'...but do not dull thy palm with entertainment of each new-hatch'd unfledg'd comrade...'

My grandfather used to love this quote, we'd all groan but chime in. All I could ever remember was grappling with hoops of steel, lol.

I don’t know if this will make sense to anyone who doesn’t share my brain, but I have a theory. It occurred to me while I was ( Read more... )

Gossip girl is strangely addicting. Esp Blair makes it even more so.
The dude in Kyle XY looks exactly like James Lafferty from One Tree Hill.

Dude, I've gotten over my contempt for soaps in a big way. GG is love. Blair is the reason I watch, I always want her to pull it together and win the day but... sadly, no, she keeps getting one-upped. *sadface*

Ha, I just went and googled James Lafferty- there is a striking resemblance, I think it's the chiselled jaw, you know, the strong masculine features and all that. I'm such a sucker for that kind of thing. :D

Hehe me too...his jaws inspire me :p

*ponders* I never actually watched either of these shows. I can't quite swing the soapie type shows usually. But in random news, I found something I've been looking for for the past few months today: A download of the soundtrack for Fly Away Home.
Yes, I know. Totally random information that you didn't ask for. I really can't help it, it's such happy music :P

You know, I'd work on getting you into these shows, but I already did CM and am currently working on The Lost World, so...you have a reprieve. LOL.

[Though Kyle XY is really enjoyable. Soapies are usually a guilty pleasure but it has sci-fi concepts, dude. Note the lack of belly button in the promo pic? *nods significantly* What does that tell you?]

Btw, I want to recommend you check out this deleted scene from TLW. It's actually a collection of scenes, but the first one [about a minute long] is the only one that wasn't in the pilot, I think, and really the most important thing. I can't believe they sacrificed it when there was so much else they could've booted. *rolls eyes* It makes me giggle so much, and just shows how Marguerite and Roxton are destined to be together. *snickers* Totally. You can so feel the warmth and affection. *HOWLS WITH LAUGHTER* >:D

*smirky* Sure. But I love that icon for a lot of reasons. Mainly because I can totally see it as a Vala moment and it's starting to give me a plot bunny. Bwah.

[Yeah, I was wondering about that. Was he artificially grown or cloned or something? Or is he an alien? But I sometimes decide it's better not to ask. Now that you've mentioned it though...]

:D
Yeah, I watched that one a couple times actually. If anything, I can safely say that it's got that initial tension/"I don't want to like you, but I don't know I can help it" going on, which just gets me, alright?
Sooo.. Possibly I shall have to watch this show. *tries to resist the tug*

I'm pretty sure I'll need therapy if I were to watch True Blood, so I'm just not going there. Nope.

The 'dangerous' icon? Because I want to glee but I want to check before I do. ;P

And ohh, Vala fic? Well, I'm aiding and abetting that. Bunnies, attack! >:D

[If you really want to know...they toss around the alien idea for kicks and giggles but he was actually grown in a pod- apparently, the longer a person is in the womb, the more their brain develops and the smarter they are, so he's grow in a pod environment that simulates an artificial womb, which is why he's super smart and has powerzzz]

I'm trying not to be too excited at your reaction, but I'm pleased. Watching it a few times is a good sign, hee! Don't resist! Don't resist! :D

"I don't want to like you, but I don't know I can help itSee, you're not even a fan yet and you totally get this show, and the ship's dynamic. I'm so proud! *squishes ( ... )
