geebsOn GG, weird, Logan and Rory are all cute and normal. And they're talking about things! Though, Ida know, there might be something to the whole sabotaging things when things are going well. I mean, when she was with Dean, there was the whole Jess sitch. And then when she broke up Dean's marriage and they were an item again, that's when she was on the path to Logan.
Ah, and Lorelai and Chris are finally over! That last scene was pretty good. I thought it would be another big fight, but both of them realize they're just not meant to be. Though what the hell does "You're the one I want to want" supposed to mean?! That doesn't even make cents! I mean, I get her sentiment, but can you really want to want someone? I think you either want them, or you don't! If you want to want them, it means you want them!<
Of course, that line doesn't aggravate me as much as "I think I loved you before I met you" Its just so prosaic nowadays, that when people say that, do they really think they've loved the person they're saying that to before they met them, or did they hear the song, and thought it something cool and poignant sounding to say, so they do?
Ah, a two part ep of Veronica tonight. Jeez, you'd think the college would be a little more worried, with not one but two faculty members murdered within such a short time period. So that one rich guy who bullied the dean into re-instating the pi sigs is a suspect. I'm not sure why checking on his alibi will help too much. A rich guy like that? I would think if he wanted the coach dead, he'd hire someone to do it rather than killing the coach himself.
While there were a couple of scenes where it seemed like the son was doing the "charming killer" thing, I don't think it was him, and Mason being the killer seems to clean for this show. I guess we'll have to see next week whodunnit.
I wasn't sure if Dick knew beforehand that his soon to be ex-wife's sister was just a kid, and if this was a ploy to get a babysitter for her while he sexes up the sister. Of course, who the hell would let Logan Echolls take care of a kid?! I guess its just Dick's "Owel"-carefree attitude that confused me. I suppose that is vintage Dick to just take things in stride and play it off. Though i'm not sure why the sister would describe her lil' sis as practically her twin. She would have to at least know she wasn't setting her up when she brought her over.
Some people on the forums complained about the whole cliched, little kid helps out the brooding mess plot. Cliched? Yes. But it was sweet and cute. The whole requesting Nick Lachey's "What's Left of Me"? Ha, that is such a tweener thing to do! Of course, what are the chances that Veronica happens to be passing by a radio when the request comes on? But then they all bump into each other in the elevator? Veronica might've found the request lame, but the whole little girl trying to push Logan into saying something, surely that would melt her cold heart. But ha, Logan in the bathrobe, and the girl wearing Veronica's shirt, I'm surprised Veronica wasn't all, "What the frak?!" and thinking he's suddenly gone off the deep end and turned into some weirdo pervert.
Speaking of, Logan trying to be nice to the girl by asking her if they could do a weekly Mario Kart online thing and her being all "Stop flirting with me, old man!"
On the Dean murder front, knowing the volvo was checked out is one thing, but since they don't know who checked it out (can't they check with the valet working that night if it they remember it being checked out by a man or a woman?) I'm not sure why they're zeroing in on Mindy just because of the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang thing. Like she said, maybe he turned it on after she slept. And just because he knows about the movie doesn't mean he neccesarily had to have seen it during that sitting.
(Speaking of Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, what a koinky dink, its on HBO right now. Its still an awesome movie. Its the tail end of it, but that means I can check it out on HBO west later)
I'm definitely curious why Mindy's not mentioning the Dean showing up. At first, I was wondering if maybe she was somehow not in the room at the time, since the guy Veronica framed said he heard just two guys arguing. But I checked back to the recap, and she was the one who answered the door. So that's not it. Its just confusing, because on the one hand she's being suspect, but if she did do it, why would she hire Keith in the first place? And since its obvious Keith is zeroing in on her, why continue to lie about the Dean not showing up?
Heh, between work interruptions and my usual taking a long-ass time to write an entry, its turned into Valentine's Day. Well, isn't that special?
Oh, I had forgotten to mention the other day, when making the weekly call to the parentals, I got the whole, "When are you gonna give us grandkids?" speech, with the "you're our only hope since your brother![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sparkyboy is a fruit" addendum, of course. Heh, my mom was trying to use my grandma's age when her first grandkid was born (which would be cousin A, of couse. I'm still the first born male of this generation though, so if we were like royalty or something, I'd be like the heir!), but we quickly figured out my mom's not that old yet. Then she tried to use my uncle's age when he had A, but I'm not that old either. So, ha! There's still time. Of course, why does everything have to be on a schedule anyways?
So, the other day, I'm like at the airport, and oddly enough, I bump into Julie from engineering camp. (I even think, "how odd, and I had just written about her on LJ") She has a pre-teen boy with her. I'm all, "Hey, Julie!" We greet each other warmly and I ask her how long its been. She's all "thirteen years, give or take" Then I'm all "Cute kid" and ask Julie how old he is. And she replies, "Oh, thirteen years, give or take!"
Of course, I'm all, "He's not mine, is he?" She laughs, and is of course not! I mean, its not like the kid even looks half asian. Anyways, we make some small talk until its obvious there's nothing else to say and we part ways. Anyways, I didn't think much of it, until I get a call from some dude who says he's a lawyer. I was shocked and saddened to learn that Julie had been an accident and that she had passed away. She was a single mom, and apparently she had written a letter shortly before her death that if anything were to happen to her, that she wanted her son Harry to go with his biological father- me! I was all, "But she said..." and thinking that I don't know the first thing about taking care of a kid! I can hardly take care of myself!
Anyways, I tell the guy such, but since the kid had no other living relatives, he'd end up going into child services and foster care. Now, I'd seen the TV shows, and they made it seem not so great. So I said I'd take the kid until we could figure things out. I was wondering if this would be like the movies where the person who can't take care of themselves much less someone else suddenly finds themselves thrust into a parental role. Growing up with a single mom who raised him on her own, Harry had to grow up quick. So he would be the kid would teach me how to be a responsible adult.
Of course, that was only half the story. But before I get into that, let's back up to engineering camp. After we had parted ways, Julie soon found out she was pregnant. She wasn't sure who the father was, it was me or some other guy. Julie had no way of contacting me, and when the kid had light hair and eyes, she assumed that eliminated me. So she tells the other guy, and he actually steps up and marries her. Well, he didn't just do it out of a sense of obligation, he actually loved Jules. And it seemed like they were going to live happily ever after. Even with the kid, they both managed to get a college education and jobs with a prestigious pharmaceutical company in New Jersey.
Alas, those years of bliss didn't last. Turns out the guy had cancer. And during the battery of medical tests, it was discovered he wasn't the father of Harry at all. He passed away, and Julie's parents (the only family she had!) soon after that in a tragic car accident. Her in-laws, shocked that their grandson wasn't actually their grandson didn't want anything to do with the two of them anymore. So Julie and Harry were left all alone. Which brings us up to date and how Harry came to live with me.
Anyways, things are normal at first, but little did I know that Julie didn't die in an accident at all. It turns out she had discovered evidence of wrong doing at the pharmaceutical company and was on the run, which was how she came to bump into me at the airport! Obviously, she didn't want to spring all this on me, someone she hadn't seen in over a decade, but when it was obvious the conspiracy was getting close to her, she wrote that letter. I mean, I seemed like a nice, stable guy back then, she prolly figured she was leaving her kid in good hands.
So the guys who killed her and made it look like an accident, they weren't too keen on killing a kid, so they didn't touch him. But the guy who hired them didn't want any loose ends. So they come after us, but thanks to my bad-assedness and skillz with a gun, I manage to thwart the assassination attempt, escape from torture, kill like 16 guys (its always 16), uncover the conspiracy, and save the day, all the while learning how to be a dad!
So how's that for an idea to make a movie based on my life more exciting?

Date: 2007-02-14 11:37 am (UTC)And two things stuck out in the coach murder thing... one, when the son quit early on, an assistant coach type guy tried to stop him from leaving, and he started to say something like "hey, you don't want to do this, your dad's been telling me..." and then it got cut off by the Coach talking over it. It felt like too on purpose to be nothing. But maybe it was, I dunno.
The other thing was the top bunk guy in Josh's cell. The pan to him was totally weird... I guess he's probably the guy who busted Josh out, but it was strange anyway.
no subject
Date: 2007-02-14 11:35 pm (UTC)But yeah, I was expecting to see that assistant coach in the ep, because it was weird for them to actually make their conversation relatively clear on the audio.
Yeah, that scene was weird. At first, it looked like the guy was looking at Josh expectantly, so I thought he was like a starving homeless guy hoping to get a taste of V's cookies (heh), and Josh was just being a dick by eating them in front of his face and not offering him anything.
