companions are expensive!
lavellebelle pointed this out today. And there was a teddy bear signed by Morena Baccarin that wasn't so much and so I decided to participate. It's for a good cause and I gave myself a limit. Now I've never done the auction thing before and so here it is, down to the wire and it's looking really good for me and with about 25 seconds left someone bids, so then I do it and then they up the bid like $40 and that was it for me. I let them take it and now I am feeling like a sore loser. I'm going to pout for a bit. But I am glad that it got a good price...a really good price...and that all of that money is going to the charity. Joss is still up but I'm sure by tomorrow it will be crazy. It's only at $80 right now. And I have to stay away from that place. It's evil. I got far too caught up in the moment and the idea that someone would outbid me in the last 25 seconds just about killed me. Alas, it wasn't meant to be. *sigh*
So there's been new TV on...
Well, they really did it, huh? I have to say that I didn't read any spoilers and just had heard that they were killing him off...not that it was going to happen in the very first episode. I really didn't think they would do it so quickly. And I'm not the hugest fan of Vaughn...especially after the chemistry between the two of them became pretty much non-existant but I find it incredibly shitty that they killed him off because I do like Michael Vartan and I just found the whole thing a little too over-the-top and for Alias, that's saying a lot. I hope Jen Garner can tra-la-la her way through the season now that he's gone. The whole thing just ends up with me wanting to smack her.
So, Desmond. I like his music. I've been singing that song for two weeks now *shoots self in head* I think it's interesting to some extent but on the other hand, it's a guy in the hatch? Really? Seriously? I put so much stock into the raft guys and that was a big disappointment and just a repeat of "Special", essentially. I do like how the numbers are playing a big part (108, the numbers are on the vial of medicine he takes, putting them into the computer and executing...). I may have no friggin' clue as to what they are doing but the numbers have always intrigued me and I want to know what they're about.
I don't have much to say other than, when is it going to start? Three episodes in and it still feels off and it's not going anywhere. Maybe tonight will bring some joy with Lorelai and Rory maybe having it out at the christening. I can only hope.
Ooh, boy, that was good. I told tlace that I just had goose bumps all over my body by the end of the episode. I never, not in a million years, expected the bus to crash. I loved that Logan was at the door (I totally made D. switch the channel so I could see who it was...the good old switch n' see). I adored all the scenes between V/L and my heart broke when he told her he loved her and she just didn't say anything. Then I thought I lost my mind when she started making out with Duncan and then I realized that Rob Thomas is a sly bastard and he will make us earn the LoVe. Which I'm perfectly happy with. I don't want my 'ships handed to me on a silver platter. I like to work for them and have it be a big payoff.
I'm still feeling my way with Bones, not giving up just yet, but I'm still unsure, I love Kitchen Confidential, How I Met Your Mother isn't so bad but I'm still iffy on it, Reunion is soapy fun and the acting, for the most part, is terrible but there's something about it that keeps my interest. I think it reminds me of 90210 but with a better premise. I just want to see who was killed...I have a feeling but I'm not positive. My Name is Earl is great but is that my love of Jason Lee or is the show really good? I haven't decided yet. Invasion has my interest but, again, I'm just seeing where they go with it.
What I find myself loving is Desperate Housewives. Now I didn't watch it all last year and decided to check it out this year because of my adoration for Alfre Woodard. Needless to say, I got completely hooked, found a website with transcripts, read them all, ordered the DVDs and that's that. At first I thought I don't know how to watch a show that I don't really like many of the characters but it wormed its way in and now, I'm beginning to enjoy it. My life revolved around TV again. Not good.
We did see Serenity again so we did our part. I am trying to convince D. to go with me on Saturday. And I do want to go myself...maybe I'll do that on Sunday. US Weekly, the bastards, said that Nathan "doesn't exactly have a face for movies". I don't know why I read that trash but they're obviously insane.
Tonight, I'm going to Best Buy and getting: the new Fiona Apple, "Extraordinary Machine" (which Entertainment Weekly gave an A! So happy!), Serenity soundtrack (don't read the back of the CD because the spoilers are many), Veronica Mars soundtrack and David Gray. I can't believe I've gone this long without the new Gray. Anyone have it? Love it, like it, hate it? I'm just so very excited about the new Fi. It's been, what?, 6 years since When the Pawn...it's about damn time.
And if I don't get my internet back soon, I'm going to scream. I need to make Firefly icons. It's killing me slowly. Must make some sort of art. But I also like that feeling because I was so burned out at the beginning of the summer. I like feeling like I need to do it again. And I also want a new mood theme from, of course, Firefly. Whee! New obsessions are fun!
