*SNIFF*

I would be lying if I said I was feeling JUST a little sad.... I'm pretty sad (nothing compared to the SG-1 finale - that was heartbreaking) because well...this was ER!


This show has been on since I was FIVE - it's been showing for as long as I could remember. I've watched it longer than I've watched SG-1 - I loved it even before I became a LOtR fan. And now it's just...done. It's a little unbelievable. I don't know when it will set it that it's over. I was just sitting watching going "This can't be it! It doesn't FEEL like this is it!"...


But alas, it was it...let me just mention my favorite parts:

The best hospital show has gone out with a bang - now I'll have to start getting the seasons on DVD. Probably starting with this, one - for the finale, if nothing else!

So I've been meaning to do a nice little update all week - and haven't gotten around to it until now. I know there's a few things I want to touch on, but I have no idea how long this posting oomph will last (because I want to work on some fic as well)...


Hmmmm, what to start with...


I guess we can start with the reading situation. I finished Breaking Dawn last Friday evening - absolutely loved it. I know I'll definitely be reading that one again - probably even before I even consider picking up the other three books again (okie donkie, Twilight is definitely a very tempting book to re-read!). But that won't be happening until I get through all the other books I need to read (I really shouldn't have gone out and bought the Twilight Saga and read it all...i know that, but it was too good and i'm glad I did it!), and not until after I reread Lord of the Rings because it's really been too frelling long since I read those.


Currently, I am reading Anne Boleyn: A New Life of England's Tragic Queen. It's a historical account/biography on Anne. I'm very much enjoying it - the way it's written is quite good. It is a history book, but it reads a lot like a novel in some sense. Maybe it has to do with the subject matter, which is quite dramatic and outstanding in it's truth. I find it fun to read what actually happened in history and compare it to how the creators of The Tudors interpreted that information. It gets the mind going seeing how they twisted certain character's storylines - I especially love the twist with Margaret and Brandon on the show compared to the actual historical account. It's really making me want to rewatch both seasons of the Tudors even more (though I've decided I want to try and hold off on it until S.2 comes out on DVD. That happens 12/30. It'll definitely be a test of my will power!). Following this, I'm gonna read a book on Elizabeth I. Then it'll be back to my reading list still left from the summer.


So two of my shows returned this week - NCIS and ER. Of course I've been watching NCIS regularly for about 2 seasons now, and ER is pretty much a fandom I stick to in syndication. It's not a show I find easy to keep up with while it's in it's current season. But seeing as this is the LAST season of ER (which is just unbelievable), I felt I needed to watch it all. ESPECIALLY considering Carter will be back for 4 eps, and apparently Anthony Edwards is making an appearence (do NOT know how they're gonna pull THAT off!). Anywho, my thoughts on this week's eps for both:
 



Moving from tv to movies, there is a movie I saw on Tuesday (which is why I missed NCIS premiere) that is just mind blowing! It's called The Fall, and if you haven't seen it, you absolutely HAVE TO! I won't give away too much about (though the trailer below does tell a lot of the story), but just the visual awesomeness and the tenderness of the story itself is all breathtaking! It was filmed over a period of 4 years in 18 different countries... yeah, big scale, epic stuff. I went out and got it at Best Buy on DVD Wednesday because I loved it so much. I'll probably end up watching it again this weekend...it has become one of my favorite movies. I highly recommend it!

Here's the trailer:



I think that's about it for now... I do have a few random things I want to touch on though:


WHY does facebook have to cut me off from sending specific people flair when I find the PERFECT one to send them when flair!spamming?!?!?


Today was the first time, since the night it premiered, that I watched Unending all the way through again. Of course i've watched THAT SCENE more times then I can count, and various other parts (the most important DV parts) as well, but I hadn't sat down and consciously watched the full episode since the night SG-1 aired it's last new episode. Yeah, I cried just like that night. *sigh* Nothing will ever be as awesome as SG-1 was and still is....nothing!


I had TWO Venti Iced Chai today - *shakes head* I swear, the stuff is like CRACK - I am so addicted to it (though I think it's to make up for the fact that I didn't get any for two days b/c the Starbucks on campus was OUT of Chai)!


For everyone living under a rock, Daniel is on SGA tonight!!! I'm mucho excited - it's been a long time since I've been excited for an episode of Stargate (not since the night Unending aired, of course!) and it's fun to be bouncy like this again!


Now I think that's all!

Thank [profile] taraleesg1 for that subject line - it was her beginning marathoning that gave me the idea...


There's a couple of things i need to post on...


Starting with an update on my reading, because YES, I have been keeping up with it...actually, it's very likely I will finish the book up tonight...but I wanted to post on my progress now so i have some sense of keeping a half-assed detailed account of my reading: 

 


Moving on, guess I should talk about the big 'drama' of the past couple of days. Ted was in the hospital. It wasn't anything MAJOR MAJOR, but it was something pretty...not mundane... Something had bit him in the elbow or some such thing, so his arm was really swollen and wasn't getting better for days (friday was the day it first started swelling)... Monday he went to the VA, and the doc that saw him immediately sent him to the ER. They got to him right away (which makes me think it was pretty intense, but the way everyone talked about it really played it down a lot...plus i'm trying not to dwell on how many times I've been to the hospital in the past three days *shudders*), and they kept him over night Monday night and last night.... gave him antibiotics cause his arm was infected, and today drained his elbow. He's home now, which is...well, yeah...


I am being a might bit selfish though because if he had stayed in the hospital again tonight, there was a chance I'd get to see Indy tonight at midnight. But since he came home, that's now out of the question. Which means, unless I can really kiss ass tomorrow, I'm gonna have to wait until Sunday to see it. I definitely don't approve of this at all, but I know when and when not to push buttons, and right now is a not time. 


Anywho, watch my two shows.....both of which were amazing. I won't make a cut for the Tudors...but let me just say that the stuff with Henry and Anne this episode was INTENSE!!! OMG, this show...i swear it just keeps getting better and better!!


As for NCIS - well, i'll be kind and put it behind a cut.  


Okie donkie, I think that's about it for now. Now I will go get ready for bed, and then finish off Memoirs of a Geisha!

Before I forget, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO [livejournal.com profile] belisse!!!!! I would've made you a nice kind of present of some sort, but...i honestly didn't know what to make... *unsure shrug* But i do send birthday wishes!! XD



I have some other random thoughts to post on, so bare (or would it be bear? *snort*) with me as my thoughts jump from place to place...



How many Tudors fans do I have on my flist? I know of ONE sure one... I got her into the show, so I KNOW she's definitely a fan. For which I am very grateful, since I need SOMEONE to discuss characters, plot points, and theories with. ANYWHO, for anyone who is, did EP.7 make you cry?!?!?!?! I know EP.5 (both of these S.2, of course!) had me in tears, but 7 was just....POOR HENRY!!! Just the way he took it...it was SOOOOO SAD. And ANNE - OMG! I feel so bad for her too! She's going mental, and there doesn't seem to be anyone to help her!


Onto other shows....OMFG, NCIS! For those avoiding speculations and spoilers... )


Irked b/c Indy tickets for my area aren't available yet! Is it just b/c I live in a bass-ackwards state that is always behind in everything, or do no theaters have tickets available?? I'm really hoping there will be a midnight showing for it!! I'm so damn excited for this movie!!!! It'll be my first Indy in theaters!!! *dances i anticipation*


During the whole money crisis during the last few weeks of school, my Chicago Con Fund (that being the saved up change portion) took a big hit. After recalculating the amount today, it's at $33.67 ... and that's AFTER adding in all the change I've picked up since coming home. As depressing as that number is compared to the last time I did the figuring on it, I'm glad i still have change LEFT to make a decent 'fund' from. And it's still a promising amount considering I have until August 22nd to put stuffs into it!


I swear, when at the con, I'm gonna tell Ben that my cats just don't seem to like him...They pulled the head off my Mitchell doll, and out of all the possible faces to scratch on the Men of SG-1 poster from the mag several issues back, they're destroying the Mitchell one. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that one of my cats is named Sikozu?? IDK - but i find it amusing...not in the sense that my SG-1 stuffs is being DESTROYED by the little heathens, but just - it's ONLY the Cam stuff!


Anywho, i think that's about it for now. I know there was something else I WANTED to mention, but right now it escapes me...

*points to icon* Using this one in honor of the txt commentary had today while [livejournal.com profile] taraleesg1 took part in watching AOT again. XD


Just have a few things to post about...


Finally got to see Ep.6 of the Tudors - Made of win, of course! Henry is amazing! He will forever be my favorite character. Brandon is a very close second and behind a cut to avoid spoiling anyone )


Watched NCIS after that, since I missed it on Tuesday (only because my bathroom needed a good deep cleaning after THAT MAN lived in it for over a year and DIDN'T clean it once. JIM is GONE, btw!). And the only revision to the earlier post is i'm not so confident now in one of the character's 'staying' power... But despite that, LOVED LOVED LOVED the Tony/Ziva UST through out the whole episode! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!


Friendathon fic still an issue, but i'm getting help on that right now! If anyone else has any suggestions of their own for Daniel/Cam frienship piece with the prompt 'learning curve', just drop a comment. I'd really like several different 'thoughts' to work from. XD


The Michael vid - haven't had a chance to work on it since Monday, but will definitely dive back into THAT either tomorrow night or Saturday while in the box (definitely Saturday while in the box!) - There will be an available viewing of it (flist only, undownloadable, of course) when it's finished for feedback. So far, Madre likes what I have. Of course having actually FANDOM peeps check it out would produce more knowledgable feedback in the content used....


Crap, I thik i'm getting sick. I felt like shit all day yesterday (i ended up having to work 8-4 on a register b/c James is a dick and scheduled me then), so when I got home, I laid down. Slept until Madre got home from work, hung out with her for a little bit, then came up and went BACK to sleep. I felt better today (less BLEH), but my throat is still hurting, and now my nose is starting to stop up and I'm starting to cough.


OH, also, i ended up getting a HIGHER check than i planned, so I gave Madre $60, put $80 in the savings toward CHICAGO, and had a little left over to last me until next wednesday. And I should be getting another check like this because now I'll have four days this week instead of three since James had me working yesterday (so as much as working yesterday totally sucked balls, i got more hours so it'll be good in the long run).


And I think that's it for now - I need to get to bed soon, and try to keep this sicklyness at bay!

I had calmed down about this since Tuesday, but since I just told [livejournal.com profile] taraleesg1 and we've been discussing it, I'm freaking out about it again...


For anyone on my flist who is an NCIS junkie fan like myself, and don't know...


Put behind a cut b/c though there's no SPECIFIC person known yet, it is spoilery... )

I might do as [livejournal.com profile] taraleesg1 says, and give up on tv!
