I have been reading The Last of the Mohicans ALL DAY, and I can take it no longer.

[icepixie]

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 together dammit.



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

I would just like to say that right now, this up-to-her-eyeballs-in-work grad student really hates you. Nothing personal, you understand. Well...mostly. ;) Oh, the TV I would love to sit down and watch...sigh.

What evil could possibly make you think that might be tasty?? (Also, I have some pomegranate-flavored bridges you might like to purchase...)

I...am going to guess that "Two Bodies in the Lab" spawned 1.2 million fanfics.

Bwahah! It's like the producers had a little note on their calendars: "This week: pander to the shippers." Dorky dancing! Hospital bedsides! Getting blown up! Hug tiemz! Poor Booth and his puddings. And did you notice that Brennan took her kung fu to insane levels WITH BOTH HANDS LITERALLY TIED BEHIND HER BACK?? I lol'd.

Zack is almost human! He's much less creepy now.

See?? Now if only he could look older than twelve... (IMDb says the actor is thirty-four, and this is his first major tv role - before, he did musical theater and once played a... dancing polar bear?? Oh IMDb, you are a font of wonder.)

Muahahaha! Me too.

I know! I got eyeball whiplash earlier today, trying to get away from an unexpected spoiler about a Zach arc. Nooooo!

Was it really 6 years ago now that you fell on the ice...?
Cause I remember you talking about that like it was yesterday. Sheesh!

Hope your butt feels better soon!

Hmmm, I'm curious what you found out. Trying to remain spoiler-free seems like a very good policy. I saw parts of season 3 before starting from the beginning. It was a strange perspective to have.

Awww, Julian and Jadzia! I miss them.

Yay, Mahandra!

Two Bodies in the Lab is one of my favs from S1 and for some reason Hot Blooded follows me around on the radio now, it's really kind of annoying *L* The Skull in the Desert (another fav) is what sparked my discovery of Patty Griffin and I gotta say I'm really glad it did cause she's awesome :)

Also, you do not want to know what I thought the gun in the pie actually looked like prior to your explanation of what it was. ;)
