Call me an optimist, but I'm hoping to find a fortune in gold doubloons. (btvs 2:2)
This has been one of those weird weeks. I've been all spacey and done things like almost walked in front of a car (I got out of the way in time, er, obviously). I also left my wallet at work one night and nearly had a heart attack thinking I'd left it somewhere like Starbucks (since it's the most likely place I'll be now that they have their Peppermint Hot Chocolates). Fortunately a co-worker found it on the floor by my desk so that was a relief! It meant I didn't have my driver's license when I went to vote in the municipal election but I discovered that just my voting card and my Bell phone bill was enough. When I offered my passport as photo ID they were like "That's no good." It's weird that my phone bill was enough proof of ID and they don't check photo IDs. *shrugs* But all the candidates I voted for won - it was very surreal cause that rarely happens.
And OMG, the other night I ALMOST DRANK A SPIDER!!!! It had somehow gotten in my water glass and as I was tilting the glass to my lips I happened to notice something moving. *still gets freaked out thinking about it* My poor friend was on the phone with me at the time, so got to experience me shrieking and being distressed.
I've also been focused on my fall_for_sx fic, It's Not. /self-promoting
Oh! And today's savoytruffle's day at fall_for_sx, check out her awesome fic: Or Forever Hold Your Peace.
I'm also happy because entrenous88 has been posting new chapters of Cuddly Predators.
So in conclusion, yay Spander!!
I also have some very brief TV comments! This morning I was reflecting that I know it's November sweeps since the characters are all in danger (or so it seems).
Veronica Mars - Of Vice and Men (3:7)
Overall I enjoyed the episode and was totally worried and stressed during the River Stix scene (yay Vinnie!) and at the end. The instant Veronica got up to change her meal in the cafeteria, I knew something bad would happen. I've never been on something like GHB but it was frustrating that she didn't get *anyone* to help her when she was feeling oozy. I know she was feeling estranged from her dad and Logan but still, couldn't she have tried to get help? It is mostly in character but was still frustrating. And the ending was sweet - and relieving!!
Fyi: the surfer roommate of the missing boyfriend was played by Charlie Weber who was Ben on BtVS (as in Ben & Glory). He was also on Everwood back when Madison was on the show.
The girlfriend of the missing roommate was played by Amanda Walsh. You may recognize her as one of the girls who slept with David Boreanaz in These Girls and as a cheerleader on Smallville. And if you're Canadian, you'll remember her from her days as a MuchMusic VJ.
Bones - The Aliens in the Spaceship (2:9)
Now this was such a good episode! And I was waaay less frustrated than in VM. It was so cool to see Brennan and Hodgins be all MacGyver - and have it be totally in character. Both the actors impressed me with their skill. I was in tears many times, partly because I'm sentimental and partly because I was genuinely moved. I have to say that it's not often these days that I get totally sucked into a TV show (I've been feeling so distracted recently), and this episode totally sucked me. Although I wish that they'd actually included in the episode who the Gravedigger was (I'd correctly guessed during the episode). Thanks to carmen_sandiego for linking to the Fox official recap which gives that info. And I highly recommend carmen_sandiego's fun commentaries on the show, check out this week's here.
Dancing with the Stars - Finale
I really enjoyed all the finalists so am very happy with Emmitt and Cheryl winning. It's especially cool because they both seem so nice, and Emmitt has great charisma. I really liked Mario too, it was neat that the competitors were so closely matched. And I must say, OMG - Mario and Karina are so a couple!!
I'm ridiculously behind on so much TV right now. Three separate co-workers harassed me about not seeing this week's Heroes yet. If only there were more hours in the day! *contemplates trying to find that time turner Hermione has in Harry Potter*
I hope you're all good! *hugs*
