'cause he had sworn not to be what he had before, a remainder
01. I'm so glad it's the weekend! While I despise my hectic Mondays but I love that my weekend starts at 11AM on Wednesday. It makes for a chillaxed detox time... though I have a lot of homework and scholarship stuff that I should be working on right now. Maybe later.
02. Speaking of Wednesday, I had a date (!) Theodore took me out to lunch and then I went with him to buy textbooks and he walked me home and I invited him up to hang out and it was made of awesome. I really like him, guys. A lot. We're supposed to hang out again soon. *crosses fingers* Also, this probably makes me a horrible person, but I love the fact that my roommates think he's the hottest thing since sliced bread. They met him briefly and as soon as he left, they attacked me about why I hadn't told him he was so hot (I honestly didn't think they'd find him attractive). Apparently, they think he looks like a model (I don't necessarily agree but whatever). Cat told me that if I don't tap that, she will lol.
03. This piece of Gossip Girl casting has me so excited for a spin-off that I couldn't have cared less about a few days ago. I'm more excited about this then when David Anders was cast on Heroes, and I was fucking thrilled when that happened. ZOMG I CAN'T WAIT. I hope the episode rocks and that the spin-off gets picked up!!! The only downside is that that it would probably get a mid-season premiere, which sucks because I'm impatient. BUT YAH FOR KRYSTEN. That girl has so much stuff going on, I luff it.
04. I'm so glad I forgot there was a new Bones last night (and that it was this particular episode) because otherwise I would have been impatiently waiting all week. Instead, I didn't realize it until I saw all the episode thoughts popping up on my flist. It was a much better situation because I can be a lot more patient when I'm only waiting a couple of hours, rather than several days.
Bones
Overall, I was a little unimpressed but I think that's because it would be next to impossible to top Aliens in a Spaceship. I wasn't the biggest fan of the ghost but I think it was an effective way to keep things interesting. Because he was buried alone, there was no way for Booth to explain what he was doing without him sounding like a lunatic talking to himself. (I know he essentially still was but I do think the soldier was a better idea.) Plus, the dude was kind of cool. I liked that he said maybe he was there to keep Booth from repeating his mistake and not telling the woman he loved how he felt about her. I just wish there had been a slightly bigger moment of realization on both Booth and Bones part when they realized they love each other BECAUSE THEY TOTALLY DO.
The Gravedigger's identity was kind of expected in the way that it was someone involved with the case but unexpected in the way that it was a woman. My favorite part of the whole episode was Jared finally stepping up to the plate. Brennan just letting him have it without any sugarcoating was perfect. Totally in character and totally necessary. It was sad that he got arrested and lost his job, I hope something cool works out with that. I'd love to see him around more, if only because I think the character could make for some nice development and I want a more frequent does of Brendan Fehr. And more frequent instances of Bones kicking ass. THE BRIEFCASE PART WAS MADE OF WIN. I really need an animated icon of it that says something ghetto. It would be made of win.
Boo for the rest of the team being kind of boring and lame in this episode. There were no awesome bonding scenes that made me aww like usually.
05. Fic rec(s) of the day week:
• Meet the Parents. If you haven't read Jenn's other Nate/Mac fics (1, 2) you should do that too because they're all delightful and in character and made of win.
• Those Dark Places We Call Home is an awesome Nate fic. I read it because it was posted in the Nate/Jenny community but, while they are a part of it, it's so much more about Nate as a character and his relationship with Chuck and Blair. I love it to pieces.
• Anything at the THE CROSS-A-DRABBLE MEME! It started last week but it's still going strong so join in/leave feedback! Fun! Fun!
