Bless you, LOST! You turn me into a giddy Faraday every time you do this. Count me in as one that never gets tired of the time travel conceit (unless it's done without brains); it's something you can play so many ways, simply because there are so many different theories about the nature of space/time and how they interact.

( Spoilery blathering. )

The lovely Season 2 boxset of The X-Files is now sitting next to my DVD player (bless you eBay!), which has been a long time coming. This is the season I'm least intimately familiar with (we don't speak of 8 and 9), but it boasts what's possibly my favorite ep of all time - "One Breath" - and one of the very best season finales ("Anasazi"). So I' ( Read more... )

Not much to report, other than I'm officially diving into my LAST MONTH OF COLLEGE EVAR OMG have I mentioned this yet?

I have mapped out for myself the exact number of pages I need to write each day in order to make it to May 9th with minimal pain and consternation. I have told myself: "Self, on any given day, you are not allowed to watch any ( Read more... )

I know I'm late to the party, but: I just watched 4.05. It is, unequivocally, the best episode this show has ever put out. Here, have a few exclamation marks to go with that statement: !!!

kestrel_galien just caught the brunt of my blathering as I fussed with ABC's online player (which was fritzing up a storm - eat me, internets!). Good heavens, where to ( Read more... )

...but every so often I flail at this wretched strike, which is costing me a proper season of T:SCC. The 9th episode is the finale, dudes. And then we get to wait around for FOX's ultimate decision of what to do with the show... order more eps post-strike? Wait around till next fall to start a second season? Axe it altogether? I know it's ( Read more... )

So I just got back from seeing At World's End again - which, offhandedly, destroyed half of my day. Man. I slid out of bed at 10:30, met my parents down at the theater, and by the time we were out it was already 3pm.

But anyway - I must now document what surprised me most about the movie, and that is ( the complete 180 my view of Will undertook. )

I feel like I should be walking around with a sign attached to me that says "WARNING: RISK OF BURNOUT CONTAMINATION."

Because every single other person I talk to is about to keel over dead as well. Hello, junior year. I'm quite done with you.

In other, happier news: first Bourne Ultimatum trailer! You know there's a better one coming, but ( Read more... )

I really should be focusing solely on the TEST OF EVIL PROPORTIONS I have in Hist/Dev tomorrow, but... there are a couple things I can't help but share and squee over:

(1) "Typical" music video! While not necessarily my favorite Mute Math song (which has nothing to do with its quality as a single), this. vid. is. brilliant. And I swear I'm ( Read more... )

Ahem. So last night was fairly awesome. A couple of old high school friends and I hit up Hollywood, ran into lots of chatty (but colorful) strangers, and saw a show at the Knitting Factory - The Moog, a relatively new band from Hungary. Christina was the one familiar with them, and therefore brave enough to go chat with them before and after the ( Read more... )

So, remember how I was feeling great about my chaotic semester, all happy-busy and "wow, look at the piles of stuff I'm getting accomplished!" etc?

Yeah, well, surprise surprise - it's finally starting to take its toll.

I am toasted. I've finished about six different writing assignments this week alone, with more madness to come (my first ( Read more... )
