I am kind of depressed and very FEELINGS! WHY DO I HAVE FEELINGS about an old/new development in my life and I think it's only been exacerbated by the colder weather - fall has arrived in California! I should be more excited about it because cinnamon and pumpkin spice and apple spice and basically I want to shove my face into a pile of sweaters and ( Read more... )

meganbmoore and calixa I most likely will not be around for the City Hunter watching as there is a food truck festival in town and I must eat with two hands the most carnitas, tacos, bacon thingies, Filipino fusion food, banh mis, that I can. Because being stuck out in suburbia, food trucks are more of a city thing and I'm not traipsing off to LA just to stalk the ( Read more... )

I felt rather underwhelmed with most of the winter season (though if you haven't watched Akai Ito, whyever the hell not?

I think Episode 4: "The Miracle Job" is my favorite though.

re: Leverage, darkeyedwolf, I just finished watching episode 1, am part way through episode 2, have 4 queued up for download, and I need episode 3. NVM: kitsune714 comes through! Could you possibly help a girl out here?

Hmm. I've been out of the loop re Joss Whedon, but here's the trailer to his new show, starring Eliza Dushku and Tahmoh Penikitt: Dollhouse. I have a semi-complicated relationship with Joss as media creator: I fell for Buffy hard, never really warmed up to Angel, liked Firefly well enough and I've skimmed through Buffy Season 8 - but I don't think ( Read more... )
