gallery is evil

Posted on by

OMG. I seriously want to kill Gallery. My boyfriend is trying to help me reinstall it for High Anxiety and let me tell you, it is A ROYAL PAIN IN THE ASS. The stupid thing won’t work correctly. I’m *so* close to chucking it out and trying to find some other photo image gallery. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’ve heard of 4 images and Adobe Web Gallery — does anyone know anything about them? Like if they can easily be installed? I need something pretty much fool-proof or I’m liable to bash my head on the wall in frustration. 😛

There was a bright side to this weekend though —
Michelle Kwan won her 8th national title!!!!!!!!!

🙂

I’m so happy for her. She’s my all-time favorite figure skater and she was positively amazing in her long program. She landed all her jumps flawlessly and her artistry was, as usual, top-notch. I always get tears in my eyes when I watch her skate a perfect program. Silly, I know. I really really really hope to see her take on the Olympics in 2006 and finally win that gold medal.

I finally enjoyed an episode of Friends in who knows how long… Joey was SO funny. Joey doesn’t share food! BWAH. And Ross’s pink shirt! I was dying. That shirt was awful. And can I LOVE Chandler anymore?!? He was so sweet when he was talking about wanting the baby. Awww. Chandler rocks. I didn’t think I really would be so sad about this being the last season but now with all the promos… 🙁

You know, I seem to be the only person who doesn’t watch Joan of Arcadia. Humph. Every time I read people’s blogs, they seem to be gushing over the latest episode. I feel so left out. But seriously, Fridays are not good! I don’t watch TV on Fridays. It’s a… thing. Or something. Guess I’ll have to attempt the download route if I want to be one of the cool kids. 😀

Ooohhh… yay for new Smallville this week! If you’ve seen the promos (or read spoilers), then you know that there’s going to be a guest star and I cannot wait! Hee. [edit] If you want to know who…

mid-season wrap up

Posted on by

Since it’s close to hiatus time, I thought I would do a little mid-season commentary of all the shows I started to watch this season…

Monday
Everwood – My saving grace this season. The show has continually gotten better and better with each episode. I may not necessarily like the direction of some storylines (Ephram/Madison and Andy/Linda) but I appreciate that the characters are being true to themselves. I do miss Colin, though. *sniff*

Las Vegas – Truly a guilty pleasure. 😀 It’s not really a great show plot-wise or anything (it’s usually downright predictable) but I think it’s a lot of fun. Plus, Josh Duhamel!!! LOVE him. He’s adorable.

Skin – I didn’t even get the chance to watch a whole episode before it got axed by FOX. I recorded the pilot (never got around to watching it and I probably taped over it) and watched about 15 minutes of the second episode. What I saw had potential though I didn’t fall in love. I enjoyed Adam Roam however. *g*

Tuesday
Gilmore Girls – I haven’t been watching this show faithfully like I used to. This season hasn’t grabbed me at all. I don’t really enjoy Digger or Marty and I wish there was more Lane and Paris. And as much as I love Rory, the girl is getting on my nerves.

One Tree Hill – OMG. New obsession. The show didn’t jump out at me right away but I kept watching (pretty much only because it airs right after GG and 24 hadn’t premiered yet). After a few episodes, the show seemed to find its legs so to speak — the improved writing has made me care about these characters. I’ve also found my ship of the season on this show — Nathan/Haley. LOVE. 🙂

24 – Still on my “must watch” list. But it still consistently gets me frustrated. I’m frustrated with Jack’s stubbornness, I’m frustrated with Kim’s hair, I’m frustrated with Tony’s condition, etc. etc. But I guess getting emotionally involved in a show is a good thing.

Wednesday
Smallville – I’ve enjoyed all the episodes this season so far, with the exception of the totally random retro episode. The most recent episode, Shattered, rocked. The acting was fantastic, there was lots of Clark and Lex (and even Clex!), and the storyline was actually captivating — something I was seriously missing from this show. My heart seriously hurt after seeing Lex at the end. *sob* Can’t wait til January.

The O.C. – *sigh* I adore this show. And I love Seth/Summer even more. Die Anna die! hehe. I’ve been hooked ever since it premiered back in August. It’s just excellent cheeky fun. 😀 But if TPTB mess with Sandy/Kirsten — %$^#@! There will be hell to pay.

The West Wing – I watched the premiere and that’s it. 🙁 I always forget that the show is on, probably because it’s on at the same time as The O.C. I still *must* purchase the s1 DVDs but the show just doesn’t have the same magic that it did for me in the earlier seasons.

Thursday
Friends – I have to say that I was definitely not a fan of the Joey/Rachel romance so I’m glad that it was over and done with quickly. I adore Monica/Chandler so I’m happy to see them with an ongoing storyline this season. I can’t wait to see Chandler (he’s my favorite friend!) with a baby. Too cute. I’m so going to miss this show next season!

Tru Calling – Saw the premiere and wasn’t compelled to watch any episodes following. My Eliza love can only go so far. I’ve read the FOX ordered 7 more episodes. Wow. I totally didn’t see that coming. I thought cancellation was on the horizon.

CSI – Still rocks. And now there’s Xander Berkeley (Mason from 24)! Though I found Fur and Loathing to be rather strange. Oh, and there just needs to be more Warrick. Thanks.

Friday
Miss Match – This show is sooo cute. I love what I’ve seen but honestly? Friday nights just don’t work for me. I think Kate and Michael are gorgeous together, though, so maybe I should make it a point to record the show so I can see if anything has happened with them. Anyone know?

Sunday
American Dreams – My precious precious show. I am alarmed that NBC has cut this season’s order from 22 to 18. It breaks my heart. I think this show gets better and better each week. I love everyone in the Pryor and Walker families and I hope that NBC realizes that there are many more stories to tell.

Alias – Still a can’t miss show for me but I don’t obsess over the show as much as I once did. My Syd/Vaughn loving heart just can’t take it! lol. But seriously, I still have yet to fully accept the 2 year time jump. I still feel a little cheated. I wanted to see Marshall and Carrie have a relationship! I wanted to see Dixon get promoted! Agghhh… useless resistance, I know.

Phew… even though I dropped a few shows, I still watch a ton of TV. I’m an addict, hehe.

Still feeling sick. Bah. I need to lie down.

eeeeeeeeeee!

Rob bought me the Cookie Monster and Elmo Potato Sack Racers. 🙂 I can’t stop smiling. I just put batteries in them and it is so much fun to watch them race. Elmo says “Get out of my way!” and Cookie Monster says “Monster coming through!” Hee.

And YES, I do realize that I’m 23 and much too old for these toys. But they’re so. much. FUN.

In other news, I totally forgot there was a new Smallville tonight. Last season, I loved this show — this season is kind of… eh. I can take it or leave it, especially since I’m not too fond of the Clark/Lana/Chloe triangle or the Lex/Helen relationship. At least there’s a rerun on Sunday so I can watch it for the sake of watching it.

Eeee, still giddy about my Sesame Street Potato Sack Racers. 😀

revisiting roswell

Posted on by

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*

Bad!Clark

Posted on by

Bad!Clark is positively yummy. *fan-girly sigh* I actually really enjoyed tonight’s episode of Smallville, if only for the sheer entertainment value of finally seeing non-goody two shoes Clark. Plus, Lana was wearing my shirt, lol! You know, that white top with the little flowers around the collar — yup, that’s mine. 🙂 Anyway, I really liked bad boy Clark — he just had so much spunk and personality. I’m really loving the fact that Pete knows Clark’s secret. I mean, the poor guy didn’t do anything last season except stand at the periphery of the other characters. And I’m not really too much of a Clark/Lana fan anymore (I’ve been converted over to the Lex/Lana side) but I have to say I really enjoyed their last scene together — there are so many things that need to be said between these two — it made for a fantastically angsty scene. Clark has a lot of explaining to do if he ever wants to be with Lana. But maybe that’s the story for these two — to never be able to overcome that barrier.

Ah, so much good TV — I enjoyed BtVS and all the Spikey goodness. I already love James Marsters so this episode really cemented my fan looove for him. Spike’s ending scene was fantastic — great acting (the hurt, the angst, the confusion — all there) by JM and the dark atmosphere and the crucifixion imagery was really powerful. *sigh* My favorite part was the look that Spike and Xander shared when Nancy asked if anyone there had not slept together. Hee! I have great hope for this season.

As for Smallville — it was another ooohhkay episode. After Vortex, this episode was totally out of place. Granted, it was supposed to take place 3 months after last week’s episode but the timing just seemed jarring. I mean, we went from dealing with natural disaster and potential loss to an episode that was about lust, passion and sex. Loved all the Chloe/Lana scenes (girl power!) though — I’m glad that the writers aren’t going the way of Dawson’s Creek and are actually letting the girls have a real friendship. Next week’s episode looks promising — Pete might be in more than 2 minutes of the episode! Truly shocking.

2 hour season premiere of Dawson’s Creek tomorrow! I’ve got my blank tape ready and waiting, lol. I’m actually looking forward to it despite promos and pictures like this. Agh. What a painful image.

But to celebrate my DC love, I have a new domain — Creek Daze. Yay! There’s still a coming soon image but it will soon house the general DC site for the Dawson’s Creek Network. For now though, it has my very own scan site — Fields of Gold. 🙂 Please visit and let me know what you think!

season openers rock

Posted on by

Just got done watching 3 hours of TV — hee, I’m so giddy! (Why yes, I realize that I am a bum).

I really enjoyed the season premiere of BtVS — it laid the foundation for the rest of the season without being too heavy-handed and serious. It was funny and light-hearted (“Is there anything you don’t know everything about?” “Synchronized swimming. It’s a mystery to me.” — hee!), which is just what I wanted after what I found to be a dark Season 6. I didn’t like the foreshadowing for Dawn: The Vampire Slayer — blah. I also found Anya’s scene to be kind of tacked on, like an afterthought or something. Not too sure how I feel about insaneSpike yet. And I love that they’re back at the high school but did anyone else think that it was really bright? Weird. But damn, the last 5 minutes just floored me. It was really chilling to see Warren, Glory, Adam, Dru, the Mayor, the Master and finally Buffy herself — “It’s not about right. It’s not about wrong. It’s about power.” Just, wow.
Oh, and the new principal — yuuumm. 😛 And please, more Giles. Thanks.

The Smallville premiere was… ok. I liked all the Clark/Lex scenes — but for purely superficial reasons. 😛 Seriously though, the only character I really cared about was Lex — I love angsty Lex. Oh, and Chloe rocked too — I found her tears to be extremely realistic. I normally like Lana too but tonight she was kind of… eh. But maybe my opinion on the show is slightly biased because I miss Whitney. 🙁 Bring him back!

I also watched The Real Word: Las Vegas — what can I say? I like to torture myself. But really, what the heck is wrong with these people? It’s the second episode (and the 4th day according to them) and already there’s a threesome going on. My head hurts.

Gah, it’s getting late — I guess I have to watch my tape of Gilmore Girls tomorrow — who in the world decided to make my life so difficult by placing GG against BtVS? Grr.

wet tom! yum!

I just saw last night’s episode of Smallville (“Crush”) and can I just be a teeny-bopper for a bit — how HOT was Clark/Tom as he was standing in the rain at the end? ::drool:: Yum! I also really loved all the moments between Clark and Lana. The look between them at the end was so full of angsty goodness. ::sigh:: My favorite quote was from Lex to Clark: “For arguments sake, lets call them Lana and Chloe.” Hee!

So tonight was yet another crap-tastic episode of my favorite show Dawson’s Creek. Very disappointing but at least we got to see Jen. The only redeeming scenes were the ones with her in them. I loved loved loved when she was dancing on the chair to “Teenage Wasteland.” She’s completely adorable. As for the rest of the episode, 1) the Pacey/Alex storyline equals waste of time, 2) Dawson was not the last person who went with Joey to visit her dad in jail, it was actually Pacey (convenient lapse of memory. stupid writers) and 3) Dawson/Joey — well, I think I’ve made it pretty clear that I love these two characters individually and only as friends so really, I have absolutely no interest in their upcoming reunion. I’m in total agreement with Linda — Pacey and Joey had the much more compelling relationship but *of course,* their great love story was sacrificed for the soulmates. My poor little True Lover heart. I don’t care if the original plan for the show was all about the road to Dawson and Joey — Kevin Williamson never even thought that the show would continue past the first season. Times change, characters change — I really think the writers are limiting the creative potential of the show by writing stories that cater to the soulmate storyline but whatever. I’ve thought entirely too much about this.

Must think happy thoughts. 😛

[edit: I’m looking for screencaps for Smallville (“Crush”) and high quality promo pics for Spider-Man. Help anyone? ]

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.

freak of the week

I was watching Smallville earlier and I’m starting to get annoyed with the “freak of the week” storylines. I wish they would start developing the characters more — like with Pete, we saw a glimpse of what goes through his head in Nicodemus but nothing since. The whole thing is getting seriously tired.
