Seriously, sometimes there just doesn't seem to be enough time in the friggin' day! Which is kinda rich considering I'm a boring loser with no life. Gah, I'd hate to think how tired I would be if I did have a life! Of course, since I swear I sometimes have a bit of an "Awake" situation going on (can I reference a show that's not out yet?) when I do end up sleeping, I feel like I wake up exhausted. I mean, I don't switch between the real world and dream world and start getting confused over which is real, but the dream world does get vivid enough and I'm "aware" there long enough that it almost feels like living a second life.

Well the confusion doesn't happen in the real world. I have had "wake up" chains where I think I've woken up and about for like 30 minutes, but no, its still the dream world. And then there was the dream where I was pretty convinced I was actually in the future in a hibernation chamber on some space ship and my whole life had been like the Matrix, and the chamber was malfunctioning, or the ship it was in had an accident and was facing rapid decompression, because I felt like I was being crushed. Though I will say the dream world is often better than the real world. (Well, duh, it is the dream world) Except when the dream involves my car getting stolen. Or driven into a lake. Or rather, getting caught up in a flash flood. I wonder what it means when you have recurring dreams about driving somewhere and the road back being washed out?

TV commentary:

HIMYM- I like the Quinn character, but isn't she basically Nora 2.0 though? (who in turn was an attempt at Robin 2.0, so does that make Quinn Robin 3.0?) A girl who knows Barney's number and isn't going to take his guff? Though I suppose while Nora was closer to Robin, Quinn's personality is supposed to be closer to Barney's. So last season, we were wondering if the future wedding we saw was to Nora or Robin, but I guess now its Quinn or Robin?

And Lily and Marshall are moving back to the city? Hey, I liked growing up in New York City, so I think its a fine idea! While I hardly ever took advantage of what was out there so readily explorable, I'm glad it was there for me to check out if I ever wanted to. I think I would've gone crazy if I was raised in the suburbs, or worse, some small nothing town. There was no worry about needing to get out to a whole new world, because I was already there. Of course, that prolly made me totally jaded because to me its like, "eh, its no big deal!" Although I guess going down south for college was a similar sentiment to those wanting to not end up some townie in some crappy dumpwater town that only had one franchise fast food joint. I love my family, but I needed a little distance so I wouldn't get stuck at home. Not that I took advantage of the supposed freedom. Though, if I'm being honest, it was also the Southern girls. I mean, I got into a number of colleges that were still in the NE, but still several hours away. But I'd be lying if I didn't factor in Southern belles and their cute accents (wait, that's like the Beach Boys song!).

But I digress, so if Lily and Marshall have the apartment, where's Ted going to live? I guess he owns the dump that will eventually become he and his family's house, so maybe he's going to start fixing that up finally?

TV commentary:

Glee- As stated earlier, part of the way I've been getting over this Glee hiatus is reading Faberry fic. This one in particular, Undeniable, is just ridiculously amazing. I normally don't go for the ultra long fics, but its so well done and packs such an emotional punch I can't put it down!

Also, some people were excited about Matt Bomer being in the first ep after the break as Blaine's brother, but given how they went into the break, now some people are also pretty annoyed because its like, "Oh, Quinn just got hit by a truck! So logically the next episode should be about BLAINE AND HIS FAMILY!"

Hart of Dixie- Heh, I can't believe Wade was oblivious that Magnolia was crushing on him until Shelley brought it up. Also, of the things Brick got mad about with Magnolia, I can't believe he bypassed her outfits. Because some of those dresses were totally inappropriate for someone her age to be wearing (like that strapless number when she went to see Wade at the bar).

Getting back to Shelley though, I think I've said before that one thing that amuses me about this show is how multicultural Bluebell is. It is the 21st century, but still, for a town thst's supposed to be a "traditional" Southern town, its cool that its practically color blind. White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, everyone has a thick Southern accent, even Catalina from My Name is Earl and Carl Winslow.

Anyways, this show has managed to carve such an intricate love pentagon. Because apparently a simple triangle isn't enough! But its heartbreaking the way everyone is woven together, and the number of parallels that take place are almost ridiculous.

TV commentary:

Being Human- You know, a lot of time actually passes on this show between eps! I mean, I guess they do need Josh and Nora to wolf out every so often to keep up the drama with them. But that means the show is glossing over like a few weeks at a time. Which I do think messes with the characterization a little. I mean, Aiden seems to dislike vampire business, but he does care for his brethren. But still it made the whole thing with Cecilia kinda weird. I mean, he would be concerned, and given he's Suren's right hand and Cecilia is the police liaison, so they definitely would have interacted. But have they even had a scene together since the first ep she was introduced?

Pretty Little Liars- I like how the mothers are like this close to figuring things out, despite their daughters attempts to keep them in the dark to protect them. Not a good enough job though. ( spoiler cut )
