time and relative dimension in space

Because I missed yesterday, you get two days instead of just one.

Day 07 ♥ Least favorite episode of your favorite TV show

*considers*

A lot of the episodes that LOST fandom hates, I love. ("Exposé", for instance. You guys. Razzle freakin' dazzle.) However, there is one episode that I agree with popular hate on, and that is "Stranger in a Strange Land".

I don't understand the point of this episode. I mean. Wikipedia's description includes the line "Flashbacks explain the origin of Jack's tattoos." Please point me towards one person who was at all interested in the origin of Jack's tattoos. Why would you spend an episode on that, I can't even.

Day 08 ♥ A show everyone should watch

*pimps out "Kings"*

It's a loose retelling (emphasis on "loose") of the Biblical story of King David, set in a contemporary-styled fantasy kingdom called Gilboa. And it's fantastic. The dialogue walks a fine line between Shakespearean, Biblical, and modern, the characters are all fascinating, nuanced, often horrible but ultimately sympathetic people, the worldbuilding and mythology is intricate and well-planned-out. And also I'm so in love with Jack/Joseph it continually blows my mind.

Also also, Ian McShane.

Annnnd, I'm going to pick up sanestlunatic's 30 Days Of Who meme as well.

Day 01 ♥ Your Favorite Quote

That is the dematerializing control. And that, over yonder, is the horizontal hold. Up there is the scanner, those are the doors, that is a chair with a panda on it. Sheer poetry, dear boy. Now please stop bothering me.

The First Doctor, explaining the TARDIS control room to Steven. And it is just such a fabulous encapsulation of both the Doctor and the TARDIS, I love it.

Overheard: "So I was seriously scared that between how much I drank last night and how much I was sweating today that I'd walk out and hear some kid say, 'Mommy, why does Badger smell like Daddy?'"

During intermission for Twelfth Night tonight, Portland and I got on headset and started chanting the ASM's name in creepy whispers until she got on headset and yelled at us for being creepy. Then we started chanting the SM's name, until the ASM pointed out he wasn't on headset and so it was ineffective, so we started with one of the actors' names, and she pointed out that he never goes on headset ever, so we started with "We're bored" "Really bored" until the SM got on headset and then we chanted his name until he went "I'M GOING TO RUN AWAY IF YOU KEEP DOING THAT".

In our defense, we were really, really bored.

Also, I less than three my changeover crew. We finished tonight's changeover so fast omg. (Okay, so it was Twelfth -> Willows, which is our easiest changeover. Still. SO FAST.)

Also also, in a week I will be UNEMPLOYED. Unemployed, you guys. *sadfaces*


...non-work stuff? Um.

...I have a ridiculous amount of fandom consumption to get caught up on. I still haven't seen the last two episodes of Kings. Or all of Children Of Earth. Or the most recent episode of Psych. Or the two unaired episodes of Dollhouse. Or even the last episode of Pushing Daisies (which I am afraid to watch because then it will be really over omg). Also the tenth book of Everworld. And ARDU's rendition of "The Unknown".

I have all of these, I just haven't watched/read/listened to them yet. I'm so behind. It's tragic, really. Also, I maybe have too many fandom obsessions.

Can't...brain...properly...

I managed to do a little Rift stuff, but not as much as I want to. What I have failed to do, along with that: write up a bio for my new job (no more than 125 words, and that's all the guideline they gave me WTF I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR I HATE WRITING BIOS); answer a couple outstanding e-mails; upload and post picspams from that meme a few posts back; other Rift stuff. But I can't brain properly for any of it, which is frustrating.

It probably doesn't help that the Internet spent part of the day being broken. But honestly I likely still wouldn't have gotten anything done if it hadn't been.

(I did, however, mount a bunch of my posters and autographed pictures on cardboard and finally get around to hanging them in my room. LAZY FOR THE WIN. I also hurt my thumb somehow while doing it. I DON'T KNOW.)

iTunes has been consolidating my library for something like 24 hours now. It is still not done. It looks like it'll be done by late tonight, though.

Also, this is depressing the hell out of me. Why does NBC hate me? WHY?

This, on the other hand, is something everybody should see.

And there's a new episode of the [title of show] show!

( Kings 1x05 Judgment Day )

All in all, good episode, I enjoyed it.

( Kings 1x04 Insurrection )

Ahaha. I babble. Good episode!

Below the cut find A Newbie's Guide To Kings. If you are on my flist and have not yet gotten hooked on this show, read on. If you are on my flist and are already in love with the show, gawk at the pretty pictures. If you are not on my flist...hi!

Way not-dialup-friendly.

- I swear I am still working through the alphabet prompts.

- So, Prince Jack is in Chicago and has met two people so far. Well, a girl and a cat. I'm very excited about this, I hope it goes well. For me, not necessarily for him.

- Also, my flist has been inundated by April Fools pranks. LJ's news prank was lame. metaquotes had a decent one. I enjoyed bwaydaily's Tony Award For Perfect Attendance article, that was funny.

- Also also, Tom Guiry is going to be on Kings! That makes two Donnelly brothers showing up so far. If we can get Billy Lush and Jonathan Tucker on as well, it's practically a reunion. Not really. Okay, I just really want Billy Lush to show up on this show. If Keith Nobbs wants to show up, too, I won't complain.

- LOST tonight!

*flails*

I just put together a Beyond The Rift application for Jack Benjamin and sent it in.

I just...I don't know.

*flails more*

( last Friday's Dollhouse )


Also, ( I finally got around to watching the first four episodes of Kings )

So yeah.
