Yo, guys! :D I feel quite cheerful today. I was suddenly hit by inspiration yesterday night and started writing one of the crossover fanfictions I had in mind and I kind of like the way it's turning out. :D Also, I watched Gossip Girl's latest episode today (4x10) and I also managed to catch up on a couple of Leverage episodes.
I found this episode of Gossip Girl really good. I don't know how or why, but there was something... refreshing about it. The music was different. The tone of it was different. I felt it was like a 'pause' from all the plotting and the revenge and everything that has been going on on the show. They concentrated more on the characters' feelings in this episode. I really enjoyed it.
I liked Jenny in this episode, which is a surprise also to me. At the end, when she understands that she hasn't changed at all and tells Blair the whole truth about what happened to Serena - that was one of the parts I enjoyed the most. I actually wished for her to work with Blair to take Juliet down, but it's okay even if she doesn't. I saw a glimpse of the old Jenny in that moment and I liked it. Good Jenny. Also, Vanessa is a coward.
The CB scenes were sweet, though Chuck's reaction was a bit unexpected to me. But I totally smiled when she sent him that pie. Awww, Blair. ♥
Also... there was some Dan/Blair interaction, which made me ridiculously happy. Especially the last scene. ♥ And OMG in the next episode they're actually going to work TOGETHER to take Juliet down. I CAN'T WAIT. My Dan/Blair sense are tingling, ohohoh~ ♥ I can already feel the hilarity! XD Dan and Blair have a great chemistry, in my opinion, and hopefully this mission will get them closer. ♥ I realize it is highly improbable that they will hook up (especially with what has happened between Chuck and Blair in this season), but I'm happy even with just them being friends partners in crime... sort of. XD
As for Leverage... I am using this hiatus to catch up on the episodes of season 3 and right now I'm at episode 3x08. There is only one word that comes to my mind: WIN. Especially this scene right here:

I found this extremely hilarious! XD You gotta love the interaction between Parker, Eliot and Hardison here!
Eliot: I got hit by a car!
Parker: (mocking him) "I got hit by a car!" GET OVER IT!
Eliot: (to Hardison) I'm going to kill her, man. Imma kill her!
Hardison: Hey, hey, hey - nobody is going to kill anybody. ... (to Parker) Seriously, though, Nate's going to kill you.
Girl: Who are you people?
Parker: WE'RE THE GOOD GUYS!
Also, right after this:
Eliot: Parker, where did you learn to drive?!
Parker: Before I stole cars, I was a get-away driver.
Hardison: Before? You started stealing cars when you were twelve!
[there is a flashback of a little Parker driving a car while being chased by the police]
younger!Parker: Get out of the way, you old bat!
[back to the present]
Parker: GET OUT OF THE WAY, YOU OLD BAT!
Hardison: O_O [looks like he's thinking, 'oh my god, I'm gonna die!']
I LOL'd so hard at this! XDD Truly, this is one of the funniest moments of season 3!
Onto other matters, I would like to wish happy birthday to Andrea (
royalbk) (whose birthday was actually yesterday) and Emiko (
animefanemiko)! ♥ I hope you had/have a fantastic day~! :D
Also, I just wanted to remind you guys of the
Time Capsule Meme, just in case you'd missed it, or you felt like writing something to me... or something. XD
Next time I'm going to start the Ten Days Meme that everyone seems to be doing recently... I think it's going to be interesting. :D
