Sex, Drugs and Klosterman

May 04, 2007 12:23

Something weird always happens to me when I read/listen to Chuck Klosterman books. I start to develop a strange hero-worship for him. Like, I'm literally convinced that he is the funniest/most observant/cleverest/most eloquent man on the planet. However, this is only true while I'm actually reading/listening to him. I think he's hilariously funny, very observant, clever and insanely eloquent, no matter if I'm reading him or not. But in the time I actually hold his books in my hand, I literally think he is the incarnation of cleverness and eloquence. And the weirdest thing about it is that the fact that I am fully aware of the fact that it is a) a complete overstatement and b) absolutely temporary doesn't change my hero-worship itself in the slightest.
In conclusion: Read Chuck Klosterman, he's funny, clever, eloquent and observant.

What the hell? Is that supposed to be Ginny in the back there? I don't know who else it is supposed to be, but it sure as hell isn't Bonnie Wright. O.o

Adorable Ugly Betty icons from 1x20.

Map of Online communities. Kind of awesome.

Gilmore Girls has been canceled. While I actively despised this season, actually didn't watch much of it at all, but it still makes me a tiny bit sad because I used to LOVE this show a lot. Don't get me wrong, I'm not sad that it's ending, because it has been getting worse and worse for at least the last 2 seasons. I'm rather sad about the fact that I'm not sad about it, because it reminds me of how uninterested I have become in this once-great show.

Animated version of the Bayeux Tapestry. Awesome nerdy fun.

How is it even remotely possible that no one has made usable icons of Zach's hair in Five Years Gone yet?? I really can't believe it! I may try and make some myself out of frustration.

While we're speaking of icons, the Jim/Pam icon I'm using right now is one of the prettiest things ever.


Veronica Mars 3x16 Un-American Graffiti
So... I don't know where to start. KEITH VERSUS ALCOHOL DUN DUN DUUUN was probably one of the most annoying thing in a long time. It was just all so pointless. First of all, and I've had this debate with many different people while I was in the states, if they would lower their legal drinking age to something somewhat reasonable, things like that would not happen! I'm not saying there are no alcohol-related accidents and deaths here, but if alcohol is not illegal, if people wouldn't need to sneak around and get fake ID's and what-not, then some of the kick would be gone. It would no longer be considered and "achievement" of a kind to get in anywhere and get drunk, because it would be legal.
The second issue I had with this storyline is that it is completely ridiculous to imply that the accident had been a) less sad and b) more or less his fault/ responsibility if the guy had been TWO YEARS OLDER! If you don't know not to stumble drunkenly on a street may get you run over by the time you're 19, you probably won't know it by the time you're 21 either.
And while that cop was definitely a jackass and deserved something, FIRING FOUR PEOPLE IS A LITTLE EXTREME!
And THEN there is the thing that pissed me off most about this storyline, which was the ZOMG LAMB WAS TEH EVIL!!!-part.
Look RT, we KNOW that he took bribes. We have seen him take bribes ONSCREEN AGES AGO! WE KNOW! Bringing it up now and treating it like a huge shocking surprise is both useless and insulting! You already killed the guy for no reason and in a completely stupid way, you do not need to remind us every week that he was OMG EVIL and Keith is OMG BETTER!
WE KNOW HE WAS CORRUPT! That is not why people were and still are upset about his death! WE ALSO KNOW that Keith will make a better sheriff and a generally nice and very awesome guy. But sending him on pointless and cliché vendettas is NOT a way to illustrate this point. I realize that the fact that his ex-wife is an alcoholic would make him sensitive about the matter, but.. still. *le eyeroll*
I accepted the jibe at Lamb in 3x15 when Keith was being noble about arresting Landry in class. It was something Keith would do, and it was a nice moment, even though it was a bit too LOOK HOW BADLY LAMB WOULD HAVE HANDLED THIS! COMPARE IT TO LAST WEEKS ARREST IN CLASS for my taste. But still, that was an acceptable contrasting of the two. But THIS? Was just poorly done and, I'll say it again, insulting. To both the fans and the characters.
The one good thing I have to say about it is that it brought us the very cute and funny moments of Wallace, Piz and Keith interaction, all of which were golden and perfect.

See, the thing is that I still deeply love these characters. I just hate what the writers are currently doing to them.

I don't have much to say about the CotW except for that I was surprised that I didn't hate it
as much as I had expected from seeing the opening scene on the CW website. I did think it was cheesy, but it was tolerable.

So let's get right down to the other big thing in this ep: Pizronica. First, let me say that if you're official shipper-name sounds like a fucking Pasta-dish? It is not a good sign!
See, I have several different issues with them becoming a ship. First of all, as I have said many times before, there is the fact that Piz is not V's type. Again, don't get me wrong, I LOVE him and would take him in a second. He is exactly the kind of guy I would fall for. But V? Not so much.
Then we have the OMG!MAGIC KISS OF LOVE-REVEALING!, which was just... well the kiss was kind of cute on Piz's side because he is so pretty and adorable, but it is just ridiculous on V's side. The one good thing this brought us so far was that Wallace (who had more than 20 seconds of screen time!!! alert the media!!) FINALLY told her to quit messing with Piz's head, which was looooooooooooooooooooooong overdue. This, unfortunately, led to more messing with his head. I really wonder how Wallace will take this, because I would think that he knows her well enough to know they couldn't work.

And let me say that this has nothing to do with the fact that LoVe USED to be my OTP. At this point, I honestly don't want them together. Hey, I fully support Logan/Parker, even if it leads to scary scary cakes and cheesy party-speeches. At least she makes him happy and lets him make her happy!

But the thing that pisses me of most about this thing? Is that it makes me hate Veronica. And I used to LOVE her so much!! She was literally my favorite female lead character, probably even surpassing Buffy. She was never perfect, and there have been many times where I wanted to hit her over the head before, but I always loved her. But ever since this season started, that love has turned first into annoyance, then into active dislike and now it's only getting worse.
Because WE KNOW that she will end up hurting him. I would think that there is no way they will end the series with them together. If they do go through with the insanely ridiculous "FBI-years" thing, we know that KB is the only one who would be in that thing, so obviously they would not stay together anyway. And the fact that we pretty much already know for a fact that she will break his adorable little heart makes me hate her, and that makes me hate the writers.

*sigh* The good thing about this ep is that I watched it with my friend Katharina and we're planning to watch the remaining episodes together as well, and that is wonderful even if the eps suck. I've never watched a new VM ep with anyone. ♥


Lost 3x19 The Brig as it happens
Lost.

Hi Dick in a box.

Aaaaaw, actual Skate action. Oh, hi Sawyer's gun.

You're blow-up-everything-that-can-get-us-off-the-damned-island-tour.

Yeaaaaaaah, Locke, sure that's Benry. I am veeeeeery sure. Not at all your father.

LOL wtf Locke flirting? Oh hi Juliet's message.

Male bonding. :D Your way off this island. Yeah, this is gonna end well.

lol you should have put some shoes on :D

Jesus, Locke, sensitive much?

When you hear what he has to say. Because... he'll try and talk you into killing him?

YAY TRUST SAYID! *lol* the look on his face when he realized Hurley wanted something :D

Aaaaaw, Desmond's little nod of approval. :)

Naomi is quite pretty. And has a pretty awesome accent.

So the bodies were there. Creepy. Mate! Remind me not to rescue you :D Damn, bitchy.

Hi iPhone. *lol* I've never seen equipment this sophisticated :D Is it really clever to sit there out in the open with it?

yeeees, and I'm sure you're not working for Ben.

You do speak English :D

Okay, if this seriously is purgatory, I will have to kill somebody. I mean, seriously, if it is, it would be ridiculous to reveal that now after they kept saying they would need 5 seasons to end it the way they wanted.

*lol* Don't tell me what I can't do. Oh Benry you sneaky Bastard.

Unless you're carrying your father's body on your back... jesus this show is fucked up sometimes.

A million icons will be made from this scene.

The letter. Oh Sawyer. *tear*

So, it is understandable that Daddy is not scared of much if he's actually convinced that he's in hell. OH NO HE DIDN'T!

Woah, Sawyer.

Oh KATE, what the hell. I mean, of course the first thing she does is tell Jack. What the hell.

We should tell her. No. LOL yeah, and she's not gonna want to know what the hell that was about.

Oooh, sneaky, taking the Julietogram with you.

Uhm. Eeeeeeew. can't you at least drag him? Not carry him by his head????

Okay, so the Sawyer scenes were AMAZING obviously. Kate is ridiculously stupid and Jack is an ass. But we knew that. Also, obviously the secret between Jack and Juliet is that Kate's pregnant, right?

Quick comment on
Scrubs:
It was so sad. Seriously. So. very. sad. Poor poor J.D. *hugs* I actually like Keith/Elliot, but J.D.!!! ;______________________;

Yeah, I've watched a lot of TV this week :D Now if only my Supernatural-torrent will HURRY THE HELL UP SO I CAN FIND OUT WHY MY ENTIRELY FLIST IS SQUEEING ABOUT IT!

Which reminds me, has everyone read the Supernatural Comic yet? Because is it very very awesome!!! Honestly, so much squee, I completely loved it!!!!

Oh, and has anyone seen this scene from next week's Heroes? asfjsdf;ssfjh THEY ARE SO CANON XD

All righty, I gotta get to work in a couple of hours, hopefully I'll get to see SPN before that. Tonight there will be a sneak preview movie and then later Daniel and I will go to a club, I'll just have to work out the timing since I work until ten, the movie after that and the club is in another city, so I probably won't get there until 1 am or so even if I take the car, which poses the question whether I should leave the car there so I can drink or take it home and spare me about 1,5 hours of walking to stations and train-rides. Hm. Will have to decide later.

Anyways, bye lovelies. Have some awesomeness before I leave.
