Grrreat… I happened to find myself on CodeGrrl.com when I discover that the method I’ve been using to convert my site to php is susceptible to hackers. FABULOUS. I use dynamic inclusion on all of my sites! So now instead of writing my Tuesday TV commentary, I better start fixing code…
Oh, but wait — to go along with my previous entry, the Dawson’s Creek Season 3 DVDs are available for pre-order! Score!
An intense night of both 24 and Alias has exhausted me… BUT before I head to bed, I had to come here and post the link to the cover art for the Dawson’s Creek season 3 DVDs. Eeee!!! June 29th cannot come soon enough. 😀 Thanks to Mandy for the heads up!
There’s nothing like drowning yourself in TV to make yourself feel better…
One Tree Hill
Good grief — the pregnant storyline for Brooke?!? Ugh. So lame. They already have Karen and Jake to represent the teenage parents. Way to recycle plotlines, writers. Loved all the Nathan/Peyton interaction which totally surprised me because I didn’t like their relationship in the beginning of the show. I can see now that there was (and is still is) something deeper between them and they genuinely care about the other. I’d probably be open to Nathan/Peyton redux. Maybe. I’m also warming up to Hilarie Burton. She just seems more relaxed and comfortable where before she struck me as kind of stiff and awkward. Haley, Haley, Haley — I was so disappointed in the tattoo. It felt very out of character for me. I hope she doesn’t get hurt though. I adore her. And am I the only OTH fan who prefers Karen/Larry to Karen/Keith?
American Idol
No more voting for me, I think. I only like George and Jasmine at this point but tonight they were pretty… meh. Such horrible, horrible song choices. I don’t want either of them to go but they gave me no motivation to pick up the phone and actually vote. LaToya and Jennifer totally “wow-ed” me — they have such beautiful, strong voices — but for some reason, I can’t connect or relate to them in any way. *shrugs* Don’t particularly care for Fantasia or the two Jo(h)ns either. My track record hasn’t been very good but I’m going to predict that Diana’s going to get the boot tomorrow night.
The O.C.
LUKE! NO!!! *sniff* I can’t believe he’s moving to Portland. 🙁 I really liked his goodbye scene with Ryan — “Welcome to Portland, bitch!” I hope this move isn’t permanent. I thought Luke was a great character and I’m sure the writers could think up some great storylines for him next season. I’m keeping my fingers crossed! Still loving Seth/Summer. Their banter (tm Pacey and Joey) rocks. OMGtheyareSOcute! Especially during their yearbook scene. *sigh* Summer broke my heart when she said “Was I really mean to you?” Aww. Also? I don’t like Caleb. I may not be the biggest Marissa fan but blackmailing her was so wrong.
Apprentice tomorrow — GO KWAME!
I’m experiencing a severe bout of laziness at the moment. It’s affecting my online life, my real life, my work (which by the way, I hate right now due to an evil tool of a co-worker)…
Ugh. I’m in such a funk. I need a vacation.
KWAME!!! Yay! I am *so* rooting for Kwame to win on The Apprentice. I just adore him even though he hasn’t really done much except manage to stay under the radar. I also loved how he and Troy reacted after being reunited. So cute! They’re like best friends for life. 😀 But good grief, Omarosa on my TV screen again? Crap. She was truly, truly awful. She was so incredibly incompetent and irresponsible that I wonder if she’s deliberately trying to ruin Kwame’s chances of winning. I wouldn’t put it past her.
Anyone know where I can find decent quality ER caps?!? I’m desperate, people. I watched the Neela/Gallant scene on tonight’s episode and totally and completely melted. Just when I think I might get invested in a couple, the writers have to take the relationship away from me. I can’t believe Gallant’s leaving. He’s my favorite (though completely underdeveloped) character on the show. I hope they don’t kill him off — I’d really love to see Sharif Atkins again. Oh, and a small casting spoiler about next season (don’t click if you don’t want to know) — whoo hoo!
Anyway, I can’t wait for tomorrow — I have a half day at work and then Rob and I are heading down the coast to stay in Monterey for Easter weekend. 🙂 It was a total spur of the moment vacation decision. We just made our rental car and hotel reservations this afternoon, lol. Hope everyone enjoys the holiday!
Ahhh, Everwood how I missed you! Unfinished Business wasn’t the “wow” episode that I was hoping for, especially after such a long hiatus. HOWEVER, I really loved that this episode resolved a lot of storylines yet set up arcs that will probably lead to the season finale.
A few random comments and quotes that I loved…
Bright [to Ephram]: “Sometimes your pride comes before your nads.” Bright seriously has all the good quotes.
Enjoyed the constant reference to Ephram as “jailbait.” He *so* is.
Madison and Ephram broke up! Is it sad that I’m so happy about this? Ah well. It’s too bad, though, that I finally found her to be a sympathetic character in the very episode that they break up. I totally bought her sadness and regret that their relationship didn’t turn out the way they would have liked. One question that is *killing* me is: What exactly *did* Ephram get Madison for her birthday?!? I need to know, lol.
Andy and Nina. I have to admit that I’m rooting for these two crazy kids but I didn’t really like this court storyline with Carl. I’m glad it didn’t last more than an episode. I just thought that, while it was nice to finally get verbal confirmation from Andy about his feelings about Nina in his life, it just seemed weird that he made a court case between Nina/Carl/Sam all about him and how he needed Nina in his life. Nice speech but it just seemed wildly inappropriate.
Bright said “Asshats!” BWAH!
Dr Abbott [to Dr. Brown]: “And if I don’t make myself clear, I encourage you to test me.” Whoa. I’m not sure who I agree with in this whole Amy/birth control situation but eeek — Doctor angst!
LOVED the last scene between Amy and Ephram. As much as I would love to see these two finally make a romantic relationship work, I almost would hate to lose the great vibe and tension they have in their friendship. *sigh* I thought this quote was especially great…
Amy [to Ephram]: “But if she was dumb enough to let you go, she mustn’t have been that perfect.” Aww.
Ugh, I hate daylight savings time. It always makes my day all screwy. Not that I had any real plans today or anything. But still.
Rob had work all day today so I lounged around and watched an entire season of Sex and the City. Season 4, to be exact, which I recently got as a gift (thanks Carms!). You know, I never really liked Aidan when I was actually watching the episodes unfold (I’m much too much of a Mr. Big apologist) but good grief, during this viewing, he totally broke my heart. Guh. *sniff* I miss this show.
Ooohh, I can’t believe tonight’s episode of American Dreams was the season finale! It’s going to be a looong summer. I rarely write comments about this show (mostly because I can never find the words that will bring justice to the storylines, the characters, the emotions, and the quality) but it really is one of my favorites. And because I can never really get the shipper out of me, I loved the scene when the girl at Penn thought Sam and Meg were a couple. I just adored the shy, awkward look they exchanged. I can’t wait to see how their relationship develops next season especially with their arrests hanging between them. Eeek!
Sucks about Wonderfalls being cancelled. I was just getting into it and the crazies at FOX yank it off the air. They really have absolutely no faith in the shows they order. I don’t know why they even bother.
Yay for new Everwood tomorrow! Finally.
I got a raise at work! YAY me!
It’s not much really (and I don’t even make that much to begin with) but whatever. I’m just happy that my boss recognizes and appreciates my work. Kinda cool. 🙂
I’m so glad that FOX moved Wonderfalls to Thursday nights. I’ll actually be able to watch it now. Fabulous. There is one problem though — it’s on at the same time as The Apprentice! Cripes. Speaking of which, YES! Kwame stays another week. He’s my favorite to win the competition. Next week looks like tons of fun with 2 people getting fired. Awesome.
Huh. I was just checking out my site stats and came across this Kelly Clarkson fansite. Does the layout look familiar? It’s because it’s mine! ! %$#@! The webmaster is even direct linking the background. 🙁 Ugh. I don’t know if I should be flattered or upset. My head just started to hurt. [edit 4/4: She took it down. Thank geebus.]
YES! 24 is back. *huggles 24*
Some potentially spoiler-y comments…
Too bad 24’s return is coupled with Michelle/Tony angst. 🙁 I love them so, so much (well, maybe I’m biased because it’s TONY) and I can’t stand to see them so sad. If TPTB kill off Michelle with that crazy virus, I will be a very unhappy camper. At least she’s letting her inner bitch out in the meantime. I was totally rooting for her to shoot the guy in the hotel — he was going to let the virus out! Silly civilian.
Still not caring about President Palmer’s storyline. What a big yawn-fest. DB Woodside is quite the looker though. Heh. 😉
As for the other FOX show that I watched tonight, thank goodness American Idol is only an hour now. No more fluff pieces! But horror of horrors, the guest judges are back. Blah. They always bore me and have nothing to say that any of the regular 3 haven’t said. Oh well. On a positive note, I think I’ve found my 2 favorites — George and Jasmine! They both totally “wowed” me tonight, yay! Too bad I don’t think either really have a chance to win since to me it seems like we’re headed for a LaToya versus Fantasia final two. Though I really, really hope not. Anyway.
Just because it was fun to do this last week…
My predictions for the bottom 3 are — Camile, John and Jon. With Camile packing her bags.
I finally watched Pieces of April and I really, really liked it. The movie had a kind of dark and sometimes uncomfortable humor but what really touched me was its underlying sense of hope. There were many funny moments (Katie Holmes’s character April running around trying to cook Thanksgiving dinner), cruel moments (Patricia Clarkson playing with her family’s feelings), and touching moments (April finally sitting down to dinner with her estranged family). I thought Katie did a fantastic job at anchoring the movie — I didn’t even think of little Joey Potter once! Patricia Clarkson as April’s completely unsympathetic mother and Derek Luke as April’s sweet boyfriend also get positive marks in my book. Overall, a great heartwarming movie — two thumbs up!
Also, is it June 4 yet?!? I need my Harry Potter fix!
