"Aliens in a Spaceship" - Bones
I absolutely loved this episode and have no shame in saying that I've probably watched it more than 10 times (as I have with most of Buffy, but that goes without saying)
Brennan and Hodgins are captured by the Gravedigger (serial killer who buries people alive, asks for ransom and if it's not paid, she doesn't give you the coordinates and the person/people suffocate to death) while working on another Gravedigger case. They are buried alive in Brennan's car.
So much tension at work here. Hodgins loves Angela and hasn't told her. Booth most assuredly loves Brennan and hasn't told her. And two of the scientists working the case are buried underground and are unable to access all the things they would need to solve the case. Of course, they're brilliant and use whatever is in the car to help themselves and, as always, the case is solved and they're found
It's strange to think back on this episode, because the whole Gravedigger plot just recently got tied up two episodes ago in Season 5 when they brought the suspect to trial and (thankfully) convicted her. The first time we even heard of the Gravedigger was in Season 2, so it's been a long time coming
Regardless, great episode
I might go watch it now

My sweatshirt arrived on Friday. Unfortunately, I got back a little too late on Friday to pick it up from the Prime Housing office.
And then they were closed on Saturday
and Sunday
and it's Memorial Day today, so obviously, closed again
I just want my fucking sweatshirt!
In other news, Doctor Who. Okay, guys. That was mean. Did I see it coming? No. I actually didn't. I mean, two seconds before he bit it, of course I realized what was just about to happen, but for goodness sake! And THEN with the whole crack in the wall and the light and the forgetting and the Doctor looking so damn sad.
Mean
To top that all off, I heard some odd rumors about what's going to happen and how this is all going to get tied up (because Rory dying isn't over, apparently). I really hope whoever posted those spoilers is just an idiot who enjoys taunting people, because it's ridiculous what they plan on doing
***If you don't want to know - SKIP THIS PART***
What I heard is that some alien race of some sort is going to take a copy of Rory from Amy's brain, make a duplicate and set him after the Doctor and Amy to spy on them. He's just like Rory, down to the last detail, but he has occasional bouts of evilness and randomly kills people. So, he'll be walking along, talking to the Doctor like normal and then suddenly, he switches and goes evil for a few seconds and then switches back.
All of this is supposed to lead him and Amy to the alter to get married
What. The. Fuck.
Just leave him dead, guys. Let this be just another thing on the Doctor's conscience. Or do something better!
In other OTHER news, The Phantom of the Opera was quite fun. I've seen the Phantom perform before, but last time I saw him, he was Raoul. The program says he holds the record for playing Raoul for the longest period of time - for the greatest amount of shows. Good job, buddy. I mean, this guy was quite amazing. And I imagine years and year of playing second fiddle to the Phantom (not that Raoul isn't a commendable role) gave this actors LOADS of ideas (the classic "I could do that better"). AND, Rachel told me that there was a write-up in the paper about him. He had to train really hard for the Phantom because, I do believe Raoul is a baritone and the Phantom is a tenor and this actor is a baritone (I think?). Regardless, hours and hours of training to sound as gorgeous as he did
Way to go, kiddo!
Rachel and I were discussing his acting choices, as well, and some of them were just amazing. I think he's probably the best Phantom I've seen, though it's kinda hard to remember the other ones. They're spaced out over a long period of time
Our Christine was definitely trained as a singer before an actress, but she was fine. I remember Sam saying once that it was really hard for her to find any kind of soprano she liked. I guess I just hadn't given it a ton of thought until she said that and I noticed that it is REALLY hard to find sopranos that don't make you wince. This Christine was no different, but at least she's in good company with the rest of the Christines that will just never quite be good enough
Every performance has it's mistakes, too, and I'm glad to report that the worst one of those was Christine slipping banana-peel-on-the-floor style when she went running to Raoul's side. He was on the floor to begin with, so I wasn't quite sure if she fell or if she was just fainting in character again. Rachel said she saw her foot come up, though, so it was a fall. But damn, I can't blame the poor girl. Some of the shit they make her wear - long and billowy and satin-y as it is - I'd be slipping everywhere
All in all, it was a good run of it. That show will always have a special place in my heart as it was the first musical I ever heard or saw.
A bit of that love is dimmed out by the fact that stupid stupid STUPID Andrew Lloyd Webber had to go and ruin all of it by making a sequel because he had cancer and chemo must have made him loopy...but, you know...
whatever
I need to take one large sleeping pill and sleep. I only got about 4 hours last night. Tossing and turning. It's gross and I feel nauseous
Happy Memorial Day
*heave*

Day 11 - A show that disappointed you
Dexter
There are many things that recommended me to this show. Serial killer, for one (I find them terribly fascinating) - reformed serial killer, to top that. Investigating murders. Attractive man
But, I started watching it earlier last year and couldn't get into it. I tried pressing through the episodes, waiting for the "click" that always comes with a new show obsession, but 5 episodes in, I realized I was pressing myself through EVERY episode and it was never going to "click."
Gave it another chance when Sean started to watch it. Figured maybe it was a 'Bones' situation and it just wasn't the right time to get hooked. Again, I was bored and semi-annoyed at most of the main characters
Maybe if I watched a few episodes, I could point out what I find wrong with it, but for now, it will remain that show that disappointed me without any justification
***
I'm not really sure which is worse:
falling asleep in your bed for an entire night in a hot room, sleeping for 8 hours and waking up sweaty and gross
or
falling asleep in 30 minute increments on the couch in front of the AC, but never quite getting to sleep properly.
In other news, I must have left the lights on in my car or forgot to unplug the iPod thingy that charged my iPod (though, I'm not sure that could drain a whole battery), because my car is dead dead dead. I realized this when I went out to get a juicy burger and some french onion soup. Yeah. That didn't happen. I did order Wing Zone, though, and had some fantastic wings and potato wedges
I have come to the conclusion that Kraft and Hidden Valley are holding out on us. Does anyone wonder why restaurant Ranch is always better (or, at least I think so)? If you want Ranch, you go out and buy it at the store, but they all taste the same and they NEVER taste like the stuff you get with wings or pizza or anything else. Where do I buy restaurant Ranch? Where do I get this glorious dipping sauce? Wings dipped in Ranch are pure gold, but if you ever try to dip them in Hidden Valley's, the taste is ruined forever and nothing is right
*sigh*
Passing through Phillips and into the hallway that leads to the caf gave me one of the oddest feelings. I was carrying my messenger bag and a notebook and had the distinct feeling like I should be going to rehearsal. I almost turned into the stairwell before I remembered that I had gone there to play piano, not direct a play.
Evil
It's almost 6:30am and I'm not really sure what to do. I've been sleeping on and off all day long, which is probably why I could only sleep in 30 minute increments, but I feel so tired. Perhaps I should turn off the damn TV and just go to bed
Yep. Sounds like a plan to me

Day 10 - A show you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving
Bones
To tell the honest truth, I remember tuning in for the pilot episode. I had watched David Boreanaz for so long on Buffy and Angel and would not have missed his new show for the world
And I watched a good 20 minutes of the pilot and changed the channel
Wrote it off as just another one of those crime shows
Then, a few years later, Katie Oz and/or Christine were watching it and I think it was Christine that let me and Emily borrow the first two seasons
Needless to say, we watched both of those in literally a week
And now I'm hooked
***
I drank SO MUCH ALCOHOL last night
It didn't feel like that much when I was drinking it, but you got me sitting in a bar, chatting and having fun (for the first time in WEEKS)...I'm not going to remember that the body has limits
I have the vague memory of sitting outside Jimmy Johns and a lady who was clearly of Asian origin (where, I don't know) came and started talking to me. She said that she wasn't originally from East Lansing and I thought, "Yeah. No shit" and I asked her where she was from. Oregon, she said. I asked what she was doing in Michigan. She said she didn't know and didn't have a place to live. Thankfully, Ben and Sean came out as the conversation started to take an odd turn as she asked where I was living and if I could show her.
Help
Feeling fine as we went to Sean's apartment, but then I sat down and...yeah, not so good. Apparently, I passed out on Sean's couch for a good two hours before he poked me in the side. Thank God he waited that long, because I swear if he had woken me up earlier, I would have spewed everywhere
But
It was fun
And it also led to me, lying on the couch all day long, watching Buffy and eating really good bread my mom gave me. Nom nom
And tomorrow, it seems that I have been offered a free ticket to see The Phantom of the Opera. w00t
In other news, in looking up how to spell "Boreanaz," I came across something that I knew in the back of my mind would happen, but hoped that I was wrong
Asshole
Some are saying it was more than one woman. Some reports said it was with one of Tiger Woods' mistresses
Have some class, buddy

Day 09 - Best scene ever
(a day late)
This might be the cruelest one of the bunch - how can I pick just one scene?
I'm going to stray away from Buffy for the time being, although I could easily pick 10 best scenes ever from that show.
*sigh* This is hard, mainly because the scenes I think are the best contain characters that I love and care about. Perhaps the scene doesn't stand on its own, but I think it's brilliant
Call me a softie, but...
This is the BEST SCENE EVER
Tami Tells Eric She's Pregnant
Friday Night Lights | MySpace Video
Yes. Sentimental. But you'd love it more if you watch the entire show. Or maybe you wouldn't. I'm just a softie
But here's a FANTASTIC Doctor Who clip that has very little to do with warm fuzzies:
****
Let's pretend that I wrote this post yesterday
This week really started to pick up. I was going to be hanging alone on Thursday, as always, but Bridget called and I got to go to Jackson for a bit and just hang around there. A bit of drinking and lots of Rumey resulted from this visit and it's always wonderful to see the Birgit Ann
And I'd write more about it, but you have to understand I literally took 3 hours thinking and look for good clips. And I still need to do another post
Fuck

Um...yeah
I've had exactly two songs stuck in my head for the last week
Yeah. I'm classy. Fo shiz
O_o
This is what I get for listening to the radio in the car instead of my iPod
Please reserve your judgment. It's been an odd week

Day 08 - A show everyone should watch
Mythbusters
I feel like EVERYONE should watch this show - maybe not religiously (because I sure don't), but if you're flipping through the channels and there it be, you should watch it.
Why?
Because I have not yet met a person who does not enjoy a good urban legend or two. I haven't met a guy who doesn't enjoy the thought of blowing up a car. I haven't met a girl who thinks Tory is unattractive - or for that matter, any guy who thinks Kari is unattractive.
It's an interesting show. It's a funny show. You don't have to be all science-y to have a good time watching it (though, I'm sure it certainly helps).
And it's on the Discovery Channel. Who doesn't just LOVE the Discovery Channel?
***
Stumbleupon is both a blessing and a curse for me. I don't use it all that often - just when I get really bored - but when I do, I find the most interesting stuff. I like to share it
Problem
People I share sites with stumble more often than I do and have already seen the cool things I saw.
And then I feel sad, like I can share nothing original
*sigh* Well. I told you that to tell you this
I LOVE this site: DEATH!!!
This was very entertaining: A bit of putt-putt
I appreciate people: ZOMBIES!!!
Terribly useful: BODIES!!!!
Some of these would have been horrible, but some...: David Bowie as Hook? Brilliant
Does this turn me on?: You bet!
This is unbelievable: Froggie
And remember: The prettiest dresses are worn to be taken off -- Jean Cocteau
(is that enough sharing for you? huh? huh? yeah. i thought so)
take it easy. don't die. don't get raped

Day 07 - Least favorite episode of your favorite t.v show
Superstar
Considering I never liked the nerd gang that took over the villain spot in Season 6, when one of them casts a spell on all of Sunnydale so that he can look like the biggest hero/celebrity/all-around-good-guy, I tend not to be a fan
They also used that little plot device to tie up fights and problems that every character was having. Riley and Buffy are both unsure about their relationship. Solution: get Jonathan to solve ALL their problems. It's was a sick kind of deus ex machina working and I know the writers are better than that.
It was supposed to be funny. I just found it annoying
***
The roomie cooked dinner and it was yummy
It seems that all of our spring TV shows are coming to a close, as they tend to do at the end of the spring. Go figure. There are season finales and series finales up the wazoo and they're just going to continue. Thankfully, I think we still have a few more episodes of Doctor Who left, so I can be grateful for that
I don't know if I should cut my hair or not. I've always wanted to go super short, but someway or another, I never do it. Either a better idea comes along or I had a show to do where I wasn't technically supposed to cut it. Michaela's offering to do something exciting to it, and I'm really curious to see what it would look like AND the summer heat is just going to continue, so less hair would make things cooler...but there's just something about how my hair lies now that I love. I can get out of the shower, put it up in a bun for a few hours, take it out and it's naturally curly and quite pretty. It's really low maintenance right now and I like that, but I love changing pace with my hair
Conundrum
In other news, my dad always talked about the day when my friends would start getting married and how scary that would be. I scuffed at him and told him that it wasn't that big of a deal, and on some level, it's not. What people choose to do with their lives is completely up to them. If they're happy, I'm happy.
However
It does scare me when I feel like said marriage is one borne out of panic and fear: a way to make something stay the same while other things are changing. I mean, I understand the panicking, especially if you're graduating from college and have few thoughts on what you want to do for the future, but is getting married any way to help you discern what needs to be done?
It might just be me. It might just be how they were raised. A good portion (not all, but some) of the people I know to be doing this kind of thing have parents that got married and/or had children before the age of 22. I guess it's a kind of line drawn for them in their minds - a now or never kind of deal. I had a friend that was convinced that he needed to get married and have children by the age of 19, because that's when his parents started their family.
Creepy
Whereas, my parents were in their late 20s. They had kids in their mid 30s. I am in no hurry to marry, procreate or build a family. In fact, I'd like to stay away from doing that for a while
Then again, I'm not dating anyone right now, so I guess I can't judge. I am, in my nature, a ridiculously weak person, so who knows?
But, from the sidelines, I think these people are fucking nuts

Day 06 - Favorite episode of your favorite t.v show
Hush
Joss Whedon has always been prized on his witty dialogue. In fact, according to him, people would always come up to him and say, "You know why Buffy is such a hit? The dialogue. It's the main thing this show has going for it. Good job."
So, he decided to make an episode devoid of dialogue. Why? Because he's Joss Whedon and he's wonderful.
Hush is an episode that scares the shit out of me. It's an episode that is horrendously funny. It has the wittiness and general Buffy feel despite the lack of 75% of usual dialogue content.
Close second: Tabula Rasa
Third: Earshot
***
Heat always makes naps more frequent, but it also makes it more miserable to wake up. And it takes WAY too long to cool down an apartment, even after the sun goes down
Conclusion: summer sucks ass
Another conclusion: must move somewhere where it is perpetually winter
I ordered a sweatshirt online. Now, you might all think that it's immature, but I think that it's wonderful. I've been wanting it for a very long time and it's about to be the favorite piece of clothing...
if only I could wear it
but I can't because it's fucking 86 degrees!
I'll just have to turn the AC on high. Then I'll be able to wear it
yay

Day 05 - A show you hate
I was going to say Lost, but I watched the series finale (for kicks and giggles) and will admit than I can see why someone would be addicted to this.
Granted, I would never touch the rest of the show with a ten-foot pole, BUT I can understand everyone's odd love for it
So
A show that I hate (and there are many): The X Effect
**As a side note: I went to MTV's site to look up the name of this show and realized that most of the shows I despise find their home on that channel. The X Effect just irked me the most
The premise of this show is two exes, who are currently dating other people, are sent to a resort of sorts and are asked to do various different romantic activities with each other while their significant others watch them on camera. Then, at the end of the weekend the two exes must decided whether to give it another go or to go back with their significant others
Inevitably, the first night, the exes bang each other. I mean, isn't that what MTV wants? Isn't that what the audience wants? Hell, isn't that kind of what their significant others want? Because, both couples have to agree to come on this show, and whether you're doing this to test your boyfriend or prove to your friends that your girlfriend would never cheat on you, the fact remains, you are an idiot and are asking - no, BEGGING - them to cheat.
I don't like this show. I don't like the people on it. I don't like the premise. It's sickening to me

My parents gave me Mongolian BBQ gift cards so that's where me and Emily are heading for lunch. NOM NOM NOM
In other news, I am a fucktard and have the worst taste in men. On Saturday, during the Pentecost vigil, I saw the most ATTRACTIVE MAN I have seen in a while. Dark dark brown hair (almost black), deep voice, kind eyes, great hands and the most knee-buckling smile AND he's about five years older than me. Perfect.
Guess what?
He's a priest
Which tends to make him just a tad bit hotter in my column, unfortunately. A man who has all that AND he's a devout Christian? Oh please. This is too much
Too bad I'll never have him
Too bad I didn't catch him in seminary
Pesky vows
That is all
Granted, I would never touch the rest of the show with a ten-foot pole, BUT I can understand everyone's odd love for it
So
A show that I hate (and there are many): The X Effect
**As a side note: I went to MTV's site to look up the name of this show and realized that most of the shows I despise find their home on that channel. The X Effect just irked me the most
The premise of this show is two exes, who are currently dating other people, are sent to a resort of sorts and are asked to do various different romantic activities with each other while their significant others watch them on camera. Then, at the end of the weekend the two exes must decided whether to give it another go or to go back with their significant others
Inevitably, the first night, the exes bang each other. I mean, isn't that what MTV wants? Isn't that what the audience wants? Hell, isn't that kind of what their significant others want? Because, both couples have to agree to come on this show, and whether you're doing this to test your boyfriend or prove to your friends that your girlfriend would never cheat on you, the fact remains, you are an idiot and are asking - no, BEGGING - them to cheat.
I don't like this show. I don't like the people on it. I don't like the premise. It's sickening to me

Day 04 - Your favorite show ever
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
And there ain't nothing shameful about this. I ADORE this show. It's my comfort show - the one I go to when there's nothing else on. The one show that can guarantee an instant laugh, tear, Chrissy-Shock face, and so on.
I love to love these characters and I love to hate some of them, too (I LOVE to hate Riley. I love to cringe when he says something terribly corny and stupid and something Buffy should never have fallen for). I appreciate their weak moments almost as much as the raging amount of sex that is had in Season 6.
And that's all there is to it. That's my favorite show
***
It's hot
Nasty hot
And I don't like it
Stop it, weather! Bring me back my 70 degree days. No more of this "High of 86" shit. I will not stand for it

Day 03 - Your favorite new show (aired this t.v season)
To tell you the truth, I haven't been watching a lot of "new" shows.
I guess the only one that is technically still in its first season is "Glee"
And yes, I do like "Glee" quite a lot. But no, I'm not a new Gleek (as they so shamefully call them). I remember watching the pilot episode, that showed about a season before the actual show came to Fox and I remember thinking, "This could be interesting."
Do I squee over "Glee?" Occasionally. Would I call myself a Gleek? Absolutely not, but I'm also willing to admit that I watch it whenever I can. Lately, the episodes have sucked more than usual. I attribute this to the writers getting WAY too cocky because of their sudden success. It's all getting a bit ridiculous, but I'll stick with it until it becomes too painful to carry on.
Neil Patrick Harris was lovely, though. I love me some Joss Whedon
***
I decided to head home for the weekend.
I was trying to remember the last time I was home and, unless I'm much mistaken, I think the last time I was here was Easter. I mean, that's a long time to be away and I honestly can't imagine that I didn't come home at least once since then. Then again, with the play stuff and the fact that I didn't want to deal with the stress of coming home on the weekends I was allowed to rest, I guess it would make enough sense.
I've seen a lot of wonderful people this last week. Wednesday was Katie. Thursday was Sasha. Friday was Rachel. All of them have class/internship/rehearsal in East Lansing and none of them are living there. I'm living in East Lansing and have no reason to be there.
Just thought that was odd
Okay. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must change the channel on the television. We've been watching Fox News since I woke up and I seriously think my head is going to explode.
take it easy. don't die. don't get raped

Day 02 - A show that you wish more people were watching
Friday Night Lights
Truth be told, I'm not a big one for sports related shows, most of them being movies. I had a brief thing with movies about basketball back when I actually played it on a team. I was ALL for the drama of and centering around basketball, but that passed after I quit. I hate "Rudy." Wasn't a big one for "Remember the Titans" (though, it always made me laugh when other teams would start chanting "We are the [insert team name]. The mighty mighty [insert team name]" because in high school, we WERE the Titans and any other mascot inserted in there seemed absurd to me. I was immature. I'm not denying it). I mean, I enjoy watching specific sports on the television, but all that "we are a team" shit and everything that comes with it - never really bought into all that, I guess
But, there's something about Friday Night Lights. Might be the music. Might be the way it's filmed. Might be the characters and their little dramas. My love for it could be a lot of things, but all I know is that not enough people watch it. I got the soundtrack from Michaela (consisting mostly of songs by Explosions in the Sky) and then, years later, started watching the show. Thankfully, I got the wife into watching it because I NEEDED to talk to someone about it. I know some people write it off because it appears to be a show about a high school football team, and that's all fine and dandy. Some just don't get how high school student dramas could be interesting. Again, fine and dandy. I just wish more people would give it a chance and watch it and see what I see in it, whatever that may be.
Granted, this last season was painful to get through. My poor Coach Taylor was having a rough time of it and I hate to see him like that.
That's probably it. That's probably why I love this show. Coach Taylor and his wife. I could do without the football, though that tends to round out the show, but Coach Taylor is really what does it for me
I love Kyle Chandler
***
I know it's early into the day, but I had to distract myself somehow.
The wife brought back some books with her from home. Most of them are David Sedaris books. Since Sean let me borrow his Dress Your Family is Corduroy and Denim, I've taken a liking to his dry humor and outlooks. They're just fantastical to me
But, she also brought back Alice Sebold's autobiography. If you don't know, she wrote The Lovely Bones, a book that I never finished. The one thing I do recall is the rape scene, which pretty much opens the book.
Well, guess what opens her autobiography?
And it was horrifying.
I probably shouldn't have read it right before I planned to go to sleep. If you know me, you know how damn paranoid I am about getting raped (or having anything bad happen to me). But the feeling it left me with wasn't fear or paranoia - it's this odd feeling of restlessness and a need to do ANYTHING to get those images out of my head...to get this nasty feeling of shock out of my system.
It's not an entirely graphic account, but it's truthful, and I'm left with the question of how does one shake something like that off. The answer: you just don't. It probably follows you forever, one way or another. Sure, like the death of a family member or friend, time dulls the initial shock and pain of it, but it never truly leaves you. For Alice Sebold, it took place at the very end of her freshman year of college, right before move-out day. It was more than easy to picture MSU's tunnel under the bridge instead of Syracuse's. I could see the walk home from the Aud to Abbot - could see the dorm halls and the night recepts letting me in without my ID because the guy had stolen it. Knocking on Sasha's door...Katie and Chri's door, trying to find someone to help.
I could never put myself in her shoes completely because I've never been in a situation where all of my power was taken from me. And I've never seen myself as a very strong person, so I'm not at all sure how I would handle something like that. Alice Sebold seemed uncommonly calm, as most victims of rape strangely seem. I don't know what part of your brain takes over to deal with something like that. I hope I never have to find out
I know this all seems a little trite coming from safe, ol' me and I'm sure you've all heard someone talk about this before. It's not like I haven't thought about this before either, it's just that something about her account struck a chord. Maybe because it was a college campus and that's just a little too close to home. You know?
And now that I've depressed all of you (if you've even made it this far), I would like to talk to you about my goal:
I want to own movie versions of most of our past ROIAL Players' shows. I don't mean our actual performances of them, but the movie adaptions (or in some cases, the movie the play stemmed from). There are a few that wouldn't be possible, but here's a list that I'm looking at
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
Clue
Brick
The Breakfast Club
Arsenic and Old Lace
Dangerous Liaisons
I know there's a movie version of Delicate Balance, but I've seen the trailer for it and I, in no way, want to own any part of that. I remember watching it with a cast member and we both looked at each other as if to say "What the fuck is this?"
And if movie versions are not possible, maybe have an audio version. I know The Reduced Shakespeare Company puts of CDs of their plays, as I have The Complete Word of God Abridged in my iTunes library. I already have a strange audio version of The History of the Devil that the SciFi channel put out as a kind of radio play. It's seriously almost four hours long and the actors are atrocious, but there it is.
I haven't written a post this long in a while, so I'll leave you here

Day 01 - A show that should have never been canceled
A big fan favorite out there was "Firefly," and getting canceled after 12 (13?) episodes was a huge blow to Joss Whedon fans everywhere.
But that's not the show I'm picking
Too easy
"Dollhouse" is a show that never should have been canceled. Now, I'm willing to admit that the first season did not start off as well as it should have. Joss certainly did not make a killing with those first few episodes, but in his defense, I feel like he tailored the pace of the show to the assumption that he would at least have more time than just two seasons.
There are so many shows that do not start off with a bang. It takes a while to build up a fanbase, but I suppose in this new world of television (because that's what we're in now - it's all about the TV), when every show is trying to make it's way in the world, networks cannot abide a show that isn't an instant hit
HOWEVER! When a show is on at 9pm on Fridays, how can you expect the number of viewers to be sky high? Friday night is where TV shows go to die.
This entire thing might be less about "Dollhouse" being canceled and more about Fox being blowholes. Come now, guys! "Firefly," "Dollhouse," "Arrested Development," "Family Guy" (though, you were smart enough to bring that one back).
I'm just saying, "Dollhouse" was not my favorite show for a number of reasons, and a big one of those is that Joss Whedon didn't have enough time to do what he wanted with it. The first season was slow, only letting through a few hints, which is perfectly acceptable. "Buffy" started super slow and it went on to have season gems, like Season 6. But, second season of "Dollhouse" hit and I don't know what happened. It was like cramming 5 seasons of a show into one season (which is practically what he did). The twists were so twisty that they were virtually unbelievable, and that's saying something for this show. Don't get me wrong - there were some absolutely brilliant moments (Epitaph 1 being one of them) and the big twist of the story actually stung a bit, but when I look back on that second season, I get the sense that it was all a little too much
All in all, it should have had more time to become what was sizzling under the surface of every episode. So much damn potential
In other news, summer is going well enough.
Job hunt - we'll talk about that later when things are finally settled. Don't want to jump into anything and worry before it's due time to worry.
I'm watching so much "Buffy," it might be bordering on the unhealthy side of things. It has seven seasons, though, and it's really easy to just jump from favorite episode to favorite episode. It's also nice to watch all the way through. We'll talk about this later, though, as I'm sure this show will come up in one of the TV questions.
I've been hearing a bit about this Steampunk Expo thing that's taking place in Dearborn, mostly from Facebook but also from some of the blogs. It starts in about a week, I think. I read some of the details on their site and they mention that you need to have a passport if you're coming in from out of the country. I mean, it is a World Steampunk Expo, so this shouldn't surprise me.
Apparently a lot of people bought tickets in advance - made reservations - so I'm a bit unsure what to expect from this. Is it like Comicon or does it resemble the Ren Fest? Or is it a smattering of both?
Whatever the case, I do want to go. All I've gotta do is get myself some aviation goggles and a top hat and I should be set.
In other other news, apparently some fire marshals are coming to our apartment building today to check and make sure all the fire code rules are being followed. One of the rules states that a room must not be unnecessarily messy as to avoid chaos and problems should there be a fire. I have clothes strewn all over my room. Maybe if they knock our door, I'll just pretend to be asleep. Then maybe they'll feel bad walking in and waking me up. Granted, they'll still check our apartment, but hopefully one of them will feel bad.
Especially if I sleep naked.
Hmm
I'll leave you with that
take it easy. don't die. don't get raped

TV Meme
Since I can't seem to write in this damn thing, but really want to, I'm going to try to get myself started with a TV meme. Television is something that I feel quite strongly about, but it certainly betrays me to some of my truer natures. Some of the shows that I watch are a tab bit ridiculous, I must admit, but they're mine
So, without further ado, I give you the categories. I'll start "Day 1" in a new post

Fallen - Storyhill
When Emily and I were working on our puzzle, we found the best Pandora station. For some reason, I cannot get this particular song out of my head or off of my iTunes.
This year the winter will not break me
I swear the spring is coming soon
Sun through the window did not wake me
I slept away the afternoon
So many years I've been sleep-walking
I'm someone else - I don't know who
I've handed in my two-week notice
Still don't know what I'm going to do
I've fallen for you
And I don't know how far I'll go
I was afraid you might have noticed
That it was written on my face
Thought it was time that I just showed it
Tell me if I am out of place
I've fallen for you
And I don't know how far I'll go
You know me, I've got no self-control
There, I said it. Now you know
I've fallen for you
And I don't know how far I'll go
You know me, I've got no self-control
Here's hoping tonight, you're home.
This year the winter will not break me
I swear the spring is coming soon
Sun through the window did not wake me
I slept away the afternoon
So many years I've been sleep-walking
I'm someone else - I don't know who
I've handed in my two-week notice
Still don't know what I'm going to do
I've fallen for you
And I don't know how far I'll go
I was afraid you might have noticed
That it was written on my face
Thought it was time that I just showed it
Tell me if I am out of place
I've fallen for you
And I don't know how far I'll go
You know me, I've got no self-control
There, I said it. Now you know
I've fallen for you
And I don't know how far I'll go
You know me, I've got no self-control
Here's hoping tonight, you're home.
