Pardon the absence from LJ in the past little bit. I've been sick since last Thursday and have been pretty much just playing games on the computer and coughing up a lung.

I haven't figured out the PS CS3 thing for my computer, either, so I'm using a trial version of CS4, although I got some info that will (in theory) make it a permanent thing. I've tried to call Adobe support about the issue but after sitting on hold for 30+ minutes, then being told to uninstall my AVG to correct the problem, it NOT working and then not being able to REINSTALL AVG I'm a little hesitant to call them back for fear of more things fucking up on my computer.

This is a brand new computer and yet I've already had to do a couple system restores due to the AVG issue, and something about my Catalyst something or other fucking up, which I think was due to me installing a desktop widget it didn't like, I don't know. I'm really liking Windows 7 but I continue to eye the computer warily.

Now, onto the real reason for this post: Finge.

( When did they move the eps to Monday?! )

I'm hoping that when I'm back on track health-wise I can get back into the swing of things, especially since my second job isn't working me three days a week anymore but I can't promise anything. My icon-foo is broken (I'm trying but it's not working) and I'm floating in fandom stagnation at the moment.

I started a complete Alias rewatch over the weekend and it's awesome.

Eeeeee!

*runs around wibble!foaming with flailing arms*

I had HOPED this was going to be an awesome ep cause a) it's Hurley and he's teh shit and b) I'd heard about the basic premise of the ep and it sounded so cool. AND IT WAS!!!

( In which Charlie and Jack should both die cause Hurley's the shit and why isn't he the leader of the whole goddamn island? )

And then there was Alias. ( Is the fact that I'm so sad and angry over the way this show has gone a sign of my devotion to it, or a sign that I'm THISCLOSE to calling up JJ and asking him what he smoked this season? )

*sniff sniff* No Vmars this week, none till the end of the month. Suckage. The show is crying for ratings and yet they do shit like this and put a huge hiatus on it, without even running re-runs so new viewers can try to catch on. I DON'T want this show to get canceled. I've only just discovered it. You CAN'T TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME! *clings to it like a howler monkey*

Also, in case you missed it last night, I posted part of my Gale/Randy RPS called Five. The first part, September can be read here. Comments make me gooshy. Yup, just like that.

Current Mood: excited

Well well well. What have we here? This ep... hmm. I liked it, sure. It wasn't as good as Solitary or Outlaws by any means but it was a fun, insightful episode. Yes, I said fun. Cause I laughed. Tee hee. I wasn't particularly jazzed about Jin's ep but I wasn't horribly repulsed either, like from a Jack episode (can he BE anymore boring?).

( In which the shit hits the fan )

( *pokes Alias* I see you moving in there, great-show-that-was. Come out before I beat you with a pointy stick )

( In which I finally feel the Logan love but am not converted to the v/l love )

Whew. Another week with a lot of tv.

I get my bursary next week so I should (hopefully) have my new computer by this time next week. Am so excited, could pee. *refrains*

I'm slightly starting to freak out over my papers so I have to get started on those. I want to have at least 3 pages done in my seminar paper by Friday.

I think I also might start posting the fic I've been working on soon. I've got four parts done already and another one started. So there will be three after this one I'm working on and the epilogue. So we'll see. I just have to get it betaed properly. Maybe. I might wait. Maybe till this part is finished. *is torn* Whatever. I'll see.

Current Mood: weird
Current Music: Ani DiFranco- As Is

Eeeee! What an episode! *wibble!foams*]

There was very little in terms of progressing the overall storyline involving the island and the mysteries it holds and all that jazz but there was GOOD character progression with a little big more island mystery thrown in and more links between the characters, so that was awesome. While it didn't answer anymore overarching questions, it allowed us a few funny moments and time to stop rolling our eyes AT the continuous dragging of the "WTF?" questions.

Did that make sense? Yes? No? Who knows? Who cares? ONTO THE REVIEW! ( Pretty, pretty Sawyer. )

( And the show-formerly-known-as-Alias )

( And finally, Veronica Mars )

I was commanded by

lucie_inthesky to watch E Talk Daily for the Queer as Folk clip on set. *sigh* I hate this show. Damn Ben Mulroney.

Also, *mourns hockey*

Whew! That's a lot of tv!

Current Mood: relieved
Current Music: E Talk Daily

Hmm. *ponders the ep* I'm a bit conflicted. I thought it was suspenseful, and fun and I wasn't sure what was coming, so that was good. But on the other hand Charlie's flashback did nothing for me but prove he's a whiny, needy recovering addict. So... huh. I'll go through my recap and see where it all ends up.

( In which Charlie rambles on about nothing and is really, really annoying OR The Lost men look hot wet. Because yes. )

Speaking of hairy donkey gonads - ( Alias is blowing them hard, eh? )

I'm trying to dl the torrent for last night's Veronica Mars. I started it this morning cause it wasn't put up till after 2:30 this morning. I'm at 66.3% and plodding along. I can't wait till CTV starts airing it here. Anyone have a set date on that? All I have is "Winter 2005", which should be before March 22, right?

More s5 spoilers came out today. I resisted, again. It was a bit harder this time but from the few stray comments people made I feel safe in saying I know what they are without even looking. It kind of irks me, the reaction they're getting, just because a couple weeks ago it was all- woe is me, die Cowlip die, and now everything's peachy keen. *clings to

qaf_optimists* We NEVER gave up hope!

And... yeah.

Eeee!

1)

nikita_80 is alive and well and back in the online world. *squeezes her tight and never lets her go* Yay for the non-deadness!

2) Tonight is Lost and Alias night! How can you go wrong! I went in knowing basically nothing about this ep outside of the promos but I had a good feeling and it SO paid off!

( Poor Hurley and his poo problems OR in which Hurley and Jin are SOOTPOMG4-EVA! )

( Alias stuff )

So that's the Wednesday night roundup for this week.

If I'm not working on Friday I'm going to go see the wonderful piece of garbage that will be Elektra. If anyone can sit through a trailer for that and not a) groan b) giggle or c) rejoice in the bad-ness you're blind and tasteless. If I didn't get to see it for free I wouldn't even rent it. But odds are I'll have to work as that's been the way things have been going for the past couple weeks, and that's fine too. I'll find out tomorrow. Maybe get my hair dyed. We'll see.

Also, I'm doing that drawing picture meme thing here for those of you who can see it.

Current Mood: blah
Current Music: The One You Love- Rufus Wainwright

Yay! Lost is back after a 3 week hiatus and Alias is back after ... *tries to count* awhile.

I'm watching the premiere of Alias as I type this and so far I'm unimpressed by the first half hour of the show, waiting to be wowed. I'll try not to let this affect my sparkling wit for the Lost review. *snort*

( In which I like Jack a little bit. For real. Stop laughing. )

Some thoughts on the premiere of Alias ( I'll have to wait and see... )

bamagal205 I got your package today and it was such a surprise! I wasn't expecting anything at all and then I got something from you and it just made my day! I LOVE the card and the bits? Stuff? Sprinkles? (brain fart) inside and the ornament is lovely! It's hanging on my wall. If I had a decent window I'd hang it there. Guess I'll have to wait till I move. Thank you so much!

Also, I FINALLY got notification that the Rufus CD I ordered last month is being shipped. Fuckers. I was thisclose to calling them but I didn't think they would tell me anything but - We can't change when the warehouse gets stock, we'll notify you when it's shipped. But it's coming! Rage subsiding.

Tomorrow I'm going to get my hair cut, finally, and check out my schedule. I need to book off the 18th (for RENT!!! OMGSQUEEWIBBLE!FOAM!!!) and get groceries and stuff. I'm going to looooove this Tuesdays/Thursdays off thing. Although, if things go as we're all expecting they will I might have an extended vacation after this weekend. My uni's profs are taking a vote tomorrow over whether or not to strike because they've been without a contract for the past year and a half. Talks broke down before Christmas (profs are demanding reduced classes and sizes, which I totally support) and a conciliator was unsuccessful. As long as I don't lose my year and they don't strike for long, I'll fine with it. *crosses fingers*

nikita_80 is still MIA. Have sent an email to see if she's okay.
