one more miracle

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!

Oh my god HEROES!

( Eeee! )

My darling technosage is starting up a new ficathon, a Heroes Crossover Ficathon, and you should all go and sign up! She was telling me about her ideas for a Heroes/SGA crossover fic, and I am just so CHUFFED by the idea. Go! Play! Make pretty people from your favoritest shows meet our favoritest heroes! *beams*

I have arrived safely here at school after a four hour drive in the very hot sun! I'm chillin on the couch with Ryan, we've both got our laptops on our laps and we're watching Firefly. Woo! I feel awkward about crashing, so I called my landlord and I'm going to get my keys tomorrow, yaye. I'll have my very own apartment! I'm all growed up! Hee. Now I need to figure out the whole feeding myself thing...

La la la, work in the morning! o.O

I'm so proud of myself! I got out of bed at 9:30 (went to bed at 1 AM, BOOYAH!), showered and ate and whatnot, and went and applied for my passport! And now it's only 11 AM! I'm leaving in a little bit to meet my old high school friend Andrew for lunch and a movie, yay! And TOMORROW IS THURSDAY ALDFKJSDLFKJSLDFKJSLDFJK. *breathes*

WHEE!

I was just looking at some adorable pictures of the Heroes cast at the NBC upfronts (I ADORE Hayden and Jack Coleman and Greg Grunberg, omg) and this picture behind the cut made me squeal into my fists.

Because... Clairebear has two daddies! AND THEY'RE HOLDING HANDS! *dies*

( *flails with adorable* )

You can find many more HERE! How are they SO CUTE?

IT IS A GOOD DAY, KIDS.

Lemme tell you why.

1) I ROCKED my stat exam. On 5 hours of studying and 6 hours of sleep. I AM SO HAPPY YAY.
2) NO MORE EXAMS EEEE
3) Sophomore year is OVER. This means that I am HALFWAY DONE WITH COLLEGE. This is simultaneously terrifying and amazing!
4) I won Deanandsamlims!!! Eeee YAY! This is the first LIMS I've won (I got second place in firefly_lims last year) and it makes me happy! Whee!

So now I'm packing and watching the cast commentary for this week's Heroes on the NBC website. Sendhil and Greg are HILARIOUS (and also LOVE pretending they're gay for each other or other guys on the show) and I am crushing more and more on Mr. Bennett. Yeah I don't know either. HEE.

*squeakclaps with joy*
