evergleamOh man. I was up til nearly 730 this morning. It never stops being weird going to bed after the sun has come back up.
On the list fortoday tonight:
1. SEM! I swear, I'm on my tenth chance with Dr. Mary and if I blow this one I'm really not going to be allowed to graduate.
2. Email Kate about my project for rhetoric class. Provided I finish my sem, I'm going to have fun with this one.
3. Do the mountain of dishes I've let pile up in the sink so Chris can clean her fishies.
4. Fold the mountain of laundry on my bed so I have clean, non-wrinkled clothes to wear tomorrow.
5. Call my dad and tell him my car won't start again. That'll be a fun conversation. I think I'll call the garage that "fixed" it and ream them out tomorrow.
6. Figure out just how behind I am in my Latin America class. Possibly take the online test that was supposed to be taken last week. Eeeep.
7. Make myself some food, cause a bowl of seedless red grapes does not a good dinner make.
8. For the love of mustard, turn off last week's ep of Veronica Mars. I can't get anything done while it's on.
Speaking of VM, some belated I've-watched-this-episode-ten-times-in-a-row thoughts on 1x19.
--I absolutely love the way Keith says "only cause I am" when Veronica tells him he thinks he's slick. I love them and he has to be her father or I might cry.
--I'm just not feeling Alyson Hannigan in this role. At all. I didn't mind her much at first, but the more I watch it the less I like her. Which is sad, cause I adored her as Willow, but I just think she's frightfully mis-cast here. Something about the way she delivers the line "it's so unattractive in a guy" just grates, man. Although, I did like the idea that Trina was purposely hamming up her injuries there, like she knew it would cause her brother and/or father to go ballistic on Dylan. Maybe when she figured she couldn't weasel the money out of anyone, she'd just get them to beat the boyfriend up so she wouldn't have to make good. In which case...I guess I'd have to look at Trina and AH's performance a little differently.
--That Mandy girl scares me. I hope she doesn't come back, although there was a shot in the promo that looked like it might have been her. But seriously, that eye rolling thing she did at the end when she got her dog back? Cree-py.
--I've taken to saying Drink! every time a character on the show says Veronica's first and last names. I think it's funny. I'm not sure anyone else does. :P
--I've seen other people say this, but as soon as I saw Amanda Seyfried in the credits, I thought we'd be getting some sort of Lilly reaction to Veronica/Logan, so when I heard her voice in the back of Logan's car the first time, I squeaked a little bit. The scene ended up being adorable, but I was still a little disappointed. And now that we're so close to the end and I'm so sure things are going to go south between them very soon, I'm not sure we're going to get it. (Although, there's a ton of stuff I want that we'll never get--like a whole lot more scenes of Logan and Veronica as friends back in the day--especially now, a flashback of Logan with Lilly would be really intersting.)
--I LOVE the way Veronica says "train wreck" and points to herself with her thumbs when she's breaking up with Leo. It's so cute and perfectly Veronica and yeah. Hee.
--I really hope Wallace gets some sort of decent storyline next season (wee! next season!). I love him so much and it makes me sad that a lot of the time he just ends up being the buttmonkey. Cause the way he was all "help a broth-ah out" was so adorable that I just want give him a big hug.
Anyway, rambling. I'm gonna go get started on my to do list. And stop watching Veronica Mars, I swear.
Why isn't it Tuesday, yet?

Date: 2005-04-24 08:49 pm (UTC)I would *love* some flashbacks of Veronica and Logan from back in the day. I was thinking today that in the flashbacks, Logan is more like he is now with Veronica and less like the asshat he's been since Lilly's death. Did that make any sense? I couldn't figure out why I loved flashback!Logan so much, but I think it's that. That and the polo shirts ;) Maybe that's a way that they could play more with those characters in the future.
I'm not going to be able to handle it if they break up right away. If they're broken up by the end of this season I am going to feel very toyed with. You know what I would like? I'd like a great scene with Veronica, Duncan and Logan after all the truth is out. That would be how I'd like the season to go out. With the three friends together again after facing the truth. /cheese
The whole thing about fixating on the delivery of lines? That's what happens when you watch the episode 20 times. I'm having that too :p I really like how Lilly says spy pen. I deleted the episode off my hard drive (though I have it on disk) and it makes me feel twitchy :p
I'm still not liking Allyson yet either. I'm just not liking the way she talks.
Word to the Wallace.
I hope things go well with school! I don't know how you can manage this time of your life when television is so addictive. And yes, eat some food! Grapes are not filling! I woke up today and didn't eat until 4pm. I was starving, but I just couldn't be botherd. Eating is annoying. Why isn't food available in pill form yet???

Yes, totally! In the flashbacks, he's still snarky and all that, but he's much softer. I was watching the first V/L scene in 1x19, and even though it's all post-kiss awkward, there's still a certain ease with which the two of them are walking together. I would love to see some scenes where we see that they did used to be friends (a long time ago--I really can't help doing that), and it wasn't just a friend-of-significant-other kind of thing.
I'm not going to be able to handle it if they break up right away. If they're broken up by the end of this season I am going to feel very toyed with.
I get that feeling, too. After WoCD, I thought we were going to get a few episodes of awkwardness, and they wouldn't pick up with any sort of relationship thing until later. Maybe the writers thought they would go for broke before they knew whether the show would return, or maybe it will feel like a plot device by the end of the season. I'm not sure, but I think I won't like it if they only got together to make the pain of some big reveal that much worse. I don't think they necessarily needed the two of them to start dating for us to understand the impact of Logan being behind whatever it is he might be behind. I think the two of them slowly mending their broken friendship would have been enough, but for now I have enough faith in the writers that it will work out. (Plus, you know, we got the hot kissing.)
And hee. I didn't even realize I was fixating on the delivery of lines until I reread that. It's totally become less about how good the lines are and all about the actors themselves. Probably doesn't help that the show's been playing the background of everything I've done today, so I've mostly only heard it a gazillion times, rather than watched it. :P
Why isn't food available in pill form yet???
Dude, that would make everything so much easier. There just isn't enough time to eat sometimes. :P

Date: 2005-04-24 09:40 pm (UTC)Aaaand then you saying that makes me squee a lot!
OMG, I do the thing with the song all the time now. I was just listening to it, actually. I love that one of my favourite bands is now forever associated with one of my favourite shows.
I'm so jealous of everyone re-watching the earlier shows. I only have a few on disk. Actually, someone sent me 1 to 12, but it's a DVD disk that won't play in anything I have :)
The thing about LoVe getting together, is that it wasn't even necessary at this point. That's why I was so beyond surprised that it happened. The writers could have given us some great moments with Veronica andLogan becoming close without having them actually get together. For that reason, I'm hoping it's not just a short term plot device. Also, they just seem to make each other *so* happy and to have such a strong connection. I have trouble believing either of them would easily let that go. Althought they are both good at holding a grudge.
I'm still *really* fixating on the way Logan says poptart. It's just not the way you expect it to sound. SOOOO CUTE.
If I could erase all the days of the week between Wednesdays to see all the episodes one after another I would. Without a second thought!
That is *so* it. If I ever skip a meal it's because I don't feel I have enough time. Showering is a waste of time too. Don't get me wrong, I *love* to feel clean and I showers multiple times a day in the summer, but I wish I could just skip it sometimes.
