lazy sunday wake up in the late afternoon
+ This article is very relevant to my interests and life.
Much more important is the damage Mr Chávez is doing to his own country. His “21st-century socialism” is a precarious construction. The brief fall in the oil price of 2008-09 was enough to sink Venezuela’s economy into stagflation-even as the rest of Latin America is enjoying vigorous economic recovery. Venezuelans are suffering declining real wages, persistent shortages of staple goods (meat is the latest to become scarce) and daily power cuts.
He has hollowed out Venezuela’s democracy, subjugating the courts, bullying the media and intimidating opponents. But he has been unable, or unwilling, to disregard or repress opposition to the same degree as Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or even Russia’s Vladimir Putin, let alone the Castro brothers in Cuba.
+ Great Avatar: The Last Airbender recasting picspam. I just have to say Sokka, Zuko and Aang? INSPIRED. Dev is sooo Sokka is unreal. You missed out on gold there, Shyamalan.
+ Remember when last week I was all Hey Community season finale! And then it was LOL OOPS, one more episode to go! Well now after watching the actual season finale, I wish I had been right last week. I truly love love the show, but I did not love this episode. Britta and Slater suddenly imitating and fighting over Jeff like two teenagers on a CW show (that is not The Vampire Dairies)? Britta suddenly turning away from everything her character's been all season? The second hand embarrassment during the "I love you" scene that I literally covered my eyes? All of it was DNW. I didn't really mind the Jeff/Annie kissing because I'm pretty open when multishipping happens, unless I truly disklike one of the characters and that's not the case here. So the kiss was fine within the context of the episode, and they've has super cute moments throughout the series, so yeah, I can buy the build up. But everything with Britta and Slater? What happened there, show. When did these two women turn into needy prom queens. Oh, show, you were having such an amazing season! Like I said mentioned on an flisters post, it's sad that the season ended with a slight sour note. Basically what I loved was: Troy, Abed and the cookie! MUCH LOVE. AND BRITISH SLANG AND SEÑOR CHANG PULLING OUT THE LOST LOOP HOLE THREAT, HOLLA.
So while the episode has some really wonderful moments I still say last week would have been a stronger finale and imho more in tune with what the show tries to be.
+ I watched the Fringe finale and found it to be prefect and awesome and they've set up a great arch for the next season.
+ It's sad that Legend of the Seeker ended just as I started to watch it (oh, isn't that always the way though with some shows), but overall I found the finale to do justice to most of it's characters.
+ What is with all these new shows NBC is promoting? They look like so much fun! It's been such a surprise! Time will tell of course, but mostly they look charming as hell. I mean, look at them. They're kinda great looking. Plus this film like trailer way they went to promote the shows really works. (Though not to fussed about Love Bites and Friends with Benefits, save to say: TOPHER, HI THERE. Go visit Summer in The Cape and be cute again? But Undercovers, I'm loving the shit out it I could probably write a whole post about it, and thanks to Summer, The Cape, also Chase [Annie Frost, how badass do you seem!]. The Event is hopefully better than FlashForward ended up being, and Outsourced looks a little hilarious if a little slapsticky, but hey, I love Chuck and the Buy More might as well be it's own sticom. And the Outlaw actually looks kinda good. I almost would say this is all good karma for finally letting go of Heroes, idek what's been happening with that show save it getting cancelled. )
BUT MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL: SKY 1 IS GOING TO SHOW THE LOST FINALE LIVE AT 5AM, GUESS WHERE I'M GOING TO BE?!! THAT'S RIGHT, ON MY COUCH, WATCHING AND SQUEEING AND MAYBE CRYING, BUT WHO THE FUCK KNOWS.
I posted this on tumblr a long time ago, but you know how it is.
