one more miracle

Stolen from sorchasilver, a TV meme!

Pick your five favorite TV shows (in no particular order) and answer the following questions. Don't cheat!

1. Supernatural
2. Friday Night Lights
3. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
4. Bones
5. Firefly

(This is kind of a "now" skewed list - I love far too many TV shows!)

( The questions! )

I do so love TV! I'm in the process of deciding what to watch next. I feel SO BEREFT without any more Bones or Big Bang Theory to watch! I finished both in the same night, after months of devouring them together. It's strange - they're completely different shows, but my emotional focal point for both is the same. An oddly matched pair (a geek meets a sexy yet semi-awkward cool person) that is obviously magnetically attracted yet cannot seem to acknowledge it themselves. Both do a sort of yo-yo of requited and not. And it's VERY FRUSTRATING. But I love them both so much. (OMG PENNY GROW A SPINE!!!!!!!!)

I am going to continue with Freaks & Geeks, because it is all kinds of charming, but I need something else as well. Generation Kill? True Blood? Legend of the Seeker? How I Met Your Mother? Help, o wise and all-knowing flist! Tell me about characters I will love (without spoilers!), because that is my key to loving any show.

In other, sad TV news, Stargate: 90210 is made of a million kinds of fail. At this point, I'm wondering how the fuck these people ever gave us Atlantis. SGA was not close to perfect, but it was deeply charming and showed real heart sometimes. I'm wondering if that was truly a result of the cast and its glorious chemistry, because I'm seeing none of that in the SGU bits we've gotten. UGHHHHHH.

In other happier news, I'm LOVING Naomi Novik's His Majesty's Dragon. LOVE!!!!!! Will Laurence, come here and be my empathetic, elegant boyfriend right now!! I fell in love with him within two pages and he has only endeared himself to me further. It's fascinating living inside his head because he is such a product of his time, but lacks any sort of malice in his prejudices. For instance, when he's shocked and appalled by a female dragonrider wearing men's clothing, and muses that riding dragons must be very trying on her slight frame, he's not repugnant, simply a fascinating example of the mindset of that time. He has no hostility towards her, merely surprise and curiosity. I love himmmmmm somuch! And Temeraire, oh Temeraire! *draws a lot of hearts*

Now I'm going to watch last week's Leverage, which I somehow forgot about!

Meme snagged from fragglebo:

What five character deaths affected you the most? (SPOILERS for Serenity, HP 5, BtVS S2, SPN S2, and BSG S3)

( Get out the tissues. )

I FINISHED FARSCAPE! :O I did a mini marathon last night, plowing through the end of S4, then Brad drove down and we watched the miniseries this morning/afternoon. It was amazing! I oddly don't have that much to say, but... I loved it. It was satisfying, fun, exhilarating, unpredictable, and all around one hell of a ride. John and Aeryn are so in love it makes me ache, and everyone is just so wonderful *squishes them all*

Brad is the adorable gay guy that I have mentioned before, and want to know what's AWESOME? He's a SLASHER! Hahaha! Specifically of Braca/Scorpius, which is HILARIOUS. He said things like "Braca was totally jealous when Scorpius and Sikozu were doing their thing" and "Look who's saving Braca now!" and many other things and oh man. I almost broke something laughing. FANTASTIC.

So, um. That's that! It was amazing, and I'm so glad I experienced it. Thank you to everyone who forced me to watch it :)

I finished Buffy season 3 with Meg tonight.

( Spoilers, I guess? Though if you haven't seen this show, YOU FAIL. Get on top of that. )

Can you tell I want Joss to have all my babies?

ETA: LOOK AT THE ICON CASSI MADE ME! NO JUST LOOK! *swoons* SO PRETTY. Thank you Cassibean! *huggles endlessly*

Today's been a mindnumbingly boring day at work. Although I did receive three packages, with different things I'd ordered for the next experiment I'm trying, so that was cool. One of them came in dried ice, so I got to dump it in the sink and pour water on it and play with the mist! \o/

Comment in echoicons to this post with my username and I will get an icon as a reward!

Pretty please? :D

I got the max number of comments - thanks guys!

Tonight I get to watch more of Buffy S3 (Bad Girls is up soon, SCORE) and possibly Velvet Goldmine with Meg! Yay! It's been altogether too long since I've seen that movie. Like, 3 MONTHS! *gasp* Absolutely uncool. So. That will be fun! :)

Gosh I love this icon.

And gosh I have nothing to say. Shutting up now!

*FLAIL*

YAY.

Look look!!



*Does a happy dance* I submitted this vid to Zeppo Awards, a Buffyverse vid awards site, not expecting anything at all, and I get best vid runner up! *squees* That makes me so happy. And isn't the banner gorgeous?

Here's the rest of the winners if anyone wants to see: http://www.messyjessie.net/zeppo/Main.html

yay :)

On a side note, I never ever tire of this Faith icon. It's happy, but it also has an undercurrent of darkness (from the text) that is so Faith, and the colors are effing gorgeous. *hearts it so much*
