1. Happy birthday to my fabulous roomie,
_freyja_. Sorry Wednesdays suck for you, Laura, but spring break is soon!
2. While I'm at the GBP-ing, happy birthday to
puppetoflove as well. Hope you had a great day!
3. I just watched the first two episodes of Sports Night.
Okay, so the pilot didn't really impress me at all. The laugh track threw me off (that goes away, right?) and the characterizations seemed much too cartoony to me. Also, as soon as Joshua Malina showed up, all I could think was "HiWillIhateyoupleasedienowkthxbi." (Keep in mind, I haven't seen much of S4 WW, so all I know of Will's character is S6 crappiness, hence the Will-hate.) So I can't get into his character at all, so he will always just be Will to me.
But it got a whole lot better in episode two. Soooo much love for Dan. That thing at the end of the second episode with the apology to his dead little brother? I totally didn't see it coming and it totally didn't make me cry or anything. Nope. I'm also a fan of the boss, Issac? The spunky assistant is kind of annoying, and I'm hoping the producer who's name I forget get's cooler, cause I feel like she could go either way. I liked her interaction with Casey about the forks and whisks. That was cute and fun.
So yay. More Sports Night for me. After tonight's West Wing that is. Oh, and also? Does Aaron Sorkin really think he can "raise the level of public debate" through television shows? :P
4. Also, I have watched through Business Unfinished of S1 Dead Like Me.
--Rube is absolutely as awesome as I remember him being. He has yet to disappoint me, and I loved his foray into short order cookery. My favorite thing about him is that he calls George Peanut. Cause that pretty much sums him up, I think. (Also, there was that whole joke about indigestion as a metaphor for how he constantly feels when dealing with George. That's a good sumation of Rube, too, I think.)
--Mason. Mason Mason Mason. Ohhhh Mason. I love you.
--Daisy annoys the crap out of me, but I guess she's supposed to and I'm guessing she'll get cooler. The only time I like her is when she interacts with Mason, because she's deliciously brutal and it's never unfunny.
--Is it wrong that I miss Betty? Cause I do. Cause she was cool. I remember watching that one when it aired and not believing that they'd just "kill" Rebecca Gayheart off like that. Grrr. Although, it may have been worth it just for the post-it Rube left.
--Roxy is also one of my favorite characters. The thing she did with the soul removal on the jackass guy was so utterly fabulous that I'm still not over it. Also, how hilariously sad is it that she was strangled by a sock over a patent for legwarmers? Has anyone looked up who actually came up with those legwarmers? Cause they should.
--I'm not a fan of the continuing George's-family-is-a-mess storyline. I hate her mother and the only person in her family even remotely interesting is Reggie. I'm hoping they stop checking in on them so much soon. It's always jarring to the overall story of the episode to flip back and forth.
--Will someone please spoil me and tell me whether George and Mason start making out soon? Cause I need it so much and I will be highly disappointed if it doesn't happen.
5. Finished my Latin America Midterm of Dooooom today. I think I may have actually done well on it, so yay.
6. And hey, Ashley. I really like this Sigur Ros album. I should have it back to you tonight. What's the name of it again?
