So, this weekend was kind of busy, but it did allow me to sit back and count inventory on my entertainment. Guys, I'm currently following 10 American television series. Like, guys, fudge on a crapstick, 10 TV SERIES! That's like 7 hours of TV right there that I need to catch up on EVERY WEEKEND. I mean, 7 hours that I could be doing something constructive, not that I would but that's not the point.

• FlashForward - Oh, gods, this is the show that I wait for with baited breath EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK. I just want to know what happens next! NOW!


• Supernatural - Oh, show. It is still the Epic Romance of Sam and Dean despite the Apocalypse.


• Criminal Minds - I watch this show for Hotch, and Hotch only. I mean sure some of the other characters are cool, but MOM is EVERYTHING!


• NCIS - This show is my happy place. Like the term 'Functual mute,' will forever crack me up. The sheer amount of TEAM LOVE I feel for these guys is just stupid.


• NCIS LA - AHAHAHAHAHA! This is just fluff; also, I want to see how slashy they can get before they have them kiss on screen. It is all sort of ridiculous.


• Glee - EEE! MUSICAL NUMBERS! ME LOVES! Jane Lynch is God.


• Dexter - Yeah. I have got nothing. I usually don't have anythign to say about Dexter till the season is complete.


• Merlin - I was going to give up on this series, honest. But then I watched the second episode and it was just all downhill from there on.


• The Vampire Diaries - You can laugh at me all you want. BUT OMFG! DAMON is so VERY AWESOME! Also, episode 4 & 5 really screwed with my head, like Stefan just became very interesting, Damon is truly that ruthless, and Elena, well, Elena has a brain.


• Psych – EEEEEEE! SHAWN and GUS!

Oh, and there is Castle and few other shows that while I’m not watching I’m keeping an eye on just in case. (Gossip Girl - No, I don't want to talk about the whys. I blame this wholly on the Blair and Chuck show.)

There is nothing as awesome as re-watching American Idol season 8, and watching Adam Lambert strut down those red stairs in that white suit of his, and just completely melting my brain singing Feeling Good. OMFG! He is just so amazing. I WANT HIS NEW ALBUM NOW!

*Rushes back to watching more American Idol*

OMFG! This show. OMFG! This show breaks me so very much. Like I love every single one of these characters so very much, and it is the only second episode. I'm absolutely terrified of what will happen to these characters. I DON'T even know why I care about them so very much. But OMFG! PLEASE DON'T BREAK ME, SHOW. PLEASE DON'T!

Also, where are fans for this show? I mean, the ratings are pretty huge, so where is the love, fandom? Somebody, PLEASE speak to me about this show!!!

Pretty cool episode. The first 15 to 20 minutes of it was pure AWESOME!CAKES!

I liked every second of Dean and Castiel this week, every second.

( Awesome ep! )

In short, I really enjoyed this episode.

Roman Polanski raped a child. Please get it right.

The man admitted to raping a 13-yr-old girl whom said no repeatedly, he humiliated, drugged and then raped her. So, fuck all the Hollywood celebrities who think we should save the dick. Go fuck yourselves.

I LOVES! I can see why people keep on saying how it is similar to Heroes, (I can’t speak about the similarities to Lost as I couldn’t even sit through 5 mins of that show) but you know what? FlashForward seems, to me, to be the far superior series. Like I got stupidly involved with the plot, the characters, and Olivia’s vision of her future hit me pretty strongly. Just yeah, awesome series premiere and the last minute or 2 was suitable creepy and acted as an awesome hook for audience.

So, yeah, LOVES!

In an attempt to get in touch with my inner-tween I have been watching a run of vampire-related tv.

• I downloaded 2 seasons worth of The Lair. It is a gay-themed series about, well, about a bunch of gay vampires running a gay-club. No, I’m not kidding. The basic premise is the head vampire thinks a male journalist is the reincarnation of his dead vampire lover. No, I’m not making this shit up. The second season also introduces werewolves and killer plants, no I don’t know why either. It is like a cross between the Bold and the Beautiful (the series is half an hour long and filmed like a cheaper version of the soap) and Kamen Rider. Seriously, KILLER PLANTS, and werewolves that looks like an extra from the series. I survived watching the series by the joy of the fast forward button. The series is badly acted, horribly written and serves as soft gay porn. However, still more interesting than Twilight the movie.



• I downloaded the first 3 eps of The Vampire Diaries… um, I really like Damon, but I have come to the realization that plotlines focusing on teenagers without the aid giant robots or something truly awesome bore me to tears. I get all excited when it is Damon interacting with people, but gets horribly disappointed when I realize he is pretty much talking to adolescents with the brain size of a pea. In short I’m giving up on the series… I’m just going to youtube the Damon clips.

In conclusion, I miss the hey days of Anne Rice, which is something I never thought I would say. No more vampires for me. Unless it is about Damon and his sex adventures with either gender. At least I know what I like.

ETA: Oh, yeah, and my foray into True Blood, um, yeah, the less said the better. I think I actually like The Lair better. At least the latter is meant to be stupid, while TB tries to tell me that its characters are smart when they are DUMB as door nails, and it is just retarded that supposedly intelligent people does stupid things every episode. I hate the show with a passion, and wish all the characters would die, EXCEPT for Eric, because Eric is awesome.

NCIS LA - O.M.F.G. It is so ghei. I like the fact the series isn't like NCIS.

NCIS - 701. OMFG! TONY! ( EEEE! )

Um, yes, I do watch NCIS. Not religiously, but by the gods the series is fun.

ETA: Criminal Minds in about 20 mins. EEEE! This is awesome!

NEXT WEEK NOW?! NOW?! NOW?!

OMFG! OMFG! OMFG! OMFG! OMFG!

( This is so very awesome! )

This was such a well written episode. I CANNOT believe Sera Gamble wrote it. Like really, really, really good. Also, Jared is so very awesome in this, like OMFG! I LOVES JARED PADALECKI! LOVES! The boy looks amazing, and I am forever amazed just how far Jared has become as this amazing actor.

Also – Oh, Sam.

Also, if you are a Sam-hater you can go and rot for all I care. My love for Sam is EPIC! Hell, my love for the Winchesters is unmeasurable.

ETA: ( On second thoughts )

Also, I'm still so over the moon at how good this episode actually is. Lot of the time I have to talk myself into excitment about this show, but man, this was such a solid and awesome episode.

So, apparently I LOVE cooking. Yeah I know, I’m really surprised too. Except I bet most of you didn’t realise how I’m completely infatuated with bento boxes of late. I have just spent over a hundred dollars on bento boxes and it is all sort of awesome, however, I have realised something awful. I don’t have any onigiri-molds, vegetable cutters, or any of the other awesome bento necessities. Therefore, to all my RL friends (or anyone else who wants to feed my obsession), below is a list of items I would love getting for my birthday/Christmas/Chinese New Year. Take note!

Dudes. I mean dudes. The US Open hasn’t been this awesome in a very long time.

Hello Roger! I won't say it is a pleasure to see you lose your temper like that, but wow it has been a very long time. I suppose this does make you more human. Also, del Potro was pretty damn amazing there, just wow. You know del Potro just exemplified why I love tennis.

Also, Patrick Swayze dead at 57. Gods, I still remember seeing him for the first time in North and South. Farewell, and thank you for all the memories.

Super Junior-M's new single Super Girl is out.

Siwon's Mandarin pronunciation makes me wince. Donghae sounds like a native, Ryeowook and Kyuhyun pretty much nails it, and Henry didn't sing enough for me to make a call. There's really no point commenting on Han Geng and Zhou Mi's pronunciation.



Gods, they look good, and the song is catchy enough that it will definitely send them into the top of the charts.

OK, so, before the first episode of season 5 I was feeling kind of meh over Supernatural. I couldn't help it; it was like all my love for the show had evaporated during the last 7 episodes or so of season 4. It kind of sucked to see Sam and Dean been broken brick by brick. So, not so much squee or love for season 5 until about 2 weeks ago when I accidentally spoiled myself. However, I was still slightly reticent about the new series.

Well, I have seen episode 1 of season 5, and OK, my love for this show is still alive and kicking. Oh, boys. How I have missed you.

( Spoilers – Episode dot points! )

( deeper thoughts, kind of )

One thing though; I miss Kim Manners, he brought so much to the show. While I was never the biggest fan of his when it came to plot, Manners did amazing things with the way he blocked scenes, and bringing an emotional depth that made me fall for Supernatural. So, Kim Manners, I miss you.

Looking forward to next week.

Once again I am reminded that the Korean fans are insane. Jaebeom, leader of a 7-member boy group 2PM quits the band due to pressure from anti-fans and threats of suicide packs.

I do not make this shit up.

Basically back in 2005 Jaebeom wrote some stuff about his dislike of Korea and Koreans on his Myspace site (the boy was 17 for crying out loud). Considering how much he was being criticized at the time for not being able to speak Korean well (born and grew up in the US), some really shitty expression of racism, it is kind of understandable why he needed to vent. Anyways, the post was discovered by some netizens a few days ago, the shit hit the fan, uprising of anti-fan movement; threats, suicide packs and basically some really shitty behavior. In conclusion we have Jaebeom quitting the band and returning to America.

Dudes, seriously, this is why people can’t have good things. And this is why many Korean fans (or more like anti-fans) are bat-shit insane.

I have been meaning to post about this but didn't want to do anything until I have read up on the whole deal. So, Disney bought Marvel.

Um, yeah. Not sure what to think about this. Mostly I just want to sit back and watch the fireworks from afar. There is no reason to judge until there are some major changes in the way Marvel goes about business.

The Men Who Stare At Goats!!! OMFG! OMFG! OMFG! George Clooney and Ewan McGregor! A JEDI WARRIOR! AHAHAHAHA!

Also, movies that I really want to watch - The Boys Are Back and Where the Wild Things Are. Funnily enough I put both films in the 'Make Me Cry Buckets' folder. This cannot end well I tell you.

Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea - sweet, imaginative, and extremely trippy. Enjoyed it immensely, and is one of those films that is just enjoyable and, well, nice. I like nice, it is so rare these days. The animation in this is pitch-perfect.

Thumbs up.

OMFG! OMFG! I LOVE THIS SHOW TO TINY BITS!

I haven’t enjoyed the show this much in a very long time.

Recently I have discovered my love of cooking; I make a mean potato bake, my banana muffins are to die for (just did a batch this morning), and I LOVE the smell of a well cooked enchiladas. Mmmm.
