just gonna get my feet wet

Okay. Happy (happier) thoughts.

I'm sipping lemon tea and perusing the friends list for hopefully the last time tonight and talking to one of my favorite people from high school. And I'm listening to this song that Jeff sent me that I'm absolutely in love with. And I'm trying to clear my head so I can spend the rest of the night writing. I'm going to do it tonight. And then I'm going to call Dr. Mary tomorrow and make her love me again. And I'm going to get through the rest of this semester, and I'm going to figure out what happens after May 21 when May 21 rolls around. Cause I just can't do it any other way.

Since I've been spending most of my non-freaking out waking hours watching Veronica Mars, I've got a question that may or may not turn into babble.


So, about Logan's "air tight" alibi. In episode 12, Logan tells Ms. James that if Veronica hadn't spilled the beans about his kiss with Yolanda, he would have been with Lilly the night she died. But in episode 17, he tells Veronica he's glad his alibi held up, and she replies that with two eye witnesses that saw him out of the country, it's air tight.

This seems odd to me. Why would Logan a) be out of the country at the beginning of the school year, and b) think he would have been with Lilly the night she died if he was out of the country?

Now, okay, I could probably wank that Logan's parents yanked him out of school for some trip and that's why he was gone. Cause you know, that's plausible. And I could probably also wank that Logan assumes he would have chosen to stay home if Lilly hadn't broken up with him that week, that maybe he left to get away from her and everything. But...it just struck me as very odd, and abrupt, too. If Logan's alibi was so air tight, why didn't we hear about it before? When Veronica added Duncan to her suspect list, there was already a folder with Logan's name. If his alibi held up, wouldn't she have taken him off the list? Or at the very least, couldn't VMVO have at least mentioned it?

I'm not saying this means anything. It could just be a continuity goof thing, or it could be that Logan left because he thought Lilly was being a bitch. It just didn't sit right with me upon a rewatch, so I thought I would type it out and see what you guys think.


I should turn off the music and start thinking about Kurt Vonnegut. I have to get through this.

Okay, this is MY take on it.

We know that Logan's parents were in Nepal just before the murder, at least.

I'd always assumed Logan grabbed a couple friends and went to Tijuana or whatever to mope over his breakup or whatever. Since they never ACTUALLY said he was with his parents... *shrugs*

Hmmm, I keep forgetting that, being in Southern California, they're so close to the border. :P And that makes total sense that he would have left for the night for Mexico. For some reason, I guess the way Veronica said "out of the country," it didn't even occur to me that he would just take off for Tijuana.

This is why I ask these things. You guys are smarter than me. ;)

soooo much love for this song.

It's *so* hard to stop looking at the friends list! At any moment someone may have posted. It's more a compulsion than an an actual interest in every single thing that happens in every single community I belong to :p

Hmmm, I like to think the VM writers are good enough to avoid massive continuity errors. Then again, Wallaces' girlfriend did disapear out of nowhere.

Good luck with the paper! Getting through school with LJ must be a real bitch. And I'm not exactly helping :p

Exaaaactly. If I'm gone for awhile, I have to check again before I can get back to work. :P

Also, I'm thinking the VM writers are smarter than me and didn't make a goof, but I was trying to figure out what the point of the whole "all-the-sudden-he-has-an-airtight-alibi" thing was. Laura's comment at least made it more believable for me, I just wish they'd alluded to it earlier, or made a bigger deal out of Veronica finding it out or something.

And thanks! I swear I'm gonna go work on this paper...now! Or in a minute anyway. :P

OMG, We're sick! There should be a special group home for lj addicts where we work on our compulsion issues. Actually, that could be really fun.

I liked Laura's comments too. She rocks the house on VM theorizing. So rational it hurts.

I miss school but I don't miss that constant terrible sick feeling that you should be writing some paper. And then the even worse feeling when you're actually writing the paper. Only to be trumped by the even worse feeling of missing a deadline. I once had an advisor not let me hand something in because he said it wasn't ready. He advised me to miss a deadline! I've never known more panic than on that day :p
