labor day weekend

I would be able to enjoy my 4-day weekend a bit more if I wasn’t HORRIBLY SICK. I don’t get it. I’m always sick when I’m on vacation. Boo.

I spent the entire day on Friday in bed with a fever. Technically, I didn’t have the day off but I told my boss I would “work from home.” Heh. I think I checked my voicemail and email one time each and didn’t bother responding. I’m the best employee ever. I should win an award.

On Saturday, I began my Roswell marathon. I haven’t watched my season 1 DVDs in awhile and since I was stuck in bed, some mindless alien entertainment sounded great. So far, I’ve watched from the Pilot to Crazy and I guess it’s probably the medicine, but I really miss the show. Then I remember season 3 and the feeling fades. I finally watched Shiri and Majandra’s commentary on Sexual Healing and Crazy. I just love those two — they seem like really great friends. It was really funny how they kept making fun of Brendan’s spiky hair. In both episodes, they kept mentioning how Brendan would arrive on set, get his hair products ready and then proceed to take forever getting his hair just right. I find that so cute. Majandra made me laugh when they were watching a makeout scene between Max and Liz where Max has shirt off. She was quiet for a moment, then she said, “Wow. I almost forgot…” I have to agree and say that yes, Jason Behr did look pretty good in that first season. Hee. They also had some really complimentary things to say about the cast, crew and the time they spent filming the show — I’m kinda sad they’re not doing any commentary for the season 2 DVDs. Oh well. As long as I can have Viva Las Vegas in DVD quality, that’s all that matters.

Speaking of DVDs, Everwood (s1), American Dreams (s1), and Alias (s3) all come out on Tuesday. Squee! There must be some kind of conspiracy to kill my bank account. I’m definitely going to get Everwood first. I can’t wait to watch “the season of Colin” again.

I finally got my EW Fall TV Preview issue — I still have to get through it, then I’ll blog about my fall viewing schedule. Hehe. I’m such a dork.

It seems like everyone who wants a GMail account already has one but I have 7 invites available, so let me know if you want one! Just comment with your first and last name and current email address. I’ll get an invite to you asap. 🙂

And last but not least… I want to wish Alie a very happy belated birthday!

roswell on dvd

Look at my new teddy bear —


.

Isn’t he cute?!? Rob and I made him at The Build-A-Bear Workshop. Fun fun.

I was going to do some TV commentary (Everwood, One Tree Hill) BUT…

I got my Roswell DVDs today! 😀 Season 1 is all mine! Gotta watch a couple of episodes before I go to bed…

i miss alex

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.

bored out of my mind

I am so bored. So. Bored.

I realize I could be working on my sites but… eh. Pass. Or I could be trying to go to sleep, especially since it’s well past 1 am here. But it’s the weekend and I feel like I’ve earned the right to stay up as late as I want.

So I decided to traipse around the net trying to locate good Roswell fic. But the problem is that I can’t find anything that holds my interest. If anyone can recommend a good site, or author, or series… let me know! 🙂 I can’t seem to shake this silly little Roswell addiction I’ve had since the reruns started airing.

i am in love with roswell

I watched the last episode of Roswell season 1 on the Sci-Fi channel today — and I really really loved it. Back when it was on the WB, I watched the show on and off (don’t know why I didn’t catch it more often, it was on after Dawson’s Creek). It just didn’t interest me that much and I kept seeing Jason Behr not as Max but as Chris Wolfe from DC, lol. Anyway, I missed most of s1 and s2 and started watching regularly during s3. Yes, I know s3 is widely regarded (as is s2 apparently) as a complete mess but I don’t know, there was something that intrigued me about a show that had avoided cancellation twice because of the loyalty of its fans. I didn’t think s3 was all that great but maybe it was because I didn’t have any of the backstory — so when the Sci-Fi channel picked it up, I was so excited to get the chance to see s1 in its entirety. And I really wasn’t disappointed. I loved all the characters (yes, even Tess, no matter how begrudgingly) — and I found myself really caring about all of them. ::happy sigh::

Season 2 starts tomorrow so we’ll see if my happiness lasts much longer — or maybe I should just cut all ties now so I’ll only have happy s1 memories. Hmm…

Monday night’s Everwood episode left me with another favorite TV quote —

Colin (to Amy about choosing between him and Ephram): “Think about what you want. I know what I want Amy, I want you. But you know, that shouldn’t be enough for you. You have to want me too. This me. I don’t expect you to have an answer for me right now, it’s okay. I’ll wait for you. You waited long enough for me.”

Now that’s a love triangle.

revisiting roswell

Yay for me! I actually remembered that the Roswell reruns started yesterday. 🙂 It’s giving me something to look forward to every day, lol. The only thing that annoys me is that the Sci-Fi channel adds an extra commercial break in the last act. Grr! It’s only because they want to go straight to the next show at the top of the hour — but seriously, it screws with the flow of the episode. Blah to that.

I was really happy to see a new episode of Gilmore Girls but I totally could have done without the Rory/Jess kiss fest in the beginning. It was like 5 entire minutes of kissing! Ok, more like a minute but still. It could have been spent on better things — like more Luke! And Lane! And Lorelai! I did love all the Emily/Lorelai scenes though — “That’ll do pig, that’ll do.” hee.

New episode of Smallville too — though I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it yet. It was one of those episodes that left me saying “What the hell?” First of all, I can’t believe they actually killed off Whitney! *sob* I have to admit that I didn’t really like his character in the beginning of the first season — partly because we never really got to learn anything about him. He was just the stereotypical popular jock. But at the end of the season, I really grew to like him and then the writers shipped him off to nowheresville. And then we get him back only to find out that it’s not really him! Grr. Another thing that really bothered me was the whole Lex/Helen relationship — I didn’t feel a single ounce of chemistry between those two. They were so wooden, it was terrible. And I’m expected to believe that Lex sees a future with this girl? Oo-kay. And what happened to Pete? He got beaten up and we never saw him again. Poor Pete. Things I liked — Clark in a wet T-shirt (yummm), the Chloe/Lana scene and the Clark/Lana ending (and no, I didn’t think they were being selfish — just honest).

Oh! Did anyone see the premiere of that new show on MTV called MADE? It was the episode on the girl wanting to become a cheerleader… aww, it was cute. Or maybe I feel that way because it brought back happy pep squad memories. 🙂

Anyway, new episode of Dawson’s Creek tomorrow — is it just me or do the promos make Joey seem like a crazed stalker girlfriend? 😛

Ooohhh… Michael Rosenbaum on Conan… okay, that interview was waaaayyy too short. He seriously made me giddy though! I loved his pot-smoking grandma story and his Christopher Walken impression — MR is such a cutie. *happy sigh*

farewell roswell

Wow… so Roswell’s over. “Graduation” was not the most satisfying season finale but it made me smile, made me cry and it made me remember why I fell in love with the show way back in the good old days of Season 1. I loved the scene between Michael and Maria when he told her that she’s the only one for him, I loved the good-bye scene between Kyle and Valenti, I loved the Max/Michael hug and I adored the fan shout-out with the bumper sticker at the end. ::sigh::

Yay! Star Wars tomorrow at midnight baby! Whee!

version 4 coming soon

I’ve been working on a new layout (well, not really — more like new graphics :P) for the past few days so expect to see a brand new look soon. 🙂
Hmm, aside from that, I haven’t really been doing much of anything — Tuesday Night TV tired me out. I found Roswell to be really good — I can’t believe that there’s only 2 more episodes left. *sniff* And is it just me or did that Connie girl look a lot like Tess? Weird stuff. I also managed to catch Smallville (another freak of the week episode), which grossed me out a bit. I detest bugs so watching a swarm of bees attack people was not fun at all. But did anybody see those promos for the Smallville episode that airs on May 21? I think that’s probably the season finale. Anyway, the tagline was “The Storm is Coming.” I wonder what that’s all about — I guess I should read spoilers, huh? Oh! Speaking of spoilers, I saw some *very* spoilerish pics for the season finale of Buffy on the spoiler board at Fan Forum. Interesting stuff indeed.

me giddy – whee!

Whee! My boyfriend and I are celebrating our 3 year anniversary today. 😀 We don’t have any big plans or anything, we’re probably just going to go out for dinner. We just decided to save up money for a trip to Hawaii so I think that’ll be the way we celebrate our big milestone. I’m just so happy right now. ::giddy:: We’ve been through a lot together — starting off as friends helping each other through the craziness of college to now — very much in love! ::sigh:: Sorry for the total sappiness — hee.

Hmmm… I hope everyone is happy that I held it together last night and didn’t go crazy posting my comments on the latest episode of Dawson’s Creek. 😛 I guess I was just expecting the worst so it really wasn’t too bad. Besides, I really enjoy the episodes where we get to see all the characters — even Grams! I love Jen more and more every week (she’s my favorite character, definitely. she just rocks) — her reaction to Grams’s new boyfriend was so hilarious. “Young lady, do you have a boyfriend?” Hee, too funny. I also enjoyed the scene between Dawson and Jen — while I had high hopes for a relationship between them, I’m really glad we didn’t lose these two as friends. I’m still annoyed by Joey and Charlie and Pacey and Audrey but I’m in too good of a mood to elaborate. So whatever. What a great way to lead up to the momentous 100th episode where apparently, nothing new and exciting will happen. Unless you count Dawson proclaiming his love for Joey (for what now? the millionth time?) as new and different. I’m sorry, just blame it on my P/Jo love.

And I’m hearing that Roswell has officially been cancelled. I can’t say I’m really sad about it cause let’s face it, the show hasn’t been too great lately (example: I Married an Alien) but I *will* miss seeing the actors and their characters. I guess I’m just a big old sap like that. 😉

Tuesday Night TV

Just got done watching Tuesday Night TV! 😀 Good TV tonight… well, with the exception of Buffy. I couldn’t really get into the episode because of the BAD ACTING! Maybe I was just annoyed because I love Spike and he showed his stupid side with that whole doctor crap. ::rolleyes:: Or MAYBE Riley and Sam really *are* cardboard cutouts of REAL people! ::sigh:: I was looking forward to seeing Riley again (believe it or not, I have a soft spot for the guy) but he had to hit me over the head with his monotone voice and sheer lack of emotion. I don’t remember him being that… boring. ::looks around:: But I have to admit, he reeled me in when he was telling Buffy that she was his first love. I was always sad that those two never had any real closure. And the ending… I call myself a Buffy/Spike shipper but I can’t help but think that they’re better off apart. I wish the writers had done something different with them… they had so much potential.

For a show that is in serious danger of being cancelled, Roswell was really good… any Dreamer will love this episode. It’s not really a romantic episode but you get a real sense of the amazing connection that Max and Liz share. From the flashes of Liz that Max kept seeing as he was in Clayton’s body to the end when Liz brings back Max– these two showed me that what they have, their love (“I have to go to her. She’s the love of my life.”), is something worth fighting for. An added bonus– all the Liz/Maria scenes. My favorite quote of the episode is a piece of dialogue between them– Liz: “Do you know you’re like the most specialest person in the world to me?” Maria: “Right back at ya.” 🙂 I love them.

Smallville’s latest episode was also pretty exciting– I didn’t care too much about the Whitney/robbers storyline as much as I liked all the character interaction. I can never get enough of Clark and Lex (it’s just a huge plus that they’re both yummy!). Lex made me go “Aww!” when he said “I didn’t come here for the disk. I came here to help out a friend”– or something like that. I don’t remember the exact quote. heh. I also loved the Lex/Lana scene at the end… Lex hit the nail right on the head when he said “I think this is the beginning of an interesting partnership.” It is indeed.
