i feel all torn up

Posted on by

Do not read if you do not want to know about tonight’s episode of Dawson’s Creek.

So Love Bites tore me up. Seriously. I was teary for most of the episode. I can’t believe after all the crap it has put me through (see season 5), the darn show still has an effect on me. Damn it, I really am going to miss it when it’s gone. Only 5 more episodes.

I love Joey but can she get any more wishy-washy?!? The girl needs to learn to make a decision. I can’t for the life of me understand why she would lead Pacey on only to stomp all over his heart when Eddie comes back. Now, I don’t dislike Eddie (I actually thought they were cute during the Christmas episode) but the writers were the ones who dropped the ball. They could have left P/Jo dead and buried. I accepted that. But then 4 episodes ago, they brought up the possibility of P/Jo reuniting — and I really don’t want to let it go that easily.

But the storyline that had me bawling was Jen and Grams. It hit a little too close to home for me. And let me just say that Michelle Williams and Mary Beth Piel are amazing — their tight hug said it all.

Some quotes I liked:
Dawson: Pace, I think after all we’ve been through together that we don’t have to worry about it getting awkward.
Pacey: Well, yes, we’ve certainly been through awkward, but we’ve never been through “I’m broke and it’s all your fault.”

Patrick: Yeah, I don’t know why I should be taking advice from you. Like you’re some kind of Yoda when it comes to the chicks.
Pacey: Have you seen my date?
Patrick: Tell me more, Sensai.

Pacey: So what, you’re scared. Right? You’re scared. And so am I, believe me. And I’m scared because I don’t know where this thing is going, Jo. As in, I think it could go anywhere. This could be it.
Joey: It won’t be.
Pacey: How could you possibly know that? I mean, really. Last week, you’re onboard, and now you’re just psychically telling me that this could never be something great. You can’t possibly know that, because we don’t know that, Joey.

Pacey: Don’t tell me that you’re not scared, because I know that you are. I mean, I’ve known you too long and seen you push away too many good things to let you push me away right now. My whole life, Joey, my whole life you have been the most beautiful thing in my orbit. And my feelings for you were what proved to me that I could be great. And those feelings were stronger and were wiser and more persistent and more resilient than anything else about me.

Grams: Jennifer… I am not ready to die yet. Come here. (Waaahhhhhh!)

And did anyone see the preview for next week? They’re following up an emotionally heavy episode with THAT?!?

dc dvd’s

Got my Dawson’s Creek DVDs today! So very excited. I haven’t gotten the chance to watch them yet… saving that for the weekend so it’ll be a marathon along with the season 2 episodes that I’ll be taping the rest of this week.

Ok, going to make some screencaps of “The Dance” now — definitely one of my favorite s1 episodes. I loooove the Dawson/Jen scene at the end. “I want to be your boy adventure. ” Awww… back then, I wanted Dawson and Joey to realize their feelings for each other but I did love Dawson and Jen’s brief relationship as well. Sometimes I feel like the only person in the DC fandom who loved Jen in season 1. I know the writers set her up as “the obstacle” to Dawson and Joey but I never used that as a reason to dislike her — and since she’s my favorite character, it disappoints me to read all the blind hatred of her characters simply because she “got in the way.”

Anyway, if anyone else wants me to make them screencaps of certain scenes from my DC DVDs, I’d be happy to do so. I probably don’t have time to do entire episodes but short scenes are fine. 🙂

my poor ears

Posted on by

Gah, who decided it would be a good idea to have disco night on American Idol? Cause seriously, my ears are not happy. It was torture sitting through most of it. I did like Kim L, Clay and Ruben but everyone else was just… meh. I especially found Kim C and Josh to be completely boring — they didn’t hold my attention at all. I’m thinking they’ll both be in the bottom two tomorrow. Speaking of the results show, does anyone know if they’re actually going to eliminate someone now that Corey is gone? Or are they just going through the motions of the show and then let everyone breathe a sigh of relief when they find out they’ve all been given a free pass to the next round? Hmmm. I wouldn’t put the latter past the AI producers. And geesh, AI has been all about the scandal this year — Frenchie and her nude pictures, that one guy who was found to be connected to a murder, Trenyce’s sticky fingers, and now Corey’s charges for assault. Wow. Those AI/Fox people are really doing in-depth background checks. Damn.

Anyway, is it just me or do other people also get emotional (for the lack of a better word) when they hear sad things about the personal lives of celebrities? I just read a short article about Jennifer Garner and Scott Foley splitting up and it made me so sad. I find them to be such a delightful couple — in interviews, they come across as very loving and supportive. It’s unfortunate that their work, if the speculation in the article is true, had to come between them. 🙁

it begins

Posted on by

Did anyone catch the pilot episode of Dawson’s Creek tonight? Ahhh, so many good memories came back. The pilot is definitely one of my most favorite episodes — I can’t wait for the DVDs! There were so many awesome quotes —

“Did you notice the long fingers?”

“I like your hair color — what number is that?”

“I reject reality.” (This is my favorite scene in the entire episode — Dawson/Jen rock!)

“You did it again — you grabbed me ass.” “Like you even have one.”

“Please, years ago. To a trucker named Bubba.”

Fun stuff — what happened to those snarky characters?!? Dawson, Jen, Pacey and Joey just seemed more genuine and real back then. *sigh*

Ok, some more answers to your questions…

What would you rather be? Deaf or blind? Why?
I would rather be deaf. With the power of sight, I don’t think I would feel as detached from everything. I would be able to see the people I love and communicate with them through written word. I would be able to watch TV with the subtitles on. And I would be able to read books, which is something that I love to do.

Were you in any clubs or on any sports teams in high school? if so, what team(s)/club(s)?
I didn’t play any sports, ie. soccer, basketball. But I was on the dance team as a freshman and for the last three years of HS, I was on the pep squad as a Songleader. My other major extracurricular activity was the filipino club — I was heavily involved as a junior and as a senior when I took the office of Dance Troupe Coordinator. We held an annual show featuring skits and cultural dances and I was responsible for putting it together. Both these activities are some of my most favorite memories from high school. Look at me, I’m getting all nostalgic!

What do you think of this war?
To be quite honest, I’m not the most informed citizen. I don’t watch the news as often as I should and even then, the news broadcasts I do watch tend to focus more on local news rather than national or foreign news. I guess I function in my own little bubble — which I’m not proud to admit. I *should* know what’s going on and I don’t — it’s only now that the war has actually started that I’ve been scouring the net for articles and stories. Anyway, to answer the question — I really don’t know what to think. I’m not anti-war but I’m not pro-war either. I understand the motive behind it but I don’t understand why there can’t be another resolution. One that won’t leave me feeling depressed after watching the news or after seeing the pained face of my boss whose husband just got activated. It’s pretty terrifying.

These questions are definitely keeping me on my toes! More questions — more! 🙂

i miss alex

Posted on by

I miss Alex. Why’d the Roswell writers have to go and kill him off? *sniff*

I had forgotten how his death signaled the coming of seriously unrecognizable characters (read: Liz and Max) and some really cringe-worthy episodes leading up to the s2 finale. I completely disliked “It’s Too Late and It’s Too Bad.” It leaves me with such a bad taste in my mouth. For one, I don’t like Max and Tess. Separately, yes. Together, not so much. I actually really like Tess (even though she killed Alex… grr) but I never saw a single ounce of chemistry between her and Max. Secondly, I detest one-track-mind Liz — she just seems so irrational, always reacting and yelling. She bothers me so much.

I didn’t think it was possible but I love Michael and Maria more now than I did back when the show first aired. Today’s rerun was “Baby, It’s You” — and I was “awww-ing” when Michael told Maria to call him at the first sign of danger. So cute.

Gah, I can’t believe I’m still addicted to this show. Damn reruns! I don’t really have anything else to blog about though. I just may have to take a page from Angie’s book and have you guys ask me questions! lol. Seriously. Ask away.

faith rocks

Posted on by

I watched Angel last night. And I just may watch it again.

To be quite honest, I’ve never really been interested in the show. I watched a few episodes when it first started but then it kept changing nights (damn WB!) and I just never followed it. But I heard Faith was coming back so I had to tune in — and wow, I really liked it! 🙂 Didn’t really know what the hell was going on — reign of fire? The Beast? Angel has a kid? Cordy is evil? What?!? — but I still enjoyed it cause… well, Faith rocks. And Wesley rocks. And Gunn is cute. And Angelus isn’t so bad either. hee. I’m in love with Faith/Wesley and Faith/Gunn — pretty much anyone and Faith is good to me. 😛

I’m listening to Loveline right now — only because my boyfriend Joshua Jackson is a guest! Love him… and his voice. *sigh* But seriously, some of these callers are freaking me out. ::shudders::

Doing the Friday Five:

1. What was the last song you heard? Big Blue Sea by Bob Schneider. I’m currently in love with this song — it reminds me of Pacey and Joey stuck in K-Mart!

2. What were the last two movies you saw? Daredevil and Unfaithful… both pretty mediocre movies, imo.

3. What were the last three things you purchased? Hmmm… 1) zucchini soup at the San Francisco Soup Company for lunch, 2) caramel macchiato from Starbucks for the morning pick me up and 3) a tank top/camisole thingy from the Gap.

4. What four things do you need to do this weekend? Definitely 1) vacuum my apartment, 2) do my laundry, 3) buy groceries! I have no food!, and 4) finish watching my Buffy s3 DVDs. Pretty exciting weekend to look forward to, lol.

5. Who are the last five people you talked to? My boyfriend Rob, my trainer Carol, my bosses Kathleen and Lorene and my co-worker Ava. It’s all about work for me these days. Boo.

buffy marathon

Posted on by

I finally bought the Buffy season 3 DVDs. *happy sigh*

And I spent a good part of today watching the first 8 episodes. I had forgotten how much I love this season — Faith rocks, Xander/Cordy rock, Spike’s return in “Lover’s Walk” rocks, and the Mayor is quite possibly my most favorite Big Bad of the entire series.

no more buffy

Posted on by

What in the world am I going to do with myself next year? First, it was the Countdown to Goodbye for Dawson’s Creek and now it’s bye bye Buffy too! My two most favorite shows… *sniff*

not jordan!

Posted on by

Just wanted to say… No! Not the cute guy! 🙁

I just finished watching my tape of American Idol and I’m sad to see Jordan go. I mean, he’s Asian, he has a somewhat pleasant voice, and… he’s cute! As in very. hee.

I need some eye candy in the top 10. But no, America has gone and voted him off. Does no one want me to watch this show?!? Cause seriously, I remember being more excited about AI last season — the current season’s singers just aren’t doing anything for me.

castaways

Posted on by

Eeeee!!! I can’t speak. Too happy. 🙂 So. Much. P/Jo. Cuteness. “Castaways” was one of those episodes that went by way too fast — I seriously looked at the clock at about 8:50 and was like, “What?!? Only 10 more minutes? More P/Jo!” I loved every single moment of the episode, even if it was a bit cheesy and contrived (I mean, come on, getting locked in K-Mart?). After all, they talked about their past! That’s cause for celebration right there — couples on this show are notorious for not resolving anything. I’m glad that TPTB are letting these two crazy kids have a second chance (I hope, anyway). And continuity! It’s good to see you again! The writers actually remembered moments of P/Jo’s history (ie. Pacey teaching Joey how to drive). Will wonders never cease.

::sigh:: Some of my favorite quotes:

— Joey: “Unless you take me home now, right now, I think little miss thing isn’t going to be so interested when your sister gives you the tongue kissing of your life.” BWAH!

— Pacey: “A beautiful woman did just offer to have sex with me – no strings attached.”
Joey: “You’re so cute when you’re delusional.”

— Joey: “What the hell is happening to my butt right now?”
Pacey: “That would be the seat warmer that comes standard on all your finer German automobiles.”
Joey: ” Well, my lower half thanks you for moving so far up the socioeconomic ladder.”

— Pacey (about their argument): “We could live for a thousand years and we would never finish this.”

— Joey: “Regular or menthol?”
Pacey: “Are we smoking or shaving?”

— Joey: “Hello chin! You’re back.” (That’s my personal favorite in the entire episode). hee.

— Pacey: “If the next words out of your mouth are ‘Take out the trash,’ I will officially have a preview of what it would be like to be married to you.”

— Joey: “I was going to say — Did you know…?”
Pacey: “Did I know what?”
Joey: “This was a dream come true.”

How am I going to wait until April for the next episode?!? I hate rerun hell.
