural. Supernatural is a show that I watch, I am entertained, and I need more. I can't just leave it. I think about it. What's going to happen next? Are the boys gonna be okay? Would the writers ever kill Bobby off? But Grey's Anatomy? I take it for what it is and then I leave it. However there are a couple things i need to rant about...

The Good: I absolutely love Cristina and McMilitary (yes, I gave him a McName). He totally needs to stay at Seattle Grace because I feel like they need to have hot sex. Yup. I said it. It needed to be said. I like him a lot more than Burke. And Cristina needs a fucking life! All she does is listen to Mer whine and do doctor stuff (i'm tired. don't expect this too be eloquently written).

The Bad: Okay, I love Jeffery Dean Morgan. Love, love, love him. I mean how can i not? He's Denny! and he's John! and he's that sexy irish guy with the guitar in PS I Love You whose name may or may not be william (speaking of which, i need to get that on DVD, because that's a movie i could watch again)! So I should be all excited that Izzie had a little daydream about him. But I'm not. It was just so uneccessary. it really seemed like she was over Denny. I mean, no, she's not ever going to be really over Denny, but she was moving on with her life. There wasn't really a reason that they needed Jeff in there. But the writers did it because they like Jeff.

Cristina was impaled by an icicle? really? a fucking icicle? that's really pathetic. It seemed pretty OOC for the Chief to yell at Meredith like that. Speaking of her, I know that she always obsesses. She always talks about herself. But She was especially annoying tonight.

So yeah, just wanted to rant about that really quickly before i went to bed.

my thoughts on the premiere...(short version)

2008-09-19T02:48:55Z

there may be a long version in a couple of days, but for now this is what i can actually get out coherently:

ABS!!!!! and bicep! i have a feeling we're going to be seeing a lot more of the bicep. that makes me happy. (i was also happy that they remembered Dean's tattoo)

Pamela. Now there's a character that i like. She suggests a threesome with Sam & Dean ($20 says there's fanfic about that before next week), and then she feels Dean up. I like ballsy girls like that. She made me laugh, and i like that.

Kristy. KNEW IT! I knew she was gonna be Ruby. But more importantly, why was she in her underwear in Sam's motel room? hmm? Is sam gettin down and dirty with a freaking demon?

Ipod. Now i knew about the docking station. I loved that. And I was anticipating some emo Death Cab For Cutie or something. But no. Jason Manns! And Jensen's face of disgust just makes me laugh hysterically.

Castiel. I don't know about him. I don't know about this whole Angels and God thing. Didn't Kripke say he wasn't gonna go there? I don't like the way it looks like it's gonna be Sam vs. Dean. Not. Cool. But I need to know more before i make a decision.

so apparently i'm a ditz...

2008-09-02T03:43:04Z

tonight was the premiere of one tree hill! and weeds was on! and the hills! i'm a total ditz! i completely forgot it was monday! well, two out of three i can just catch in the constant reruns on all week. i can see oth online i guess.

so i'm gonna rant about promos to avoid homework...

2008-08-22T03:38:09Z

So my sister today complains about how there are no promos for heroes. I thought she was talking about commercials. turns out she meant photos. so i basically went on a rant that went something like this: "NBC isn't giving you promos yet? But they've given you countless commercials with new footage! You know how many commercials the CW has given Supernatural: None. You think you're waiting too long for Heroes promos? I'm still waiting for SPN promos from season 3!! we got three pictures of each of the new girls. But none of the boys. Oh, wait, there were those three pics of Jensen that were put out AFTER the season was over. Instead they decided 'Let's use pics from season 1 and 2 for that promoting thing that we don't do.' Don't complain to me about not getting promos. You don't know anything about not getting promos." Okay, so it wasn't quite like that...but that was the basic idea of it. and of course, like an hour later she gets her promo.

There is an article on the lack of promotion HERE if anyone is interested.

btw, anyone see the gag reel? hysterical!
