My GOD I love the Vampire Diaries. It continues to get better every week, to tease and delight me on multiple levels. It manages to juggle large cast and move both plot and character forward each week. So 10 or possibly more reasons to love this weeks episode of VPD:

1) We're a TEAM, we could try out for the Amazing Race. Damon/Stefan = White hot incestuous vampire hoyay. I mean they do the whole "we" thing before Tyler elucidates how "we" means your a couple. I find it so damn amusing that IS has chemistry with almost everyone EXCEPT ND, and even then he does it's just not as intense. Which I don't mind because...
2)I love Stefan/Elena They are adorable, and hot, and I love love love that she told him he doesn't get to make decisions for her, I love love love that it never occurs to him to confess he's hot for her at least in part because she is Katherine's doppleganger so they're constant getting together/breaking up doesn't bother me the way it otherwise would. It works in a way B/A never ever did.
3)It can redeemed even a fucking useless bastard like Tyler and make me interested in him, and he is OBVS a werewolf. Using Jeremy's mind wipe and their shared talent to break through to him? GENIUS. And Matt/Tyler's bromance was also a great way to add layers to him. Matt's a good guy, and you believe that Matt couldn't be so close to someone who was without a sliver of something GOOD.
4) Matt/ - He's this shows Helo, and nothing could be more awesome.
5) Logan said "Daywalker" it's like Kevin Williamson is my Gay Life partner
6) Stefan wiggin Logan more than Damon, because he is so much more fucked up.
7) Alaric and the fact that we still don't know if he's a vampire or a slayer or a vampire-vampire slayer.
8)Caroline/Damon - I am queen of fucked up because I kind of still ship them. He saved her, taken together with his comments about feeling conflicted about killing...and well, I believe him. It's blessedly NOT guilt, but conflict sure, yes. I don't think he relishes killing, he said he preferred drinking from people and erasing their memories, and most of his kills came only out of necessity, he's not about to give up the *power*, but he has his twinges. Killing draws too much attention. I love that he's Liz's hero. Heh.
9)This show can rock the actual horror/scares - the haunting figure that causes Elena's car accident, the cracking bones, while she screams, in the car verlain-less? Holy shit.
10) Paul Wesley's abs, always and forever!

Rhianna, you are unbelievably brave and courageous, you made me bawl my eyes out tonight and the fact that you called Chris on his shit, the fact that his song means nothing to you, gurl you are a survivor 20 times strong. I have never ever seen any famous person deal so honestly and publicly with their abuse and it was heartbreaking and inspiring all at once. Hopefully you can seize back the spotlight on your talent for infectious pop songs, I want to shake my ass to, and leave that oblivious criminal douchebag in the dust.

How do you know you are hopelessly hormonal?

*You gained weight even though you worked your ASS off in the gym all week.
*Because of this you said fuck it and ate a pumpkin cupcake with cream cheese frosting and candy corns dammit!
* Teared up while reading SPN fanfic. And now I need to rec it to/for anyone who wasn't happy with S3, cause I thought it kind of blew, mostly because I thought things should go like they do in this fic. Well not *exactly* but for the main? Yeah.

take a right at the light, keep goin' straight until night (SPN, adult) Wincest obvs, BUT it's not even that porny.

Fun TV meme I stole from molly_may

New Shows I've Given Up On:

Cougar Town - the show is funny, but it's kind of AWFUL at the same time, I can't get over Courtney's cringe inducing over the top desperation/humiliation. Oy.

Flash Forward - Zzzzzzzzz. The show needs 110% more John Cho.

New Shows I'm Still Watching:

The Vampire Diaries - Ha, yeah, I think I've made my feelings on this one clear. *g*

Melrose Place - The latest episode kind of sucked relatively, and I'm deeply worried that the showrunners who have seemed to GET IT, in fact don't get it and plan to keep Riley on the show, while ( SPOILER ). It's got horrible ratings too, so I'm loving it while it's here and won't sweat it too much if it's gone.

Glee! - I love this show more than I ever thought possible, I think it's actually kind of brilliant, and Rachel and Puck are hot and I'm hopeful that they have a chance in hell of eventually happening, in that I figure every ship you can think of on this show might happen except of course for Kurt and either Puck/Finn even though that would be great. I'm also defensive as hell about the show, and feel like no one really appreciates Ryan Murphy's poisonous view of human kind. This is the man who created Sean and fucking Julia as the moral center of a show, and had them look the other way while a mother fucked her minor son. Yeah.

Modern Family - It's my favorite new sitcom, Manny and Cam are just HIGHlarious. It's like the flip side of the coin to AD's dysfunctional family sitcom. It's comedy is a little more broad, it's earnestness a little more pronounced, but hell if that helps it stick around longer so be it.

Community - I was a little iffy on this one, since I hate the female lead, and think McHale isn't funny enough, or good looking enough to make his asshole character watchable, but goddamn are Abed/Troy funny, and Chevy/Shirley/Annie are fairly amusing as well. I think if they can ditch Britta entirely it would be perfect.

The Good Wife - Kalinda and Alicia are my favorite new pair on television, and the show is smart, has interesting characters, but like the Mentalist it could work on making the "cases of the week" a bit more compelling.


Old Shows I'm Really Far Behind On:

Mad Men - Oh god I haven't watched a single S3 episode. Yeah I need to sit my ass down and marathon it. I'm not sure why I can't get motivated to watch it.


Shows I Continue to Watch:

Gossip Girl
Sons of Anarchy
Supernatural - So far it's not as kick ass as S4, the lack of Sam fucking Ruby because he can't fuck Dean because Dean wants to fuck an Angel was really bringin' it down, but now that the boys are back together, and I mean REALLY back together in the incestuous pornographic way, I'm happy again!
Dollhouse
Ugly Betty
The Mentalist - I like the new opening, but there is not nearly enough Cho for my liking.

Old Show I Picked Up Again

Smallville - and BOY howdy if you wanna feel old check out the comments on ONTD about how the commenters were like aged 2-10 when the show started. DAMN, GINA!

So I'm a muppet (for Halloween), but WHICH muppet am I?

.....to spoiler myself silly for next weeks Glee.

( Major almost total Spoilers Ahoy )

I was Queen of getting Shit done this weekend. I do this once a quarter, it feels good in a weird off-putting way. I filled to languishing prescriptions, picked up some Mederma, went grocery shopping, bought and replaced hallogen light bulbs when all the ones in my bedroom sconces went kerblewie, hit the gym early both Sat/Sun, went shopping on Saturday to get the rugby pea coat I loved at the GAP that just went on sale. I also picked up another buttery rugby layering t, in blue, a nice umbrella, and a pretty scarf. Ooh and on Sunday I found a pair of cute shoes to go with my orange cord skirt.

Of course I also saw a bunch of things I still want like a soft shell trench in black, that is crazy perfect for the excessively cold and WET October we're having. I swear in Michigan you need to own 15 types of jackets/coats to cover every conceivable weather/event situation. Which is fine with me because I LOVE coats! I also want this amazingly chic sweater from Anthropologie, it has such a Mad Men feel to it. But I want someone to buy it for me dammit, because that is a lot of money to invest in one piece of clothing.

The rest was spent, cheering on the Yankees to sweep the Twins, and lo it did happen, now I can take a long hot shower and get back to Yankee hating immediately! I'm hoping for an Angels v. Dodgers Series. Look at that Jeff Dream (sometimes Nightmare) Weaver is right in the thick of the playoffs again. Good for him.

Oh and I may or may not have spent a good chunk of time cataloging my SPN porn links, during which time I remembered that I am one dirty loving girl.

For the love of GOD I need caps of JUSTIN HARTLEY! Why is he not in every episode drinking and fucking cops and pining for Lois? Oh, and Clark/Lois in the rain was a gorgeous shot too.

Oh my lord, the degree to which I adore Vampire Diaries, and adore it in a mostly UNIRONIC way, is embarrassing. Stylistically it's all KW's Dawson's, but I never ever loved Dawson's the way I loved Party of Five, and this this is Party of Five AND Dawson's, and Twilight, I want to bathe in it's cracktastically awesome cheese, but still praise it for being actually GOOD. It's better than Gossip Girl, it's better than the 90210, and it's better even than the new MP, even though I quite enjoy that as well. I LOVE the characters, I LOVE the actors, I love the incesty-hoyay, I love the chemistry between Stefan/Elena, I love the Ex, I love the Brother, I love the trashy slut, I love the heavy handed alt rock cued soundtrack, I the love the fuckin' voice overs. In short I'm this shows bitch and I'm so glad it did what for the CW is monster numbers. Go threesomes yay!

Supernatural OTHO, well it still stars two hot brothers I wanna lick, and who want to fuck each other, so it rocks. Even when it's a hot scattered mess like the premiere.

The world needs to give me one SMALL fucking break, and stopping being encephilectically STUPID.

It also needs to give me SIESTAS. And a Mike V/Jen Carroll hook up. Mike V is such a total hotass, but he works at some candyass spa in Pasa-fuckig-Dena. But Spa + Good Food is a little too Sister/Mother for me. And did I mention it's in Pasadena, the Connecticut of the West Coast?

Speaking of Top Chef Las Vegas, let me just tell you the traumatizing dream I had about being on it: I can't cook without a fuckin' recipe, and it's like Final 4/5 time and I serve up some mess of a dish on a PAPER PLATE. Oh my god, I start to freak out and I run away before Judges Table and Tom yells at me and then Ryan Gosling disses me on the Casino floor. I loved him in Half Nelson, but he needs to back that shit up before I take a dream dressing down from the likes of HIM. Especially cause I think he went utterly method to sell Half Nelson.

Clive is at Tiff mid-week and I have no damn passport. BALLS.

Trying to go free on internet dating sites is like being a professional tease.

Some people I know need to buy tickets to the Supernatural Chicago Con post haste. Did you SEE Jared tonight? Hellooooo, how many wood paneled porn fics do I have to send to make it happen?!

The Tigers are trying to KILL me, dropping three straight to Kansas City, or basically just that Butler dude on the Royals. Why can't it just be easy, WHY?

I love my friends like they came from HEAH!

Hello Fall Season is here. What I'll be trying to watch:

Monday
9 PM Gossip Girl - Blair trying to make it in the Village, with Chuck by her side? Win.
9 PM Trauma - A big hunk of cheese, but who am I kidding I was an intermitten Third Watch viewer, in fact it's what lead me to Mighty Big TV originally. And it has the amazingly adorable, and incredibly talented Derek Luke, it kills me the kid isn't more famous. So it gets the TV mini-camp.
10 PM Castle, yes I'm still watching, mostly in the vain hope they'll fire his costar, and hire Robin Strasser as his new editor who he has a torrid affair with.

Tuesday
9 PM Melrose Place What? It looks appropriately awesome-bad, and it can't really be worse than the 90210 reboot.
10 PM Sons of Anarchy no Drea DeMatteo, boooo, but I'm looking forward to the new season just the same, I want Jax to come into his own, but save his reckoning with Gemma till the end of the series.
10 PM The Good Wife If Margulies and Charles have good chemistry I might stick around for more than three episodes.

Wednesday
9 PM Modern Family It's supposed to be really good and funny.
9 PM Glee - I tried to avoid it, then I tried to hate it, but then a guy in a trucker hat/mullet sang Don't Stop Believin' and I had to admit I liked it.
9 PM The Beautiful Life - I like the big headed bitch, okay! I'll be interested to see whether this or MP redux hits my trashy tv buttons more.

Thursday
After a few years hiatus, once again the death match of all TV watching nights.
8 PM The Vampire Diaries duh.
8 PM Flash Forward
9 PM Supernatural
9 PM 30 Rock/Community Reminding us Chevy Chase can be funny.
10 PM The Mentalist mmmmmmm Simon Baker I loooove you.

Friday
8 PM Smallville Much like SPN last season, after seeing the cast in person I am reminded how hotass they are and wondering why I ever stopped watching at all.
9 PM Ugly Betty I'm giving Horta half a season to have Daniel realize he's in love with Betty and if that doesn't happen I'm pretty much OUT.
9 PM Dollhouse I still haven't seen Epitaph, but I'm super excited about S2, and Tahmoh/Paul's hero going darker than he could imagine. Yay.

Sunday
9 PM Desperate Housewives Yes this is the show I don't give up on. They best give Tuc Watkins more to do this year. More to do, less clothes.

( Top Five Cancelled Too Soon Series )

Poll #1444084 Gin or Witch?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 9

Who was more powerful? Yes I've asked this before, SCIENCE requires trials people!

I mean C'MON she's a fuckin' GENIE, of course she's more powerful, also Tony Nelson > Darin, Roger > Mrs. Kravitz, sex kitten > hausfrau! OH THESIS. I will concede Bewitched theme song is better.

FIRST because no I'm still not quite over this out take gag kiss that manages to 1) make me miss what coulda been so many many times with MSR, but also validates my shiny SHINY tinhat. DUDE, I'm sorry, David had it so BAD for this bitch.

Onward, molly_may asked for my top five MSR moments. HOW DO YOU PIC ONLY FIVE? Sigh, remembering MSR is like creme brulee, and Christmas, and rainbows, and unicorns all rolled into one.

Top Five Mulder/Scully Moments off the top of my head and there are legions more

1. Pilot - Date #1, she gets half naked and they spend the night telling each others life stories and bonding.

2. Squeeze - Mulder plays with her necklace, while explaining why he wants her feels so possessive of her.

3. Paper Hearts - The hug at the end, the comfort offered, the comfort taken, the HOTNESS?!!

4. Pusher - Russian Roulette - an amazing amazing scene I'm not sure he and Gillian were ever more believably in a moment, I think that's all props to the director, since we can literally see Mulder sweat, the tremors in his trigger finger, and that pleading pleading "Scully..." OMG, and then she hits the alarm to break the trance, and he shoots the shit out of Pusher even when he's out of bullets he'd kill him again, OH and the finger clapse? Gah. How do you walk away from an ep like that thinking, yeah JUST PARTNERS, WTFBBQ?


5. Obscure moment tie: Firewalker - One of the classic subtle things we MSR shippers had to live off of but I swear it might be the SEXIEST moment in their early history. Scully wants to look for Trypkos with him and Duchovny as Mulder just gives this negatory head shake and reiterates that he and everyone *needs* her to figure out the spores. What makes this so HOT to me is how she is totally and completely his hero, his salvation, his reason for breathing at all, and he will not risk her life again for any reason. It's this machismo I am your boyfriend-partner fuck no moment rendered utterly feminist, he believes she will always save not only his world, but THE world.

AND

Three - Mulder makes out with Scully's cross after losing this vampire chick the same way he "lost" Scully, she is utterly and completely a Scully stand in. He's WEARING her cross, Mulder who hates God, and religion, is tethered to her damn crucifix! How is this not one of the shippiest eps of ALL time?

Ask me my fannish Top Five [Whatevers]. Any top fives. And I will answer them all in a new post.

*Oh man, for some reason I started singing FYC's Don't Look Back yesterday, and now I'm down the 80's music nostalgia rabbit hole. I mean that was like the fifth single off The Raw and the Cooked, which I played into the ground the summer of '89. I saw them in Tin Men singing "As Hard As It Is", and Roland Gift rocking his special brand of ugly sexy and it was all over. Then they did exactly nothing for the rest of time. Hee. Also I do not remember the video being so trippy-mind fuck like WTH?

*I found a Lolla ticket for less than what they're asking, but still more than I'd like, but still yay, I'm going and will get to hang with anninnocent for a few days of music and most likely sweltering heat. I'll have to give my cousin a call as well and see if she's up for meeting me on Sunday for that days line up, since it has The Glitch Mob, one of the major reasons I wanted to go, they are completely off the fucking hook.

*I had the most vivid schmoopy-sexy dream about me and Bruce Campbell, not even Ash Boom Stick Campbell but, cuddly hilarious Burn Notice Bruce. Le sigh, good dream.

*I'm not sure if it's the recent Writer Con or my penchant for falling in love with off brand ships that may never happen, and worse than that off brand ships in off brand fandoms, but I am about two clicks from writing Mary Shannon/Bobby D porn. The last two episodes have teased and taunted the hell out of me. I'm even considering going to an on-line chat just to ask the showrunner about Bobby D/Mary?

*Mmm there is not much I'm loving on OLTL right now, but the hotness of Kyle/Fish, aka KISH has me all excited. Oh and it gave me an almost Brody/Layla scene, wherein Mark Lawson exhibits more chemistry just THINKING about Layla than in a months of story with Bree Williamson's Jess. His smile lit up and his eyes started twinkling, just mentioning Layla's name, I'm pretty sure ML has a major league crush on Tikka Sumpter, and a part of me hopes they are fucking like weasles in RL. Hee.

So I'm not quite back from WriterswsaSt_SalieriCon (I am stuck in delayed airport hell) and I'm so glad I went as I met several wonderful people and bonded with philips and mere_ubu like lifelong friends who ship vampire lovers.

Thursday - my friends and I ate well we drank well and we talked Spuffy and fic cliche's it was fun.

Friday - Fun day there was a gender panel that interestingly skated the ever debatable who likes to take it like a bottom bottom bitch and WHY question. We went out for yummy tapas and wine, and then there was a cocktail party in which a lot was drank by many of us, followed by heading to the bar for yet more drinking, at some point a video was made, and my fond phrase "If I wanted literature I'd read a fucking book" was immortalized, much like Edward Cullen's sparklies. Oh and Wincest rocking full stop came up as well. Before I passed out cold I giggled my way through this SPN vid which is full of WIN:



Saturday - I got in great two hour work out in at the hotels pretty rockin' gym and caught up on some Burn Notice, awwwww I loves that show. We grabbed a light lunch, the weekend debauchery considered, and then caught the Slash Panel which was my favorite fan discussion and not just because I loves me some slash, but because there was some healthy representation of the queer perspective from y'know ACTUAL queers there, and I was glad to hear a lot of my perspectives on slash echoed in their commentary.

Obvs I realize my *personal* definition (it's complicated and makes sense largely only to me) has no traction in the fan community, but my overall take has always been that the beauty of slash fic is that it is beyond gender and sexuality, it exists in that space where labels no longer control and define who we are, and who we love/fuck, but represents more how and why we wanna love/fuck who we decide to love/fuck. Yes I can make even my porn habit all about the SAP.

Funnily enough we ended up at the bar later on and convinced st_salieri 3 was not the lonliest number when it comes to fruity delicious drinks. I had an awesome Tara bashing discussion with a WNBA fan and did some community outreach in the form of being one of the few con-goers (along with rest of our party) able to look her in the eye. OH and we played Bad Fic Bingo and I now have my favorite euphemism of all time: spasm chasm. I wanted two of them, but my card gave me two moist nether mouths. Salieri than wrote hilarious fic to accommodate the nomenclature.

Sunday - I got up not so early and grabbed an hour in the gym and saw last weeks In Plain Sight* it ruled the school. Oh Bobby D I saw your heart breaking and I didn't need a whole big speech to prove it. We then had a lovely brunch with philips and mere_ubu before taking in our final panel the Evil Isms panel, which managed to go almost the entire hour and half without incident before getting difficult and uncomfortable, but heh I LOVE difficult and uncomfortable, and the panelists handled it VERY well.

*( More digression about IPS )

It was super fun and full of girl talk, drinking, a major bunny, and celebrity sightings!

Things I loved:

Zoe Saldana, stating what it's like in Hollywood when your a girl and how frustrating it can be.

Bruce Campbell, being Bruce and buying off various members of the crowd.

FREE Burn Notice Shirt

Pomegranate Vodka

V and The Vampire Diaries - V manages to milk the camp while simultaneously sneaking in some quality dialogue/snark/commentary, much like the original which I've always felt is a fairly scathing satire of the Reagan Eighties.

Vampire Diaries has two hot vampire brothers fighting over a girl/family blood sucking loyalties. I don't think the girl matters as much as she thinks she does. But she's cute and I could root for them all to have one big sex party, then get growly and bite each other all to the soothing tunes of Counting Crows!!!! This show is cractastically delicious and I love it with every fiber of my being.

Tapas out with the Girls. Lovely meal and awesome company.

Hello, Justin Hartley, you are so so SO beautiful. And also hot.

Sightings: James Purefoy, Zach Quinto/boyfriend, Chi McBride, Jackie Earle Haley, Paul Wesley TWICE, Matthew Morrison, and Gerard Way who was hilarious in his sneaking panicked looks back on the escalator to see if I was following him. First because he thought I WAS, and then he made a sad EMO face when he realized I wasn't. Ha.

Things I loved but was also terrified of:

The Mighty Boosh live and in person.

Things I cared not so much for:

The Farscape Panel, getting groped out of nowhere in the hotel bar on Saturday night, the bunny.

I'm sad Ryan Kwanten wasn't at the True Blood panel, cause LOOK.He is so goddamned hot/cute I can't take it. I want to take him home and do bad things to him just like the theme song says!


Also I love this remake yourself as Mad Men character thing ( Read more... )
