I was getting sore irritated with the colour scheme so, yeah, I re-did my LJ layout. By which I mean, new header, new colours. I didn't have the want in me to do more than that. In the meantime, I'm waiting for more 30 Rock, and I've started up on season 2 of The Wire. Also: I have SG:A 1x01-04 waiting for me. I watched the first ten minutes of Rising and was very giddy. Did I mention I love pilots? Because, yeah, and nothing gets the happy buzzing than going back for some old school.

The next Numb3rs rewatch should be Democracy because I already capped One Hour. Except the whole team is so damn awesome, I'm going to rewatch that one as well. (The scene when David is in the freaking auditorium? DAMN. I'm so into the Granger/Sinclair dynamic right now, and not just as a ship that I occasionally write, but them as presented in canon. They are kicking my ass.)

The other day, I was thinking about how season 2, for me, was really bound up in Don and Alan's relationship, and how I felt season 3 was really poor from that perspective. I don't know, I get irritated by Alan sometimes, which is a shame because like I said, in s2, I was all about that father-son relationship, and how Alan's relationship to Don was filtered through Ma&Pa Eppes' relationship with Charlie. Also: random ideas of first-borns versus whatevers. I don't know. It sort of went to pot, unfortunately.

I think it comes as NO SURPRISE that I'm really, really eager for Megan to be back out there doing things. I think I need to rewatch some season 2.

I've run out of non-academic texts to read, so I should probably get back to Homer and Graves, right? Argh. It's not even that I'm not interested, it's just that I find the Homer translation really, really dry (and the tone is weird, too), and the Graves text is a hard read in and of itself. I'm also freaking out a little - okay, a lot - about what the theoretical/academic base for my dissertation is going to be. The three texts I'm covering cover a lot of ground; they're all post-modern works, but they're also in their own little spheres. AND I need to re-read them all, taking notes. I'll be glad to get back to Soton so that I can (a) settle in before the semester begins (WHY am I taking that creative writing unit? I'm going to die) and (b) use the freaking library. I'm hoping to find a spot in there that I can claim as my own. And I'm hoping to invest in a very, very cheap MP3 player so that the silence doesn't make my head implode.

I really, really, really want to watch some Deadwood. Is that weird? Wait, don't answer that.

As someone taking a university Creative Writing class I can say that will there are sproadic feelings of woe, mostly it's a lot of fun (or at the very least I'm learning some interesting new writing things). Hopefully there will be a similar experiences for you.

Icons! Icons! Icons! If you do more, I'd love to see more of Colby outside of the Frank Gehry Walt Disney Theatre in One Hour. Seriously my favourite part because he's so cute and the building is so beautiful. Well, not as pretty as his Guggenheim in Bilbao, but that's because Bilbao is just so much more awesome than Los Angeles. :D

I remember when I watched Rising, I actually got it through Netflix. It was sort of slow in the beginning, but I remember the whole damn thing was so exciting for some reason, with the new adventure and whatnot, and it literally had me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole two episodes.

Heh. I shouldn't be taking it at all (I, um. I don't belive in creative writting courses? That sounds existential and more than a little stupid but I can't explain it any better). Apparently it's going to be poetry-based which: argh. I mean, I write a lot of poetry, but still. I don't know why I'm doing it! (Sharing drafts OHNOES. I also think there's a drama component which, frankly, fuck that.) lolz. Not cut out for this.

No, I'm done iconning One Hour. Anyway, you're the one bitching about your HD!

I watched it when it aired in the UK. Actually, I watched SGA in a really WEIRD order. I watched the first half of season 1, the first half of season 2, some of the second half of season 1, the rest of season 2, the rest of season 1 and then season 3. So. Yes.

Oohhh...yeah, you're right. Ah, fuck it! *downloads more icons*
Actually, what I like about your icons is that they are so worth it, so I delete the useless pictures off the computer that I can always download later on. what I should do is get pages that you post of different episode at tja_rama and take screen shots of the pages and edit them slightly to get rid of the windows and whatnot, and keep all the icons on a white background and make them into desktop pictures! That would be really cool, and since I have no idea if I'd ever get a paid account, I could still use one or two in my userpics, but then rotate desktop images when I feel like putting a new episode up.
And actually, I found my external hard drive that my mum lost so I can upload all the icons onto it that I want to keep for ever and ever. :D

Haha. I watched the show sort of weirdly too! I believe the first episode I ever saw was Michael, at my dad's house. If I didn't, then I watched one before that (The Long Goodbye), then Michael, then I saw 4 diffferent ones from season 2 (Conversion, Coup, The Intruder, then one more) then I may have seen Instinct (saw Instinct before Conversion). Haha. THEN, I saw the pilot and basically watched almost every episode in order, then I think every season 2 episode in order, just in time for season 3 to come out on SciFi, and I watched the rest there. :D
