So what's up with people not knowing Karen Gillan was in this season of NTSF? Like I was looking through the Karen Gillan tag on tumblr and people were all, "Woah, how did I not know Karen Gillan was on NTSF?" expressing surprise that they had Adult Swim on the background and they heard her show up. Then again, I guess she's not really that famous outside of Doctor Who, and NTSF is like a 15 minute adult swim show that a lot of people have prolly never heard of, so those Whovians who are fans might not know this show exists.

Speaking of tumblr, it always weirds me out when I get new followers, since I feel I do more reblogging than actual content, so they would have only found me through some hottie photoset I made. So I feel slightly bad when they follow me, because they prolly only did it because of said hottie photoset I posted and followed me in the hopes of seeing more hottie photosets, and then they end up seeing my friggin tv show/movie ship bs more often than hot chyx.

So I was thinking the other day, do they still have infomercials for those music compilations? I mean, I would think mp3s pretty much killed those. Like they would be all, "If you wanted to get all these songs, you have to be the entire album they were on even if you didn't want the other songs on those albums, and it would cost you thousands of dollars! We'll give you all of just the ones you want for $39.99! (or is it .95?) Of course, once we have your mailing address, we'll spam you with all sorts of shit (wait, is it still spam if its real mail?). And if you were dumb enough to give us your credit card number, we'll enroll you in a program that will charge your card a monthly fee so we can send you a bunch of other shit you don't want until you manage to get through a gauntlet of operators and finally get us to stop sending you shit and charging you".

But yeah, now with like itunes and amazon and wot-not, you can cherry pick all the songs you want, so why would you ever buy one of those compilations. And then just now I remembered, this all sounds familiar, and I wonder if I had this conversation before with someone.

TV commentary:

Degrassi- I am an idiot, I had been checking the guides on Friday to see when Degrassi was coming back and saw nothing. I mean, tv show favs had mentioned new eps, but it usually flags when shows first show in the world, not in the US. So like it will give the showtimes for shows like Luther, Misfits, Sherlock, and Doctor Who in England, not when it actually shows over here. So I just figured it was showing in Canada, and they were coming to the US at some later point, but apparently they moved it to Thursdays. But luckily, they show the eps on the website.

So new characters- some bitchy girl Zoe who used to be on a teen drama (okay, telling Alli to hang out with people her own age was hilarious!), Miles, the bad boy son of an upcoming mayoral candidate, and his Asian hipster friend Winston "Chewy" Chu. Seriously, the guy wears skinny jeans and bow ties all the time! Who does that?

Ali also meets some French boy during the summer abroad at Paris thing, but I assume he'll only be there for Paris. Gone? Apparently Tori moved away. And skinny Tristan still looks totally weird to me. I guess it wouldn't be so jarring if he also didn't bleach his hair super blond.

Apparently, Canadian hospitals allow cancer patients to have the bfs over for hanky panky. (Oh yeah, Claire definitely has cancer) And I guess Imogen is bi? I mean, she did start out liking Eli when she was first introduced, then moved to Fiona, but now she's on to Adam (which Becky is obviously not cool with) since she and Fi broke up when Fiona graduated. She says she likes "people". I was also realizing, I find her total friggin weirdness endearing, but prolly would be really annoyed by it if she were like less attractive. But I guess that's the case with all magic pixie dream girls.

You know, I keep forgetting about the whole Cameron killing himself thing- like Tristan tries to talk Maya up to the new folks all, "Ooh, she had two boys fighting over her last year". And Maya tells him to shut it, blowing off Miles when he asked what happened with that. At first I thought it was because she was embarrassed and thought it was tacky of Tristan to do that, but then I remembered that she prolly did not want to answer Miles because the answer would be, "Oh, one of them killed themselves".

Anyways, I still keep hearing the rumors Adam is gonna die, possibly from a hate crime. I'm like skeptical they'd kill that character off like that, but from what I hear, that's looking more and more like its gonna happen. Particularly since one of the last eps of the summer has a plot of "Becky has a crisis of faith when tragedy strikes". If that is the case, I'm curious to see where they go. Like, will they have her stop being Jesus girl and rebel? Isn't that what they just did with Maya when Cameron killed himself? Which is all the more reason I'm annoyed about this Adam thing, because they just did a death, what's the point of another one? And is that how they really want to write their trans character off? Getting killed by someone for being trans?! That's just too much. I know the show tackles like every issue, but I don't want to see that character go like that, it seems more like a cheap ploy than a helpful message.

TV commentary:

Degrassi- Okay, I'm caught up now. How the hell did Adam think it was a good idea to log in to Becky's "facerange" account and send that fake e-mail to that guy he thinks is trying to get with her? He shoulda stopped when Dallas and Drew thought it was fine. He's going to listen to those two idiots? Because their collective dating records are so stellar. Wait, I guess Drew is still technically with Bianca. Not that he hasn't almost effed it up on several occasions.

And interesting, so apparently Connor is disinterested in sex with Jenna at all. I guess because of the Asperger's? Is that a thing with those people?

Random factoids, because I'm bored, though some people prolly know these about me already:

-I still cannot stand the phrase "voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir". One, people trying to trick other people to say it, its like who doesn't know what it means anymore? That's one of the oldest tricks in the book. Its played out, give it up. What's worse is when people use it un-ironically (wait, did I use that word right?), like they're trying to use it as a legit pick up line. What is this, the 70s?

-Bobbi Star, she's a youngish looking blue eyed brunette who does "certain things", by all accounts I should be a fan. But the first thing I ever saw her in, her partner was a guy who looked like the spitting image of a former co-worker. And coincidentally, he knocked up his gf around that same time. Anyways, that kinda caused some wires to get crossed in my mind, because when I see her, I think she's his wife, and it friggin weirds me out. I mean, its totally ridiculous, but yeah, I'll be, "I can't watch this, that's his wife, its totally uncool". Obviously, its not his wife, but I still can't help but feel like I'm doing something wrong by watching. Of course, one could argue I'm doing something wrong by watching any of that stuff, in general.

-The other day, one of the student assistants was showing us some ridiculously fast car on Top Gear. It had placed second over all on that speed run thing they have. Which made him curious what the number one one was on that list at that point, and he showed us that as well. They were pretty cool, but I've found that I don't like fast cars, I like practical cars that go fast. I'd rather have a sport sedan or muscle car over some some European supercar. I want something I can carry a special lady friend in comfortably, and enough trunk space for like a trip to the airport or grocery store. My ideal car is still the Nissan GT-R, followed by a Dodge Challenger.
