This week (or "this installment", more like), I'm going to recommend a song by singer/songwriter Brandi Carlile. I've become recently obsessed. I mean, I've really enjoyed it over the past few weeks but in the last couple days I've been listening to it a hell of a lot. It's the song Hard Way Home off of her new album Bear Creek. It's wonderfully ( Read more... )

I'm so tempted to just use this championing to champion Grey's Anatomy because I'm so hardcore into this show and Thursday's penultimate episode of the season almost killed me. But I won't.

Instead, I'm going to champion a reason why the episode nearly killed me.

Okay, so, many people say that music on Grey's Anatomy functions as another character. I ( Read more... )

Okay, so these are poorly named because I definitely don't do it weekly, but go with what you've got.

So I'm sitting here with fierce menstrual cramps (yeah, I said it), listening to some tunes, hoping my medication kicks in so I can go out for a run. (Did I mention I've joined a Gaelic Football team and I desperately need to be in shape for it?)

But ( Read more... )

Okay, so my plans are not what I thought they were going to be this evening (though I guess they still could be but I don't think it's going to happen) but I'm actually so tired that I took an hour long nap. Which is practically unheard of for me. I suppose the pressure of having to plan lessons for school keeps me jittery and awake on weekend and ( Read more... )

I am seriously neglectful of my Xena reviews. Again, I don't know why I feel compelled to apologize, because I don't think anyone reads them, but, just in case anyone is reading this who does read them, I'll review the second act of the Norse Trilogy next weekend. (I spent the night at the airport last night . . . Mostly zoning on Sara Ramirez, ( Read more... )

 You guys, I couldn't get into Livejournal for days. And I thought maybe it was an issue with my browser, so I switched over to Safari (I use Firefox) and, lo and behold, I was able to log on.

I wrote this huge review for Seeds Of Faith, an excellent episode that had some great things to say. And I went to post it and . . . the connection timed out.

I'm due to get disc 2 of Rizzoli & Isles today from Netflix, so I want to write this review way earlier than I would normally so that I can inch even closer to finishing up season four and still have time to watch my episodes so I can turn it in and get disc three for Friday, which will catch me up for season two which starts next week.

My life is ( Read more... )

I'm championing tonight! Wow! It's been a while! I should try to be more militant with my championing, I know. I should be better with it. But what can I say? I'm really that lazy.

But I think this week's championing is pretty good. It's music, which is fun, right? I don't often champion music.

I'm giving a shout out to the album Whokill by the band ( Read more... )

Here it is! After, like, a million years of waiting for the right time to review it and after fighting a sudden onslaught of May allergies yesterday after going for a run and after deciding I rather wanted to read Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games instead of writing, well, anything, I'm ready!

Yay!

I'm so pumped! This episode is like ( Read more... )

This week I'm going to champion some music. I was cruising AfterEllen a few weeks ago, as I'm known to do, and came across a review for the band Uh Huh Her. I wasn't even going to read it until I noticed Leisha Hailey's picture and when I saw it I was like, "Alice! I miss you!" Because even The L Word dissolved into the biggest shit show of all ( Read more... )
