long and useless

I'd forgotten how much in love I was with that darn Nicktoon, Hey Arnold

*heart*

Oh, Helga Pataki. You're a gal of my own heart.

I am currently obsessed with The Mentalist. I'm really liking the show, though... I suppose I should admit that the stories are sometimes predictable and, well, boring. (Just for me, though.) It's the characters that get me rarin', especially, oh my god, Jane. Seriously, how hot are his wrinkles? I am totally developing a smiles!wrinkle fetish. And yes, I'm going to be a fool and say that I'm totally digging the Lisbon and Jane vibe. Yeah, yeah, yada yada, it's the same old story over and over again, why can't they come up with a new idea of romance, why is it always the will-they-or-won't-they, boobeebah. Knowing all that, conscious of the fact that they're probably going to pull this on for seasons a la Mulder and Scully, but dude.

Me wants Lisbon and Jane.

Also, does not hurt that Lisbon and Van Pelt are awesomely awesome characters and I'm about to die with love for Cho and Rigsby. I'm not so attracted to the case-a-week stories (though the overarching plot of Red John is kickass), but the shine of the show is the team dynamics and characters. Which I think is pretty cool.

(and I have a teensy crush on Van Pelt, seriously. GINGER HAIR!)

CHO. YOUR ONE-LINERS RENDER ME DEAD.

Rigsby is like the world's biggest teddy bear, EVER. He's so adorable and shy and cute and EEE, I hope he and Van Pelt get another kiss!moment. Ha, I'm easy. I just want a little nookie.

Also digging on the TV frontier - Psych. Wow. Psych is pretty much wonderful. I mean, there are times when I'm literally (no seriously, LITERALLY) convulsing with laughter and I can't stop. Shawn and Gus are such cool combo - okay, okay, sometimes I do think Shawn takes advantage of Gus. (Okay, a lot.) And their friendship is just mildly weird (is that an understatement), but I love their teamwork... even if I do think Shawn is more preoccupied with Gus' life than his own. Hmmm.

BUT. For me, my favorite characters?

LASSITER AND JULES. YES. LASSITER AND JULES. I'm so in love with Lassiter. THIS IS WEIRD. And I love O'Hara. Needless to say, while the show is pushing for Shawn/Jules, I think I'm leaning toward Lassiter/O'Hara, Shawn/Gus. Oh, Lassiter. You're cooler than beans.

I think I'm seeing a theme here...

Though. All these shows (I'm thinking of Lie to Me as well) have that male lead - I'm kind of wanting a show with a female lead in the same fashion... mmm, not sure if that makes sense. Anyways. Never mind.

ON A SIDE NOTE.

CLARK. LOIS. YOU BE FOOLING NO ONE.

I won't really miss you, but for about four years, I was in love with your show.

It's the very last night of ER tonight and nostalgia alone would have me watching it, but woe, I shall be on a flight to DC so I won't be able to see most of it. I'll have to watch it later, along with the one hour long reflection. (Which I really did want to see; nothing like sappy memories to get the nostalgia juices flowing!) I haven't watched any of this season, though I keep meaning to. Everything and everyone kept reminding me, though, that it was the very last season of ER. Stop it. I feel enough guilt as it is.

Though seriously, I do kind of miss the old ER. I miss Carter and Lucy and Doug and Mark and Weaver and ABBY (predrama... well, baby drama) and everyone. I do like the rotating new cast members form, oh, season 10 onwards, but sometimes they left so quickly, it wasn't much fun to watch them.

(Though, on an aside, Morris is one of my favorite characters, like ever. He's so wonderfully dorky.)

I'm also glad about Neela. I've been reading spoilers for ER (I know, I know) and I know what happens to her. And I'm glad. It's a good ending and something I actually didn't quite expect. Plus. I love them. So yay, plus.

As soon as this season is finished, I'll probably watch the whole thing at one time and get that ER rush. And I'll get to see all the guest stars (so many!) all at once.

Love you ER, hope you live in good DVD heaven.

(P.S. I lied. I totally will miss you, you scurvy medical whatsits)

This is about vampires. This is set in the South. The main character's name is Sookie Stackwood. We have a vampire called Bill.

We also have Anna Paquin, who I have a weird love for.

So far?

( this is a weird story )

In other, real-life news, the VP debate last night was more boring than I thought it'd be. It's probably very petty of me to say this, but I watched with a kind of half-formed thought that maybe Palin would screw up on the podium. After watching the Couric interview, you'd think she owuld have a hard time dealing with an honest debate, but I guess that 'debate boot camp' kind of worked. Palin rambled a lot. I started tuning her out at points because it got so repetitive.

Mind, Biden wasn't much better. He's pretty repetitive too. I guess that's the point.

Palin still makes my noise muscles twitch. She irritates me so much. Having her as our first female VP candidate just... argh. argh. argh.argharghargharheaejahfkehajfhejkl.

I watched chapters 19 - 23 a few weeks ago, and I'm finally adding in my two cents and reactions.

It was glorious.

And I fully take to it now. I am a Peter and Claire fan all the way. Every time they showed up on screen together, my belly did a bit of a flip-flop. Every single time they touched, whether they were running away, comforting each other, or really, anything, I squealed. I literally squealed and my sister kept giving me horrified looks from her attempt to watch a Chinese drama. Good times, good times.

( ever so late reaction to the first season. And Peter. And Claire. )

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SECOND SEASON.

NEED MORE CLAIRE AND PETER.

Mohhhhhinder.

I haven't been able to watch Heroes since episode 19, and I've been very, very good about keeping away from spoilers. The finale just aired, so that's good. I can dl the rest and just watch straight through.

*chitters*

OMG(#UJOFIKEJRKLNEELK:JRLEMFFKDLSFLKE

WHY WON'T YOU COME BACK TO ME INTERNETZ?

Oh, hell. I just had moments of Cameron and House ecstasy.

She gets better and better with every season. She's keeping her compassion and weaknesses that defined in before and now... basically, she's taking the good qualities about House and none of the negativities and combining them with her own viewpoints to form a very unique and interesting character.

GOD I LOVE CAMERON.

SO HAH

Finally caught up on the last two episodes and oh my, they were quite good!

( lots of shouting and giggling )
