I. TRAGEDY STRIKES CANADA: Canada lost the World Junior Championships to Russia in a spectacular third period meltdown Wednesday night which, if you read the paper (and I do), might give the impression that it has sent the entire country into a tailspin of self-doubt and existentialism about our future. I didn't actually watch the game because a). I have flounced from hockey; b) I couldn't get a working feed on my computer. BUT THE POINT STILL STANDS. I'm torn between laughing at ourselves and feeling immense heartbreak every time I open the newspaper.
But at least it was Russia which I suspect is among the very small handful of countries in this world that actually cares about the World Juniors. Nothing is worse than losing to a team whose home country doesn't give a shit.
II. I've been watching Misfits! It took me a looooooong time to get into this show ngl. I watched the first episode way back at the beginning of December and more or less dragged myself through the first four episodes while wondering why the Internet liked it so much. I finally started to legitimately enjoy it a lot in 1x05 (Curtis broke up with his girlfriend using a Spiderman quote LOL LOL) and thought that the S1 finale was pretty genius.
My favourites are probably Kelly and Nathan which is unexpected since I spent the first two episodes thinking Nathan was an unredeemable ass. But the show managed to work in a lot of heart to the character so that now I am torn between laughing at him and affectionate annoyance which I think is also how Kelly feels about him SO THERE YOU GO.
I also liked 2x01 a lot but was sort of "okay" on 2x02. IDK the "I see dead people" thing was meh. And I'm not sure how I feel about this masked superhero thing and Curtis's flash forward. Sometimes this show is just too weird for even me, what can I say.
THE THING IS through my wanderings on the Internet, I am aware that the second season is going to take a sharp turn towards Simon/Alisha and I already resent them for intruding on Nathan and Kelly and Nathan/Kelly (I guess I ship it lol). Humph.
III. A RECOMMENDATION: ladygawain made a TVD Hogwarts House picspam which gets bonus points because ALL THE COOL PEOPLE ARE IN HUFFLEPUFF. Hufflepuff is the house that always gets picked last when you can't figure out where else to slot someone, but in the world of The Vampire Diaries, it is suddenly my first choice House. Yeah Hufflepuff, getting all the cool kids.
IV. I love this Freema Agyeman icon even if it is for a show I have never watched. LOOK AT HER, ALL LAWYERED UP AND GORGEOUS.
