AT LEAST, WORDS WISE. LOOK AT ME ON FRIDAY NIGHTS MAKING SPAMS. MY LIFE IS AWESOME. Mainly because what I do on Fridays is vegetate when I don't have to babysit. It feels soooooooooooooo good. Like my brain is leaking out of my ears, but in the best way possible. I catch up on television, I tell myself that I'll do homework but I won't and then won

I've been watching Bones this season, but I haven't seen this week's episode, so I appreciate the non-spoilery (and lovely!) picspam! I have no idea what Bones and Booth are talking about in the second part, but it looks serious! Those two, always with the looks and the longing. and oh my goodness, that first cap of Sweets! So cute.

Oh my gosh, your ICON. It is ridiculously gorgeous. /sidenote. How are you feeling about this season so far? I've been hearing so many different things and I'm not quite sure what I feel and it always helps to discuss it with other people, so hopefully when you get the chance you can share some ideas. And I hope you didn't see the Chuck spam re: the non-spoilery-ness of the Bones one because the Chuck one is definitely spoilery since I know you haven't been watching it (which sucks! and I guess this leads me to ask you, how long will you be in London, and what are you there for? I'm curious partly because I am nosy, teehee, and also because there is a 95% chance I'll be studying in Cambridge--which is obviously not London, but--for the summer so, yes, I would love to hear about any details you would like to share!) ... um, OH YES, so I hope you didn't click on the Chuck one because it is definitely spoilery

Isn't it so pretty?! There are a few more here. I'm liking this season so far! To be honest, I've never been all that emotionally invested in Bones. It's a very safe show for me - I'm invested in the characters, I should say that, but it's not one of those shows that I must watch every week and can't miss. I'm still not sure how I feel about Hannah. I like her, but I wish they'd develop her a little more, I'm still not sure what Booth saw in her or why he fell in love with her. I hope they develop Bones/Hannah a little more, too, I see potential in that. So, I like this season, but I kind of always like Bones? If that makes sense. I did not get spoiled by the Chuck picspam! I couldn't looking at it, but then I stayed away! I appreciate the concern, but you have nothing to worry about

Thank you for the link alskaj;f that whole post is ridiculously gorgeous.

That's generally how I started to feel about Bones because other shows began to be the ones I was super emotionally invested in, but Bones was my first... super fandom-y experience, I guess? so when the show is kind of... I mean, apparently a general fandom opinion is that the show started to go downhill after S3. I never felt that way, and I don't really have standards for Bones (okay, I have no standards when it comes to TV at all; when I'm bored I watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians, so) because it is definitely a safe show for me as well, but then something is... off. I mean, it still is charming--the last episode was one of my favorites. I don't know, it might be because I have no idea what I feel for Hannah. I want to still give her a chance, but there's something that's... off about her and Booth's relationship?! (I think I have to add that I don't ship Booth/Brennan hardcore, though I would love to see them together)... ACK. I JUST DON'T KNOW. It

I've heard other people mention that fandom opinion about the show going downhill after S3, but my relationship with Bones is such that that doesn't really mean anything to me? I could not tell you what happened in season three or four or one or five, I can't distinguish that way with this show. I agree that there's something missing or just off about Booth and Hannah's relationship, it sort of lacks substance. I still haven't watched last week's episode, so I don't know about the sunglasses thing, I just meant I like that they seem to have a bit of a rapport? That Hannah is making an effort to be friendly with Bones, and Bones isn't trying to sabotage Hannah or be mean to her or anything. I like Booth and Brennan as a couple a lot more than I used to? Or rather, I "root" for them more as a couple than I used to? I used to really not be all that into their being a couple, I liked them just as they were, but it's getting to that point where you just start to question how long they can be kept apart. But as long as they continue to make

AHH well let me know your thoughts whenever you end up watching last week's! This week's, just so you know, I think was overall just a pretty good return to what is great with the general fandom, and so it was just good. It is true, though, that what Hannah and Bones have is a pretty good basis for a solid friendship--I mean, they're really similar in their independent, fierce kind of ways. I just wish there was more? But I mean, Hannah wasn't even in this week's episode, so! AGH, I am just not sure how I feel sometimes at ALL. (OBVIOUSLY)

Stockholm sounds so amazing! And I'm glad that London has just been great overall, thank you so much for your input!!

Oh my goodness, that link--that picspam, those shots (your icon!!). I'm in love. I just added it to my Netflix DVD queue; I probably won't have time to watch it until Thanksgiving, but I'm excited!!

I still haven't watched last week's episode (but I'm about to)! I tend to get really behind on Bones. But it's a good catch-up show, because it's quite comforting despite it being about murders. It's always weird when a show brings in a guest actor to play a main character's girlfriend/boyfriend and then s/he only appears every other episode? It's always like, "SO AND SO HAS A GIRLFRIEND! HUGE DEAL! OMG!" and then it's as if the show has sort of forgotten about the character. IDK.

Stockholm is great; if you have an opportunity to travel when you're in Cambridge, I definitely recommend it, especially in the summer.

It's a really beautiful film; I ended up making picspams of quite a few scenes! I think Thanksgiving is a good time to watch it, actually. I hope you enjoy it whenever you do get around to watching it. I'm always worried I'll hype a film or TV show I really like, and then someone else will watch it and just go, "It was okay, I guess."

[sleuths]

OH MAN, seriously about the whole forgetting about the boyfriend/girlfriend! It's weird, but idk. I was talking about this to someone else about Castle because the same kind of thing happened, and we figured that it was just because people are refusing to write angst nowadays. I am a HUGE fan of angst (and then the happily ever after!) but I JUST LOVE ANGST, and I feel like so much can be explored, but NO ONE DOES IT NOW. It is tragic. BUT I DIGRESS. How did Bones go for you?!

I hope that I do get to travel around! And oh man, I worry about that all the time whenever I recommend something to someone, especially because I am never particularly restrained about my feelings about things that I recommend, so it is always like FLKAJSD;AF THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING YOU WILL EVER SEE EVER and then of course no one ever has close the amount of feelings that I do so I am slowly learning what to recommend to people and to what degree I should be expressing my recommendation SLOWLY BUT SURELY.
