Everything You Know

23 Comments

As a child, an animated version of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe scarred me horribly. I was devastated beyond belief, so much so, that I blocked it from my mind and remembered nothing except a good lion was shaved and killed in a most degrading and horrific manner.

Because of the trauma, I suppose, I never knew anything about Prince Caspian. The trailer for the movie is out and I have to admit that I am excited about it. It looks like something I may just love. However, if anyone is familiar with the story and knows of any more lion death, please let me know so I won’t watch or read. I can’t take that kind of trauma again. Thanks.

Extremely brief wrap-up.

LOST– Eh, I didn’t turn it off, that’s an improvement. Still not feeling it.

Torchwood– S2E2 and S2E3- Not as good as S1E1.  Not giving up.

SGA– Last week was painful to watch.  That little girl is NOT a good actress.  Don’t go there again.  This week? Filler.   Next week?  Dr. Keller again.  Ugh.  Visceral hatred for an hour.

Make Me A Supermodel– Yeah, I voted (repeatedly) for Holly to stay, what of it?  There was no chance she was leaving, but I really thought it would be Jay.  No need to vote this week, don’t care about any of them.

As usual, the one show I can count on to entertain me (possibly due to my low expectations) is The Gauntlet III.

You know what I’ve found? When I have vid recs in the queue for Fanvid-Recs, I feel too guilty to post here. I just added six recs and now I feel free.

I’m watching S2E2 of Torchwood and if it’s as good as S2E1, I’m going to be very glad. Others have said plenty about James Marsters’ trip to Cardiff, and I don’t have much to add, but I’ll agree with the fact that there seems to be an abundance of Jack kissing this series, and, well, YAY! I wasn’t the biggest fan of Series 1, but so far, so good.

I’m in a bit of a conundrum with regards to my television viewing schedule for tonight; new Project Runway/premiere of RW/RR Challenge: The Gauntlet III . I can’t stay up until midnight to watch both, but I can’t pick which one to watch tonight. It really is like Sophie’s Choice. Really.

Oh, one more thing.  PRODUCT WARNING:  Do NOT buy Pillsbury Reduced Fat Cinnamon Rolls.  It’s like someone took some plain canned biscuits to a class of kindergarteners and let them shove little chunks of cinnamon into them with their paws.  Blech.  The name alone-Cinnamon ROLLS- suggests, I dunno, ROLLS of some kind.  I don’t get it.

Personal, Work

Prepare for battle!

Monster.com’s latest television ad is genius. As a whole town mobilizes for war in the dark, complete with dramatic music and promise of epic battle, we see that it is MONDAY they are fighting. Heh. Good, no, GREAT stuff. I love that one.

What a week we had last week! Monday was pretty ordinary; benchmark testing at school. Tuesday was great, as I spent nearly all of the day with my seniors. Wednesday I got to spend a small sliver of time with Ben and Jonas before a great class at MU. I feared that class, but I now think it’s going to be fine. *whew* Thursday was a snowday. Whoo! Friday was a counselor collaboration meeting, and though only two schools could make it in, we covered a huge amount of ground and I feel great about it.

I have a salon appointment today and I’m thinking of cutting my hair short again. I’m tired of the pseudo-Carter cut and now that Amanda Tapping has grown her hair out, I know I definitely don’t want to follow suit. I think I’ll try to go Yoanna style, Cycle 2 of ANTM. (Stop rolling your eyes, Ben!)

My cousin Ashley and her husband Caleb are due here any minute to learn all about the fascinating world of web design and I’ve made graphs, visual aids, and step-by-step instructions. We’ll see how good they are when Ashley either A) makes her own site or B) goes bald from pulling out her hair.
