Evil Wrapped in a Fangirl Disguise

Mom and Dad came over Thursday night for the various gift shows in Seattle. Mom spent Friday and Saturday buying stuff for the flower shop. Fun.

Friday Dad picked me up at the dorm after I had my meeting with Dr. Cumberland. It went really well. Really liked talking with her, but still not sure what I think of her in class. We came up with a topic for my research paper, but I think I'm going to change it a little. The idea we came up with had to do with a Classics Illustrated edition of Frankenstein and comparing it with the actual text. But that's going to require hunting down an out-of-print comic. Or finding another version. Which takes *time*. Not a whole lot of that lying around here. So, over the weekend I found a version of Kafka's The Metamorphosis. I'll run that by her on Tuesday.

So Dad picked me up and we went to Kay and Greg's where we watched I Love the 90s, Part Deux and I Love the 70s. Then we went and picked up Mom and spent the night watching the Sci-fi channel. Claudia Black was on SG-1! She was awesome and hilarious. Li'l bit of a girlcrush there. I even had a Stargate: Atlantis related dream. Don't remember it very well.

Saturday we went to the mall and I bought Coupling Season 4!! (Jack!) And Farscape: Peacekeeper Wars!! (Yea!) Also bought a couple of CDs. That night, instead of going to a movie - we were all too tired, we stayed in and randomly watched Ginger Snaps. Not entirely sure just what I thought about it. Didn't think it was a total waste, at least. Then we watched some crap movie on the Sci-fi channel with John-Rhys Davies.

The "major" thing that happened Saturday? A little while after the crap movie finished, I finished reading Barefoot Gen. Really enjoyed it. But it kicked my ass. And then it used my kicked ass to wipe up the floor. Damn, but it was upsetting. At one point near the very very end, I had a slight panic attack at one of the pictures. All I could think was, "OMG, get it away. I can't look. I can't look." I *cried*. It killed me.

Today we saw Nana Fran and went to Barnes & Noble, where Mom bought Jon Stewart's book about America. Then my parents went home. And, yeah, that's about it. Neesha finally gave me her opinion about the very small piece of writing I sent her last week. So I sent her another piece of fanfiction. This one was finished! And even got feedback for already! Score. So, that's awesome. Makes me want to write more. Which is a very *good* thing.

But now, it's off to bedforshire with me.

Well, frell me.

American Literature exam today. Bleh.

You know what makes everything better though? Godiva Chocolate. mmmmmm.

I need to work on my Frankenstein vocabulary. Meh.

No work for me tonight! I got it off to watch the end of The Peacekeeper Wars. WOO!

FARSCAPE MINI COMMERCIALS MAKE ME HAPPY.

Apparently the Sci-fi channel is doing a Farscape marathon every day until the Friday before the mini premiers. SQUEE!! Only, like, 16 more days until that! And only 4 more days until the season 4 box set comes out and is mine. This all makes me very very happy.

Right now, however, they are showing "PK Tech Girl" from the first season. I'm not a huge fan of this episode, mostly because I can't bring myself to actually like Gilina. I just...don't. And it's not even that I'm all about John/Aeryn, because at this point, at the seventh episode of the entire show, they aren't at the point where they're even really acknowledging any feelings. It's just that she's kinda blah to me, y'know? But I do love the jealousy from Aeryn ("In the beginning I found you interesting." "Me?" "Yes, but only for a moment!") and the whole issue with Rygel and his memories of the Zelbinion and Durka. The Sheeyang's (spelling?) "teeth" kinda freak me out, too.

Anyway, it's Farscape and it's all good.

And now they're showing "Thank God It's Friday Again".

AERYN: She gives me a woody.
JOHN: ??? ::stare::
AERYN: Woody. It's a human expression. I've heard you use it often. When you don't trust someone or they make you nervous or...
JOHN: *Willies.* She gives you the willies.

ahahahahahaha. ha.

Natasha and I went downtown yesterday to meet Kasey and Kit to see Wimbledon. I'm gonna say I enjoyed it. For what it was at any rate. Only really went for Paul Bettany. But! Captain Pellew! I saw his name in the opening credits and I'm going "is that-? i think that's-? is it??" and then he came on screen. Heh. Go Robert Lindsay.

I am such a weirdo.

Beforehand, Natasha and I went to Suncoast because I wanted to get Eternal Sunshine, but it was friggin' sold out. ::pout:: They *did* have Coffee and Cigarettes, so I bought that instead. And reserved Farscape season 4. I overheard the employees and a couple of customers talking about Jane Espenson and Tim Minear and Serenity. I love how all of the guys who work there all *know* this really geeky stuff.

There's finally a poster on the our other wall now. Natasha ordered the Prisoner of Azkaban poster featuring Ron. 'Tis shiny.

Also, apparently Orlando Bloom ::coughweeniecough:: cannot get away from playing blacksmiths. Celeborn's in it, too, though. And Brendan Gleeson (hence the Mad-Eye freek out below). And Edward Norton. And David Thewlis. Liam Neeson. Jeremy Irons. Dude, after looking at the rest of the cast maybe I will go see this movie...Because, um, just look at it!

And, omg, they've cast Mad-Eye Moody????? Where the *hell* have I been?? Why am I so surprised? Of *course* they've cast him, the fourth HP is already filming, d'uh.

OMG!! OMG!!

*hyperventilates*

I was/am watching the season premier of Stargate SG-1 on Sci-fi and they showed a promo for Peacekeeper Wars!!! For anyone who doesn't know, that would be the Farscape mini that will be coming out in October, the perfect birthday gift for moi.

I can't get the grin to go away. I'm so excited now! This means I've got about three months to watch the third and fourth seasons.

YEA!!!
