tuesday TV craziness

OMG. Tuesday night TV was craaazzzyyy. My head is still spinning.

American Idol
*snooze* Seriously. I don’t particularly like any of the remaining contestants but if I had to choose, I’d pick LaToya and Diana as the final two. I can’t stand Fantasia (there’s just something about her that really grates on my nerves) and the only thing Jasmine has been good at is being consistently bad. I miss George Huff. *sniff*

One Tree Hill
OH. MY. GAWD. Can’t really form coherent thoughts so just some quick comments/observations…
— The flashback action in the beginning was really annoying. Gah.
— Lucas and Nathan are *so* my new OTP. Heh. Loved all of their scenes together. They’ve come so far since the pilot. And Lucas called Nathan “little brother.” Aww.
— Not enough Peyton.
— Is Brooke really not holding a grudge anymore? I say she still is. I just can’t believe she’d get over her anger *that* quickly.
— Please please Nikki be gone.
— Scared Haley is a cute Haley.
— What in the world is wrong with Whitey? Not just eye surgery, hmm?
— Keith and Deb did WHAT?
— Dan had a… WHAT?
— Nathan and Haley got WHAT?!?
*dies*

Got my Friends finale DVD! It was only $6.99 at Best Buy — score! Can’t wait to check out the extended scenes…

the day is done

So I’m torn. I can’t say I *loved* the Everwood season finale but I didn’t hate it either…

Madison. Why did they have to bring her back? I thought we were rid of her! And for a pregnancy storyline?!? *bangs head* UGH. All the relationships on this show are headed for a kick in the pants once this secret is revealed (and you know it will be). So I guess the storyline isn’t a waste. Doesn’t mean I have to like the way the tension was brought about. And I am *so* disappointed in how Dr. Brown chose to handle Madison’s news. Ephram is going to be extremely upset once he finds out. I’m cringing just thinking about the potential of another season of tension at the Brown house. As for Madison, I found myself feeling incredibly sorry for her. I mean, who wants to be pregnant *and* alone? She may have everything she wants but she doesn’t have what she needs — support.

Harold/Andy. It’ll be fun watching their “equal partnership” unfold next season. The banter! The Harold eye rolls! Hee.

Andy: “Does that mean I don’t get to make my ‘you look down on your lox’ joke?” BWAH.
Andy: “The offer is good until you say yes.” (DOCTOR LOVE!)

Where is Nina? And Laynie, for that matter? Have she and Amy even made up yet? Humph.

Ephram/Bright. They hugged! Aww. 😀 But Bright said “soulmate (a word that is forever scarred by Dawson’s Creek)!” Bad Bright, no cookie.
Ephram: “You’re the only guy that can call me dude without a hint of irony.”

Ephram and Amy. I have to admit that I’m a little upset that Amy asked Ephram to stay in Everwood for her. I thought I was more of a romantic but while watching the episode, I was really hoping that Ephram would stick to his decision and not let Amy persuade him to give up the summer program. Plus, Ephram has made so many sacrifices for her that it seems only fair that Amy be the one to make the “grand gesture.” My heart leaped when I saw her waiting for Ephram on the plane. Aww. They looked so happy and smile-y. Now *this* is the E/A I’ve always wanted to see — finally getting the timing right and making a decision to be together. *sigh* I hope they have an amazing few weeks in NY.

Dr. Brown’s dreams. I loved the way the closing and ending dreams tied the episode back to the pilot, when the dynamic of the Brown family was turned on its head. It pained me to see Andy’s realization that had Julia not died, nothing would have changed — as much as he would like to think it would have. It’s horrible that it really had to take a tragedy to pull him out of his self-absorbed ways. “It scares me to think what it would take to wake you up.” So, so sad.

It’s going to be a loooong summer.

Huh. Rupert Grint (Ron from Harry Potter) totally looks like Jamie Oliver. It’s really uncanny.

Anyway, I just finished watching the sneak preview of Prisoner of Azkaban and… gawd, can I *be* any more excited for the movie?!? The kids were terribly cute during the short interstitials — but it was bizarre to see the striking contrast between the kids’ appearances and voices in Sorceror’s Stone compared to POA. They’re so much older now!

Random Jonathan Rhys-Meyers story… I was reading a recent issue of Entertainment Weekly and I saw that there was a feature on the upcoming movie, Alexander. I quickly looked through the pictures to see if there were any of JRM. No luck… only a few of Colin Farrell and Angelina Jolie. Then I took a closer look and I noticed that half of his face was in the very right of one of the pictures… see it here. *g* At least I know he’s keeping busy and I can look forward to seeing him on the big screen soon! 😀

Friends and ER blubberings…

“Let’s go get coffee.”

“Where?”

*sobs*

I still can’t believe Friends is OVER. I really enjoyed the finale (but then I’m easy to please, I think ;)) — I thought it was equal parts funny, sad and touching. I loved the return of the chick, the duck and Phoebe’s cab. I loved Monica wearing my purple/green scarf (from Banana Republic). I loved Monica and Chandler getting twins. I loved Gunther telling Rachel he loves her. I loved Phoebe driving Ross to the airport… twice. I loved Ross and Rachel finally getting it together. And I was hit with sadness when all six friends gave up their keys to the apartment.

Bye Friends, I’m going to miss you.

I’m so going to get the DVD.

As for ER, poor Carter and Kem. 🙁 Their storyline was tough to watch, especially at the end when they were holding their baby… *sobs more*

*sniff* So I just got done finished crying over The O.C. (Seth! Ryan! Noooo!) and now I find myself watching the Friends Dateline special. It’s so depressing! I just can’t *CAN’T* believe Friends will be over tomorrow. I’ve watched the show since the beginning and it makes me sad to think I won’t be able to turn on the TV on Thursday nights at 8pm and laugh at the antics of those six crazy kids. 🙁 Especially Chandler! I lurve him. He’s the greatest — can he *be* any funnier? *sigh* I’m going to miss the show something fierce (tm Pacey).

Wow, it’s been awhile since I’ve blogged… My cousin was in town this past week so I spent my time hanging out with her. I even managed to score 2 days off from work! 🙂 We had a grand old time shopping, cooking, and getting our nails done — all the girly things we love to do together!

OH! For all you American Idol viewers, this might interest you, lol. My boyfriend was having lunch with his co-workers last Friday and they ran into William Hung! See the picture below (yes, that’s my boyfriend Rob on the left)…

Hee!

more thievery!

So I noticed that my bandwidth usage is abnormally high for the month but I was too lazy to look into it further earlier today. I think it’s the weather — it’s unbelievably hot and it’s making me completely unproductive. Anyway, I finally get around to checking my email after watching tonight’s Alias and I get an email from the lovely Shirphie (thanks girl!) letting me know about this site that took my layout from A Drop in the Ocean, a number of my wallpapers *and* to top it all off, they’re direct linking most of it. I’m so stupid for forgetting to install the .htaccess file ages ago. *hits head* I don’t even want to bother emailing this person so for now, I uploaded .htaccess so she doesn’t kill more of my bandwidth. I’ll have to get around to contacting her soon because there are a few images that she uploaded to her own server. Too bad I don’t know what language she speaks. UGH. If anybody knows and wants to drop me an email, I’d be really grateful. Also, does anyone know how to disable right-clicking? Any opinions on it? I can’t believe this. So annoying.

I’m going to do the Seven on Sunday because shopping and/or thinking about shopping always makes me feel better… 😉

Seven things you’d buy right now if you weren’t too broke to afford them…
1. A Marc Jacobs bag… soft leather, beautiful colors, and awesome hardware. Gorgeous all around, if it weren’t for the price.

2. Widescreen plasma HDTV. My boyfriend and I go to Best Buy to look at them. They’re so cool.

3. A new cell phone. I’ve had mine since the dark ages (1999). It’s so old and clunky compared to all the new phones.

4. A Laptop for Rob. He needs a new computer like, immediately.

5. A trip for Rob and me to traipse around Europe for a few months. We need the vacation.

6. This simple bracelet from Tiffany & Co.

7. A smaller house for my Dad. I always feel bad that I moved clear across the state and he lives in a 4-bedroom house by himself.

It’s about 1:45am and I’m not sleepy at all. I’m still fired up from learning about that site! Guh.

tv catch-up

Posted on by

I’ve only fixed the php coding on 2 of my fanlistings and I’m already getting lazy. *yawn*

So, of course, I decided to play a little catch-up with my TV commentaries…

American Idol
Wow. That’s really all I can say. I was *so* surprised that LaToya, Fantasia and Jennifer comprised the bottom three. I was secretly hoping it would have been Fantasia, Diana and John. Le sigh. I guess that means I’ll have to endure those three for another few weeks. I’m still shocked that Jennifer was eliminated. I didn’t really like her at the beginning of the finals but she’s grown on me. She consistently did better and better each week and I don’t really think she deserved to go. But AI really is just one big popularity contest these days. Oh, and making George pick the top group was SO cruel and tacky. Ugh. The poor guy. The 3 divas were all cheering and then to find out that they’re the bottom three? Evil.

Smallville
I only managed to see the first half hour because I switched over to FOX to watch the horror that is American Idol. I wish I hadn’t. What I saw of Truth was excellent — it was Chloe-focused and she was totally rocking that truth serum. Plus, Pete! He likes Chloe! Aww. I have to download this episode — it’s killing me that I don’t know what happened at the end, lol.

24
The only thing that would have made this episode better for me would have been more Michelle. Is it just me or is it a little unrealistic that she’s not yet showing symptoms of the virus? I mean, she’s been walking around the hotel exposing herself to it! And so many of the hotel guests already have nose bleeds. Maybe I’m just trying to be optimistic. *crosses fingers for Michelle* The best part of the episode was when Kim, Jack and Tony were in the conference room screaming at each other about the operation. Talk about tense! I’ve enjoyed Kim this season so I’m hoping that the writers don’t turn her into a hopeless victim again in the next few hours. And didn’t it seem like Chapelle’s death just happened and nobody really absorbed it? That was really jarring. Anyway, yay for the official renewal for season 4!

One Tree Hill
Ok, so I’m firmly on board the Peyton-love train now. I just loved all her interaction with Jake and Jenny and her smackdown of Nikki — “All the eyeliner in the world doesn’t not make you into a psycho-stalker bitch!” OMG, Peyton rocks. I’ve also done a complete turn-around on Brooke. I thought she was tons of fun when she didn’t care what anyone else thought about her. But now, with the whole lying to Lucas about the pregnancy thing? I’m just not feeling her anymore. I know she’s hurting but the whole lie was just too calculated for me to have any kind of sympathy for her. Still loving Nathan and Haley (they *lurve* each other!) and Dan is still an evil, evil man. I can’t believe he told Lucas that he wanted Karen to have an abortion. But I almost felt sorry for him at the end when he was looking at Lucas’s pictures. Almost.

I also watched The O.C. and Friends but I think I’ve rambled on long enough. *g* Plus, I need to start cleaning my apartment. My cousin is coming to visit next week and this place is not ready for guests. Eeek!

last looks

I need to play catch up on Everwood and post my thoughts on Last Looks, which was an episode I completely loved. LOVED.

Bright. The poor boy needs a hug. He completely broke my heart in this episode. I’m glad that the writers didn’t go with the “happy ending” route and have him get accepted to A&M after his interview. Not that I don’t want Bright to be happy but just because things like that don’t happen in real life. I’m looking forward to seeing him handle the challenge of college next season. And OMG, I read spoilers but didn’t know about Dr. Abbott showing up at A&M. He has never really been encouraging of Bright’s college aspirations so I was proud that he finally looked past what *he* thought Bright should do.

Ephram/Bright. These two have a real friendship now and it’s so great to watch. I was very surprised when Bright blew up at Ephram. It really showed me how far these two have come with their relationship. I was glad that Ephram realized that he does tend to monopolize the conversation with his own problems and that he needs to be more supportive of Bright.

Madison/Delia. Delia is an amazing, amazing kid. She showed great insight in recognizing that Madison was only around because of her and that it was causing Ephram so much pain. Her “break-up” scene with Madison was note perfect.

Madison: “I love you girly, girl.”
Delia: “Madison, I’m gonna have to let you go.”

Ephram/Madison. I’ve never really been a shipper of these two but I have to say that they had a really beautiful, bittersweet ending. I just loved their last scene. Very well-acted by both Gregory and Sarah. I especially loved the way this scene was shot — with the gorgeous blue sky contrasted with the gritty snow still on the sidewalks. Just lovely.

Ephram: “I’m going to my car, when I turn around, you’ll be inside and that will be that.” *sniff*

Irv’s closing narration was the perfect way to end the show…

“A heart is a fragile thing.That’s why we protect them so vigorously, give them away so rarely, and why it means so much when we do. Some hearts are more fragile than others. Purer, somehow. Like crystal in a world of glass, even the way they shatter is beautiful.”

*sigh*
