Computers Suck!

I wrote my entire review (and it was really long) and my stupid computer messed up and didn't post it. So I'll post my review of Supernatural "The Usual Suspects" tomorrow, when I'm not as mad at computers.

The Chronicling Of My Obsessions

I had something really deep and interesting to blog about, but I've forgotten it.

I want to put a list of my past and present obsessions on here. They are in order from a long time ago, to now.

Titanic

Smallville

Lord of the Rings

Stargate, Stargate SG-1, and Stargate Atlantis (Mostly SG-1 in the beginning. Mostly Atlantis since Jack/RDA left SG-1.)

Supernatural (NOW)

Dark Angel (NOW)

Firefly/Serenity (NOW)

Titanic was my first obsession. I have a bunch of books about the ship, and the movie, etc. Smallville was next. My best friend and I watched it religiously in the eighth grade (I watch it now bcause it's on before Supernatural, and I watched season 4 because of Jensen). I got into Stargate SG-1 because one of my friends introduced it to me. Then my Girl Scout troop did an event based on the show (we're very talented). I still watch SG-1 and Atlantis when they air on the CW. I don't get to see new episodes on Sci-Fi because we don't have Sci-Fi. Supernatural is my current obsession (obviously). I got into this summer when they were playing repeats on the WB/CW. I was flipping channels and landed on it. Then watched it the next week and the week after. Then I read that the episodes were uploaded on youtube.com, and I caught up on all of them. Now I'm obsessed and I watch every episode when it airs. I read (and sometimes write) fanfics, read (and post to) message boards, etc. I am obsessed. I got into Dark Angel because Jensen is in it (in the second season). I waited patiently as CrystaLuv and EncartaQueen uploaded episodes. My new Firefly/Serenity obsession is my friend Ryan's fault. I let him borrow my Supernatural DVDs, and he let me borrow his Firefly DVDs, and I watched all of Firefly in a weekend. Then he let me borrow the movie Serenity. I've seen it three or four times now. It's a good show (and movie) and I'm really bummed that it's off the air.

What I really obsess over is certain actors, and they change as my obsession changes. With Titanic it was Leonardo DiCaprio. Smallville it was Tom Welling. My Lord of the Rings love intrest was Viggo Mortensen. Stargate SG-1 I liked Richard Dean Anderson. Stargate Atlantis I like Joe Flanigan. For Supernatural and Dark Angel it's Jensen Ackles (Jared Padalecki is good-looking too). And for Firefly and Serenity I like Nathan Fillion.

The point of this whole post is that I have obsession problems. I'm proud to say that I have never stalked anyone though. I will not stoop to that.

I'll be back on here after tonight's episode of Supernatural to give my review.

I Guess Jo's Not Soooo Bad & Firefly/Serenity

I rewatched "No Exit" a few times, and I like it more now. It had a good plot. After watching it more I was able to get past my dislike of Jo a little, but it helps that she probably won't be in many episodes until things settle down between her and Ellen, and Dean and Sam.

I can't wait for tomorrow's episode. I want to know what happens.

I watched Serenity last night. That is a good movie. I really enjoyed it, and the outtakes were pretty funny. A great follow-up to Firefly. I think Mal is my favorite character, then Kaylee (she's so cute), but I like the whole cast of Firefly/Serenity.

Creative Writing Group: The Fruits Of My Labor

Prompt: Combine at least two of the following fairy tales into an at least slightly serious story: Snow white, Sleeping Beauty, Thumbelina, Beauty and the Beast, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Goldilocks, Little Red Riding Hood, Princess and the Pea, Pinocchio, and the Little Mermaid.

"I will have the best story!!"

"But sweetie, it's just--"

"I-Don't-Care!! Mine will be the best!"

This conversation sounded like many her and her daughter had had in the years past. Once a year actually, just weeks before the deadline for Write The Way's annual short story contest.

Since her daughter, Anna, had first heard about the contest 12 years ago she had wanted to win it. So every year Anna wrote out a new story, and every year it was better than she'd ever written before. And every year her story sounded something like "once upon a time there was a girl, who had a dog. They were best friends, and they played in the park and ran around together until the end of time. The end." And for the past 12 years Anna had been getting letters from Write The Right Way thanking her for her submission.

This year however, Anna was determined to win, even if it meant cheating to do it. Anna sat in the middle of her bedroom floor surrounded by letter laid on ripped open envelopes.

"What is this?!" Her mother questioned loudly.

These are all the stories that were going to be sent in. I'm using them for ideas to write my story." She wrote quickly in her notebook. "There. I'm done." She handed her mother the notebook. The story was like this:

Once upon a time there was a girl. She wore one glass slipper and one red sequined slipper. She had long hair and seven little people that followed her around. She was allergic to apples and peas and fell asleep alot. She liked to go into other peoples houses and eat the food and sleep in their beds. Her father was kidnapped by a mysterious beast that lived in a castle. She delivered baked goods to her grandmother and her sister was a mermaid. She lived happily ever after. The end.

"It's...lovely." Her mother told her.

"I'm going to send it in now."

"Okay. Honey."

^*^*^*^*^

My friend got me into the show Firefly, which has about 14 episodes and was cancelled in 2002. I'm quite bummed because I actually like the show. I can't wait to get my hands on the movie Serenity. I hope it's good. I'd heard from a different friend that it is.

I have to go now. I want to get some writing done on a story I'm writing, and I had a great idea for it in the shower earlier (most of my great inspirations come in the shower).

"No Exit"

Okay my review thing for "No Exit".

I liked the bad guys. I thought it was a cool idea.

My main problem with this episode was Jo. I really want to like her because I know I have to deal with her to watch the show, but I really don't like her. I tried. She just annoys me.

I liked the uncomfortable moments between Dean and Jo, even though I don't like her and I was jealous of her. And the way Dean woke up on that chair, that would hurt. Even if the chair was comfy. You have to wonder how the hell he ended up like that.

I had guessed a little before Jo told Dean, that John had been on her Dad's last hunt. I have already forgotten her Dad's name so I'm going to call him WAH because those are his initials.

I'm a little glad that Jo and Ellen are mad at our guys right now because it means we get an episode without the Roadhouse, etc. I do like Ash, and the way Ellen scares Dean, but Jo still annoys me.

I wasn't as excited for this episode as I have been for the previous ones, but it's okay because the commercials for next weeks epi got me squeaking. I'm totally ready for that one now...seriously, right now.

I Am Living Spoiler-Free

I have been spoiler free for Supernatural since last Thursday, but today I had to watch the clip that cwtv.com posted for the upcoming episode. It didn't really give anything away. And now I know for sure that I don't like Jo. She annoys me. She's too girly. She's supposed to be a hunter, but she wears mini-skirts and uncomfortable-looking shoes? I'm a girl, so I understand that a girl can kick ass and look sexy at the same time, but she just annoys me. And she throwing herself at Dean, ack! She can't have him!!

I think I'm better now. I can't wait for tomorrow's episode though. Tonight I intend on watching Bones (if it's on) and Criminal Minds.

Photoshop

I have just been photoshopping away these past weeks. I just finished making a Drake Bell banner for my friend Bails.

I finished my English project in time. It took me 'til midnight though.
