*flutters by*
I've had an entry open for two days now. Did I mention it was spring break for the kidlet? Yeah. Next week I'll just be gone on vacation, but this week... home with a highly bored, highly energetic little kid. He doesn't want to go to bed or sleep either (he's usually a pretty good sleeper, but not this week).
But despite this, we had our parent teacher conference for the middle term and found that I have the most amazing child in all of kindergarten. Or, y'know, words to that effect. :)
In dumb project news, I've been trying to finally get "Meteor Storm" off my DVR by saving it to disk. I was hoping I could connect to the DVR and grab the VOB or whatever file it is, but my computer won't talk to it. boo. So I video captured the movie, and it inexplicably saved at mediocre resolution. The whole POINT of making my own was to do a high-def version for pretty caps. I'm full of technological ineptness this week. bah So I'm kind of watching it again, as I cut it: the premise is still ridiculous, but it's watchable and pretty. Really, it could be worse.
(in Skiffy Movie news, I am CRUSHED to discover that Misha Collins' Skiffy Saturday spectacular Stonehenge Apocalypse doesn't air until at least June, looks like. BOO. C'mon, STONEHENGE APOCALYPSE... how can that not be awesomely bad?)
(three zillion years later in this tab... Kidlet didn't go down until almost 10. ARRRRGH)
THERE WAS TEEVEE.
Justified continues to rock my world -- it's such a nice change of pace to have crooks be actual small time criminals and dirtbags working the angles and betraying each other for five g's, rather than (a) criminal masterminds or (b) serial killers, like most cop shows. It's light-hearted and obviously the drama's heightened, but in some ways, it feels more grounded in reality (than, say, a show like Castle which is fun, too, but very teevee-ish). Three eps in, I'm still liking it (and I have a notoriously short attention span).
Before that, there was LOST.
SUN AND JIN. Both looking very hot. (or um, body-doubled in the case of Yunjin Kim unless that was quite the Wonderbra, but still that was a great scene). Jin almost crying over pictures of Ji-Yeon, omg. How cold of Paik to make Jin carry his own death payment -- though, dude, you could hire a killer in Korea, couldn't you? Though I gather Keamy's worked for him for awhile. Oh no, not AU!Sun! Though she's either going to meet Jack or Juliet in the hospital, I'm guessing.
Loved Sun's rant on the Island and how she didn't buy Flocke for one single moment (although, at the time, he was actually telling the truth, amusingly enough). Actually Jin didn't either -- he was just waiting until Flocke went away to try to escape before Widmore grabbed him.
Also great: Richard's re-energized take-charge-ness. And Jack being so sweet with Sun. Claire being all -- "Do you mind if I kill Kate soon?" heh.
Okay, so Widmore is not in cahoots with Smokey after all. I think. Given the scene at the pylons seems likely anyway. So he told Jin what he believes to be true: that if Smokey leaves the Island none of their loved ones will exist, which sounds bad. Except it might be referring to Sideways Verse? Maybe. Unless the Sideways verse is what happens if the whole thing resets with a new candidate. They do seem connected in some way, and I'm still pretty sure they're the epilogue of the story, but hard to say still.
I dvr'd V and hopefully I'll get a chance to watch tomorrow.
