T.V and Exams Don't Mix
My exams started this week, preventing me from going home for two weeks, and I'm missing home very, very much.
But, I have one more and I'm done! Today, I had Art History, which I dreaded because it was cumulative- meaning I had to study EVERYTHING, including names, dates, and where it was located. It wasn't too bad though. I knew most of the multiple choice questions, and I only messed up once with the identification. The relief I felt when I walked out of that room was unbearable!
And of course, after such hard work, I came back to rot my mind with T.V. shows. There were so many this season, I didn't know where to start. Of course, I had to follow the series I've followed previously.
I just finished watching House MD's season finale- which was so sad! It's been a while since a good episode was aired. Then there's Bones- honestly, I never thought I would watch this, or enjoy it. It's actually pretty funny, and gruesome.And I must say, now that it's over, it's the only show that doesn't hang on a cliff...
One bad cliff hanger ending is Supernatural. The whole season was useless and disappointing though.
I'm really impressed by the new shows though. My first favorite would be Eli Stone: A big shot lawyer discovers he has a brain aneurysm, which may be the cause of visions urging him to help individuals in need of justice. The first season is only 13 episodes, and it almost killed me when it was over. The good news is there will be a second season next year, which I'm looking forward to. I've been advertising this series to all my friends, until they did get bored and watched it.
Another show my friend suggested I watch was Pushing Daisies. I probably never mentioned this before, but I love new, creative ideas. Whether it's in a book, anime, movie or a show, I love watching it, and then pondering on how the genius creator came up with it. This is one of those shows. Shots, story, characters, narrations, music- awesome. It's like something out of a story book.
Ned has a gift- he can bring people back to life with one touch. But when the time of the life given back exceeds one minute, another life must be traded in its place. Also, whatever he touched back to life, if he touches it again, it dies "forever". Now, as the pie-maker running his own place, he helps P.I Cod with his cases... Yes, I realize it sounds morbid. But somehow, it's comedy, drama, romance, and mystery all in one. Really good.
These are the best two newcomers so far. People are trying to get me to watch Gossip Girls, which I'm still not keen on. Even Abdulla's watching it, and I don't know what that says. My mother also recommended Samantha Who, which, I think, may be made up of those "creative" ideas, but I need to check it out first. The same friend who suggested Pushing Daisies (and I will love her forever for this), also recommended Moonlight- another vampire/detective plot. It's...not bad. Not as great as she made it out to be, but not bad. Although I don't think I'll keep watching it after I finish this season. That also goes to Women's Murder Club, but then again, it's canceled for next season.
Phew. Now that the season is over for the American dramas, I can probably focus on anime/dramas this summer. Bring out the list...
