Trying to Get Into My Good Graces?...Hmm

Okay, this is the last time I'm going to comment on my tiff with Jason Dohring. Sometimes, I think that he maybe takes my love for him (and by him, I mean Logan Echolls) for granted. It's as if we've gone through this four-year relationship and though he says he cares, and he does many things that bring joy to my life, he sometimes forgets all of the things I do for him. The time and the commitment it takes to have a steady TV boyfriend.

I watched the dreaded "Veronica is dead to me" video on a Thursday, and what should appear on Friday (which I have only now read, today)? But this article from Entertainment Weekly. It was like he knew he was in the doghouse, and had to somehow make it up to me.

So, yes, Jason, I will get back together with you. And yes, I will follow you to Moonlight, even though Friday's Doctor Who/BSG night. These are just some of the things I do for you. Some of the things I do to make our relationship work. 'Cause even though sometimes it's hard, ultimately it's worth it. You're worth it.

HoYay!

Ten Reasons Why You Should Walk Away From Your Computer and Just Read a Book





10. Trying to win an argument by saying, "everyone says so". Identity of everyone: the four music, two TV and three popculture blogs, you read on a daily basis.

9. Contemplate signing up for Twitter, even though you're pretty sure all you'd ever post was different variations of "typing on my computer" just to be a smartass.

8. Change your MySpace layout more than three times a week.

7. Have multiple conversations explaining the terms "snark" and "YMMV"

6. Argue comment with a perfect stranger on a blog/message board.

5. Spend four hours or more drawing graffitti on someone's Facebook wall.

4. Make Television Without Pity your homepage.

3. Watch episodes online even though you have a fully functioning TiVo/DVR already on it.

2. Look up a specific subject on YouTube (be it musician/actor/whatever) and find that if you sort by any of the provided criteria you'll have already watched videos from at least the first three pages.

1. Realize that you let an LJ/Photobucket video of Jason Dohring saying "Veronica is dead to me" ruin your entire weekend. So much so that you were ready to devote an entire blog post reaming this ACTOR and REAL LIFE PERSON for saying such a thing (even if he added a half-assed 'Just Kidding' at the end) along the lines of "she might be a television character but she's still alive and well in my heart" instead of a #1 spot on a Letterman-esque Top Ten.

So, see? Who needs books, right?

No, it isn't flying



When the series Heroes came out it seemed like everyone was asking that aged-old question, "If you had a superpower, what would it be?". Besides the power to possess other powers, which is a total cop-out power, Milo Ventimiglia, I would have to say it would be the short-lived Charlie's powers, who could understand information incredibly quickly. She reads something and it just gets stuck in her head forever. Learning Japanese in an afternoon? Easy. Making sure villanious brain-openers aren't behind you when you're opening that can of Heinz tomato paste? Not so much.

Thanks to the friendship of a certain comic book nerd, I took on the superhero name, Cypher.

This weekend I watched The Forbidden Kingdom, and I gotta say. If I hadn't already decided, I might've had to change it to include the power to asphyxiate a foe with the strength of my hair. And looking kick-ass while doing it. Maybe that should be my power.

C'mon, it's for the children

I love La Bell. It's not a secret. I frequently mention her name and her major hap's in different octaves of squee. Will I be seeing her new movie, Forgetting Sarah Marshall this Friday? Yup. Did I find the previews and sneak peeks hilarious and worth the cost of admission? Um...well. I watched Fifty Pills for Ms. Bell, so I think I can handle it if Marshall isn't...well, I reserve all judgements/critiques until actual viewing.

If anything, I'm a giver.
