A smattering of different things:
-Still can't talk, but I think things are definitely improving at least. Of course, the other thing frustrating about this is I'm drinking so much water and other liquids, that I have to go to the restroom even more than I usually do.
-So my ipod nano was close to filling up, so I switched to the ipod classic, which has 10x the storage. Since it can hold up to 160 gigs, I put some of my TV shows (all of Glee, select eps of various other shows like Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries, Community, and Archer) and those movies I have on itunes (Bandslam, Brick, Enchanted, Garden State, Godspell, Kick-Ass, Lemonade Mouth, Rent, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, the director's cut of Sucker Punch, A Walk To Remember and Zombieland) So I'm down to about 77 gig on the device, which should hopefully last a long time. Weird though, my nano couldn't charge from the dock on my car stereo, but the classic can. I'm not sure why it would work for one and not the other.
-Faberry won yet another poll, Zimbio's 2012 March Madness TV couples competition. The article about their win here is more well written than the E! one when they won that one, because they actually go into the compelling reasons why fans support Rachel and Quinn as an actual romantic couple.
-Speaking of TV couples, here's an article on 5 TV couples that just need to get together already. Obviously, I agree with Jannie and Barney/Robin. Laurie and Travis on Cougar Town would be a little weird. I mean, the age difference is smaller there than with Jeff and Annie, but Travis was under 18 when the show first started. He wasn't exactly a kid, but there was still a generational gap- he had his teen stuff going on, while the adults had there's. And Laurie is like friends with his mom, as opposed to being a fellow college student who just happens to be 10-15 years older. I'm not against it, it would be interesting, just a little jarring.
I'm not sure how I feel about Mary and Marshall on In Plain Sight. They've always had that will-they or won't they thing going on. Well, it seemed Marshall was the one more into it, but they definitely have strong feelings for one another. Its just with only a few episodes left, and where they are in their lives currently, I don't think them getting together can be done well in that time constraint. She just had a baby and is living with her ex-husband, he just proposed!
But I do echo their comment on OUAT. Snow and Charming? Great couple? MM and David? Ugh. He's such an ass in Storybrooke.
TV commentary:
House- Wow, House has done some crazy things before, but I feel that's over the line. Ida know, to me, making someone think they have a kid, and then being all, "Okay, not really!" is one of the most horrible things you could to someone! Yeah, he was trying to show Wilson he's not ready to be a dad, but still, you don't joke around with that kinda familial bond. You don't make someone think they're a parent and take it away from them! Even if Wilson didn't want to take the kid in, I think he still liked the idea of having a kid. Not cool.
I mean, I had a sneaking suspicion it was all a ruse from the get-go, but I was hoping against hope that House would not be that awful. But he was!
Hart of Dixie- You know, even though there are a lot of similarities between Lemon and Lauren on MIOBI, I can tolerate the former much more. (Though just barely). They're both rich bitch Daddy's girls with mother abandonment issues. At least with Lemon, I understand her motivation, she's friggin' paranoid. Lauren has some of that, but also, she seems to cause chaos on a whim, or worse, hurts her friends because they're doing better than her at this or that! And Lemon at least shows periods of genuine vulnerability without seeming like a petulant brat, even when Lauren has her moments of sadness, there's always some element stopping you from completely feeling sorry for her.
Heh, George has had about enough of Lemon's shenanigans concerning Zoe. First, he tells Lemon off when she says she doesn't see the big deal about Zoe getting her dad to come, telling her its tantamount to Lemon talking to her mother (which is always sure to strike a chord with her, and the knife twists even more since George is acknowledging he knows this intimate secret about Zoe), and then goes a little overboard and blames her for his dad being in the hospital in the first place, because if she hadn't gotten him wound up, he wouldn't have argued with his dad and maybe he wouldn't have had the heart attack.
So, Lemon gets the bright idea to keep Zoe close by acting like her new best friend. George knows Lemon well, since he suspects its just a ruse. Lemon claims it isn't, but it is. Eventually, Zoe calls her out on it when Lemon invites her to the wedding, laughing in her face and saying Lemon wants her there as much as Zoe wants to be there. Since Zoe has her own shit to deal with, she lets Lemon know she'd never tell George about Levon and her. For one, Levon is her best friend, and she wouldn't betray him like that, and she doesn't want to be the one to break George's heart, so she says Lemon she prolly should tell George.
Although, it may be too late- in the end George and Lemon make up, and he says she should have some fun at the Rammer-Jammer, but he has work to catch up on. So as Lemon gets there, a drunk Levon is all, maybe he did subconsciously tell Zoe to force the issue and get Lemon to tell the truth to George. He moves into kiss her- and of course, George changed his mind about work and goes to join Lemon, and see the kiss from across the lot. But, a car drives in front of him, so he's temporarily blinded, and after it passes, they're gone. He's definitely suspicious now, but given how far away they were and the lights distracting him, I'm sure part of him wonders if it just wasn't his mind playing tricks on him.
Anyways, onto Zoe. She tells Addie she's intending to give him a peace of her mind once her dad gets there, well, after the surgery, because obviously she doesn't want to mess that up. Zoe's dad shows up and asks her to help him with the surgery, so that throws her for a loop. Thankfully, its successful, because how awkward would that be if George's dad died? But yeah, it was a nice bonding experience and Zoe thinks things went well between them. Until after the surgery her dad is all, this is good, we may not be actual father and daughter, but we can be medical colleagues! Zoe, desperate for the connection accepts it.
Addie knows she's not that thrilled with the sitch. Zoe is all, well, he's not my real dad, so can I really ask him to act like a father. Addie tells her, she has a kid she gave birth to, and one she adopted, and even though the adopted one isn't biologically hers, its still her kid. Her dad raised her as if she was his own, so he's still her dad.
Eventually it all comes to a head, when her "friend and colleague" sees all that's going on between Zoe and George and Lemon and he's worried for her. So she lays into him, saying he can't have it both ways, and she'd rather have nothing than the weird ambiguous BS they have currently. In the end, he apologizes saying, after finding out she wasn't his, he just didn't know how to act around her. So he proposed the colleagues thing because he felt that would be easier, maybe they could avoid the elephant in the room. Its why he became a surgeon in the first place, by the time they come to him, the trigger's already been pulled, there's no having to really discuss things with the patient, he just has to do X. No arguments, no decisions to go over.
But with Zoe laying it all out there, he admits he doesn't want to lose her as a daughter, so they'll work through it.
