OMG, how?
Disturbing. I think Sienna Miller just kind of made me not hate her. I actually laughed out loud at this quote.
On the Pittsburgh/Sh**sburgh debacle: I had to meet the mayor live on TV and apologise. It was huge! People are dying in Iraq and where is our focus, d'you know what I mean? Having met me, you'll realise these things just come out. I think it might be mild Tourette's, not to insult people who have proper Tourette's, but I will say the most inappropriate things at the most inappropriate time to the most inappropriate person. Always. Guaranteed....She tells me how she and her friends then spent ages renaming other American places. "Massivetwosh**s is Massachusetts. Connectic*nt, or Connectibutt. We came up with loads." She stops herself. "But I don't deliberately hurt anybody. And, actually, I like Pittsburgh, I do."
Ha! On Sienna, I'm still gonna mock you endlessly with Greg, but there will be some part of my frosty heart that knows you can be entertaining, even if it is unintentional and not on screen.
Sarah Connor Chronicles
Love Lena Headey, love her.
"We were in Albuquerque [N.M.] for a month. And it was very intense, because TV is crazy. I mean, it's long days. It's like boom, boom, boom. You don't get any respite. But ... I think it's going to be great. I don't know if its going to be picked up, because it's only in pilot stage right now. But I learned to shoot many weapons and how to recognize a Terminator. So it was a good experience."
Ha! Only Lena, you make me laugh with you, and then sigh dreamily at your insane awesomeness.
But besides Lena being funny, the article also confirmed that Summer Glau is indeed playing a female Terminator, which is the wicked cool! "...and two new Terminators: a female model, played by Serenity's Summer Glau, and a male one, which she called Cromartie...
Sweet!
Heroes 1x18 - WARNING: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS
[peter griffin]Freakin' Sweet![/pg]
This show just gets better and better. I really enjoyed this episode (and the fact that so much of the cast was in it).
Claire continues to be totally great and look fabulous while doing it. She also continues to use her brain, which is nice to see. Yeah, she showed her 16 year old girl this episode, but she later proved to be a pretty clever and resourceful one which makes up for any momentary display of teenage emo-ness.
JESSICA! My love, finally you returned! Ali Larter playing video games and bragging about how good she is is hot. Honestly, I love Jessica and Micah together. I also love seeing Jessica wiggle her fingers and make D.L dance like a puppetboy ... but I think he's finally on to her after Niki left him that little clue. Oh well, D.L. and Jessica fighting is hot ... and by "D.L. and Jessica fighting" I mean "Jessica on screen doing anything".
Jessica Sanders swoon worthy line of the night. "Never carry out surveillance on someone in their own hotel. It's tacky." Perfect delivery, and hair made of awesome.
Candace (a.k.a. Missy Peregrym) is going to be tons of fun. This chick totally enjoys her work. She's deliciously nasty and smirky. I so hope that Candace meets up with Jessica. The two of them could take over the world with their insane hotness and snark. Not to mention that with Candace's shape-shifting ability we could finally see some Niki/Jessica fantasy realized.
Also, Candace will check out every. Candace looking Mrs. Bennett up and down slowly before smirking and saying, "I love your hair" was tres hot.
Mohinder. [Better Porter]Jesus![/BP] Finally he does something semi-intelligent, and then like two scenes later he's back to being a completely incompetant dumbass. Whatever, Mohinder, what ever.
Momma!Petrelli gets better each and every appearance. In the pilot she was all mopey and boring, but she's displaying some real Irina Derevko sass here. Okay, no one could be as bad, yet sexy a parent as Irina Derevko, but Momma!Petrelli is definately brining some awesome and maternal deviousness back which I enjoy. Also, Momma!Petrelli and the Haitian speaking french together [sing song]sexxxy[/ss]. The Haitian makes me want to speak French even more now.
Nathan was looking fine as hell tonight. Seriously, Adrain Pasdar was just looking really good. I kept thinking that while watching the show. And then I thought about how he probably would have made a good Batman a couple years back. And then Linderman showed up on screen and I couldn't think anymore because of the awesome. Nathan was displaying some Mohinder like intelligence at the beginning of the episode by agreeing to wear that wire (which I'm sure was only in the script so that we could see Niki being a hero contrasting Jessica's sexy evil a scene before, but still), but his confrontation with Linderman was awesome. Seriously, ya'll Malcolm MacDowell is love.
I really enjoyed Hiro tonight as well. Masi got a chance to show more than one emotion which was nice. Hiro's interaction was Nathan was great (these two characters are tons of fun together), and his reunion wiht Ando actually got to me right here *points to heart*. Plus, the return of the teleporting! Awseome.
Also some stuff happened with Mystery Socks ... um, I mean Mr. Isaac.
And now I must be getting to work!

Date: 2007-03-05 11:24 pm (UTC)Speaking of homework, would you be willing to participate in a survey for my sociology class? It's only like 6 questions, and it's totally anonymous. It's not supposed to be people we know and technically we're supposed to meet them, but I really don't care. Please? Pretty please? *big, watery puppy eyes*

Date: 2007-03-07 08:26 pm (UTC)Our college doesn't even have dorms. At least not yet. The only 'channel' we get is the one that shows school anouncements.
Oh, so many suggestive, snarky, sarcastic answers spring to mind. But I'm going to refrain myself and act professional for a change. Just rememebr, I didn't write this. I copied it pretty much word for word from my criteria sheet. It doesn't really matter to me if you have a pet or not. If you don't just use like a childhood pet or something...make it up even. My professor will never know, lol. Here it goes:
Good day, my name is Kristian. Would you be willing to take part in a survey? You would? Excellent! Our study group in Sociology is trying to develop a general sense of Canadian opinion about people and their pets. Do you have a pet in your household? I wonder if you would share your thoughts with me. I have a total of six (6) short questions; there are no right or wrong answers, only your own opinion. All of your answers will be anonymous and only used to help my study group develop some general observations about people, pets and Canadian society.
1. Thinking about the pet in your household. (if multiple pets select one to focus on for this interview.)
Which of the following best describes your relationship with that pet?
a) indifferent
b) distant/cool
c) tolerant
d) warm
e) close
f) intensely attached
2. If the pet in your household developed a serious life threatening illness that could be corrected through expensive medical treatment, which of the following best describes whether you would pay whatever amount it takes to save their life:
a) completely unlikely
b) somewhat unlikely
c) probably
d) absolutely without hesitation
3. Some people think that pets should be entitled to a number of rights and benefits enjoyed by humans. Do you agree (A) or disagree (DA) with the following:
A DA Pets should have official civic status and recognition (eg community citizenship)
A DA Pets should be eligible for social benefits programs such as health care, day care, education and emergency shelter
A DA Pets should be eligible for family inheritance
A DA Pets should have a special charter of rights (similar to the one for humans)
A DA Pets should have official voice (ie political representation) in human governments
A DA Pets should be able to accompany their humans to all public facilities (hotels, transit, banks, restaurants etc)
4. A famous human by the name of Mahtma Gandhi once said “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated”. Which of the following best reflects your feeling on this statement?
Strongly agree Agree Disagree Strongly disagree
5. Canadian laws provide pets with a certain level of protection and security of well-being; in you opinion is that level…
a) grossly inadequate/requires urgent attention
b) a but substandard/needs improvement
c) fairly good/adequate for now
d) excessive/already more than adequate
6. One last questions: a great deal of debate surrounds the issue of whether animals have many of the traits assumed in humans. Do you agree (A) or disagree (DA) with the following:
A DA Animals have a soul
A DA Animals have a personal identity apart from the ones human might assign them
A DA Animals have a moral purpose and destiny of their own
A DA Animals have an equal right to quality of life and well-being like humans
Thank you very much for all your time and thoughts. You have helped my study group a great deal.

Date: 2007-03-12 01:55 am (UTC)To be honest, what exactly is this new series about? When does it take place? How many Terminators are there??
I saw you wrote another 'Blade' fic as well. Will definitely check it out and review.
Frak...you know, I really miss that show now? Those jackasses at Spike...a spike through the heart would be better.

Re: heroes=lost first season...
Date: 2007-03-07 06:33 pm (UTC)So true. This week I thought he might finally live up to his PHd and not be a complete dumbass, but he had to go and be an utter moron again. I mean, I know you wanted to mock him, but I'm sorry you know how badass Sylar is, you saw his work a few days before. You keep that motherfrakker comatose, not on a freakin' IV drip that will make him feel a little wacky. Idiot!
and mama petrelli, thou art awesome...lady freakin' mastermind...first you stuck it us and now you're stickin' it to steven carrington...i'm lovin' it, every freakin' minute of it...
Hee. I'm lovin' mama petrelli's newly revealed badassery. There's something about icy matriarch's that I heart. Plus, I love that sweet Claire finally knows who her bio father is, and that we might see some more Petrelli dynamics. Seriously, if His Emoness Peter wasn't around the Petrelli's would be like the best family ever.
