I finally did a little research re:the shows I want to watch. Here's how it stands:
How I Met Your Mother (CBS - Mon 8:00)
The Big Bang Theory (CBS - Mon 9:30)
Dollhouse (Fox - Fri 9:00)
Glee (Fox - Wed 9:00)
Castle (ABC - Mon 10:00)
I dropped 30 Rock off the list, because I don't think I'll catch up this summer. But there doesn't seem to be any conflict right now. All that remains to be seen is how the Roommate feels about my TV schedule and whether or not I have any poorly-timed labs.
Also, Ellen has been watching HIMYM, lately. She bought season 3, watched about half, and then bought seasons 1 and 2 and started watching them with Jane.
Elle: we finished season 2
Kay: sweet
Kay: did you enjoy it?
Elle: yes!
Elle: except I am sad that Ted and Robin broke up... even though they were obs never meant for each other
Elle: ...but I am still sad
Elle: because I like Robin and Ted XD
Elle: but I like the dermatologist that Ted mini-dates in season 3
Elle: this show borders on too-cute sometimes, not gonna lie
Elle: ...and that's why I love it :3
Elle: OMG GAEL IS ENRIQUE EGLASIAS XDDDDDD?
Kay: XDDD YES HE IS
Elle: LOL THAT IS AWESOME
Elle: jane thinks it won't be stella =/
Kay: what, as the mom?
Elle: yes XD
Kay: well, it is how I MET your mother and not how I met, got to know, fell in love with, and married your mother
Elle: ....TRUE
Elle: whatevs
Elle: I LIKE STELLA D=
Elle: but we'll see
Elle: .-.
Kay: XD;
Kay: STELLA IS VERY IMPORTANT. DON'T WORRY
Elle: GOOD
Elle: SHE DOES REMOVE TED'S TRAMP STAMP. THAT IS PRETTY IMPORTANT
Kay: TED'S TRAMP STAMP WILL NEVER CEASE TO AMUSE ME
Elle: ME NEITHER
Elle: starting season three with jane =o
Elle: just so you're on the up-and-up =o
Kay: XD; thanks
Kay: I do enjoy your running commentary
Kay: Mom: Come on, Roscoe. Let's leave Kayla alone in her shame.
Me: I have no shame.
Mom: That's kind of what I like about you most.
Elle: XDDDDDD
Kay: where my shame gland should be, there's a second awesome gland =p
Elle: XDDDD and when you feel ashamed, you stop feeling ashamed and feel awesome? =o
Kay: true story =o
Elle: XDDD I'm so glad you said that. I love you more. let's get married in canada
Elle: then become teen pop stars there
I told you we use the 'XD' smilie a lot. A LOT.
Ellen goes to school in Canada. This makes Robin Sparkles and the like particularly hilarious for us.
Bonus non-TV related conversation:
Elle: question - do I want to take package design? =o;
Elle: because I'd have to take 3d design this year I think
Elle: or next year
Elle: because it's a prereq.
Kay: I remember in art class in middle school once, I had to recreate a cheez-its box =o
Elle: nice XD;
Elle: I was supposed to make a camera in ceramics last year, but I didn't =o;
Elle: XD;
Elle: also, thank you for your valuable input =o
Kay: I try
Also, I just finished a wedding-related fanfic I titled "A Nice Day," and White Wedding has been stuck in my head since then. Damn you, Billy Idol.
I'm working on a more gen-flavored fic now tentatively called, "The 7th Annual Scherbatsky-Stinson Laser Tag Team Tournament." And I swear, I will finish my Dr. Horrible fic someday.
