Twilight
I admit it. After being commanded repeatedly to read Twilight, I’m finally doing so. I want to hate this book. In many ways, I do hate this book. It’s written in first person. I hate first person. I’d rather listen to Suede prattle on in third person for days than read a book in first person. Secondly, I recognize the writing style; it’s the same one I used in seventh grade. Thirdly, there are errors aplenty. I don’t think Ms. Meyer has a firm grasp of the English language.

All said, why am I so into this book? Why do I want Edward to just let go and get dirty? Why am I going to read non-stop until I finish Book 4? WHY?

Fandom

More, please!

Last night’s episode of SGA was awesome. I’ve been waiting for a good ep for about two years now, and this was it. This was nearly like a Season 1 episode, in that the team was featured rather than the blossoming romances of Keller (none of which work, btw). The only thing this episode (or any of them, for that matter) was missing was Dr. Weir and maybe a little Woolsey. It even had Lorne looking right at home in a command capacity.

The villains were the first exciting badguys in a long time, and I certainly hope we see a LOT more of them. They’re like WraithBorg or something, and they.are.cool. I hope the writers return to this story and let the whole Michael story go. I like Connor Trinneer well enough, but that story is as boring as, well, Keller.

In other news, my server keeps blinking, so if you’ve had problems loading the site–sorry!

Haircut 100

Double cookies to anyone who gets the title of this post. :clown: Anyway, I got a haircut today. Actually, I’ve cut my own hair every day for about a month now, so I was in desperate need of professional help (yes, in more ways than one). I tried to do the dorktastic “take a picture of myself” thing, but it didn’t turn out well, so just picture Carter, Season 8; more “Threads” than “It’s Good To Be King”, but I’m pleased.

I’m seriously jonesing for more Fringe. Tuesdays (Eureka) can’t come soon enough, and I’ve already ‘thonned Heroes, Pushing Daisies, Spaced, and Doctor Who (including Christmas specials). If the trade-off for going back to work means Fall TV Schedules, I’m ready. Project Runway and Shear Genius each proved that there’s no logic in the judges’ thought, so while I will watch them more as “shows” than “competitions”.

At one time, I would have died for Joss Whedon. Now? Not so much. Rabid fans turned me off before Firefly even premiered and now I think I may be prejudiced against Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog to the point that I can’t enjoy it. The actors are good enough, but the songs are just bad. It’s like Willow and Tara’s song over and over again. And over some more. I can’t believe how many people are clamoring to get this on DVD. Weird, yet oddly refreshing to see than fandom love lives on in the hearts of the devoted.
