Day 27 - A pairing that you loved and ended up hating?

Hmm... you know, usually when I love a pairing, I love them to the end, so I had to think quite a bit about this one. I suppose my answer is Cooper/Violet from Private Practice simply because I gave up on them (and the show) halfway through season 2, but it's not the ship that I came to hate, it was the show. I hated how the show came back from the writers' strike and suddenly ignored that Cooper/Violet had ever been a thing. It was quite a huge part of season 1, and quite frankly it was the only thing that kept me watching that stupid show, and it killed me to see them just forgotten about in favor of Cooper/Charlotte (which is gagtastic, by the way. Ugh, cannot stand them, and apparently that ship is still going strong? Maybe? I don't know. All I know is that it's a sucky ship). So, yeah, I went from shipping Cooper/Violet hardcore to just not caring anymore. But if I ever hear that the show is reintroducing the Cooper/Violet love story, then yeah, I'll go right back to obsessing over Private Practice in all its awful glory.

I think House/Cameron kind of qualifies for similar reasons. Loved the ship in seasons 1 and 2, but throughout the course of season 3 it became clear that the show decided to drop their romance, and of course my love for House promptly declined, and once Cameron and Chase got married and the show started pushing House/Cuddy too much I gave up on the show all together. There just wasn't anything there to keep me coming back anymore (especially when House/Wilson started being sacrificed in favor of House/Cuddy. Ugh).

But yeah, with both of these ships, I still love them to death, it's just that they both have been effectively sunk, therefore they are no longer worth my time. I have a feeling that it would have been different had they been purely subtext ships, but they were both subtext ships that were also sort of canon, and for some reason, when those don't happen, it crushes me even worse than my purely subtext ships do (which is why I'm so worried about the fact that I've gotten so invested in Jeff/Annie from Community).

Day 06 - Least favorite character

You know, this ensemble is so damn lovable that I really don't have a least favorite from the main cast, or even the main recurring cast, so, the answer to this one is Professor Slater. She was a terribly obvious plot device and not much else. Yeah, she was needed in order to show Britta that Jeff can be "relationship guy," but meh, ultimately she was just there. Luckily they didn't use her much, and when they did, they still managed to give her some pretty good lines.

( next up on the curriculum... )

In other news, I had no idea until today that the Merlin fandom was experiencing wank! (the Arthur/Gwen corner, anyway) Thank you, fandomsecrets, for keeping me informed about such shenanigans! I was wondering why yet another Arthur/Gwen comm had been made. I've always been a little wary of camelot_love, if I'm honest, because it's always come across to me as a very anti-anything-but-Arthur/Gwen place, which, it's a shipper comm, so that attitude isn't all that surprising, but the mod has always struck me as a bit batshit, so I stayed far away from that comm despite being a member of plenty of other Merlin shipper comms. I just... didn't want to get involved in that. I had the same problem with herchampion, they were so strictly Arthur/Morgana and nothing else that I found them a bit scary (which, again, it's a shipper comm, so it's expected). But yeah, it's stuff like that that makes me happy that my OTP is the one that most people take no notice of since it's so unlikely to happen in canon that no one sees it as a threat (though, I'm pretty positive a lot of people classify Uther/Morgana as a depraved ship, but whatever, is there any ship on this show that isn't at least a little bit depraved?). And most (if not all) Uther/Morgana shippers happen to be multi-shippers with very few squicks, so it's all good fun.

Seriously, The Office keeps making it up to me for sucking so hard in the beginning of the season. OH MICHAEL/DWIGHT! HOW YOUR MESSED UP LOVE AND ARGUMENTS ABOUT TOILET INVENTIONS SPEAK TO THE VERY DEPTHS MY SOUL! &hearts &hearts &hearts And, even though Oscar didn't have any lines tonight (did he?) I totally gleaned Andy/Oscar subtext from this ep. Their subtext doesn't even need dialog... because it's subtext... so it's unspoken.

( The cold open was magnificent... )

30 Rock was legendary tonight. LEGENDARY! DID YOU SEE THE LOVING LOOKS SHARED OVER THAT PORTA-HOTTIE? Oh yeah. It is love, baby. Love all the way. And Jenna/Tracy continues to rock my world. And Tracy/Kenneth. In fact, Tracy/Anyone pretty much rocks my world. Tracy was definitely the MVP of this episode, he had me laughing like a madman. AND DR. SPACEMAN! GOD, I LOVE THAT MAN! I used to not be able to stand Chris Parnell on Saturday Night Live, but ever since he became Dr. Spaceman, I just can't not love him. I don't know why I couldn't see his awesomeness before. The only time I liked him was when he did that flamboyant dancing brothers sketch with Chris Kattan. Anyway, Dr. Spaceman is awesome. Obviously. Dudes, I just really loved this episode. I don't think there was a moment where I wasn't laughing my head off. It was such a ridiculous episode. AND DID I MENTION THOSE LOVING LOOKS? *dreamy sigh*

Ugly Betty was okay. I still miss Daniel/Betty sharing deep moments, and I still don't care for Daniel/Molly and think they totally screwed that storyline up (even if it will shorten Molly's time, I just... don't like what they've done there). Betty/Matt was back to being likable in this episode. Hilda/Archie is pure adorableness. Ignacio/Elaina continues to make me smile with glee. Wilhelmina and Marc were hilarious. But... this whole Betty/Matt and Daniel/Molly thing. I feel like it's ridiculously tedious, even though I know it needs to happen for character development and it's actually an advantage for Daniel/Betty shippers since Molly is a Betty stand-in and Matt is a Daniel stand-in, but ugh, TEDIOUS. Daniel and Betty are best when together. Apart, they're rather boring, which is sad, because they used to be my favorite characters. Now I seem to care about everybody but them. That's just... not right. They used to be my #1 ship. WHAT HAPPENED? *cries* With each new episode I'm feeling the Daniel/Wilhelmina vibes more and more, which... I don't think is intentional? Not in the romantic sense, anyway, but damn, I actually found myself saying tonight, "Oh, just make out already, will ya?" *sigh* This show. It is so inconsistent that it blows my mind. And... it's so cracky that I really wouldn't be surprised about an almost-step-son making out with his almost-step-mother. Heck, he slept with his almost-half-sister repeatedly.

After many weeks of avoiding it, I somehow got sucked into tonight's episode of Private Practice, and... ugh, it's still making me ridiculously angry. Cooper/Charlotte just makes me hate both of those characters so very much and I just don't get why they love each other. I DON'T GET IT! WHERE IS THE LOGIC? Seriously, from a storytelling viewpoint, it just makes no sense. In season 1 he was blindingly in love with Violet for years on end, and then in season 2 he wants to marry Charlotte. She cheats on him, he's still with her. I DO NOT GET THIS AT ALL! And then he goes home to Violet and talks to her pregnant stomach and Violet has her hands in his hair and a blissful smile on her face, AND IT FAILS TO OCCUR TO EITHER ONE OF THEM THAT THEY BELONG TOGETHER! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS SHOW? Also, I don't get Violet not wanting to know the father of the baby and being all "It's my body, it's my uterus." Yeah, well, it took two to make that baby, and the men actually want to be involved and she just shuts them out and refuses to let them know which one's the father like they don't have a right to know if they have a child or not? Again, WHERE IS THE LOGIC? That is not empowering for women, that is just pure stupidity. I've missed the last 4 or 5 episodes, but honestly, not much has changed from 5 episodes ago to this one. The show is still making me see red and annoying the crap out of me. Ugh. And what kills me is that I still live for those little Cooper/Violet moments, and the show is totally trying to make me its bitch by giving us that ending scene between them. UGH! Also, Tara from Buffy the Vampire Slayer was in this ep, and I literally squeed when I saw her. TARA! &hearts &hearts &hearts

Also, I am terribly, terribly addicted to "Buffy/Giles trapped on a deserted island" fanfic. It is sad how many of those fics there are. And it is sad how much they excite me. *sigh*

I think my Head porn properly summarizes my feelings about The Office and 30 Rock tonight.



OH MY FREAKING GOD! THEY WERE EPIC! BOTH OF THEM! OMG, BJ NOVAK, COULD YOU PLEASE WRITE EVERY SINGLE OFFICE EPISODE FROM NOW ON? PLEASE? Because you get it. You get the characters. You get the mix between comedy and drama. You get that it's an ensemble show. You get that it's not a soap opera. You get the office hijinks. YOU GET IT! MAGNIFICENTLY! PLEASE NEVER LEAVE US EVER AGAIN! GAAAAAAH, THIS EPISODE! IT WAS HILARIOUS AND AMAZING AND EVERYTHING I USED TO ADORE SO FIERCELY ABOUT THIS SHOW! Also, 30 Rock was epically epic in all of its epicness. JACK AND LIZ ARE IN LOVE! I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS, THEY ARE IN LOOOOOOOOOVE!

( The Office aka Hilary Swank: Hot... or not? PS I love you )

In conclusion, this episode was great. Really, really, really great. This was on par with seasons 2 and 3. So brilliant.

I think I'll save my 30 Rock commentary for tomorrow, because I have to see the ep again in order to fully capture every squee-filled moment. But I laughed a lot, I sighed in happiness a lot, and I got all melty inside quite a bit. Shippiest episode of anything ever without being overtly shippy. AND IT UTILIZED FRANK AND TOOFER!

Ugly Betty made me cry a little, and it made me roll my eyes a little, and the Betty/Amanda scenes melted my heart, and Marc FINALLY sort of standing up to Wilhelmina was awesome, but I was totally jipped in the Daniel/Betty department. I was expecting support and confideyness, or else angst and feelings of betrayal at not telling each other everything, but instead we just got tiny scenes with no emotional depth whatsoever. THANKS A LOT, SHOW! UGH! I thought Daniel was supposed to be Betty's best friend, right? But his mother cares more about Betty and Ignacio than he does. Hmph. He should have been there at the hospital with her, supporting her at every turn, just like she'd do for him, did do for him, actually.

Private Practice made me bawl. It depresses me so much that I don't know why I insist on watching it, especially on my comedy night. I went from complete glee to a big ball of tears and continued anger at the show completely dropping Cooper/Violet. UGH! UGH, SHOW! I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS GOING TO RESURFACE FOR A MINUTE THERE, BUT OF COURSE NOT! UGH! UUUUUUUGH! And it kills me to see the gloriousness of Cooper and Violet comforting each other in the closet, only to have Cooper/Charlotte and marriage talk shoved at me in the next scene. UGH! UGH UGH UGH! Stupid show. I hate you. I hate you so much. And yet I continue to watch you. This is a very strange addiction. I have to say though, even though I'm dissatisfied relationship-wise (and often character-wise), the show has gotten tremendously better with the case of the week plots, and the emotion is a lot more organic than it used to be. But I still miss the show I fell in love with. :'(

Right, well, I think I'll go watch The Office for the third time tonight. OMG, IT HAS BEEN SO FREAKING LONG SINCE I'VE DONE THAT!

I think I used up all of my glee on Anthony Head today, because all I can remember about my shows is the bad stuff. Although, The Office was hilarious, until my stupid NBC station put a different voice over the show and I had to mute it and watch it with captions. SO NOT COOL! I MISSED THE ENTIRE ANDY/DWIGHT SMACKDOWN! FUCK! Technology hates me. IT HATES MY GUTS! Finally we get almost an entire episode about Andy, and the douches at my local NBC station decided to torment me. WHAT THE FUCK, MAN? And since the jokes on The Office are very much about delivery and visual gags, I missed out since I was so busy reading, and of course they were all talking at the same time, and ARGH! DAMN IT! I MISSED ALL THE JUICY PARTS! But the bits that I saw with the real audio were awesome. Also, I highly approved of the ending, even if I couldn't hear it. I do believe I whooped when I looked up from the captions and realized what was happening.

30 Rock. Utterly hilarious, aside from Selma. PLEASE GET THAT WOMAN OFF MY SCREEN! SOMEBODY! Ugh, she is so not right for the show. CC, Phoebe, Bianca, they all worked. Selma's character? Not working. Seriously, what's the point of her character? Couldn't they have at least made her jokes funny? Ugh, I can't wait till her episodes are over. And again, it's not that I don't like Selma, because I do enjoy her in other things, but she is just so not right for 30 Rock. Perhaps for a smaller role, but it feels like they're straining to give her dialog just for the sake of getting her screentime. It sucks the funny right out of the show. Anyway, if you forget her scenes, then the ep was excellent.

( Spoilers )

Private Practice. This show just keeps making me angry, and I honestly have no clue why I'm still watching it. I should have learned after Grey's Anatomy, but I didn't. At least Grey's got in 2 or 3 good seasons and they kept the primary ships afloat. With Private Practice, my main incentive was Cooper/Violet. They made me giddy, they made me absolutely obsessed, and their entire season 1 story has pretty much just been thrown out the window like it never happened, and I keep stupidly believing that it will come up again, but it doesn't, and it never will, so I should just give up. And then the show goes and gets me into Pete/Violet, and they manage to screw it up after 2 episodes. WHAT THE HELL, MAN? And I just feel nothing for Cooper/Charlotte. They bore me like crazy and it sucks that they get so much focus. Cooper never got that much focus when he was obsessing over Violet. And I just don't like Cooper when he's with Charlotte. He's all... blerg, he's just not the Cooper I fell in love with. If anything from the preview for next week actually transpires, I probably will have to call it quits, especially since all the show makes me want to do nowadays is throw something at my TV. I mean, the actual episode was really good, but the relationship dynamics are all screwed up and so not what I fell in love with, and not what I was originally tempted with. Sam and Naomi are the only ones who have stayed true to what they were. Anyway, the show was finally winning me back with Violet/Pete, but then tonight Pete transitioned back into emo-horrid-acting Pete, and that saddens me. *sniff* But Sheldon is sweet. I just... wanted more from Pete, I guess.

ETA: ( Okay, now I'm going to have to work REALLY hard to not want to drop The Office too. Latest spoiler info )

FUCKING YOUTUBE! FUCK FUCK FUCK! I've just lost every single one of my fanvids ever created. FUUUUUUCK! I never got around to resaving them off of YouTube after my computer crashed, so they are gone. Forever. Because stupid YouTube deleted my account. Irony? The account that I use for actual copyright infringement is perfectly in tact. WHAT THE FREAKING FUCK, YOUTUBE? GODDAMN IT! I CAN'T EVEN DISPUTE IT NOW BECAUSE THEY'VE BLOCKED ME! FUCK! All my vids. All of them. Gone. Do you know what a travesty it is that the Blades of Glory fandom will no longer have a fanvid entitled "I Touch Myself"? THAT WAS MY MOST EPIC VID EVER! FUCK! That was favorited in the 500's. AND MY ANDY VIDS! GONE! Fuck fuck fuck! My Lassiter/Juliet medley! *cries for all eternity* I hate you, YouTube. You are dead to me. DEAD, DO YOU HEAR ME? FUCK! The only survivor is my Uther vid, since I just made that one I still have it on my computer. But all the others? Gone. Forever. I am seriously angry about losing my Blades of Glory ones. Which is weird, because those took the least amount of work, but they were my most hilarious ones. ARGH! Couldn't they have done this BEFORE my big computer crash so that I would have been like, "Ooo, I need to put these suckers on a CD." FUCK! DAMN ME AND MY LAZYASS WAYS OF NOT BACKING ANYTHING UP! I hate YouTube. So much.

As for 30 Rock, Selma Hayek really needs to stop trying to ruin my top ships. I swear to you that her next stop will be on Psych, where she will proceed to woo the pants off of Carlton Lassiter. MARK MY WORDS! When this happens in two years, you can look back at this post and be like, "Yeah, Selma wants to make firthy miserable." Seriously, she's killing me. All she's good for are blatant giant boob shots. The odd thing? Jack didn't even look at her boobs, whereas he's always looking at Liz's. So, that's a little weird, because, you know, I'd be staring at that woman's boobs. I think Alec Baldwin was making it a point to keep his eyes averted. Other than the lack of awesome in regards to Selma's character/appearance, the rest of the show was utterly hilarious and I loved it to death and I am heartbroken that Selma is signed on for six episodes instead of Peter Dinklage. WHERE IS THE SENSE IN THIS? They're usually so good at picking the recurring guest stars, but man, they screwed it up with this one. I hope Selma gets better. She wasn't horrible, just... not good. And it's not even that I don't like her, it's that the material isn't really her. I don't know. At least on Ugly Betty she actually embodied the character (sadly it was a horrid character), whereas here it just doesn't feel natural at all. The scene at the party was a little more natural, but perhaps I was just distracted by the bountiful cleavage and flowing hair? I don't know.

( Specific Spoilers )

Private Practice. I missed the first 15 minutes because I had no idea it was on tonight, so I completely missed Cooper being jealous. DAMN IT! But the more I watch of this season, the more I think that the Cooper/Violet ship is completely dead in the romantic sense. The show has somehow sucked out all of Cooper's feelings about her being the love of his life and turned them completely platonic, as if Cooper had never been in love with her, and it's just... missing what used to make them shine so much. But unlike most people I've heard from, I'm actually really loving Violet/Pete, because if I can't have Cooper/Violet, then Violet/Pete was what I wanted as a consolation prize, and I'm really happy with what the show did with them in this episode. I may not like how they got together, but if they keep them this interesting, then I may end up loving them more than Cooper/Violet (because honestly, season 1 Cooper/Violet feels like it happened on a completely different show and I feel like they've veered off into a never-gonna-be-approached-again direction). The sad part is that I really can't stand Cooper/Charlotte. I honestly want to murder them both whenever they're together, and I used to love Cooper with every fiber of my being. Now I can barely stand him. This season I've been loving on Pete, which is just wrong in every way if you go back and read my season 1 comments. So, I don't even know what to do with Private Practice anymore. The show as a whole is better, but I don't like what they did with the relationships. But I like Violet/Pete if only because they are now my most favorite characters on the show, and they're HOT, and Tim Daly finally developed a capacity to show subtle emotion with his acting (as opposed to over-dramatic ridiculousness, or else completely wooden).

I missed Ugly Betty. :'( I set my tape, but it didn't record. My DVD recorder is on the fritz, so I had to go old school and use my VCR, but apparently I've forgotten how to properly program it. DAMN IT! OLD TECHNOLOGY BAFFLES ME! Stupid VCR. Hmph.

Me and the nephew got along fine, by the way. I actually got him to school on time! Early, as a matter of fact. We were the first ones in the parking lot. I forgot his snack though. And I forgot to rinse out his humidifier after he told me several times to not forget. The snack thing I was reminded of several times by about 3 people. And I forgot to make him brush his teeth before he went to bed. Obviously my memory sucks. But I remembered his actual meals! And his shower! And his bedtime reading! So it's all good. Alright, I best be shutting down now, because my nephew will probably be poking me at 7:00am tomorrow and telling me to wake up. *sigh*

Thursday nights are the greatest nights of all. Especially Thursday nights like this one. HOLY CRAP MY SHOWS WERE AMAZING TONIGHT! ALL OF THEM! ESPECIALLY UGLY BETTY! DANIEL AND BETTY OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!! OMG! IT WAS BETTER THAN THE BRIDGE SCENE! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!! I defy anyone who continues to say that Daniel and Betty don't belong together in the end. I DEFY YOU, RANDOM FANS WHO DON'T SHIP DANIEL/BETTY! DON'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO BURST THIS SHIPPY BUBBLE OF MINE! OMG IT WAS AMAZING! Luckily I read the spoilers, so I knew beforehand to expect something amazing tonight, so I had the DVD recorder on, and... I've already watched THE scene about 20 times now. This should embarrass me, but you know what? It doesn't. But aside from THE scene, the entire episode was pure awesomeness, from Daniel's mancrush on Conner to Wilhelmina getting flummoxed to Marc freaking out to Amanda desperately trying to be a good friend and failing miserably because she's so damn oblivious. AMANDA, OMG! MY HEART WAS HURTING FOR HER! AMANDA! I love it when they show Amanda trying to be a good person. She usually fails because she gets bored with it, but this time she was sincerely doing good things because she cared, and then it all came crashing down from one stupid mistake (really, really stupid), and she almost lost the one person that could truly love her (besides Marc of course). I demand that Amanda stays Betty's roomie forever. But oh man, do I love how this episode fully encompassed its title of Crush'd. Daniel and Wilhelmina were crushing on Conner, Betty was crushing on Jesse, Amanda was crushing on Betty, and then the whole thing with Cliff and Marc, and... they all got crushed, naturally, but they also all found salvation in unexpected places. Also, THE SCENE! THAT SCENE OMG! DANIEL AND BETTY! GAAAAAAAAAH! I love how emphatic Daniel was. And I loved that Betty knew he meant it in the end, whereas with Jesse she wasn't quite sure but she had gotten her hopes up. Ooooooh, this episode. Also, Daniel was teasing Betty like crazy through the whole ep. I love it when this happens. Especially when he mocks her for the very things that are causing me to roll my eyes. I &hearts Daniel.

And then, AND THEN, The Office was back to its usual hilarious self and I got back my Michael/Dwight interaction, along with hilarious tomfoolery between Jim and Dwight, and a very possessive Andy. Seriously, Andy was turning me on with all that repressed anger bubbling just under the surface. Also, this ep kind of made me want to ship Kelly/Dwight. There was some intense eye action going on there. They would have THE greatest hate sex in existence. I'm serious when I say that. That's how hot the eye action was.

30 Rock was absolutely hilarious. I wasn't big on the Oprah appearance, but Liz's reaction to her made me laugh pretty hard, because one of my sis-in-laws would be exactly like that if she ever met Oprah. But the best part of this ep? (aside from the Jack/Liz interaction which inherently isn't shippy but somehow was anyway because Baldwin can't stop it with the sex eyes) The made up Olympic events. Those were pure genius. I love whoever thought of all of those, they made me laugh for a very, very long time. Especially the synchronized running.

Life on Mars was AMAZING!!! Best episode yet. The end surprised me. I mean, they left hints galore, but it still fooled me for a second. And then it made me cry a tiny bit. The entire episode was wonderful though. And next week's looks even better. I'm glad that I keep going back to this show just for the hell of it, because I think I'm starting to truly fall in love with it.

It's Always Sunny was a little slow at first and I thought it was going to be a crappy ep, but then they threw in Cricket and loogies and wooden teeth and they had me rolling with laughter. Especially the teeth.

Also, I watched Private Practice earlier today and it felt like a season 1 episode, and that made me so very happy, because I was starting to get terminally bored by the lack of Cooper/Violet interaction this season. But that episode was wonderful.

Also, this afternoon my nephew told me that I'm his hero. I know he was just saying that because he was reciting his movie, but you know what? I don't care. I am now going to tell everyone that I'm his hero. Of course, I've told him on several occasions that he's MY hero.

Anyway, it was a good day, and a very good night. And I got nothing done today. Because I watch too much television. Especially on Thursdays.

1. It always bites me in the ass.

2. Optimism and Foodlion just don't mix.

3. Optimistic is just another word for impatient in this case.

4. THEY DIDN'T FREAKING HAVE THE NEW TV GUIDE YET! ARGH!

5. I knew for a fact that they wouldn't have it yet, but I stupidly went anyway.

6. Now I have to go in on Friday and look like a douche because all I'm buying is a TV Guide.

7. Actually, the clerk had no idea when they get their new TV Guides in, so I may look even douchier when I go in, see that they don't have it, and buy absolutely nothing.

8. This is the ONE time when I remembered everything I was supposed to get from the grocery.

So, yeah, that was a waste of a trip. I mean, besides the groceries we needed, but I'm pretty sure we could have held off until tomorrow. But I'm betting they wouldn't have it tomorrow anyway. And the premiere will be on Hulu by then, so the absolute need to get the magazine will be gone. But I still want it for the pretty, pretty pictures. *sigh*

In other news, I think jenncho is starting to convince me of the merits of House/Cuddy, so maybe I won't be so dissatisfied next week.

In other other news, Private Practice is on tonight, and I'm pretty excited. VIOLET! AND A CRAZY MOFO WIELDING A PLANK OF WOOD! *super dramatic music* I want Cooper to be going out of his mind with worry, okay? Please? I need me some juicy Cooper/Violet scenes. Last week he said that Violet's the only person who would ever comb lice out of his hair for him, and yet he's proclaiming his love for Charlotte? COME ON, COOPER! No, no, this needed to happen. Violet needed to realize how much she needs Cooper in her life, and how their friendship really extended beyond friendship, until now, because Cooper's in love with someone else, and Violet has the misfortune of being completely oblivious to something until it's gone. So, yeah, I really want to see what happens tonight. Odds are, nothing happens because promos like to be over-dramatic. *sigh* Oh well, I'm still excited. But it's scaring me how well suited Cooper and Charlotte are for each other, and it's making me think that they may never go the Cooper/Violet route, purely to torture me. Although I'm loving the idea of Violet/Pete more and more. Seriously. Pete usually does nothing for me in the chemistry department (honestly, the man is so incredibly unconvincing with his love interests that I am left with complete confusion as to how he's supposed to be the sexy one), but with Violet? He's... he's actually emoting. TIM DALY IS ACTUALLY EMOTING! WITH A WOMAN! And it's kind of maybe extremely hot. And I kind of maybe want them to makeout. A lot. And get caught by Cooper. Hey, if Cooper can get some loving, so can Violet. Although, Violet is his sort of therapist, so I guess that would be weird. But, come on, it would be insanely hot. The butt grope is proof of that, yes?

And, because he's feeling neglected:



Random Damian Sex has returned. Oh yes.

So, it's been what, 9 months since the ABC Wednesday night lineup was on? You'd think absence would make the heart grow fonder. Instead it made me say, "What the freaking hell?" I mean, PP and DSM were fine, just... so mediocre. And Pushing Daisies was so effing annoying. The background music was so loud that I couldn't focus on the dialog, and I just find this show so very boring. I remember loving the pilot and thinking it had so much potential, but ever since then it basically makes me want to claw my eyes out. Except for the Olive scenes. I love Olive. But not enough to continue torturing myself with all that boredom. SORRY! I know most of you love that show, but I just can't take it. I tired of the concept after the pilot, but at least I liked a few of the eps. Now I really can't take it. Especially with that nonstop music. I don't need the quirky, fairytale type music to express EVERY SINGLE thought/quirk of the eyebrow/emotion. It's just so tiresome. Anyway, back to Private Practice and Dirty Sexy Money.

And now, a meme to cheer me up:

1. Open your unsorted images folder, or, if you don't have one, any other images folder.
2. I will give you a letter.
3. Find the first three images that begin with that letter, and post them, whatever they are. Give the name they're saved under.

And just because:

Also, if you're wondering why this post gets Damian's Crotch Icon, it's because Shonda Rhimes can suck my (Damian icon's) dick. No, I shouldn't say that. I didn't hate the episode. I'm just invested in Cooper/Violet a little too much.

This song is still my theme song. Except I'm not a dude. And I'm not into Sci-Fi. And I wasn't talented enough to be on the marching band. But, you know, the general message of the song fits me pretty well. And, the video has my man William Shatner, so... Actually, the Shat is better in this video. Greatest Simon Cowell mockage ever. Oh lordy, that vid never fails to make me laugh like a madman. Particularly the very end.

Anyway, PRIVATE PRACTICE IS BACK TONIGHT! COOPER/VIOLET! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!! It has been forever. If I hadn't rewatched the episodes so often, I would have forgotten absolutely everything. Luckily for me I obsessively watch the scenes of my ships at least 20 times each, so... I'm good. Cannot wait to see what's up with Cooper and Charlotte, and I really can't wait to see Violet's reaction. GAH! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S FINALLY BACK! But, you know, my heart belongs to Jack and Liz at the moment, so it's really hard to get too excited about Cooper and Violet. But we'll see.

Speaking of Jack and Liz, here is the promo that has been driving fangirls mad for the past week (I don't care if everyone's posting it, it deserves to be seen 20 billion times):



GAAAAAH! THE SLUG! Oh, I love them. I didn't realize that she slugged him quite so hard. But oh how I love their little gleeful noises. And of course the face touch. THE FACE TOUCH! I think I'm more excited about the slug though. Because I'm weird. Also, you know how I talked about doing a Jack/Liz picspam? Well, look at this beautiful one by cecism instead, because my work is piling up and I probably won't get to do a picspam anytime soon. :'( JACK AND LIZ! LIZ AND JACK! JACK/LIZ! I watched Jack Meets Dennis last night. I love Dennis. So very much. I still stand by my statement that I want a Dennis. We would be ridiculously happy together. But um... anyway, I love Jack's disapproval of him. And I love that scene in the elevator where he doesn't say a word and Liz just keeps going on and on and Jack's looking all sexy and amused. Man, watching all these early episodes again made me remember how freaking sexy Baldwin is with the short hair. PLEASE KEEP THE SEXY HAIR, BALDWIN! YOU MAKE ME ALL WOBBLY WITH THAT HAIR! I also forgot how much more the ensemble was included in the show (like, it didn't feel so disjointed. Were there even any writer room scenes this past season?) Anyway, I'm enjoying my rewatch of 30 Rock: The Early Days and pondering the evolution of both Jack and Liz and their relationship, and how they've both come to depend on each other for EVERYTHING, like they can't even do anything without the other's input, and in season 1 Liz was always going to Jenna and Pete to discuss her serious problems and with Jack it was mostly work-related stuff (then it evolved into relationship troubles, which then evolved into every little aspect of everything). Oh, how I love them.

Part 1 here.



Whew.  I had no idea I've had so many ships.  Damn.  And now for the meme that grimorie and adlervan tagged me for:

1. List your top seven character ships
2. Put all of them in order of your love for them; 7 to 1, 1 being your main fixation.
3. Name the movie/show that they're in.
4. Supply photos for said people.
5. Tag seven people.

Refer to all the babbling above (and in previous post) for the pics/reasons why.  Keep in mind that my ranking changes with wherever my obsession takes me.
