Nothing else matters ...

I still haven't watched Lost. You know, I wish I could type with a southern accent without it looking all stupid and being hard to read. Why? you ask. Well, because I said that first sentence in my head with a southern accent and it was way cooler than saying it normally. True story.

Good news ... I managed to find a widescreen copy of the unrated director's cut of Land of the Dead at Best Buy. Word, debalita, no full screen for us! Actually ebarnon found it. And then we stood there for 5 minutes checking and double checking to make absolutely sure that we had WIDESCREEN and not stinky full screen. We did. Yay.

I'd like to take a moment now to wax poetic about season 6 of The X-Files. Yes, I'm slightly obsessive. You know that, though. Ye, Gods! Season 6 is awesomely awesome. There's all this tension between Mulder and Scully and Mulder gets to say THE BEST line ... "I do not *gaze* at Scully." Always funny. Always. And then there's the writing. Triangle - still one of the best episodes I've seen. The writing! The directing! It all came together beautifully. Have I mentioned that my absolute favorite B-movie actor gets a whole episode to do his thing? Yes, Bruce Campbell gets to be a demon! Eeeee. Being a demon is right up there with being a heroic convict who saves the world from an alien invasion (Terminal Invasion) or an astronaut who saves the world from an alien invasion (Alien Apocalypse) or an S-Mart clerk who saves the world from hordes of deadites (Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness). Is anybody else sensing a theme here? Anyway. And then we have the oh-so-awesome Christmas ep. The Ghosts Who Stole Christmas is probably one of the most original Christmas themed episodes of anything I've ever seen. It's not your typical fare. It's just FUN! I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that season 6 is probably my favorite season. Whoo-hoo! And I'm not even up to Arcadia. That's the ep where Mulder and Scully get to play house, for those of you not up with your episode names. I.can't.wait.

Okay. I'm pretty much done for the night. On the computer. I think I have some scary movies to watch. Out.

Thank you for the awesome birthday wishes. I'm older. I'm sick. I stayed home from work today. On the other hand, I finished The X-Files season 5, watched The X-Files movie and have either 5 or 6 episodes left for Lost. I think I accomplished quite a bit on my birthday.

I also think I need to start wrting down some of the things I've been noticing in my re-watch of Lost. Things like - Fathers play very pivotal roles. Jack's father, Locke's father, Sawyer's father, Sun's father ... they all hold big pieces of the flashback puzzle. I'm just saying.

Okay, now I have to start getting back to journalling regularly.
Later.

Wtf's up with the "school" thing on my user info page? Oh, nevermind. I'm not all that interested at the moment.

So ... Lost. ( The Hatch, The Numbers, The Big Boom )

Ahahahahaha! Cole just put a purple rubber glove on. Now, that's entertainment!

Invasion - I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. It seems like a show I should really like, but I felt like it was a little disjointed. I'll give it another chance or two, but ... we'll see.

Supernatural - ( Jensen Ackles, Teh Hot, Creepy-Crawlies )

Did I really need to cut that? Probably not.
I'm out suckers. I have last Friday's shows to watch. Still.

I have two more episodes left in season 4 of The X-Files. I always find it funny that by the end of the season I'm trying to rip through the eps just to get them done with. Yet, I'll start the next season asap. I'm a strange creature.

I watched the pilot ep for Stargate: Atlantis again. Now I need to get the rest of season one in my hot little hands so I can write more SGA stories. And have them make sense. Because who wants to read stories that don't make sense? Seriously.

My sister brought the wedding pictures over. The ones that she's going to have to pay for. The ones she had a professional photographer take. To be quite candid, they're not very good. There are a couple of well composed shots but the bulk of them look rather amateur. In short, I think the disposable cameras left on the tables turned out better candid shots than the expensive photographer that my sis had to have. Even the posed bridal party shots are ehhh. Too much space between people. I'm crushed against a wall in another. I'm not impressed.

Ooh! Time for pizza.
Later!

ETA
I made some icons.

( 18 multi fandom )

Hee! I will admit that I've had fun making layouts and icons these past two days. My wrist hurts something fierce now, but I had fun.
Just to recap ... I've made 4 new headers for various sites (yes, 3 of the headers belong to one site. What's your point?) and 20+ icons. This last part is particularly amazing since I usually make 0 to 3 icons at any given time. Seriously I sometimes try to make icons and make none, hence the zero.

Onto fangirly stuff ...
Pterodactyl - fun to type, not so fun to watch. *looks off into the distance while having the next thought* Although watching people get snatched and eaten by prehistoric creatures was pretty funny.
The X-Files season 4 - I've watched through episode 17. Outstanding. Absolutely outstanding.
Battlestar Galactica - Eeeeeee! I have to watch it again. I don't feel that I gave it the proper amount of attention the first time. Plus, I haven't really watched SG1 or SGA yet (I was working on the rotating headers during the Stargates and fine tuning it during commercial breaks for BSG). However, Sci-Fi Friday isn't on next week so I can either save them for then or watch them now. It's really up to me. Whee!

Speaking of BSG, I'm going to start playing a little game that I like to call "Spot Tyrol". Since Aaron Douglas has been in a ton of movies that I've seen/adore I'm going to start looking for him in every movie I watch.
Movies Aaron Douglas has been in that I've seen: White Noise, Catwoman, Chronicles of Riddick, I, Robot, Saved!, Paycheck, X2, and the miniseries Taken.
He's played such roles as: "Corporal", "Stryker Soldier #1", "Scientist #3", and "Paramedic".
Look at the background players next time you're watching a movie that I'd watch and see if you can Spot Tyrol!
Hee!

I'm off. Or something.

Some thoughts on BSG

( Home pt 1 )

jenahna and her son stopped by today. Jenn got to be the first to see my super dark hair. It's nearly black. Well, not really black but it's pretty darn dark. I think I like it. I'll know after tomorrow.

Just to quell a pesky rumor ... I am NOT a Cylon. Don't believe anything you read to the contrary.

I want to add more icons but I haven't run across any that reach out and grab me. With both hands. In a chokehold. Basically, I've stalled out at 60. *crosses fingers that I'll find more that attack and maul me*

Okay. I'm out.

I made pancakes for Cole this morning. From scratch. Yes, it's true. It's also true that I didn't know you could make pancakes with anything but Bisquick until I saw the movie Matilda. I am sometimes lame and not very smart.

Anyway. My pancakes turned out wonderfully. Of course, Cole only wanted one and I had to make an entire batch so I have a whole bunch of batter hanging out. Psst ... tinamishi, I could live with you and make the kids pancakes every day. Except for the days that I make scrambled eggs. In case you're confused, this has to do with me quitting my job and moving in with you to mooch off you and your family. All part of The Plan, baby! *g*

I watched a couple of eps of The x-Files last night. The one where Skinner bangs the prostitute who ends up dead in his bed (and who's played by Amanda Tapping) and the one where Mulder is hunting Big Blue (also know as the one where Scully's dog bites it). Both of them were quite excellent. Whoo-hoo!

Happy Birthday kimbrchick!!!!!

Time to get back to work.

Hey! Somebody! I'm bored. Cole's monopolizing my TV and my mom's watching the news. I can only take so much of the news. Then they keep repeating all the stories over and over again and I can't listen anymore. I mean, seriously, I've heard about the "early morning raid on an illegal pot farm in the Santa Cruz mountains" where some of the "guards" for the farm traded gunfire with the Fish and Game officers about 15 times. No more. It's like when you watch those entertainment shows and they just keep giving you the same information about Britney Spears and her twins and her stupid husband and how he can't afford anything because she put him on an allowance. Please. I stopped caring after the 2nd time I heard about it.

I've been watching The X-Files again. Season 3. I think I'm up to episode 14. I was planning on watching more than one ep today, but Cole wanted to watch cartoons. He's the sick one, he gets priority. So I only watched the ep with the two girls with the same birtdhay who were killing people. The one with a young Ryan Reynolds (yum). No, I can't pronounce, much less spell, the title. But you know what I mean.

Stargates and BSG tonight! I can't wait for SG-1. I'm really digging Ben Browder. Does everybody realize that the new doctor (umm, maybe she's not new, but I didn't watch many eps from last season. Although now that I'm thinking about it the new General mentioned something about how she's fitting in, so maybe she really is new) is Lexa Doig, Michael Shanks' real-life wife? They're cute. But not as cute as Vala and Daniel together. You know what I'm saying?

Okay. I'm done.

Have I ever gone into detail about my love affair with peanut butter? I could eat peanut butter day in and day out. Really. In fact, I walk down the peanut butter aisle in the grocery store and the peanut butter rejoices. For it knows it will fulfill it's purpose.

Now, although I could eat peanut butter for every meal, I don't. Mostly because I fear the high fat content. Still, PB&J ... yummy.
What am I talking about?

I think I may take a short break from The X-Files this weekend to perhaps watch some of my movies that have been patiently waiting for me to get to them. Such as Troy. I've had that one since January and have yet to watch it. Someone has theorized that it's because Orlando Bloom is such a (and I quote) "pussy the way he climbs up the Hulk's leg".

Once again, where am I going with this?

I bought Howie Day's Stop All the World Now at Best Buy today. It has 'Collide' on it. Perhaps listening to it excessively will help get it out of my head. Probably not, but I'll try it anyway.

Time to get Cole to bed.
Toodles.

Allergies suck. Seriously. They suck. I speak from personal experience. Specifically, the way my eyes are all itchy to the point where I had to take a nap earlier with a towel over them because they were freaking ANNOYING me! Grr.

*ahem* I've watched through episode 18 of XF s2. That would be the episode Fearful Symmetry. Unless I'm counting wrong and epidsode 18 is some other episode, in which case I've still watched through Fearful Symmetry regardless of what number episode it is. Makes sense? Right. Fearful Symmetry (which has now been said more times in one paragraph than ever before in the history of the written word) is, of course, the episode where the zoo animals are being abducted, impregnated, and re-abducted. I'm really enjoying a lot of these episodes that I didn't necessarily love when I watched them before.

Last night were two mythology episodes ... Colony and End Game. Mythology eps rock my socks. Tonight ... The 4400. Shawn! The healing!

Cole's party is coming along. Oh, did I mention that his birthday party is next weekend. There's going to be a pinata, a bounce house, homemade decorations (which are COOL!), a Star Wars cake (not homemade, except that the decorations will be added by me) and a general Star Wars theme. Yay! Star Wars! I really need to finish making the decorations. Really.
