i'm losing my mind over you
Before we start talking about tv last night, we're going to talk about how awesome I am. *g*
So, my new kitchen is black. Like, the cabinets are black, the walls are black, the ceiling is black. I love and adore it. The far wall is totally bare, so before I moved in, I thought I would hit up etsy and try to find a big, abstract painting to fill the space and bring in a bit of color.
When I got down here, there was a lot of discussion and thought on my part about what artwork I wanted on my walls; I wanted a big print for my living room and I was going to see if I could find a pin-up girl. However, when we were out, I found the perfect thing for my living room, so I thought - I'll just use the pin-up girl for my kitchen.
Then my mother had the best idea ever - why not do multiple pin-up girls?
So I decided to cannabalize my calendar. This is the result.
Looking at it from the doorway.
A closer look. My favourite (though it is like picking between children) is the middle left; she's on the motorcycle. *g*
And can I just say what a pain it was? It's centered on the wall and it took FOREVER (measuring and penciling and getting them lined up and exactly 2 inches apart and on and on and on), but it was so SO worth it.
Sigh. I love it SO MUCH.
And now I guess it's time to talk about tv.
I have mixed feelings about the episode as a whole (was it just me or was it a bit TOO meta? And Britta saying she loved him, like for real and not to one-up Slater rang false.) but the end? Bring it on, dudes. As we all know, I'm a crazy Jeff/Britta shipper and this is just too perfect. Jeff and Annie have great chemistry, but they will never work together. Maybe in 10 years, but now? It's going to be a disaster because of several factors, but mainly because she hasn't grown up yet.
I can see, from his perspective, why that would be tempting. He pretty much laid out the whole thing (Slater = the man I want to be, Britta = the man I am, Annie = the man I should be) and, let's be honest - you are who you are. I'm not saying that people don't change or grow or improve, but at your basic, core level, you are who you are.
Jeff? Is an asshole.
He can be sweet and kind and wonderful, but he's also a raging douchebag.
And Britta? She can handle that shit and put him in his place.
With Annie, he is going to want to change but you can't, you can't, you can't change your fundamental self. And Annie is not going to be able to deal with the raging douchebag. He is going to feel awful and she is going to think it's her fault and it is going to be a disaster.
A disaster, I say.
And I, for one, can't wait.
(Also - getting Jeff/Annie out of the way early leaves the way open for a real Jeff/Britta relationship. *g*)
It so so so made me want to fic.
Fringe was also fantastic. *g*
