Writer's Block: Your Favorite Series: One Last Go Round [21 Aug 2008|03:58pm] so_bambiesque [ mood | contemplative ] [ music | Rien ] If you could pick any TV show that has been off the air to come back for one more season, which show would you pick and why? Submitted by idle_kid_city View other answers You'd think that I'd say The West Wing, right? NOPE. Yes, I would love to see it rounded off a bit more, and I'm still waiting for the "I love you," and I want more Charlie/Zoey and Will/Kate closure, and a load of other stuff that's too spoilery to mention. In fact, I don't. In my head, I have the perfect vision of What Came Next in my head, and I am way too scared that that could be messed with. It's like when there were rumours about the Friends movie, and I was terrified, because it ended so perfectly and I didn't want that messed up. Look at Sex And The City. So no. As much as I want more West Wing and more Josh and Donna and more amazing cast stuff, I don't want it like that. I would pick Studio 60. It just... never got the chance. The first season was way too overhyped, and it would never be able to live up to that. It became Aaron Sorkin's personal soapbox, and it suffered for it, but he knows that. If it were given a second season, I competely think that it would be calmer, and it would be more settled, and would learn from the mistakes of the first season. TV shows are cancelled too quickly now, and a lot of shows actually come into their own in later seasons. Even The West Wing wasn't a ratings hit until it won about a gazillion Emmys and piqued people's interest. Season 2, on the other hand, was where it picked up viewers. House was nearly cancelled after one season, and look at it now. Same for The Office. NBC were too quick to give up on Studio 60, and I think that it should have been given another season to prove itself. Or it should be picked up by another network more suited to it. I miss Studio 60. I wish I'd brought my DVDs with me. I'm kind of craving it now. comment

I went through all the trouble to get Aerith's level 4 limit manual, and I thought, "hey, I have 'til the end of the disc to teach it to her! No big lol." I totally forgot that she DITCHES the party right after the Temple of the Ancients, all like "plz, like you bitches could save the planet. c u l8er losers." 'TWAS ALL FOR NAUGHT. I've been writing a little bit more lately. Mainly for original stuff, but I really wanna do something fannish, too.

[21 Aug 2008|12:45pm] angiefaith [ mood | sleepy ] [ music | That's How You Know - Amy Adams ] You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and appreciate the kind way you always handle things. Yes, I'm secretly a Twilight fangirl! So sue me.;) (Oh, does this mean I can have Carlisle? XD) 2 thoughts      comment

[21 Aug 2008|08:27pm] alivicwil HB's car got towed to the wreckers this afternoon. We'd planned to remove the stereo (it's not that old), and syphon out the petrol into my car, but didn't have any luck with either. The wrecker's cheque is in the mail. HB needs to contact the insurance company to get the cheque for the remainder. We also managed to fix a leaky tap tonight. It started dripping 2 days ago, and last night started pouring water. We turned off the mains and unscrewed the tap to discover that our builders had filled the gap with silicone - and completely covered the bit you're supposed to unscrew to replace a washer. We didn't really have the right tools, either. (I feel like I shouldn't be living out of home if I don't have the right tools! It's like driving, without knowing how to change a tyre.) We did a late run to Bunnings - they're open 'til 9pm and picked up some tap spanners and a full set of screwdrivers (HB only has bits and pieces). Now we're drinking beer and waiting for the Chinese delivery. 1 thought      comment

the start of a brand new day [21 Aug 2008|12:00pm] rumarienne I decided that today should be my clean-up day. Not just in the sense of cleaning the house but also my life, at least a little. I'll make my room look presentable, iron my clothes, and prepare everything for reinstalling windows on my notebook. I think I have this notebook for about three years and I've never reinstalled it in that time. It's so cluttered that I can't even defragment anymore... Not a good sign. Then I want to take a walk outside and buy some healthy food. Then I'll check out some fitness studios near my hometown. I realized yesterday that every single one of my friend does some kind of sport and tries to live healthily, all except of me. I'm the only one sitting lazily in front of the computer all day eating candy. And I'm the one who would need to live healthier the most. I really want to lose some weight.. So, hopefully all goes well. And hopefully I'll still think the same way tomorrow, or next week, or next month... I think I'm going to reward myself with a paid account if it works out.. 2 thoughts      comment

Lol Americans. [21 Aug 2008|07:11pm] zenni [ music | MUCC -- Sorewasure ] Surprisingly, my vow not to buy any new DVDs/books until I've finished all of what I have on hand is holding up really well. Look! I stole this meme from ittykat There's been an accident, and my memory's been wiped. I have no recollection of who I am. Tell me about myself. What do you know about me? What kind of person am I? What are my likes and dislikes? How did we meet and how long have we known each other? Is there one thing in particular that stands out about me? Tell me who I am. 12 thoughts      comment

"If you bring a Japanese man home we're disowning you." [21 Aug 2008|12:41am] lovelyable [ mood | enthralled ] [ music | Goodnight and Go - Imogen Heap ] Kohei Uchimura. Can I marry you please? All five-foot-three-inches, 119 pounds of you? Even though I would feel like a gangly, overgrown giant next to you. I would even let you brag about winning silver at men's AA all day.

Woman, whatcha gonna do now.. [21 Aug 2008|03:42pm] jozae [ mood | My nose is blocked. ] [ music | My Doorbell | The White Stripes ] All this drizzle is making for a miserable day. Accidently slept in this morning but I somehow managed to pull on some clothes and make it out the door in five minuted for my 9am Math midsemester test. It's a good thing lecturers are just as lazy at students as I found the test to be comprised from questions that were similar or the same as those found in tutorial problem sets. I don't think I did extremely well because I got a couple of weird answers that were extremely mean numbers with sinh's, cosh's and square-roots everywhere, however I think my working out will be sufficient. I was too bothered with my runny rose and blocked up head to concentrate much in my two hour Transport and Traffic lecture, but if you must know, we analysed traffic light combinations by forming equations. Cold wintery days always make me wonder why the Engineering faculty is one of the few buildings with zero heating. Not to mention the broken lights, broken sliding doors and constant draft. Who designed this piece of shit? After class I caught the bus back and moped my way through the rain and mud back to Reyan's house. He has central heating, which makes days like these non-existent. Alas, time moves too fast and I find myself back in my own cold house, huddled next to the portable heater. These photos from Elle Magazine's August 2008 issue that feature Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale are making it increasingly easier for me to envision a warm Summer's day spent frolicking in the grass. The photoshoot has a real Grease/Bandstand vibe to it and if you stare hard enough I think there's a quaint little story there as well. Not to mention Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are 100% pretty-full and perfect for each other. How retro. ( ++ ) comment

attn: icon makers! [20 Aug 2008|10:01pm] gunslinger_dev Hey guys, I'd hate to do this to you all, but I've noticed some icons with a certain quote from Tropic Thunder. And.. Well.. You've written the quote wrong. Instead of it being, "I'm the dude, playin' the dude, disguised as another dude!" it's: "I'm a dude, playin' a dude, disguised as another dude!" I'm only being honest. I promise you that this is the right quote. Here's the sound clip for proof: So with that said I give you one icon with the proper quote:   comment

I've been a bad, bad girl... [20 Aug 2008|08:50pm] missangelyss So..... it is not a good thing to forget to eat anything all day then suck down a venti Frappuccino while stressed to the gills. This accounts some for not only how pissed I was at my brother but also for some of the shaking. Because I was very literally shaking. I'm still quite annoyed and would have been regardless but this is not really that surprising from my brother. Under normal circumstances, I probably would have just rolled my eyes, commiserated with my sister and been pretty much over it. I got back the reply I expected, basically telling me that it is everyone's fault but his own and that I should have done something or Jillian should have done something but he couldn't possibly have done anything, blahblahblah. Jim will be back this weekend and has the next week off so I guess we, Jillian and anyone else can rope in will go try to figure out what to do with everything. He very blatantly said that there was nothing of value, sentimental or otherwise, in the storage, something which he couldn't possibly know, so we'll just leave him out of it. And if I do happen to find Grandpa's medals in there, the ones which he claimed to want so bad when were talking after mommy died about what might be in there, he just might be out of luck. After all, he wanted to just let them auction it. 3 thoughts      comment

Question [20 Aug 2008|06:47pm] ambergold I am confuzed, darlings - what's the difference between soft and hard subs? 6 thoughts      comment

Brotherly love... [20 Aug 2008|05:40pm] missangelyss Fucking snippy ass reply from my brother regarding the email I sent him this morning asking if he could afford to help with the storage payment. Like I said in my last post about it, I was fully expecting him to not be able to but it couldn't hurt to ask. Or that's what they say. Apparently, they are wrong because he got all kinds of defensive and went on a rant about how he "tried" to get it taken care of before this. I call bullshit. If he'd tried, he would have succeeded. As the legal next-of-kin, he could have gotten into that space at any time but he was too busy or too tired or too whatever. We're all too whatever... and we're suffering the consequences for it. The least he could do is keep his big mouth shut and just say, "Sorry, I can't afford to help. Thanks for taking care of it." He grows more and more like our dad every year. I am really so pissed at his reply that I am fucking shaking. I shot off a reply back... probably shouldn't have in the heat of the moment but I basically told him to not be such an ass. That I didn't demand money, just asked if he had it. I certainly didn't mention that he reminded me of Dad. That would have started a royal fucking war. As it is, I'm expecting to get either another pissy email or the silent treatment. Not that he ever really talks to me so that wouldn't be much of a change. Fucking Fucker McFuckington. *deep breath* Ok. Now I'm done. 1 thought      comment
