Ooh, looks like not actually frizzy haired girl lightened her hair. I mean, if you dye your black hair to a light brown, that's sorta lightening it, right?!

And I'm slow, I didn't actually get the whole "Pen Fifteen" thing in yesterday's xkcd until I tried looking it up this morning and used the actual number instead of typing out "fifteen". Then I saw it and was all, fdv('I see that, now') According to Urban Dictionary, this was a common joke for kids to do? Which was news to me, because in all my years I had never even heard of Pen Fifteen until reading that comic.

She hid around corners and she hid under beds

So I don't watch the Bachelor, but apparently there's some chick on there who thinks she's like a vampire or something? Is it me, or is that kinda psycho?! (And totally HOTT, ha!) I don't like the stills they used in that article, she looks totally wicked mad cute in the video.

I'm kinda amused the other chyx are all laughing at first, thinking the Bachelor is going to boot her nutty ass to the curb. But given she's a hot, albeit crazy-weirdo, blond, he's all, "the fangs are cool, I think we have a connection!", and then the other girls start looking all pissed that he's into her. HA! I'm also amused that the guy would prefer that she is a crazy weirdo who filed her teeth into fangs, as opposed to a girl just wearing the fangs as a gag. (Or I guess to be an attention whore)

Oh weird, they mention her being an actress, but looking at her imdb page apparently she played one of Cerie's hot cousins. Speaking of Cerie, what the hell is up with Katrina Bowden not getting more play?! I mean, look at her brilliant comedy chops!:

TV commentary:

Caprica- So, seems like SyFy is burning the last 4 eps of Caprica tonight. Alas, could the first ep back from the hiatus be any more prosaic?! I'm not going to even bother with a spoiler cut, because the plots are so obvious that you know exactly how things will turn out almost as soon as the ep starts.

1) Lacey's ship to the training camp being "hijacked". Like it wasn't obvious that the rival terrorist group (or were they supposed to be really militant polytheistic anti-montheists?) capturing them and executing some of them was just an indoctrination test.

2) Heh, I would've found Methos being a mole shocking in the beginning if I remembered who the hell his character was. I mean, I was reminded a few scenes later he was the chief. But when he demanded to know who that one cop guy's CI was or else he won't authorize any warrants to check out spy gear, and the cop guy does give him a folder of what we think is Amanda Graystone, it was totally obvious he gave Methos the file of that one recently preggers chick instead to see if she'd end up dead to reveal that Methos was the mole.

Okay, there was one surprise there at the end. ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Dammit, its a new ep of No Ordinary Family tonight, plus the season premiere of V? Well, I'm sure they'll show up on Hulu tomorrow, but I'm not 100% sure Caprica will. Plus it'll be more efficient to just finish up Caprica, as I won't be able to watch the ep at 10 if I end up missing the 8 and 9 o'clock eps for No Ordinary Family and V.

(And before people are all, you watch too much TV, according to the Nielsens, current TV viewership is at 34 hours per person per week. So I'm actually not that far off from the average.)

Caprica- Argh, in the beginning of "Dirt Eaters", that was totally aggravating when Street and that other guy were fooling around in New Cap Ciy to take on the Avenging Angels (the ominous name Tamara and Zoe are going by now, and with which they actually have a following in the real world) and then Clarice interrupts them afterward, and thinks they're playing games, and they try to coax her in, wherein she'd actually end up finding Zoe, but she just disregards their little game as foolishness. So close! Speaking of the Avenging Angels, I would think the the Adamas would be more concerned about this, particularly when young Bill Adama comes home wearing one of their shirts. I mean, does he not recognize the non Zoe-girl as his sister? Someone going around looking like Zoe, whatever, she's notorious. But her hanging with some random avatar that looks like Tamara?

We also get a look into the Adama boys well, when they were boys. Again, the show is kinda prosaic at times, so you knew it was gonna end up being Joe rather than Sam being the one to kill the police who murdered and tortured their parents.

Ah, so they did go somewhere interesting with Lacey and the Cylons. (and is it me, or is that one brunette trainee kinda cute? She reminds me of Sweet Knees or Minka Kelly) ( spoiler cut )

And I never noticed this before, but is it me, or does Street have a cocky look about him?

You know, if a girl is able to control your ultra powerful robotic combat units with but a word, maybe you don't want to piss her off by trying to kill her! Other people you don't want to piss off, nascent god-like beings by framing their parents whom they just reconciled with.

Also, when you go to war with people you think of as your own children, make sure its not in your actual kids' best interest to team up with them instead and dethrone you!

Not that everyone was an idiot, at least some people on this show are smart enough to recognize BS, like a suicide bomber being told by their colleague that they "envy them for getting to reach heaven first", and that they will have to take the more awful path of having to continue to live on to continue to lead the resistance and knowing they're full of crap.

( spoiler cut )

Amusingly enough, while Caprica didn't last as long as BSG, it at least got a better ending!

Oh weird, I just noticed that the American remake of Being Human has Starkiller as the vampire one.
