No Time to Say Hello, Goodbye, I'm Late, I'm Late, I'm Late

dreamingofnothing — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 00:44:14 +0000

Calling this point in time chaotic would be an understatement. (When I asked to have something to do so I wouldn't get too used to being lazy before school started, God, I didn't mean this!) Between unpacking and working on my high school transcript (sometimes partial homeschooling sucks. I hope all of you normal earth-bound homo sapiens appreciate that) and trying to figure out what on earth I'm going to do for the HarperTeen Up All Night Contest, which I am determined to enter (as soon as I can scrounge up an idea worth more than an instant's thought) and prepping for school, and the HarperTeen First Look book (Suicide Notes) which came in not five minutes ago, which I have to review by the first of September - not to mention the art exhibit and national parks that my family is intent on taking me to-

And then CBS programming begins my new seasons on September 24th and October 3rd (CM and Numb3rs respectively - and since CM was inconsiderate enough to stick the entire team in separate SUVs and then blow an undisclosed one up, I'm not postponing seeing the season premiere. Even though I know that's just rewarding their nefarious behavior) in addition to the PSAT (Pre-SAT. Don't even ask why I'm taking it after having taken the SAT twice) on October 21.

Yeah. It's like that. I've had to suspend all of my library holds, so only the few that snuck through and are already in transit (Ink Exchange, Havemercy) are going to reach me before school starts.

So it's been fun. A blast, actually. I'm supposed to be working on my transcript as I speak (basically, I have to write course descriptions for everything I do, then figure out how many hours I spent doing each course, and calculate credits from that, and fill them into the big Transcript Format and discover exactly how far behind I am and how chaotic the next year will be) but I couldn't keep working on it. I'm taking a break to write this post, and then I'll eat lunch.

And for those of you who just looked at the time on this post, yes, it is 5:30. My eating schedule has been so messed up, you have no idea.

So I bid you all farewell. If I don't post (or reply to emails, BlindinglyArticulate, though I'm working on yours next. Fear not) then don't fear for my safety or health. I'm still here, albeit buried under the largest workload I've had since the time I tried to learn everything on the AP Bio test in a week. My word. (Before you ask, yes, I did actually just say that).

Have a wonderful day, all. Sorry for not posting at all for forever. Yes, you can pretend you care, invisible readers. Even if I'm not sure I should be using the plural to define y'all (is it ya'll or y'all? Ya'll looks right to me, but y'all makes more sense. I think). And if you have any ideas for me, BlindinglyArticulate, please share your thoughts. In an email, though, because I'm too paranoid to share my secrets here. *Insert hysterical, ironic laughter here* Even though I haven't read your blog in ages before today. Forgive me, my friend.

I will convene and reconnect with you forthwith, Junior G-Man. Over and out!

Don't ask.

Criminal Minds 4, spoiler e video

lady84 — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 17:17:40 +0000

Avevamo già parlato del finale esplosivo della terza stagione, che ci ha lasciato a domandarci chi morirà o verrà gravemente ferito nell’esplosione. Kristin ha fatto un recap della situazione, e di certo dalla lista degli ‘esplosi’ possiamo eliminare Garcia: “Se spari ad una ragazza, ha detto Kirsten Vangsness, poi non è che la fai saltare per aria”.

Secondo Kristin, a saltare per aria potrebbe essere Hotchner (Thomas Gibson), visto che la Vangsness ha rivelato che sì, il suo personaggio avrà ancora a che fare con Nicholas Brendon (il suo fidanzato hacker), ma “prima avremo a che fare con i problemi di un tizio chiamato Thomas Gibson“. Se veramente Hotchner fosse la vittima, dovrebbe andare incontro a traumi psicofisici e alla riabilitazione…discorso che ovviamente vale per tutti, ma che nel caso di Hotchner ha un’aggravante: l’agente Kate Joyner (Sienna Guillory) che potrebbe essere morta e che somiglia in maniera impressionante alla ex moglie di Hotchner, Haley (Meredith Monroe).

Esplosioni a parte, nel corso della quarta stagione scopriremo qualcosa del passato di Reid che ci spiegherà perché il dottore è così attratto dai serial killer: secondo Matthew Gray Gubler, “ho appena letto un episodio con una storia veramente dark per il mio personaggio, una cosa terribile che gli è capitata da piccolo e che viene fuori all’improvviso…causandogli degli incubi. Sono sicuro che i fan odieranno la cosa, ma io la amo“.

Il segreto di Reid potrebbe avere a che fare con Luke Perry, futura guest star della serie: “Perry sarà uno psicopatico leader di un culto poligamo, ha detto l’attore, e io finisco sempre per essere ostaggio dei teen idol, prima James Van Der Beek, ora Luke Perry. Poco fa ho visto Scott Baio, e giuro che lui guardava me…ma nell’ottava stagione vorrei mi tenesse in ostaggio George Michael!!”

E dopo l’idea di uno spinoff, quella di un crossover? Secondo Pauley Perrette, Abby in NCIS (serie sempre della CBS), e Kirsten Vangsness…sì! Le protagoniste potrebbero essere proprio le due attrici, almeno secondo quanto da loro dichiarato: “Siamo amiche da sempre, hanno fatto sapere Perrette-Vangsness, siamo andate a scuola insieme e siamo migliori amiche, ci piacerebbe se accadesse“.

…accadrà? Non ci resta che aspettare il 24 settembre, quando sulla CBS vedremo la premiere della quarta stagione di Criminal Minds…

Criminal Minds: Golding Pays A Visit!

displacednewyorker — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 00:45:00 +0000

Criminal Minds: Well now we have an answer to what is going to happen when A.J. Cook (JJ on Criminal Minds) takes her maternity leave. We have a Criminal Minds replacement on their way to pitch in.

"A.J. Cook's due date draws near, and I'm hearing that her character will be "having the baby in nearly real time," meaning that A.J. and J.J. will be giving birth all but simultaneously on TV and in real life.

And on that note, I can tell you that there will be a new liaison on the team while A.J. Cook is off on her maternity leave. Meta Golding is signing on for the gig, and she'll appear on the series beginning at the end of October. I'm told it's "really cute how she's introduced." But if you love your Jennifer Jareau, you can breath easy, because Meta is just filling in, and J.J. will be returning to the team when she's done baby-makin'!"- Reporting by Jennifer Godwin E!Online

Criminal Minds: Edward A. Bernero talks Hawaii 5-0

displacednewyorker — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 09:57:09 +0000

Criminal Minds News: CBS has teamed with Criminal Minds executive producer Edward Allen Bernero to develop a new version of Hawaii Five-O. The new series will focus of Chris McGarrett, a Hawaiian cop and son of Steve McGarrett, a character played in the original series by Jack Lord. The show will be updated (as will the clasic opening theme song) but Bernero insists that it won’t be a reinvention. -HWR

Nytt theme

eastsiders — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 19:42:32 +0000

Fant et nytt theme jeg måtte bytte til, er det ikke søtt? :)

Har prøvd å vaske mine hvite Converse i kveld (på pappa sin måte, det vil si i vasken med varmt vann og vaskepulver), noe som ikke hjalp i det hele tatt, de er fortsatt like møkkete. Så skal ta de i maskina for å se om det blir bedre da.
Nå skal jeg se på Criminal minds, god natt! (ja, blir en tidlig natt på meg i dag)

Mona — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 05:06:02 +0000

There has been alot of murder cases flooding the headlines lately. They were cold-blooded and grisly murders. One was the gay serial killer from Indonesia who was (thank God) caught recently. The other was a 22 year old Malaysian girl who was/is a prostitute and studying in London. She and her Vietnamese boyfriend had killed and decapitated Xie XingXing, a 23 year old student.

Sometimes, I like to look at the pictures of these murderers to see if there were any sign of remorse or capability to do evil. Sometimes, you can see it in their emotionless eyes. Sometimes, in their sinister smile. They carry a such a chilly presence around them. Sometimes, their look deceive us.

Sometimes, I like to look at the pictures of their victims after the murder. In order words, raw pictures found at the crime scene. It can be quite frightening but it is the only way to see to what extent their killers' cruelty were. Most of the time, these pictures come in black and white. I wonder if I could stand to see those in colour...

Murders come in all sorts of manners but I am always drawn to the ones with cannibalistic behaviours and those who decapitate their victims. This, I find, are the most gruesome and downright inhumane. Just pure evil. How they can bring themselves to do so, are beyond us.

I always wonder what they were feeling when they were chopping their victim's head off. XingXing - as autopsy had shown - was beheaded while she was still alive, mind you. Generally, although not all, these people are addressed as psychopaths.

You have to be out of your mind, literally, to be able to do such deeds.

Azi dimineata, in locul ala special in care iti vin cele mai bune idei, cele mai profunde ganduri, in care iti incepi viata sexuala, da, in baie, mi-a venit acest gand: nu mai este nici o emisiune tv de cultura generala de cativa ani buni, nu stiu cati, prea multi.

Si tin minte ca ma uitam la emisiunile alea, chiar imi placeau, de fapt, ne uitam la ele in familie, adica toti colocatarii. Gandu mi-a venit de la faptu ca nu am ce face acasa cand ma intorc de la job. Nu prea mai am chef de net, calculator, citit, tv, somn. Zilele trecute, singuru lucru care m-a miscat a fost Criminal Minds. Dupa el n-a mai fost nimic. Am revenit la starea de nimic de dinainte.

Si totusi, concursurile alea earu tare faine, erau si utile, erau niste castiguri frumusele si mi se pare ca aveau si un rol usor moralizator, social, de genu: uite ma, se fac bani si daca ai scoala, si destul de usor !!! Ultimu a fost "Vrei sa fii miliardar?" parca. Avea si un pic de suspans, si variante daca nu stiai despre ce e vorba in propozitie, etc. A murit, odata cu ratingurile, odata cu aparitia Otv, cred, odata cu ultima farama de bun simt din stirile tv.

Si nu cred ca vor aparea asemenea emisiuni prea curand, nu atat timp cat mogulilor media le convine sa le fie masina spalata de aurolaci la intersectie, "pazita" de tigani in parcari in centru, etc. Ca daca nu le convenea faceau ceva, ca bani si influenta au ...

Dar nesimtirea e la mare cautare si cat timp Otv va avea cel mai mare rating, toti vor dori o bucat din felia lor, restul feliilor nu prezinta interes. Cat despre concursuri de cultura generala, au cazut victime acestor criminal minds, miliardari de ...

I find that I do some of my best work under intense terror

That day worked like a dream. Ish.

Well, after a slight altercation at the DMV (DOL. Sorry, sorry) I progressed to the last day of Driver's Ed, which wasn't actually that bad except for the doughnuts that I couldn't eat that were leering at me from the front desk. *Drool* They looked so good, too. It was pretty horrible.

But other that that, it was great. I really liked my instructor (who replaced the original one [thank the lord]) who ended my last drive session by saying, "I'd let you take out the Porsche until nine-thirty, but after that you can only use the Kia." But that was my last drive and so I am done until next year, when I get to take my driving test so I can get my license. *Yay* I'm already excited, and there's eleven months to go.

Oh, and did I add that my fake tan stuff turned me orange with brown streaks? I'd told my mother that that was going to happen, but in true fictional-mom status, she completely ignored me and forced me into it anyway. Apparently, next time I need to be more careful and less messy with my slathering. There isn't going to be a next time - that's what hasn't seemed to register with her.

Since we're basically done with packing, I watched what I think was one of the best episodes of Criminal Minds I've yet seen. It may have been because I was happy already, or it may have been because they referenced Mice and Men (which was a great book) or it may have been because Prentiss, JJ, Garcia, Hotch, and Reid were so darn awesome, but... Yeah. I'm sure that no one but me cares how incredible Damaged was (Yes, it was about a double homicide, and Reid and Hotch were sort of trapped in a bulletproof room with a psychopath serial killer on death row already [see title], but it was still hilarious. Don't ask. I'm still working out the details myself) so I'll shut up now.

*Cease CM raving and commence Mythbusters raving*

The season premiere, the Shark Week Special, was absolutely incredible. Unbelievable. These guys actually built a full-sized great white shark, equipped it with thrashing gear, true-to-shark bite and teeth, and attached stop switches for eyes so that if you stabbed the eyes, it would quit shaking you about. It was quite possibly one of the coolest things I've ever seen them build, and that's coming in a close first to beat the miniature Hindenburg and the Lead Balloon.

Anyway. Enough. I'm going to talk about something that has nothing whatsoever to do with me and is of general importance.

*Fizzing Static*

Em.. Well... I seem to be a bit short on that at the moment, but I will think of something. Another day, perhaps.

Did you know that 44% of car accidents involve alcohol?

Did you know that 44% of child abductions end in a fatality within the first hour?

Did you know that 10% of Americans think that Elvis is still alive?
