( This show will always and forever OWN MY SOUL!!! )


( And a couple of things about the Veronica Mars season 3 premiere... )



In other news, I'm (yet again...*sigh*) hopelessly behind on the flist. But...BUT...wait for it...*drum roll*...I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED MY WINCON VID!!! YAY!!! *dances around* Well, OK, I still have a little bit of tweaking to do, but I'm essentially DONE! I am SO happy! And I finished it, like, DAYS before I thought I would, too! Craziness!

Four more days of work and then road-tripping and fangirling and EEEEEEE!!! You guys, I can barely even contain myself I'm so fucking excited. I can't believe Wincon is almost here! This time next week we'll be in NASHVILLE!!! *essplodes*

I'm HOPELESSLY behind on comments and my flist because MY WINCON VID IS EATING MY BRAIN ZOMG!!! Also? Spending over an hour going frame-by-frame through the whole Dean-torture scene from the end of "Devil's Trap" just about broke me.

I'm going to make an attempt to get caught up on the flist tomorrow after work.

But I just HAD to poke my head out long enough to squee about "Heroes"!

Seriously, if you missed it? Download it. NOW!

( OMFG this show is SO FRIGGING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!11111!!!!eleven!!!1!11111!!! )


I was going to watch the premiere of "Veronica Mars" on msn.com today but apparently the content is only viewable in the US. Well fuck you too, MSN! In hindsight it's probably a very good thing that SPN didn't premiere early because I would have been VERY disappointed indeed if I missed out on that.


Have to go to work tomorrow. Blech. I can't believe my weekend is already over and that I didn't finish my goddamned vid yet (I'm telling you, I'm probably still going to be working on this fucker in the car on the way to Wincon!)! Today was the only day I really had to work on it as yesterday I went shopping with my mother for many many hours. Though I did get an uber-cute haircut, spiffy new shoes, and a t-shirt with the words "Bown-Chicka-Bown-Bown" on it, so it's not like it was a complete waste of a day ;-)


And finally, a couple of random things pertaining to winchestercon:

1) exsequar and apocalypsos, I called the hotel and the room is now reserved under my name, just so you know.

2) quietdiscerning, did you get my email(s)?

3) SIXTEEN MORE DAYS ZOMG!!!

I'm feeling very odd right now, all sick and panicky for no particular reason. I honestly can't tell if I'm feeling sick because I'm panicky or I'm feeling panicky because I'm sick.

*breathes*


I'm in this weird, overly emotional headspace for the past few days, I think a lot of it is because I've been spending entirely too much time by myself. I just don't deal well with being completely in my own head for extended periods of time. pumpkin_dude and I continue to be on completely opposite shifts at work, so I see him less than a half an hour every day. So yeah, that totally fucking sucks. Thankfully we have the long weekend coming up so I can finally spend some actual time with him.


I'm really sorry that I haven't been commenting on your journals in the past little while, I'm going to at least make the attempt to catch up with everything in the next couple of days. Either that or I'll just say "fuck it" and just read the past few days, considering it will take me like 12 solid hours to actually read thru everything that's been posted since last week. I know there are a bunch of comments I haven't responded to and I really need to feedback a few vids and fics. Again, I am sorry. Stupid internet-related guilt.

I annoy myself sometimes. Anytime I'm away from LJ for a few days and I know my flist is at like skip=1000 or more I tend to get intimidated and instead of trying to catch up with my flist while it's still at an even slightly manageable size, I wind up just avoiding it entirely for several more days because it's just too overwhelming. Then it like doubles in size and becomes even MORE unwieldy. Yeah, work taking away my LJ access? Ruining my life. For serious.


The main reason why I haven't been around in the past week and a half is that I suddenly had an insanely strong muse attack last weekend. I haven't had this much of a NEED to make a vid in...well, ever. I mean, it's not the most brilliant or complex vid I've ever done, and weirdly enough it's not even set to one of the six songs on my SPN vid list that I vowed to finish during the hiatus. I just found this song and my muse basically grabbed me by the throat and said "OMG! VID THIS RIGHT THE FUCK NOW!!!"

So yeah, I had hoped to finish it in just a couple of days, but sadly that hasn't been possible. I've been working on it FOREVER and I still have about 1/3rd of it left to go. I kept having timing problems as the song has an uneven beat and for awhile I couldn't quite figure out exactly where to cut and things like that. But I think I've finally got it worked out now, I just need to actually FINISH the fucker. Hopefully it turns out OK. I have this fear that it will wind up being one of those vids that only really makes sense to me. I'm not able to look at it objectively so I really won't know if it will make sense to anyone else until it's already done. I just know that I HAVE to finish it.


Blah, anyway. I'm getting moved to a new contract at work which means four whole weeks of paid training. Four weeks without having to deal with ANY asshat customers! *dances* It almost feels like a frigging vacation. It's boring as hell, but give me boring lessons over screaming fuckwads any day.


And on to some TV related things because I haven't posted about ANY shows in almost two weeks! I'm the worst fangirl ever.

( Grey's Anatomy )


( American Idol )


( Veronica Mars )


Speaking of new seasons of CW shows...waiting for the 18th to hear if SPN is renewed is giving me a fucking ulcer. Because I know I flat out will not be able to handle it if that show gets canceled. I know it's pretty much a sure thing at this point, but I just can't relax until it's officially renewed.


K, I'm going to shut up now because this is officially the longest, most disjointed post ever.

OK, does anyone else laugh at that tampon commercial where they're singing the line "It's an ordinary day!" while some chick is jackhammering? Like any day that you're JACKHAMMERING (while having your period) can be called "ordinary"? WTF? [/random]


Sweet jeebus, I intended to read my flist yesterday night but then LJ went all fucky, so I had to catch up tonight and skip=660! *boggles* It took me literally all fucking night. And that's a filtered view with only a few comms!


OK, this? Is hilarious! It's Elijah Wood getting Punk'd. Poor boy looks like he's about to burst into tears!


Haven't seen tonight's "Lost" yet, I'm waiting for pumpkin_dude to get home. Just from scanning over my flist (and thank you to everyone who was kind enough to spoiler cut) apparently something really shocking happens. So I'm mildly intrigued. It's kinda sad that last year I held my breath all week waiting for a new "Lost" ep to air, while this year the most excitement I can muster is "mildly intrigued". And that's only occasionally. I can't seem to give up on it for some reason. *shrugs* I'm giving it until the finale to really grab me again, but if it doesn't, I really might just stop watching it next year. *sigh*


Anyway, on to a show that I still love with all of my heart:

( Veronica Mars )

OMG, you guys, less than 24 hours until the finale of SPN! *hyperventilates*

The new Supernatural spoilers that mrscutedean found have filled me with a squee so great I may never recover!

( Spoilers )


On a much more irritating note: WTF, UPN?!

I wait MONTHS for a new Veronica Mars episode only to find that the channel I watch it on is preempting it for fucking BASKETBALL?! Basketball? Really, does anyone give a shit about basketball? I want my fucking SHOW dammit! Over a month of hiatus and the day it comes back they decide to show FUCKING BASKETBALL instead???

*fumes*

Oh, and this is great. This is just perfect. Guess when they're going to be showing the episode. No really, guess. I'll give you a hint, it's the absolute MOST inconvenient time possible (yes, even more inconvenient than VM's usual timeslot against Lost and Bones).

You know when they're showing it? Next TUESDAY AT 9 PM!!! The same goddamned time "Supernatural" is on! WTF, UPN, WTF? I mean, I suppose I can just download the fucker off bittorrent, but that means I won't get to see it until at least Friday. I've been looking forward to watching it tonight for weeks!

ARGH!


Man, I totally didn't want to get sucked into watching American Idol, but I was bored and started watching it last night and I fear I might be hooked.

I'm calling it right now and I just want it on record so if/when it actually happens I can point to this post and say "Look! I was right!":

The girl who sang the Billie Holliday song on last night's show (her name is Paris something--the one with the famous grandmother) is going to win the entire competition! Mark my words. MARK THEM!

Blargh, I have twenty minutes left of work then two days off! Woot! pumpkin_dude and I decided we're going to head down to Cornwall tomorrow to visit tweyelite.

I haven't seen her since fucking OCTOBER, so YAY! See you tomorrow, chickie!

I'm holding for another department right now, and they're playing "Edge of the Ocean" by Ivy. How cool is that? Now I can wait on hold while scenes of delicious Logan!angst run through my head ;-)

In other news, I managed to burn my hand while making lunch and now it hurts like a mofo.

That is all.

( Lost )

So do we have a new episode next week or was last week's the last one until the LOOOOOOOONG hiatus?

Why do ALL my shows have to do this to me at the same time? I can deal with one or two of them being off the air (well, OK, I TOTALLY can't deal with "Supernatural" being off the air), but ALL OF THEM? "Supernatural", "Veronica Mars", and "Lost" are on hiatus until January (well, I know VM has one new episode, but still), "Prison Break" is gone until MARCH (better than May, but still...FUCK YOU, FOX!), "Threshold" is cancelled outright (*fumes*). Anyone know if "Grey's Anatomy" is going on hiatus too? Because that would be pretty much all my shows. *whimper*

Anyway, on to ( Veronica Mars )

( Survivor )

( Amazing Race )

( Prison Break )

I really need to overhaul my journal with a better layout. Still Dean-and-Sam-related of course, just something slightly less sucky. I also think it's about time for a Dean/Sam eyefuck picspam too, because nobody does hot/wrong meaningful glances like our Winchester boys ;-)

( Veronica Mars and Lost spoilers )

Tra la la, I need to make a general "New TV shows" post. There are so many new shows out now it's fucking crazy.

This comic perfectly illustrates my life right now.

Fuck.

Why the hell do most of my "Veronica Mars" eps have to be encoded with this STUPID-ASSED XVID CODEC???!!!

I can't even open any of them in Premiere, and no matter which program I use to try to re-encode them into something less retarded, it crashes EVERYTHING!

So much for making "Veronica Mars" vids.

Finally changed my LJ layout. So now instead of Dom staring at me from the sides of my friends page I now have some Veronica Mars eye candy :-)

Also decided to forgo the Charlie/Jack moodtheme for one featuring the lovely Kristen Bell (I'm not obsessed, I just like her a lot!).

It took me FOREVER to change my fucking layout because for some reason I can't figure out how to get a graphic at the TOP of the page instead of the side (yes, I found tutorials and followed the instructions--it just didn't work!). So I had to alter my shiny new graphic to fit the side instead *grumble*. Oh well, it looks alright there, it's staying for now.

Going to a barbeque at my parents' house today. My grandfather is going to be there, which is good as he's easily my most entertaining family member. Especially when he gets some wine in him :-)

I attempted my newest "Lost" vid yesterday (it's set to "Be Yourself" by Audioslave). I got about 45 seconds into it then realized that it sucks ass! I think I'm suffering from a lack of planning. I have some parts planned out but I have some large portions (like some 30 seconds to 1 minute long stretches) where I have no clue what to put. Methinks I need to make a more coherent outline then start over.

It would probably be smarter of me to do a vid that I already have planned out. I have a couple of ideas that are about 95% outlined at the moment, so I should probably get on those ones first.

I'm so freaking tired right now. I fucked around with photoshop and my LJ settings until 6 am!!! I'm a moron. And now my dad's here to pick us up. Hopefully I can stay awake for the whole afternoon.
