tommygirl: (burn notice - fi)
So new episodes of Greek began airing last night. It's sitting on my dvr to be watched when I have a free moment not taken up by insanity. I also got a present from Amazon today - it didn't say who sent it - but it was Supernatural Season 4. Maybe it's a sign that I'm supposed to finish the flipping season already. I don't know what my deal has been with finishing up the season. Yeah, part of it is that I don't want my boys at odds with one another, but it's not like I don't know that I'll end up at least liking (probably loving) the episodes. At the very least, I could finally catch up on tons of fic that is based on the whole season. And really, sometimes a girl needs her fic priorities.

I got a few Borders gift cards too and since this is me, I went and spent it right away. And it was perfect timing as they had seasons of Felicity AND Alias on sale, so I was able to finish up my collections of both of those shows. I'm especially excited to get seasons 3 and 4 of Felicity, especially three as it's one of my favorites. And I was the girl who wanted Felicity to get BOTH boys. I loved her with Ben, but I also loved her with Noel as they both complemented her in different ways.

As for Alias, I picked up the last two seasons. Not my favorites, but a girl never tires of Sydney kicking ass and Spy!Daddy doing whatever necessary. Still think that Will shouldn't have disappeared...even though it doesn't seem to have hurt Bradley Cooper's career at all.

**

I'm now slowly catching up on Burn Notice. I *finally* finished season two and am into season three. I know I've mentioned it before, but it needs repeating: I love Michael/Fi. As a team, I love Michael, Fi, and Sam, and as much as Fi & Sam bicker, you just know they'd have each others backs regardless of Michael at this point. But really, I just love Fi. I think she's the one woman on the planet who can pull off a fanny pack and look cool and tough. And Michael just needs to suck it up and go with it.

**

I finished reading Generation Kill last week. Good book that made me want to pull out my dvds. And now I'm reading One Bullet Away by Nathaniel Fick. I really like the very different views of everything. Wright came at it as a reporter and Fick was in the heart of these battles with real lives on the line. I'm about halfway through and I think what I'm enjoying most is the way Fick explains all these life philosophies that were instilled him. Not just blow shit up, but ways of viewing the world.

There's also a chance I'm a bit biased toward marines, as crazy as they are. My brother was a marine and he served in the first gulf war.

**

So I'm trying really hard to adhere to a budget lately. Mostly out of necessity with house things coming up and such. But I cheated and bought myself two birthday gifts. One was a specialized mouse pad of Stitch that says "TommyGirl" because I'm a big loser. The other was season two of Digging for the Truth on dvd, only further proving that I'm nerd. But I loved that show. And not just because Josh was hot. It was interesting and funny (not on purpose - but whoever did the planning of their journeys really should've been fired) and yes, Josh is very hot.

Is it normal to play Wii Rockband and walk away with the strong urge to play drums? Because now I want a drum set and nobody but me thinks this is a good idea.
tommygirl: (entourage - hug it out)
Friday is here! Weekend is almost upon me! And I have no real plans aside from continuing with unpacking and doing some reading/writing.

**

I can't believe it's almost October. In two weeks it's birthday weekend for Mylia and I get to hang out with some of my favorite people. Then the following weekend is [livejournal.com profile] winchestercon. Alas, I can still only make it for Saturday, but I would love to meet some of you for lunch and/or dinner! I really wanted to do the whole shebang, but this owning a house thing ate up alot of my money and I can't really afford a hotel in Baltimore, no matter how much I want to. Stupid mortgage and growing up!

But yes, dear friends list, those going to [livejournal.com profile] winchestercon, let me know if we can meet up! I love you guys and want to hang!

Also, [livejournal.com profile] pheebs1 and [livejournal.com profile] ladybug218 are helping me with [livejournal.com profile] win_non_con this year, but if any of you aren't going to the actual con and can help with the online version, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm hoping this weekend to get together the itinerary.

**

And on the topic of Supernatural...let's talk last night's episode.

There will be spoilers...you are warned... )

Note: As long as you don't share spoilers with me (beyond the preview that's aired), I'm up for any discussions. I tend to squee, but I have no problems if people have issues so long as we all play nice.

**

I finally watched the summer finale of Burn Notice. All I will say is thank GOD it's coming back in January! And I love Michael! And I love Sam! And I love Fi! And I love Michael and Fi! And...such a good show.

**

Yesterday I asked for first lines and I would write ficlets. It's not too late to play, so long as I know the fandom. I'm not doing them in any order. Mostly going with whatever strikes my muse. I really need to do some writing.

**

Finally, will the debate happen tonight? I was all excited it for it before McCain started pulling this stuff. I want my nerdy goodness, dammit.
tommygirl: (burn notice - stealthy)
Last night my sister and I got around to watching the pilot of In Plain Sight. Considering Mary McCormack really isn't someone I'm overjoyed by (I think it goes back to her West Wing character, who I really didn't take a liking to), I really enjoyed her in this role.

I kinda saw it as a Veronica Mars, all grown up & bitter, working as a US Marshall. She's snarky and hates being vulnerable, but you can tell she cares dammit and it pisses her off.

I'm really a sucker for snarky, tough women. And I loved her banter with the other marshall. It's awesome.

Definitely recommend checking it out.

**

I'm really getting sick of all these teasers for the new season of Burn Notice that don't actually include any new scenes/clips. I want some new stuff. I'm an impatient girl who has been waiting since October for more Michael Weston.

And if someone had told me five years ago that my favorite channel would be the USA network, I would've laughed a lot. But 4400 (which I miss), Psych, Monk, Burn Notice...and now In Plain Sight. Really good stuff.

**

I might actually get myself caught up on Battlestar Galatica in the near future. I'm almost through season three. The Lee/Kara dance is really starting to annoy me. I love both Lee and Kara on their own. They rock, but together, they just bug me lately. And I started as a L/K shipper, so this is surprising to me. I guess it wouldn't be so bad if I didn't love Anders and Dee as well...because seriously, stop jerking them around.

Once I'm caught up on that, I have to decide which comes next - Reaper or Lost. Anyone want to pick for me?
tommygirl: (chuck - bff)
So far, my new favorite show of the fall television season is Chuck. It is awesome. I love Chuck. I want to marry him and have all his spy computer brain babies!

Supernatural still owns my heart, of course. And that starts this week. I am completely unspoiled (as I prefer to be), and cannot wait for it. Sam and Dean just make me so happy, even when I find myself worrying about them. And y'all know my obsession of Dean just gets worse day after day. I need therapy.

Finally watched the Burn Notice finale. That was such a great wrap-up of the first season, but I'm intrigued with where they're going to take this and I don't want to wait until next summer for more! That's just not right. I guess in the meantime, I'll have to write my Dean Winchester as a spy who gets burned fic.

Speaking of fic...I actually finished one story recently. It's a fic for the Supernatural remix, so I can't share it yet, but it didn't turn out too bad. Now I must finish the Spn/Blade Trinity crossover story. It has stalled at fifteen pages. I really need to wrap that up, preferably before new canon ruins it.

Random: Anyone know whether you can upload a mood theme of your own if you have a paid account?
tommygirl: (carrie - sex & city)
I don't know what's worse - that I watched the Posh Spice comes to America thing on Bravo channel or that I actually found myself liking her.

I'm blaming my illness.

And I may have watched Justin's performance on Oprah a few dozen times. Stupid boy. Why can't I quit him? WHY?

I haven't watched Gossip Girl yet because it was the finale of Last Comic Standing. I chose it over a show I'm not sure about. I enjoyed the first few books from the series and KB is the narrator, so I'll give it a try, but I'm in no hurry.

Burn Notice season finale is tonight and I'm very sad. I love this show. It's perfect fun. I love all the characters. I love the snark. I love the spy stuff. It's just good stuff all around. Seriously, who knew the day would come when USA Network would have a slew of great shows that I love immensely?

**

So continuing with my ongoing obsession theme of adding Dean Winchester to every single show/movie/book that I love...I was watching my Friday Night Lights dvds today - better than chicken soup for sickness - and started thinking out this whole AU world where Mary lived and the WInchesters had this normal life and Dean played football, but got badly hurt and oh noes...

Dear Dean Winchester,

You own me. We know this. Must you take over everything?

Love,

Tommygirl
tommygirl: (philadelphia story 2)
I cannot for the life of me finish this damn Supernatural crossover story. I don't know if I have a mental block or I'm just realizing more and more needs to get added to it, but I'm about ready to just kill off every character. Even my Winchester boys. And that's upsetting.

**

Yesterday, I got sucked into the Burn Notice marathon and then despaired that there are only two episodes left. Does anyone know if it's coming back in January like Psych or if it's going the route of 4400 with no new episodes until next summer? So upsetting. I love the show. It's perfect as it is and I just love Michael.

Why do I always love the characters that are somewhat emotionally stunted and enjoy the loner lifestyle yet still care about people a whole lot?

**

I also can't get the idea for a Dean Winchester story out of my head set post All Hell Breaks Lose part two. Basically, it's Dean taking time amidst the hunting to make himself a life list and to scratch things off...because in case Sammy can't get him out of his deal (though Sam won't hear talk otherwise), he wants to have done certain things. And it pisses Sam off when he finds the life list because he thinks Dean is giving up and Dean just gets pissed off that Sam won't let him have this. So Sam finally relents and they do things like visit the Grand Canyon and go fly fishing and listen to Italian for beginners on tape.

Dear brain,

Please stop with this. I'm already behind on everything. Do I need more bunnies? No.

No love,

Me

Tonight is the Justin Timberlake concert. Not my first one, doubtful it will be my last. I love my Nsync boys. No matter how much time passes, they still own my heart at times, even if they are now battling with Jared & Jensen for control.

**

Burn Notice continues to be made of awesome. It's smart and funny and I love the characters. I really love Michael and his relationships with the people he loves. They drive him crazy, but he would never let anything happen to them because they matter. It's so perfectly true to real relationships...we all have one (or a few) people who you love and would do anything for, but they can drive you bugger rather quickly.

**

Lunch on Sunday with some friends where we discussed the seventh Harry Potter book. Good times. We all enjoyed it...though my friend brought up some interesting questions of small details that I already couldn't recall. I think I need to go back and read the book a bit slower this time, so I can fully take in the details and the world.

Spoilers for the book...don't read on if you don't want to know about the book... )

**

Pandora.com has a thing for Hootie & the Blowfish. Or else it thinks *I* do. I have a Jason Mraz station and no matter how many times I click "don't like" for a Hootie song, another one comes up. It's awful. Make the bad Hootie stop.
tommygirl: (brothers & sisters - tommy & justin)
This was a completely lazy weekend on my part. Friday I saw the new Harry Potter movie. Yesterday, my sinuses were terrible so I pretty much slept most of my day away. When I was awake, I read a bit or watched the Lifetime Movie Channel's Christmas in July moviethon. Today, I was a little more productive at least. I did some laundry, straightened up my room, baked cupcakes, and updated my website with all the stories I've written since March. It wasn't a whole lot, but I still hate coding like whoa.

I also worked on some girl!Eric/Vince Entourage fic. I usually write stories in order, but this one...I just had this idea that would have to be set closer to the end of the story and decided to write it down before I forgot it. It's not too bad for a first draft. Also added another 500 words to Winchester Meets Halliwell. It's truly the neverending story. I think too big, my friends. I must stop that.

**

I finally watched the first two episodes of Burn Notice and I love it. It's funny and smart. And I was hooked when the little boy was crying and Michael was like, "Are you crying? Please don't cry." Why do I love the emotionally retarded guys all the time? What does that say about me?

I still have this past Thursday's episode to watch and I'm very excited. And seriously, why do I think Dean Winchester would fit so well into the spy world? It's a sickness, people. I always insert Dean Winchester into *everything* - it's way past obsession.

Tonight there is new Entourage, Flight of the Conchords, and 4400, but I'm probably going to try to watch Psych and Eureka as I'm a tad bit behind on my television. And it doesn't help that the GH spin-off, NIght Shift features Patrick/Robin pretty predominantly, which means I had to watch it. I love Patrick/Robin and they're one of the only reasons I still watch GH these days.

A few recs:

-[livejournal.com profile] vinlyroad has finished her Supernatural Sam/Jess/Dean story and it's awesome. The latest part is called The Odd Number. I suggest you read the other two stories in the series as well. I love her Jess and the dynamic she creates with the three of them. And really, I just love her style of writing. (And sure, I'm biased as her friend/beta, but it's good stuff yo!)

-[livejournal.com profile] shay_renoylds finished up Eating Gifted Children, the story I requested from her for Sweet Charity. It's a Heroes/Supernatural crossover featuring two of my favorite sets of brothers. It's a wonderful, fun read. I love it.

-[livejournal.com profile] iamtheenemy wrote some awesome Panic! fic, Counting Down the Days ‘Til You’re Walking Through My Door. It's Brendon/Ryan and it's hot and funny and Steph needs to write more often. ::prods her::

**

Alrighty, I am going to try to catch up on friends list tonight and maybe do a bit more writing. Though chances are I'll read the friends list and then get distracted by my re-reading of Harry Potter for book seven.

Speaking of book seven, i do not want to be spoiled! Please cut anything that is spoilerish when you post it. And keep anything spoilery away from my journal. I would greatly appreciate that. I found out about book five's big spoiler because I was weak and it ruined the experience of reading it to an extent, just dreading what was coming...so yeah, I learned my lesson, so please help me out.
