Been around. Just lazy. As per usual.<\/p>\n
Rob and I have started the big, grown-up task of looking for a home. Our hope is to move sometime in the next year or so. It’s been fun going out to look at model homes and planning how we would lay everything out if it was ours. It’s not so much fun finding out how much the home costs and realizing that we would probably have to resort to eating cup o’ noodles every day for the next 20 years in order to afford it.<\/p>\n
*waaahhhh*<\/p>\n
So instead of thinking about it, I’m thinking about Christmas! It’s only 2 months away, people. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
I’m also going to finish up my TV Report Card. Exciting!<\/p>\n
FlashForward – A<\/b>
\nOne of my favorite new shows of the season. Right up there with Glee. I love the way the show is set up so that we know the characters’ futures and we’re watching them piece together the present to see how they get there. Very cool. The only reason it doesn’t get an A+ is that it takes itself a *tad* too seriously. But whatever. So far, I love Sonya Walger as Olivia and John Cho as Demetri. Dominic Monaghan is also intriguing as (possible baddie?) Simon.<\/p>\n
Bones – B+<\/b>
\nGood, solid show. Nothing’s really happening between Booth and Brennan romance-wise but I love the friendly banter between all the characters.<\/p>\n
Vampire Diaries – B+<\/b>
\nAs I mentioned before, I had no intention of watching this show. Not sure why. Probably all the vampire overkill (Twilight, True Blood)? But I’m so glad I succumbed to peer pressure and watched — it’s pretty darn awesome. It combines vampire mythology with teen high school angst really well. And I love Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder as the vampire brothers Stefan and Damon. I know Stefan is a total goody two shoes (at least as far as the audience knows at this point) but he’s my favorite of the two so far. Gotta love the brooding.<\/p>\n
Grey’s Anatomy – B-<\/b>
\nI’m an episode behind. Overall, I like the show but don’t care for the Mercy West merger storyline. At all. But it was cool to see 2 Everwood<\/i> alums — Sarah Drew as April and Nora Zehetner as Reed. I’m still not enamored with Nora Zehetner’s acting (felt that way when she was Laynie) but I adored Sarah Drew. I hope she gets to stay on as a recurring character. Oh, and thank goodness Izzie is taking a break. She was great last season but now she is getting on my nerves. Hopefully they’ll tone her down a bit when she inevitably returns to Seattle Grace.<\/p>\n
Supernatural – B<\/b>
\nSolid show. I never have anything to complain about.<\/p>\n
Fringe – B<\/b>
\nI’m very sad about Charlie. I really liked him! Anyway, I think the show’s doing a good job at slowing down the mythology and explaining what’s going on for new viewers to catch up. Works for me cause I never finished watching the latter half of the first season.<\/p>\n
CSI – C<\/b>
\nYay, I’m so happy Sara returned! Last season the cast was “off” in large part due to Riley. Thank goodness she’s gone now. She was a total downer and a know-it-all to boot. This season’s better already. I’m totally looking forward to the CSI Trilogy storyline that’s coming up right in time for November sweeps.<\/p>\n
Smallville – C+<\/b>
\nI was getting a little tired of brooding Oliver and shady Chloe so I’m glad the last episode wrapped that right up. They sure dragged that storyline out. And I know Lois and Clark are MEANTTOBE but is it bad that I actually prefer her relationship with Oliver?<\/p>\n
