FYI: While I don't know what pomegranates have to do with the holidays (unless we're going Greek and refering to Persephone, Demeter, and the changing of the seasons), the makers of 7-Up decided to make a holiday version of said soft drink with said flavor, and lured me in with their wily marketing schemes. (In other words, I was getting groceries this morning, and it was on the shelf, and I said, "Oooh, that sounds tasty!") Anyway, it's really quite bad, and I recommend against it.

Ways to know you've been spending too much time in front of the computer watching TV and on the futon reading for class: your butt starts hurting. Rather badly. Although possibly this is related to the annual, "Oh, it's fall, and the weather's changing! I must remind you of that time six years ago when you slipped on some ice and broke/cracked/bruised/made me hurt for six months straight!" thing my tailbone does. Slightly different place, though. Although it seems to have expanded today to include basically the waist through the thigh...
Enough about my butt.
Re: the TV: I...am going to guess that "Two Bodies in the Lab" spawned 1.2 million fanfics. Just a guess, mind you. Awww. (But, for the record, just the kind of thing I do not need in the hour before I go to bed is to be shocked with an exploding refrigerator. Just sayin'.)
Zack is almost human! He's much less creepy now. I think he started using vocal inflection or something. And they finally used a song that didn't suck in the desert episode. Yay Patty Griffin for saving us from bad rock songs.
My medium-length paper this semester got canceled (HURRAH!), so I feel slightly less guilty about watching, um, 17 episodes in less than a week. Soon I'll get to the end of S1, and have to rely on Netflix for the rest until I get to S4, so the madness has an ending in sight.
(I kind of want to go searching for a Bones icon, but I don't want to spoil myself more than I already am. (I, er, may have been trying to find out via Wikipedia if they film on location, and in doing so found out certain things about Zach, Angela, and Hodgins. And I perhaps have a vague idea about something concerning Brennan's parents. But if there's anything ELSE left to surprise me, I'm going to try and make it until I see it on the show.) Perhaps I'll just make one in all that copious free time I have right now...)

tarzanic gave me some icons to talk about :

LOLcaptions and the absuridity that is Pushing Daisies just had to go together somehow. Olive's gun-in-a-pie gave me just that opportunity.

Julian and Jadzia! They were either my first or second shipper couple. I was twelve, I think. I still love them. Worf does not exist in my world; instead, both of them made it through the war and lived happily ever after togetherdammit.

Well, that cap was used for precisely that purpose all over LJ after the first Christmas special aired. :D

Along with the preceding one, this is one of the few New Who icons I have left after I got angry with RTD. It's Nine and Rose fom "Father's Day," with a quote from Henry VI Part...two, I think. One of the Henry VIs. It's my catchall Shakespeare icon; I think I'm going to replace it soon with another Shakey quote paired with a cap from a show I don't have such mixed feelings about.

Saskatchewan is really flat. And sometimes really beautiful. Brent and Lacey of Corner Gas make great pals, too. (I think I might have shipped them once, but it would be really weird if they went there after all this time.)

I did this as one of
rivrea's five, so I'll summarize: Mahandra is awesome. :D

So many shows seem to do that...perhaps it's a calendar you can buy.
I... would buy that calendar?
Although that must have hurt for Booth.
Knights in shining FBI standard issue body armor do not whine when damsels in distress clutch at their broken clavicles! They... only whine about pudding.
And in the dance scene, did you notice that flying kick she started off with?
Bwah! That was the flail to end all flails!
I would have put him at twenty-five, max.
I bet he'll look exactly the same in twenty years, too.
I was not so lucky at avoiding that arc. Nor one for two other characters. I have to say, I'm looking forward to the next two seasons in entirely different ways now...
Yesterday I got spoiled again by youtube, which is utterly unfair. I'm not allowed to look at The Internet anymore until I get caught up.

As would I.

Judo-flavored flail!

Almost certainly.

Uh...why were you looking on YouTube? At least with fanfic, you're not quite sure if you're reading a spoiler or fiction; with video, it's always a spoiler. (What was it, anyway?)

Uh...why were you looking on YouTube?
I was looking for official s2 trailers of very limited spoilertude, to see how the show was presented by Fox's ad campaign. I continue to view fanvids as several circles of Hell deeper than fanfic, and avoid them at all costs.
(What was it, anyway?)
Max seems to become a recurring character onscreen instead of just off?

I heard about that. Can't remember if he does it from jail or not, though.
