one more miracle

I have to make a reaction post, because this is the first time in a long time Supernatural has left me with hearts in my eyes. Episode 18, "Point of No Return", for future reference!

( 100 episodes of epic manpain )

(Maureen Ryan expressed everything I'm feeling with a lot more eloquence than I, so everyone should go read her post, because it makes a lot of good points.)

And since this is 100 EPISODES, I think I have to say something - so, Supernatural. Hi. We're old, old friends. I have had a more intense relationship with you than with most people in my life. You have made me believe in the power of love; you have ripped out my heart and stomped on it (IN THE BEST WAY); you have made me laugh til I peed myself; and you have betrayed me, many times over. You have veered from what made me love you in the first place, and I can't count the number of times I've said "Supernatural, I wish I knew how to quit you." But I didn't quit you, because you were such a core part of my life for TWO YEARS. You are by no means perfect, and I will never stop thinking of My Show as seasons 1 and 2, something entirely separate. But they were exquisite. And so are Jared and Jensen. Sam and Dean. Everything else aside, you have been pretty important to me. So a tip of the hat to you, Supernatural. I love you, even when you kind of suck.

I actually watched SPN live tonight! :D

( Spoilery reactions to SN 4x09 )

I finished watching SPN 4x01 about 15 minutes ago and ( Spoilers! BIG Spoilers! )

Today was better! My "disastrous" day at the lab yesterday turned out not to be so disastrous as I thought, and my analytical lab today was longlonglong and nonstop, but not difficult and I got quite good results. Hurrah! Cinema was fun enough (though way too short!) and I chatted with Prof Moss afterward about something I'd thought of during the discussion. He liked what I had to say :D Oh and hey guys, guess what? He was adorable! No wait that's not what I wanted to tell you. I totes Facebook-stalked him, and it turns out he's thirty and married! lololol. Man, I hate guys my age.

THE WEST WING CONTINUES TO BE THE BEST INVENTION EVER. Sam and Josh were so stupidly adorable in this episode Michelle and I just watched, I can't even HANDLE them. It's like they heard my complaining that the show never shows them as the buddies we know they are, from their past together! They heard and answered, and were TOTES ADORABLE NOMG. *goes to read moar fic*

Haiiii flist! *hugs you all*

I had a lovely relaxing day with Colin today. I spent the night last night and then we didnt emerge from his room until, um, 4 PM. Yeah. We watched Heroes when we woke up, and his VLC is set to repeat, so the episode replayed uh, 3 more times before we were, hmm, unoccupied. Haha, yeah. Anyway! Very relaxing day :)

I want to talk about TEEVEE! Surprise!

First, before I get to the squee, WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE WRITERS GUILD STRIKE???? Unless you are and I've missed it which is completely logical since I haven't been keeping up with most of my flist. But. This is BAD NEWS BEARS. It starts tomorrow, or something, and means that NO MORE TV will get written. Daily Show is going off the air, 24 won't have a complete season, etc etc. Colin said the last strike, in 1988, went on for 6 months and fucked a whole bunch of shows all to hell.

GAH. *panics a little* This is particularly bad news for BSG, but it's just bad all around, and I'm so nervous! Does anyone have any more information that might make me feel a bit better? I heard about it first from reading articles about Joss's new show, where he said it couldn't start getting written until after the strike. Gah! *flaaaail*

Okay, now we get to the squee, because you guys, TV IS AWESOME.

( Heroes 2x06 )

( Supernatural 3x05 Bedtime Stories )

( Stargate Atlantis 4x05 Travelers and 4x06 Tabula Rasa )

Colin watched SGA with me, and he really liked it a lot! \o/ I'm going to work on getting him started from the beginning, hurrah! He also hasn't seen BSG! He's a geek but a not quite fully accomplished one - he just doesn't ever get around to dedicating the time to it. I will fix that! :D

Colin has invited me to go watch a Trinity rugby match, in which his sister in law will be playing and where I will get to meet his VERY pregnant sister! I'm pretty excited, meeting the family and all :D Should be fun!

I spent my Friday night hanging out with the sci fi soc boys (yes, again) but this time we just stayed in their club room and watched Sunshine and Not Another Teen Movie and Shaun of the Dead. Sunshine was FABULOUS. A really awesome sci fi/horror movie. Yes, it really did become quite scary, but they did a good job of making you care about the characters quickly so it really hit hard. It was also beautifully made, with some of the best CGI work I've ever seen. I really liked it a lot.

Not Another Teen Movie is hilarious - what I find amusing though is that it makes fun of several movies that i absolutely love, and has the effect of making me want to see them RIGHT NOW. Ten things I hate about you! Bring it on! Two of my very favoritest movies, haha.

Putting on Shaun of the Dead was inspired, I think, by my tshirt - I was wearing my Threadless "What to do in a zombiepocalypse" tshirt, the one that tells you "she's not your mother anymore!" Hahaha. Of course there was a few minutes of everyone staring at my chest and trying to read the instructions, lmao. I love that shirt ;)

So I just realized that Resident Evil: Extinction is out here, OMG. I really really really want to see it! I have to think that some of the sci fi guys wanna see it too, but I feel kind of awkward calling. I wanted to call or text Colin seeing if he wanted to go, but I decided against texting because it's hard to say everything I want to say in a text - namely, asking if he liked the first two, asking if anybody else would want to go, and explaining that it's totally cool if he doesn't want to. You know, to make it clear that I'm not asking him out. Because I'm not! I just wanna see the movie, lol. The only other guys' numbers from the group I have are Conor (you know, the one from the club night, so, awkward) and Niall, who is out of town now. Meh. I'll figure it out!

Guys, SO MUCH TEEVEE. I downloaded and watched Supernatural, of course, because that's still top priority. I liked some things about the episode, but from reading other peoples' reactions, I was seeing that people loved the episode and then they'd have a line in their reaction about what they DIDN'T like ( Aw hell, spoilers. Warning - some possible squee harshing in here. )

As for other TV - I'm downloading SGA 4x03 and Pushing Daisies 1x02 right now, I have to download FNL 2x02 later, I already have the latest episodes of House and Heroes downloaded, as well as the pilot of Dirty Sexy Money because everyone and their sister is raving about it. So. Much. TV! *flails* And I should probably be studying at some point, meh.

Ahahahahaha. My roommate just changed the channel and went "Oh my god, it's Junior." and I was like huh? So she explained that it's a movie about Arnold Schwarzenegger HAVING A BABY. Like. PHYSICALLY BIRTHING A CHILD. THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT MPREG. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

And on that note, farewell <3
