(no subject)
01. I quit my job. Basically, my hours have gotten cut down drastically lately and I've been having trouble earning enough money to pay my bills and still save for Europe next summer. So last week I asked the owner to keep me in mind if another shift opened up. Not only did she not do that but I showed up to work on Thursday to find she had given one of my two shifts away to a new guy. When I finally tracked her down, she blamed it on a misunderstanding but basically told me to get over it, she wasn't going to 'go through the trouble' of changing it back, leaving me to work only one day a week.
Not only does the situation piss me off, but the fact that she didn't even call me to tell me and her attitude about the whole thing sent me over the edge. Four hours a week is not worth my time. I already have a new job lined up at my cousin's restaurant that I'll start when I get back from my dad's in January and I think I'm going to apply for a clerk position at the local video store too so I should be fine. It's just irritating. I actually liked my job, and I loved the people I worked with. I'm really going to miss them.
02. TV's winter hiatus and lack of new episodes, however annoying, has given me to actually be caught up with everything for once. So quick thoughts on those, as well as two new shows I recently started watching with my mother.
Bones
The kiss? Was incredibly hot. I want more. Like now please. KTHX.
And Anglea/Hodgins are still as awesome as ever.
I love that the Freaks and Geeks guy has joined the cast. Not only is he an excellent addition to the team, since he's so enthusiastic about being involved, but his specialty is actually helpful, and amusing. I love the therapy sessions between Booth and Brennan.
Brothers & Sisters
Justin is my favorite character by far and when he got his letter about being back on active duty, I just about cried. That whole episode was so sad and moving that it just, once again, made me pissed off about the war all over again. I hate that it all came right as he got his life together. It makes me so sad.
Can Emily Vancamp please join the cast already? I want to meet Rebecca already.
Chuck
The Chuck and Sarah angst is kind getting on my nerves. I kind of liked them better towards the beginning of the series. Is it wrong that I like Sarah with Casey better? They have such an interesting dynamic. They don't take each other's crap and they aren't afraid of being blunt or honest with one another when the other one's being stupid. I think their more compatible in the long run. (Yes, I know I'm crazy.) I also really like Morgan and Anna. Whose surprised?
Dirty Sexy Money
Thank God the whole Sophia thing is over. I respect that Jeremy wants girls to love him for him but a poor person is not who he is. And Sophia was annoying. He can do better. Am I horrible person for still kind of liking Natalie and him together? *is embarrassed* Though I wouldn't totally be against him getting together with Lisa, I just dread that actually happening. I wish we could snap our fingers and have Nick/Karen and Jeremy/Lisa. Also? Nick and Lisa having another kid? Worst idea ever.
Juliet, on the other hand, needs better story lines. She's a great character and Samaire deserves better material. I had originally pegged the guy as an obvious gold digger, especially when he unexpectedly changed his plans to stay. The only thing that redeemed him at all was the fact that he kept reiterating the fact that he didn't want any gifts. I just hope he turns out to be a decent guy with a little more depth than we've seen so far.
And Carmelita's kidnapping is the stupidest thing ever. Patrick is a dog, even more so than Brian (who I actually like now). My bet is on Patrick's wife. I don't think she's as stupid as she looks.
Roswell
So far, I really like the show. I don't have any favorite characters or ships so far but I do like Max/Liz. I just really can't wait for Michael and Maria to get together. I love both characters, especially the former (so hot!) and I think they'll be great. I can't wait until Netflix sends me my next disc.
Instant Star
Even though I have almost three seasons of Roswell and a season and a half of Brothers & Sisters to keep me occupied, I just haaaaad to start yet another tv show. Tommy/Jude have me hooked like no other. I can't remember the last time I fell in love with a ship like I've fallen for them. Not only do Alexz and Tim have so much chemistry, but the friendship between the two characters is amazing. They're so touchy and they have those looks and it's so OBVIOUS that they love each other like no other. I had a huge fangirl moment when Tommy admitted to his friend that he'd have a relationship with Jude 'in a heartbeat' if she was 21. That whole conversation made me jump up and down.
I was never a big fan of the Alexz music I heard but now that I've seen it in the context of the show, I kind of love it. Anyone want to upload me any of the soundtrack songs? Pleeeease? I'll repay you however I can.
04. Last call for Christmas cards! Go here to give me your address/get mine. I'll probably be sending them out this weekend (so you far-away people might get them a bit late depending on the speed of snail mail this year. Sorry!
05. Go enter the new challenge at choco_cherries! You know you want to ;)
