you left all the lights burning but nobody's home
This was so disorganized I decided to make it a list, a la ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
spadul and inksplotched nad everyone else from Twilight on my flist, ha.
1.I bought the new Alkaline Trio CD! It's been like... years... since I bought a new CD, it's pretty exciting. Huzzah for new music of the legally purchased variety! I've only listened through once so far but I seem to like it so... rock on, Alkaline Trio. I kind of neglected you for a very long time. Oops.
While I was at CD warehouse looking for the album, I noticed they had the second season of Doctor Who -- that's the first time I've seen it, or indeed anything Doctor Who related ove here -- for the LOW LOW PRICE of $115. What the hell? $115? Fail. I know full seasons are expensive, but they're usually in the neighbourhood of $50-$60. I GUESS I'LL JUST KEEP STREAMING FROM RANDOM ASIAN SITES, F U BBC.
2. I finally used a portion of my Chapters gift card and got The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, because classic lit makes me feel smart and the cover was pretty? I AM SO DEEP. Actually it's also because I have a "you have to interest me in the first two pages" rule and she won at that, plus I've had people recommend it to me before. And anyway I'm goign to have to read it in the future at some point. That said I've still got $24 -- suggestions?
3. I started watching How I Met Your Mother after repeated insistances from Joe that it is THE GREATEST SHOW EVER OMG. ...it's not. But it is pretty entertaining, even if it's not much more than your average sitcom. I think I just like Barney. Once upon a time I saw an icon of Ten that said "suit up!" and I wish I had somehow foreseen the future when I would want that icon and saved it.
4. I think this is another instance of "I want to update but I don't have anything to say, really". So for the couple of you I've picked up in friending memes (I am addicted, it's disgusting) --- hellooo! To give you the brief overview I'm Kali, I'm Canadian (if the Canada Day post didn't give it away) and I'm a student which is not really as exciting as it sounds. Probably the only contribution I make to fandom ever is the occasional fanfic, and I mention this primarily becauseanythingbutgrey didn't know that I write for about fifty years and that makes me sad inside because once-upon-a-time I was actually prolific and I identified as someone who wrote, and now people on my flist don't even know? QUELLE HORREUR. Other than that, um, I'm boring.

igrayne5. ...Tomorrow/today is Saturday! I'm excited for the finale, but also kind of sad because when this is over I'll be devoid of OMG speculation and fandomness for quite some time. Damn.
no subject
I agree about How I Met Your Mother. Barney really is the only truly awesome thing in that show.
no subject
Yeahhhh "quite some time" indeed. *whines more* BUT. I'm still excited.
Yeah. The rest of the cast is entertaining and I spent the first episode going "Whoa! It's that guy from that movie! Whoa, it's Willow!" but... yeah, mostly I just like Barney. Robin/Ted makes me want to die because they told us flat-out at the start they don't end up together, so all their will-they-won't-they just makes me want to punch someone. Damn obligatory on-and-off TV couples. I'm looking at you, Ross/Rachel and JD/Eliot!
no subject
Yeeeah, yeah. *is watching what's-it-called, the mid-season-two Cybermen two-parter*
Yeah, I know, exactly. It's just that the series is so overhyped—it's totally watchable and entertaining, it's just not mind-blowingly brilliant. And it's very odd to see Willow in another part, even though I was never a Buffy fan.
no subject
Those two were good. Mickey! Aw, I'm glad Mickey's back. Dude, I rewatched those not too long ago, and wtf, the part about hot-dogs? I don't remember that at ALL from the first time I watched them but lirllll. So entirely random.
Exactly. My friend literally told me to watch it n like, three seperate occasions, then talked about it excitedly, and told me how it was like "Arrested Development meets Seinfeld" and just... no. It's funny, yes, but it's very standard-sitcom and of the tv shows I wach now it's probably my least favourite. You're right, overhyped and not mind-blowingly-brilliant. ...That said, I still use it as a way to kill time.
And same, I was a Buffy fan when I was like... six, but I recognized her right away, haha.
no subject
the bell jar felt like two different books. it changes completely about halfway through.
our random asian streaming sites. ftw.
man, how dare they not know that you write? i'm like, one of your fangirls.
no subject
Hmm. I'm not far into it yet but we'll see what happens. I really have no idea what the plot or general... anything is, so... hmm!
Random asian streaming sites ftw indeed! So many tv shows would be lost to me if not for them. LIRLLL DVDs are for the weak, anyway.
Seriously though $115? WTF.I KNOW I THINK I DIED A LITTLE INSIDE, then I remembered I haven't actually written anything in foreverrrrr. I should get on that. I think the problem is that I've kind of exhausted my HP supply but I'm not really omfortable writing for any other fandom yet. ...And original fic no one cares about, plus I hvaen't written that in FOREVERRRRRRRR.
no subject
all of monty python's flying circus was less than $100. fucking ALL OF IT. ALL THE SEASONS. ALLLLLLLL OF IT.
no subject
and dude I've had a work in progress for like ...five years.
okay well, that IS cheap. BUT STILL. STILL. I remain outraged. It's not even like there's lots of episodes a season, there's like 13.
no subject
The Bell Jar bored me. I recommend F. Scott Fitzgerald, he's my favorite author.
no subject
I'm only on season 2 but I'm pretty much waiting for Barney/Robin to happen, not gonna lie.
no subject
no subject
its soooo funny
barney is hilarious, & marshall is awesome & lilly is soo funny
its going to be LEGEN...wait for it.....DARY!

Even though I haven't seen Season 1 & 2 of How I Met Your Mother,but I know it rocks.I saw last season.heh.

The Bell Jar is an amazing bundle of fucked up win. You'll probably love it.
I WILL DO THIS VERY SOON
no subject
Awesome. I am excited.
YESS DO IT.
no subject
IT IS DONE

This meme always makes me laugh because I'm pretty sure it was one of my first ever entries on LJ, waaaay back when I was like... 12. Yeah. *snort* Anyway, this killed me:
3. ... lirl I'm honestly blanking on anything besides "get laid". Virginity's great and all but y'know, kind of a "must" before dying.
And a bunch of other things made me laugh too, but I'm too lazy to go back and copy and paste them. But it was very entertaining. *grin*
no subject
REALLY? I should go read 12 year old Juli's meme, bahaha.
I am glad to have amused you.
no subject
Why has everyone been so Doctor Who-y lately? SHOULD I START WATCHING IT? I remember your fan-ness convinced me to try it out, I even loaded the whole episode but then didn't have time to watch it and so closed the window.
HOW DO YOU HATE CHICKFLICKS???
I can't believe Ely didn't know you wrote. OH DAMN THIS REMINDS ME OF CHARLUS/DOREA, OMG I AM SO EVIL, I KILLED THEM OFF BY NOT WRITING A NEW LETTER I AM SO SORRY, I WILL REVIVE THEM!!!
I am also an Irish descendant! ROCK ON.
no subject
Um, everyone's probably been extra Doctor Who-y because today is the season finale, and last week it was the first part of the season finale, and the week before that it was the epic return of a character who's been gone two seasons... but yes. And THAT IS A RIDICULOUS QUESTION, OF COURSE YOU SHOULD. I can give you the three episodes I gave Liz to try and get her interested, if you want.
I don't think it wokred on Liz. Actually I don't think Liz watched them at all, lirl.OMG YES DOREA/CHARLUS! THEY MUST SURVIVE, I LOVE THEM.
YESS IRELAND. There's also some Scotland in there. I am very European, appraently.
no subject
AND
ROFLMAO CLAY AIKEN?
