in n out on the OC

Posted on by

Watched The O.C. tonight and…

Seth and Summer were eating IN N OUT!!! YUM. I love IN N OUT. So good. They totally had me craving a cheesburger… and fries… and a strawberry shake… Mmm.

Some random thoughts on the rest of the episode…

— Julie/Luke
The thought of this relationship squicks me out. BUT the execution (so far) has been hilarious. I mean, Luke offering to fix Julie’s DSL?!? BWAH! Gotta love the double meaning.

— Ryan/Theresa/Marissa
I knew that having Theresa around was too good to be true so I tried not get invested in her relationship with Ryan. But geesh! All their interaction in this episode was so great — the uncertainty, the tension, the happiness, the morning after glow! Then the writers just rip her away. I wish they wouldn’t rush storylines, especially one that might have given us more insight on Chino Ryan. Blah. Now it’s back to Ryan/Marissa. I like them just fine but I think that horrible Oliver storyline really scarred them. It’s so hard to be supportive of Marissa after that whole debacle.

— Kirsten/Sandy
“If anyone’s going to take you away in handcuffs, it’s gonna be me.” (Or something like that — I’m paraphrasing). Hee! I barely paid attention to the whole case against the Newport Group but whatever — Sandy will do anything for Kirsten! *sigh* They rock. They’re my most favorite couple on this show. (Well, they’re tied with Ryan/Seth…)

— Seth/Anna
“Confidence, Cohen.” Aww. For once, I actually really liked Anna. I thought her airport goodbye scene with Seth was so sweet. I’ve never been impressed by Samaire’s acting but she really rocked this scene. It really felt like watching two friends who were scared to let the other go.

Other quotes I liked…
Summer: “Kidding! I’m not that dumb, just shallow.”

Seth: “In vino veritas, know what I mean?”
Ryan: “Hardly ever.”

Anna: “Goodbye Blanche.”
Summer: “See ya Rose.”

Seth: “80 is the new 75!”

Seth” “What is up with the AC? My jewfro is frizzing out, I look like Screech!”

Seth: “I don’t know. Discovering fire? Hunting and gathering? Shaving his chest with a butter knife? You could always do that together…”
Ryan: “I do do that…”

Guh. I can’t believe it’s 3 weeks until the next new episode. There’s like absolutely no new TV for me to watch in the next month. What to do, what to do? 😀

Also, is it just me or was it like the millionth time someone tried to kill Lana on Smallville? Good grief.

ER and parminder

Posted on by

What in the world was that army tank storyline about on ER?!? So bizarre. I was totally rolling my eyes.

Now, I haven’t watched ER in *years* but when I found out Parminder Nagra (aka Jess on Bend It Like Beckham — my new favorite movie :P) was on the show, I had to start watching it again. It’s that crazy BiLB obsession of mine. Heh.

Friends! There were some great laugh out loud moments tonight — loved that Chandler and Monica have a “Joey room” in their new house and it was a great nod to continuity to have Ross jealous of Rachel having dinner with Mark. BUT! Rachel! She can’t take the Louis Vuitton job! Argh, it’s getting harder and harder to stay spoiler-free for the series finale.

Anyway, I knew there was a reason why I love my alma mater so much. Boalt law school has an official club for The O.C.. They’re setting up a Sandy Cohen Fellowship! OMG. Those crazy law students crack me up.

Doing the Tuesday Threesome (better late than never):

Female Television Characters
Jen Lindley (DC), Sydney Bristow (Alias), Amy Abbott (Everwood)

Male Television Characters
Pacey Witter (DC), Lex Luthor (Smallville), Chandler (Friends)

Television Couples
Pacey & Joey (DC), Colin & Amy (Everwood), and a tie between Nathan & Haley (OTH) and Chandler & Monica (Friends)

i hate the rain

Posted on by

Rain is evil. *shakes fist at rain* So this morning I wake up to absolutely miserable weather. The rain is insane! It’s pouring like crazy and the wind is so strong. Ugh. There’s seriously nothing worse than taking public transportation into San Francisco on a rainy day. When I get into the city, I figure that since my office is only 2 blocks away from the train station I should be okay since I’ve got my trusty Winnie the Pooh umbrella and my big puffy waterproof jacket to keep my safe. Uh, no. By the time I get to my building, I am SOAKED. Evil, evil rain. Luckily I am a paranoid freak and I keep an extra pair of pants at work so I can change and not have to spend the rest of the day all wet. I so hope it doesn’t rain like that tomorrow. I can’t take it.

So yeah. That was my day.

Quick TV commentary:
YAY for Colin on Everwood!!! I have missed him SO much. Not at all crazy about the hair (Cut it off!) but it was so, so great to see Mike Erwin again. Heisohsocute. 🙂 I’ve heard that he’s working on a pilot for next season. I don’t really care what the show is — I would just LOVE to see him on TV regularly again. I’m crossing my fingers that it gets picked up. 😉

Loved Seth and Summer onThe OC. Their kissing booth scene? So cute. Didn’t much care about the Ryan/Marissa/Theresa (or is it Teresa?) triangle. But I loved the whole uncomfortable dinner table scene — so much like Seth and his situation with Anna and Summer. Hee.

Finally, Sex and the City (don’t read if you don’t want to know about the finale)…

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…

Yup, Ephram and Madison did the deed on Everwood. And surprisingly, I’m fine with it, lol. When I first heard about it, I was dreading the episode but I guess that’s why I love the show so much — there’s no sugar-coating. Ephram and Madison are together. They’re going to have sex. Like normal teenagers. In real life, you don’t always lose your virginity to the person you’re going to end up with. The only thing is that I wish they would make Madison just a tiny bit more sympathetic. I absolutely hated the way she said “sweetie” after Ephram’s… umm, his “scene.” (You guys know what I’m talking about).

Amy/Tommy. UGH. I just hate where this story is going. Just *once* I’d like to see a “bad boy” on a TV show who actually tried and succeeded in being “good.” I’m so tired of the whole “a bad boy can never turn his back on his past” type storylines. I thought the writers were going to surprise me. Guess not. As for Amy, I’m glad she’s finally using her brain and she actually listened to Laynie about Tommy. I totally thought Amy wasn’t going to believe her.

Yay Laynie! I’m glad they brought her back. I wish they would do more with her. 🙁

Andy/Linda. Snooze.

Some quotes I loved:

Bright: “She wants some Brown loving. So dish it out and serve it up hot, my friend.” BWAH!!!

Amy: “I had the right person in my life. Unfortunately, we ran out of time.” *sniff*

Madison: “Ok, you’re not allowed to hang out with Bright anymore.” HEE!

Edna: “Don’t give me crap and call it ice cream!”

Dr. Abbott: “Who was that who fell asleep on the couch watching ‘Reba’ with your mother and I?”

Ephram: “I can’t stand the thought of you being unhappy.” Ephram is the sweetest. EVER.

grammys

Warning!!!

Do NOT read the most recent issue of Entertainment Weekly (the one with the Survivor people on the cover) if you want to remain unspoiled about tomorrow’s episode of Everwood (No Sure Thing). They gave away a MAJOR plot point. I confirmed it by venturing over to a few spoilers forums. There goes being unspoiled. UGH.

THANKS A LOT. Humph.

My running commentary on the Grammys…
I have a crush on Pharrell and Chad from N.E.R.D. I just think they’re so cute. AND they’re all multi-talented and stuff. Hee.

Beyonce. Loved her hair in the performance with Prince. She looked gorgeous. Not crazy about the dress though. I rarely like anything that pink.

Christina. Her performance rocked but what was with the hair?!? Ghastly. And what was with her red carpet dress?

Matthew Perry and John Mayer. *giggles* LOVE them BOTH. I loved seeing them present together. And seriously? I had *no* idea JM was so tall. He was totally towering over MP.

Andre from Outkast had THE BEST acceptance speech. EVER. “Thank you.” BWAH.

LOVED LOVED LOVED Amber Tamblyn’s pin-striped pants. I need to get myself a pair. 🙂

Justin, I love you. But seriously, I wish you hadn’t brought up the whole Super Bowl debacle. Guh. Everyone just needs to get over it.

Ugh. Audio/mic problems. What a surprise. Sad that it had to be during the whole Luther Vandross tribute. Awww! Luther! Singing Power of Love! *sniff*

So kill me but I enjoyed Justin’s Senorita performance and the Black Eyed Peas’s Where Is the Love performance. I have a soft spot for both songs. Heh.

However, I did NOT enjoy Beyonce’s Dangerously In Love performance. Just… meh.

Norah Jones and Sean Astin. They rock. (Plugging Norah’s new album Feels Like Home — out on 2/10!). Hee.

Why in the world is Samuel L. Jackson yelling like that?!? Bizarre.

Eeee! The Way You Move!!! *dances*

Eh… I stopped watching after the Earth, Wind and Fire/Outkast performance. I was dying — it was *that* boring. And long. Geesh — 19 performances? I thought this was an awards show. Crazy.

I really enjoyed this episode of Everwood. I was starting to think the writers had lost their minds with the lack of Nina and Ephram/Amy interaction. But nope, it turns out it was a plotline this whole time! I adore Nina (she’s just so so cool) and I was so happy to see her back again. I’m glad she didn’t let Andy get away with being a horrible friend to her. And I felt so horrible for her when Sam crashed the car.

Still don’t like Ephram/Madison. I don’t like the way Madison treats Ephram — like just cause she’s older she’s the be all and end all regarding relationships/feelings, etc. Ugh. She just completely rubs me the wrong way.

I was actually really enjoying Tommy/Amy (Alie, don’t kill me!) but now I feel like I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop what with Tommy lying to Amy about work and getting her a super-expensive Blackberry as a present. I was hoping the writers would do away with the stereotypical bad boy boyfriend thing but it looks like that’s where we’re headed. <-- That's NOT a spoiler by the way. Just some speculation on my part. I also really enjoyed all the Ephram/Amy scenes. The show was really missing something (for me) in the past few episodes without any interaction between them. I'm glad to see that they have the kind of relationship where they can get mad at each other and still come to an understanding. It's so great to see them rebuilding their relationship. Bright rocks. Totally. Some quotes that I loved: Bright: "Bro, you're killing me here, man. All this talking and caring and writing cheesy love songs. Why don't you just hand over your testicles now and get it over with?" (looks in store window and combs his hair) Ephram: "Are you really calling me a girl? Cause you're the one that's actually fluffing your hair right now." Bright: "I have a wingding, ok? It happens." I LOVE YOU BRIGHT.

Bright (to Dr. Abbott): “It was mostly Amy’s idea.”
Can I LOVE Bright anymore than I already do?

Delia (re: Ephram and Madison): “I liked it better when they hated each other.”
Me too. Me too.

Andy (to Nina): “I’m going to spend the night here with my friend.”
Awww.

Amy’s voiceover: “You’ll always be my Dad. And I’ll always be your Amy.”
I’m such a sap. I was totally tearing up during the letter. *sniff*

Also? The preview for next week’s episode? Just about killed me. I’m trying to be good and not read spoilers but that preview is making it SO. HARD.

real world/road rules challenge

Is it just me or are the *same exact* people always doing the Real World/Road Rules challenges? Coral, Darrell, Veronica, Mike, Trishelle, Katie, Shane, etc. — you were all on the previous challenge! I don’t need to see you all again! And where in the world is Jonny Moseley? This new host is not cutting it. At all. I always complain about this show but I’m sure I’ll keep watching. Damn guilty pleasure and all that.

Anyway, Everwood rocked. Of course. No random medical emergency just some good Ephram/Amy and Andy/Nina (yes, she’s back! :)) interaction. And by that, I mean awkward and angsty goodness. Loved Ephram and Amy rebuilding their friendship and I loved Nina even more when she didn’t let Andy get away with being a horrible friend to her.

Some quotes that I loved:
Bright: “Bro, you’re killing me here, man. All this talking and caring and writing cheesy love songs. Why don’t you just hand over your testicles now and get it over with?” (looks in store window and combs his hair)

JRM and Bend it Like Beckham

I have a new obsession. Well, 2 new obsessions actually.

Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is the first. And Bend it Like Beckham is the second. Seriously, I *really* don’t need new obsessions.

Now, I realize BiLB has been out on DVD for ages now and the DVD has been sitting in my apartment forever (Yay Netflix!) but I just got around to watching it this weekend. And I ended up watching it 3 times. Mostly because I just totally completely fell in love with the movie but partly because I totally completely fell in love with Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. OMGheisSOHOT!

I really need to head over to Best Buy to pick up my very own copy of BiLB. I must make caps. There’s one scene in particular where he’s wearing a white collared shirt… YUM.

*cough*

In other news, did anyone catch Everwood tonight? Good grief Berlanti! There is no need for Irv/Edna… uh… relations, ok? I almost spit my orange juice at the TV! And still no Nina. For shame.
