152 insights into my soul

So watching the commercials for Scream 4 during Archer, how many chyx are friggin' in this? I mean, you have the cute and niced racked Alison Brie and Aimee Teegarden, 90210/Degrassi's Shenae Grimes, the teacher-dating and JB looking Lucy Hale and Britt Robertson, Hayden Panty-Airs, Julia Roberts' niece, Suckeh Stackhouse, Ronnie Mars, Marley Shelton, and of course Courteney Cox (wait, was it always spelled "Courteney"?! Who spells it like that?!) and Neve Campbell.

I'm also amused Anthony Anderson is in this given he was in the Scary Movies. Also, Seth Cohen. Heh, what has he done after the OC? The last thing I remember seeing him in was Jennifer's Body.

So, Hit Girl tweeted a pic of herself and Juliette Lewis, all gussied up which is all well and fine until you remember she just only turned 14 a couple of months ago.

I thought this was well done:



A Disney vid set to Glee's "Thriller/Heads Will Roll" mashup. I think the creator did a pretty good job of synching up the lyrics with appropriate scenes.

TV commentary:

Life Unexpected- Finally, they reveal what I suspected all along, that Baze's dad and Emma had an affair a long time ago! And now Lux knows!

So with Tash possibly in serious trouble, Lux finally decides to come clean on a lot of things. She also reveals that not only did that Valerie chick's husband smack her around, he molested her. (Interesting that it was Baze's dad who ended up being the one to deck the guy) And now her thing with Eric kinda makes sense! Though after hearing that, you'd think Eric would start to feel incredibly creepy and break it off.

Warehouse 13- Heh, when this ep started, I was all, "Who the eff is this Josh guy!?" Did I miss an ep or something? Then I remembered, he's Claudia's brother. Weird though, it wasn't until searching around the forums to figure out who Josh was that I realized Myka had left at the end of last ep. So this takes place sometime before then if she's still working at the warehouse? Not too far before then though, given Claudia's presents of T-shirts with pics of the artifacts that almost killed them on them, as some of those were relatively recent. Actually, Claudia's had that spoon thing, and wasn't HG around for that though?

TV Commentary:

Human Target- Gun gripe for the ep. At the party, Chance sees the sniper rifle on Guerrero's back and is all "M14?" But its not an M14, as it was a bolt action rifle that I'm too lazy to figure out what it is. I had to watch the ep again to make sure he didn't say M40, which is a bolt action. (Though the stock was not that of the A1 or A3 models). But according to the captions, he did say M14.

Although at the end in Geneva he was actually using an M14. Though he was using it after saying in the previous scene, "I'm going to need something with more power!" But in the earlier convo at the party, his response to Chance's "M14?" implied he was using because of the .308 cartridge. But since the rifle he was using later is also chambered for .308, there's no diff. Unless he meant "firepower" as in he's using a semi-auto rather than a bolt action.

Speaking of, while the M14 is a fine weapon, I'm not sure it would be the best choice to use for precision cover fire in the situation they were in. Its an accurate weapon, though it needs a lot of work to be "sniper" accurate. I mean, the reason special operations units use it in places like Afghanistan is its a more robust and reliable weapon than the other semi-auto choices, albeit less accurate. Well, "less accurate" is a relative term, its still precise enough to snipe someone from hundreds of meters away just not as precise as something like a PSG-1 or an M110 SASS. But with innocents and friendlies about, and needing the ability to make quick follow up shots, he could've picked a more accurate semi-auto since he was in a city and not the middle of the desert, so reliability wasn't an issue. Its not like there are dust storms in Geneva.

Life Unexpected- Heh, so this is where Declan from Degrassi has gone! Owel, with Life Unexpected more or less canceled, I guess not all Degrassi kids who get on a CW show hit it big. Well, maybe only if you're an attractive female, like Darcy (who's now Annie on 90210) or Mia (who plays both Katherine and Elena on Vampire Diaries). Or does it have to be an attractive female who used to date Peter? Anyways, its weird to see Declan as Anya from Buffy's son. But I digress, after covering for Lux for all the trouble she got into this ep, he transfers to the school and quickly figures out Lux and the teacher are secretly seeing each other. I'm guessing if this show wasn't getting axed, he would possibly break them up? Hey, at least he's age appropriate for her.

So that's why Lux is having trouble in school, because the husband of that chick from earlier in the season who Tasha was initially being fostered and we find out wanted to adopt Lux had smacked her around? And are they not coming after Lux and Tasha for Tasha beaning the guy in the head with a shovel after he attacked Lux again?

Cool, the new guy brought donuts from dough in the box! But he didn't announce it to the rest of the building. So there's a lot left over, which is bad, since I can't help myself. I've already had a powdered jelly, an apple-jelly filled one, a creme-filled chocolate covered one, and an undetermined number of donut holes.

You know what term is overused nowadays? No, this isn't another "jump the shark" rant. Too many people throw around "hot mess" too readily. I think they often prescribe it to situations that are disastrous, but not to hot mess levels!

TV commentary:

Life Unexpected- They sure like parading Britt Robertson around in these skimpy oufits. I mean, in this "candid" behind the scenes vid with the cast on set, they have walking around in a bikini top and short shorts, sucking on a Popsicle and acting all white trash with Math. (Which is kinda weird, given he plays one of her teachers on the show, and not the one she's currently having a thing with)

Glee- So, previews for the songs in the upcoming Rocky Horror Picture Show ep of Glee are out. Pretty good, though its weird that, in "Sweet Transvestite", they change the lyrics so the Frankenfurter is from "Senasational" rather than "Transsexual", Transylvania. I mean, I could understand them changing it to be cleaner, but the song is still "Sweet Transvestite", why would you need to censor "transsexual" when you're throwing around "transvestite"?

Fringe- ( Spoiler cut )

TV Commentary:

No Ordinary Family- ( spoiler cut )

Life Unexpected- Hey, nice surprise there in the beginning! ( spoiler cut )

Man, I'm already behind on TV. Stuff still in the queue:

Lonestar
Hawaii 5-0
OTH
Life Unexpected
NCIS

Upcoming stuff I can't wait for: (and an argument for me secretly being a teenage girl)

Community- The season premiere is this Thursday, and this will actually take priority over Vampire Diaries because I definitely want to see the aftermath of that Jannie kiss. Now, I don't want them to be all lubby-dubby and together or anything, because that would be totally terrible for the show if they were. In fact, I suspect Jeff will prolly totally freak out since he's in his mid-30s and Annie's like 19 or something. (Although, personally, I don't see what the big deal is, but of course, I would. Well, think that. Or rather wouldn't see the big deal.) I just don't want them to totally dismiss the pairing immediately, i.e. throw them together, it totally not work out, and never address it again.

Gossip Girl- Speaking of my favorite ships, I don't wanna jinx it, but my sources tell me they are gonna do Dair this season. In a few eps even. I'm like giddy with egg-citement!

Glee- Next week's Britney ep! I didn't think I would find it a big deal until I saw the promo:



Even though I like Madonna and Gaga more, I find myself even more excited for this ep than those others now that I've seen the preview. Brittany in all those classic Britney Spears looks, and I didn't notice this until my second viewing, but it looks like she and Santana will be re-enacting the Madonna/Britney "Me Against the Music" video. And Rachel in the Britney Spears "Hit Me Baby One More Time" school girl outfit?!

TV Commentary:

Sons of Anarchy- Some interesting reveals here that I won't spoil. But I was most amused by the one guy's pr0n star gf wanting to help with the deal they had going with the Chinese. And what deal? SAMCRO wants that one black biker gang to spy on those Mexicans trying to come in and smuggle dope, but they want a bunch of AKs for their troubles. So, Clay negotiates with the Chinese, who don't have a shipment of AKs readily available, but will sell them some MP5s. SAMCRO doesn't have the money, so the Chinese will let the pieces go for a trade- they get their pr0n star contacts to do a "special show" for some of his friends, and they have to be hottie snowflakes, because he already has enough Asian hookers. Anyways, what amused me was Lyla was wanting to do it, not just to help out the club, but basically because she has only a few years left in the business before she stops looking like hottie jailbait and no longer get work. Only she phrased it "before I stop looking like everyone's kid sister" which is kinda a weird way to put it since that can have incestuous overtones. I guess she means "your buddy's kid sister" as opposed to your own sister. Because while ill-advised, at least its not illegal to bang your friend's sister. I was so surprised at the phrasing that I didn't go spcv('Nice!') which in turn shocked clevemire. Amusingly enough, I did say spcv('Nice!') when Gemma was letting the hottie Latina nurse they had tied up in the basement use the bedpan. But only jokingly. Is it weird that I can go from sounding like a lame tween at the beginning of this post to a weirdo pervert further down?

Warehouse 13- Hmm, interesting end to the season. ( cut for spoilers )

Other: So, Heavy posted their Top 20 Hottest Videos of all time. What, no Fiona Apple's "Criminal"? I don't care what people say, its sexy! Anyways, there were a few videos I hadn't heard of, that are indeed sexy. Like Eric Prydz's "Call On Me". Hey, not only does it have sexy chyx (who aren't jailbait looking, so there's proof I like all types!), the song is a sort of cover of Steve Winwood's "Valerie", so that's pretty awesome.

Had dinner with the usual suspects at Eats. Don't think any of us had been there in a while. Though it does seem same old, same old.

TV Commentary:

You know, I watched the Hellcats pilot last week, but contrary to clevemire's belief that I'll continue to watch, I don't think I will. I mean, for a show about cheerleaders, they could use hotter girls as the leads (no offense to Keeley and Sharpay!). Plus none of the prospective couples seem all that interesting to me, so there's nothing I see "shipping". And Keeley is kinda a bitch to her mom, so you don't even get nice familial relationship stuff.

Life Unexpected- Wow, some significant changes in S2. Though one thing that annoys me about TV sometimes is when you have people sharing significant looks in front of people they shouldn't. i.e., they secretly like each other, or are secretly seeing each other, but they're with other people, or its a forbidden romance, like one's a student and the other's a teacher, or wot-not. But then they look at each other all soulfully in plain view of other people, particularly people that it would cause a big can of worms to open up if those other people notice. That being said, for some reason, even though such looks are quite overt, these other people are for some reason oblivious. Like Lux and teacher guy, they're staring at each other in full view of Math. And given his stalker-y tendencies towards her mother, you'd think he'd notice and report the guy and/or tell Baze. (Oh, and why don't more people think its creepy that Math is so familiar with Lux? I mean, yeah, she's the daughter of his bust friend, but she's also the daughter and almost mini-me version of the girl he had the biggest crush on in HS? Shouldn't him always hanging out with her daughter be kinda weird?)

Since they're relatively cheap, decided to upgrade my 8 gig flash drive to a 16 gig one over the weekend. So, I was pleasantly surprised that it arrived yesterday when I got home from work. Spent the next couple of hours doing laundry and switching rooms. I don't know if its good or bad that I was able to move everything around in a couple of hours. I mean, my room is by no means spartan, I have a fair amount of stuff. But I guess they're all in neat piles. Well, as neat a pile as you can have of various swords and airsoft pistols and machine guns. (And why the hell do I have handcuffs and a hardhat?)

TV commentary:

Chuck- Wait, this wasn't the season finale? I mean, it seemed very much like one, but there's new eps in three weeks. ( spoiler cut )

Gossip Girl- ( spoiler cut )

10 Things- ( spoiler cut )

Life Unexpected- ( spoiler cut )

TV Commentary:

Life Unexpected- ( spoiler cut )

Gossip Girl- Wow some real shockers tonight. Plus, what's up with these kids nowadays not knowing the movie "Dirty Dancing"? ( spoiler cut )

Damn, there's too much TV on Monday at 8. HIMYM on CBS, Chuck on NBC, House on Fox, and Life Unexpected on CW. And they're all tier one/two shows for me. Speaking of, I had Flashforward as Tier 2?! Weird. That's been bumped down to Tier 3. But Community has definitely graduated to Tier 2, so it evens out. Actually, Life Unexpected didn't exist when this list was made, but it would be Tier 2. And Gossip Girl is danger of dropping down to Tier 2. Actually, I will drop it to two, because the current storylines aren't that interesting to me, and it doesn't seem like that will improve any time soon. And since Dollhouse is dunzo, its gone from the list. Here's the new list (this time with cable shows thrown in)

( cut for your benefit )

But I digress, at least there's only 2 shows I watch at 9 (Gossip Girl and 24), and none at 10 (don't watch Castle or Damages, and I only catch up with L&O when I'm bored. It'll show up on TNT re-runs eventually)

TV Commentary:

House- Okay, pretty funny ep tonight. ( spoiler cut )

Gossip Girl- as I said, I just can't get into these new storylines, which is bad given there hasn't been a new ep since last year. ( spoiler cut )

Life Unexpected- ( spoiler cut )

24- Ah, this show with its nonsensical twists. ( spoiler cut )
