I'm alive! ALIIIIIIVE!!!
Hi, I'm the worst. (That's, like, the opening line of far too many of my posts from this year.) But seriously, how is everyone?
So, first me. I start my new job TOMORROW. Yikes! I haven't worked in over a year! I'm nervous, I'm excited...I'll be working at a med spa in Boston, I have the exact same commute as I used to have (fifteen minutes, maybe not even).
I'm going to be doing all kinds of laser treatments- hair reduction, tattoo removal, veins, pigment. I'm also doing a body contouring treatment called vaser shape- it heats and destroys fat cells in targeted areas. And then there's the esthetics- hydrafacials and peels. I'm such a nerd about this stuff. I can't wait.
Anyway! FANDOM!
[+] New Girl is on, and it's making me smile on a continuous loop. Like, I could very easily start a marathon of that show every day and never be bored of it.
Jess and Nick, fuck, they are hot. I love how...easy Nick is with her. If there's a downside to this storyline, I feel like we get a lot more of Nick's perspective than Jess's, but to be fair,
I feel like that's the whole show.
Schmidt...It just SUCKS, because Max Greenfield plays him in such a lovely, charming way, but oh my gosh is he a nightmare right now. I'm actually somewhat rooting for him to really be with Elizabeth, but not really, because she doesn't deserve the shit he's pulling right now. Why not Cece, you ask? I really like them the most as exes who aren't exactly best friends, but get each other in an almost unhealthy way, and every once in a while, backslide into some drunken sex.
Winston. Please, let's do something with him. I'm looking forward to Coach.
[+] Grey's is...I don't know. Annoying me. The one big thing that I thought I was going to get behind this year, knowing that Sandra Oh is out, was the April/Jackson storyline and I'm confused by it. It's being written now like April/Matthew and Jackson/Stefanie are the Real Couples, and...why? I mean, I'm ten seasons in, I won't give up now, but right now, kind of the best part for me is Derek, Meredith and their kids. Alex/Jo is a nightmare I'm pretending isn't happening. And I was just never interested in this kind of storyline with Callie and Arizona. I've heard people complaining about this, and had never really seen it, but it just props Callie way too much.
[+] Downton! I know I'm not supposed to, but I'm loving this season.
I'm unsure of what the point of Nanny West was, unless she's coming back later this season. One thing that I wish had happened, which would have given her more of a purpose would have been if Mary found her using that EVIL tone of voice with little Sybbie. If that could have been something to shock her out of her depression, it would have made a little more sense. And this past episode, Rose's interlude at the...night club (?), that gardener she met, he was ADORABLE, and I would be interested in seeing something develop, where she has to keep running downstairs to do a quick change into a maid's uniform. Oh, and I am shipping Tom and Mary. Sorry. Like I said, I'm the worst.
[+] I want to give The Originals a try, even though I don't think I'll ever go back to Vampire Diaries. I'm going to watch the s1 recap of Arrow on Wednesday, and just try to catch the actual episodes when the dvd's go on sale, or if it ever comes to Netflix. And I want to try those shows Reign and Tomorrow People. (Wow, CW much?)
[+] Then, I just saw this, and if you can believe it, this bloodbath sent me into a fit of emotions that almost had me tearing up:

[+] Also, while looking over old docs, I found this little bit about Alcide and Sookie, from three years ago, but now I kind of want to expand it, except I have no idea where I was going:
They’re both simple people. They wanted simple things, and a simple life.
It should have been easy together.
They were great for six months. Alcide slowly started taking more jobs around Bon Temps. He fixed things up around the house that Jason couldn’t get to by himself. Sookie started to get used to cooking for a man - it turned out it was something she really, really loved to do.
The first full moon, he left at sundown, and a couple of hours later, she heard a scratching at the door.
