tommygirlI'm feeling a lot better today, which is good considering I really don't want to miss another day of work and weep at the state of my desk when I return.
But being home sick did give me time to rewatch two of my favorite shows...
I love Nathan. I love Nathan so much and I feel like saying, "oh in your face" to all the people who think that Nathan is evil incarnate. Selfish jackass? Yes, I'll give you that, but he loves his brother something fierce and while he might not do things the right way, he does it out of a place of trying to protect Peter in his own way.
And dude, him with the unshaven look...saying he loves his brother and kissing him...gah. So adorable. I'm a sucker for close sibling relationship and dude, the Petrelli boys are right up there with Sam & Dean Winchester and Chris & Wyatt Halliwell now. Permanent love.
I also loved the Nathan & Hiro scenes. Hiro is just freaking adorable and even hardened Nathan smiles around him.
The stuff with the sword was funny.
How much do I love Claire? And how she doesn't give up on Zach or wallow? She goes about starting things over, except now she's removed her father from his pedestal and isn't so afraid of her powers. She's probably grown the most since the first episode.
I love Micah and DL's okay, but really the Nikki stuff isn't that interesting in the scope of the rest of the storylines.
Peter became invisible! Peter was all emo and trying to get out of the city, but that just seems like a really bad idea.
Dear Kring,
Give Mohinder something to do really soon. I like that he told Mr. Bennett to basically go fuck himself, but he needs more to do.
Love,
Tommygirl
Overall, it was a great return from hiatus and I can't wait to see where it goes...
And then 24 broke my brain, but when doesn't it?
I guess I always assumed Jack's parents were dead because they were never mentioned. And wouldn't Kim have depended on them after Jack "died" so she wasn't completely alone? What kind of falling out did he have with his family? And how does a family like that (from what we've seen thus far) create a Jsck Bauer?
Dude. That guy is Jack's BROTHER? I don't care how alienated you are from someone, why would you want your own flesh and blood in a Chinese prison camp? Or dead? That's a whole new level of greed and profiteering.
Okay, how was Rena Sofer Jack's ex? I mean, Kim's what? About 24? So he was married to Terry for then...did he have an affair before Nina or are we supposed to believe that this woman isn't over jack after a quarter of a century?
Please tell me main terrorist turned peacemaker guy is not going away. He's so hot. I want him to stick around.
I love this show. Everytime I think I have a handle on what's going on and where they're going to take this, they just blow me away.
Other television:
Dresden Files was okay. I love the books a lot, so I knew it would be hard to live up to them, and I'm trying to make my peace with some of the small changes. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't the strongest start. I just hope it gets better because the guy is HOT.
the Class continues to be hysterical. I'm so not the normal CBS sitcom girl, but this show is crazy fun.
NCIS I'm at the end of season three and I love it so much. I'm a Tony girl, but I love them all. Such good stuff.

Ryan Gosling got nominated. He kicked ass in that role and that movie was so freaking good. I know he probably won't win, but it's just so cool that the academy acknowledged him with a nomination.
A little miffed that Dreamgirls didn't get a best movie nod. I loved that movie. It was so freaking good. Mostly I'm peeved that I have to see Babel, when I'm in my anti-Pitt mood. Tomorrow night I'm going to see Pan's Labryinth so that will take care of one of the many movies I still need to see.
Overall, there weren't a ton of surprises with the nominations, but Ryan Gosling just makes me so happy!

The Tuesday Ten:
1. How would you describe your High School self? Maybe there's a neat lil stereotype you fit in, maybe not, but tell me what you woulda put on your passport back then. Nerd. Cool Kid. Band geek. Drama student. etc etc(Me? I was no doubt a nerd to some, a rebel to others, never really the cool kid, never really the geek, just lil middle of the road Mel.)
There were two versions of me in high school. I was popular and bitchy and participated in everything for my first two and a half years. After that, I sorta became more comfortable in my own skin and realized that popularity wasn't worth having people you really couldn't count on as friends...so I mostly stuck with the drama squad after that. That said, my school was not the typical high school...the popular kids weren't the football players and the cheerleaders. In fact, we tended to mock the cheerleaders. We were more a school where the cool kids were smart and took part in government and theater.
2. Fave subject at school?
My law class was my favorite class. We took a trip to hear a Supreme Court case in DC. Very cool.
3. If you're done with school, think you'll ever go back? Study something else? If you're still at school of some sort, what are you studying now?
I want to get my masters/doctorate in either English Literature or Creative Writing.
4. Fave teacher?
Mrs. Mueller, my fifth grade teacher
5. Alternatively, worst teacher? My junior year English 3AP teacher. She was just...she based every grade she gave you on your very first paper. No matter what I did in her class, I could not get better than an 88...she was out to get me, I swear. And she was convinced, based on my emo creative writing, that I was mentally unstable and kept trying to get me to "talk" to her.
6. Which of your current fandoms really pwns your soul right now?
Supernatural! Heroes is a pretty close second though.
7. Which of your current fandoms are you not-so-much with the obsessive love right now, but you're not quite ready to let go?
Gilmore Girls. It still has it's good moments. And I do like Lorelai/Christopher, but it's nowhere near the par of earlier seasons.
8. Which two of your current fandoms would have the most fun getting together for some crossover action? Characters, actors, I dont mind which.
Supernatural & 24! Dean WInchester and Jack Bauer would be an awesome team! Terrorist are working with a group of demons...and only those two can save the world! (Feel free to write this for me - wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
9. Which guest character/actor/MOTW/etc etc would you most like to see pop up in your fave fandoms canon?
Adam Baldwin as a badass hunter on Supernatural!
10. If the world of your favourite fandom was real, what would your Mary-Sueing self get up to there?
Well, in Supernatural, I would totally be needing Sam and Dean's help because I lived in an evil demon house last year.
