Like Shooting Stars

So here's things...


~ Have started a new book (well, started it last week, but that's neither here nor there). If you couldn't tell from the subject line, it's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. And I'm absolutely loving it! I'm not quite halfway through it yet (doing stuff for French class takes up a lot of free time). It was mostly the premise and cover that caught my attention since I've never read the original (not really a big Jane Austen fan), and I'm very satisfied by what I'm getting from it. The one downside is it makes me want to slaughter some zombies myself in L4D2, but I can't do that until Smurf gets a hold of all the stuff to upgrade Lord Danny so the game is actually...ya know...playable on him! Otherwise, the book is fantastic.


~ HOE-MG, how much do I love Gibbs and Tony?!?! Like for seriously, they are just amazing. It was that very Jack/Daniel familiarness about them that made me fall in love with the show to begin with and that's what we got in tonight's episode. *sigh* Such love for them, Tony/Ziva, and the show as a whole! Sad there's no new episode next week (but also glad that SYTYCD is over right now so I can watch the episodes when they premiere).


~ I really hope the NHL big wigs don't frell up and do what's right in the whole Burrows debacle that came out of last night's game. I'm not going to get into much detail about it here, but lets just say HOPEFULLY the bad ref calls that have been going on for some time now will be taken care of. Last night it was just beyond ridiculous. If anyone is interested on reading up on what I'm talking about, you can find three different posts about it HERE, HERE, and HERE. I'm taking the side of Burrows, of course. Biased as a Canucks fan aside, fans and those connected to the NHL all over have (for the most part) been siding the same. When even the broadcasters for the WINNING TEAM (b/c the Canucks did NOT win the game last night - mostly because of those BAD calls) say it was the worst refereed game they had seen, you know something hinky is going on. So the NHL is deciding on it now. We'll see how it goes.


Alrighty, I have a little bit of French work to get done. *sigh* Back to the school-time grind. ;P

P.S.: You know it's bad when I, with the house I live in, can't concentrate on what I'm trying to post because a roommate is being SO FUCKING LOUD! My door was already closed so I couldn't just slam my door or something like that. I had to put my headphones on and turn on music - ridiculous.

P.S. (squared): *points to song* SUCH a DV song! That is all.

I have the bestest friends around (in this case, over on the Twitterwebz!)...LOOK what I got in the mail yesterday:



That's right, dear flist. My great Twitter friends got me THE FARSCAPE COMPLETE BOXSET!!!


Again, bestest friends EVAR!

DAMN YOU AMERICA - YOU HAVE FAILED ME AND HAVE FAILED AT LIFE!!!



*pouts at the unfairness of it all*


This deserves the pony!

Okay, so here's my thoughts on Penance:

( BIG spoilers behind the cut...don't continue if you don't want it ruined... )


~Pip

Just a few things:


- Madre made it through the surgery very well. Smurf called me this morning after she was out, and then I talked to her myself right after Meridian was over (and wow, I bawled so much watching it this time...idk why). She will be able to go home tomorrow at noon, and then Smurf will hit the road and be on his way to pick me up. Found out that Hook is coming with him to help ease up the burden of the long drive - JOY! All I can say is thank GODS for Remmie! *pets perfect little iPod of awesomepops*


- SYTYCD tonight COMPLETELY baffled me! HOW did they BOTH make it into the top 6?!?! There is NO way Ryan was better than Legacy. People who voted just bought into Ryan and Ashley's sympathy story and voted for them OVER the BETTER dancers! *breathes* Doesn't matter anyways - JAKOB will be winning it. When he dances, it's beauty and perfection all rolled into one. I have elected him to be my gay husband.


- HOME tomorrow...or rather, Friday. Which means it'll be cutting close for setting up the VCR for Sanctuary that night. As always...b/c I'm always rushing home for the holidays/breaks to watch some something or other that is premiering that Shanks is in. Over the summer, it was Living Out Loud. Last christmas break, it was Lost Treasure of the Grand Canyon. *snirk*


Alrighty, that's all I've got for now. Today has been pretty uneventful - surprising for finals week.


~Pip

So I've been watching a lot of youtubez lately - more so now than before because of ShanksSaturday, ShmexaSunday, MitchellMonday, and MalDoranMonday over on the Twitterwebz. I make sure to check my 'Recommended For You' section a few times a day for new vids to post for those days...well, I've also been searching out a lot of my favorite stuff (from shows and such)...So now I come with a massive video spam of random things that I think many of you will enjoy seeing or rewatching:


( Yaaay vidz! )


So yeah, mixed back of tricks here...not much Michael (other than the Andromeda stuff) b/c I believe we've all watched much of it already *snirk*. Anywho, hope you enjoyed at least one of the vids...


~Pip

Just now have seen the two new pics coming out of 'Penance.'


*rises up off the floor* Is it December 11th yet?!?!?!



That is all.


~Pip

First off, I'M HOME!!!! XD XD XD Got home last night. The only downside was I had about 10 minutes left of Star Trek to watch on Remmie - I literally turned it off right after Scotty said 'I'm giving it all she's got, Captain.' Might finish that off tonight after I put Lord Danny down for sleep.


It's fun (and equally annoying) being back in Kitteh Central. And the number of cats allowed in my room at night for sleep has now been upped to two. William is now in here with Sikozu and myself. Sikozu has pulled rank and is on the lap...but William seems to like sitting on top of the tv. He was watching Glee from up there tonight.


Speaking of Glee, HOE-MG did I cry!!! It was absolutely one of the most beautiful moments of the entire show so far having our glee kids singing with the hearing impaired group. And then them doing True Colors (which I have already DLed, of course)at the end had me tearing up again. My GOD, I love this show!!


Picked up the latest issue of TV Guide today. HELLO, HAWKMAN. XD Also, since I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere yet (which might just be me being unobservant), Michael is mentioned in the section where they talk about upcoming Sanctuary eps -

( Excerpt cut for spoilers )

- This is on p.32, in the Winter Sci-Fi Preview section.


Alrighty, I think that's it for now. I'm looking forward to tomorrow - not just because it's Turkey Day and I've been DREAMING of this meal for months now, but also because the Canucks play and I may/might/hopefully PLEASE will get to watch it on the living room TV!! XD


~Pip

So, here's how things have been going:

~ STAR TREK!! I HAZ IT!!!! XD XD XD


~ HOE-MG, I have never loved a super hero more in my LIFE. For serious wowsers.


~ What made my day: Guy working at a kiosk in the mall was listening to Defying Gravity from Glee on his laptop as we walked by. HOE-MG, you are my new favorite gay man, random kiosk dude! XD


~ I sparkled like Vampire today. Tested out the 'products' available in Hot Topic..which included body shimmer and glittering scented body mist (OF COURSE they have these - all the twitards would go batshit wonko over being able to SPARKLE like vampire). Now I'm a big fan of glitter. Have loved it long before 'sparkling' adopted such a negative connotation. And the stuff (at least the body shimmer - the scented crap smelled so disgustingly sickeningly sweet. See what they did there??) did give a nice shimmer effect. BUT NOT FOR $18.50. Holy fucking brain failure, batman Hawkman! (Oh yes, I went there. No other super hero exists anymore. See, this is what him playing these parts does. *nods*). You can get body shimmer in the bargain bins at Walmart for like $1. Twitards are crazy insane...

...And on the same Hot Topic note, WHY do the guys get all the COOL shirts?!? Angry Beavers, Reptar, Ahhh! Real Monsters? What do the girls get?? A Jennifer's Body shirt and TWILIGHT. Fail...epic, epic fail.


~ Saw the most beautiful cat today in the pet store by Best Buy. He was so sweet and loveable. His name was Donte, and the adoption fee was....wait for it...$25. O.o Dammit, if I didn't like in a dorm! He would sooo be home with me now. Such an adorkable little cat.


~ Finally got to work on my assignment for the dv_exchange . I was worried about the prompts speaking to me and running out of time, but I got a good portion worked on last night. Feeling a little better about it now.


~ 5 DAYS UNTIL I GO HOME!!!!!


~Pip

P.S. - In Canucks withdrawal. The last game was played on Saturday (and they KICKED ASS). The next one isn't until Friday night (which means I'll be missing the Back to the Future triple feature at the SLC). Five days is a long stretch in hockey time and it SUCKS. And, to make it worse, was looking at some hockey magazines today and they had full page pics of some of my fav players. But I couldn't justify paying $8 for a magazine JUST for one pic. *sigh*

P.S. (squared) - NOOOOOO, NOT THE EGGOS! WHHHHHHHYCOME?! *wails*

LOOKIE, LOOKIE, LOOKIE:
