I had an exam this afternoon, so to reward myself I watched a lot of television on the actual television (not just the internet - I know, Shocking). There was a new House episode and a new NCIS tonight and I really enjoyed both of them.
The odd thing was that both had to do with father issues for the main character. House also had Wilson issues, and Gibbs hometown issues, but it was weird that the episodes were so similar in the initial premise.
Of course now I want to read a fanfic about why Gibbs didn't want Tony to meet his father (beyond the fact that Tony is annoying and nosy even at the best of times). It was one of those episodes that felt like they didn't have enough time to properly tell the whole story, so they just left some bits out. On the up-side, because it's NCIS they actually kept a lot of the character development. But I want MORE dammit! More.
I mean, I'm not demanding or anything.

Sep. 25th, 2007 03:15 pmLife is busy. I've got tons of school-work going on, although nothing in particular, just the usual bits. And I just found out that we get Global on the rabbit ears which means that I can watch Heroes and NCIS and House as they come out on the actual TV. I haven't been able to do that in a while so that's really cool! Plus I'm waiting with baited breath for my Stargate season 10 DVDs to arrive, since they are apparently in the mail right now! I am so excited about this that I may burst! (And possibly miss out on the next few readings I'll have to do after they arrive ... I mean, I'm a good student...) I haven't seen the last half of the season yet and I really want to!
Also my uncle just added me on Facebook, which was kinda weird, but he's a really cool guy so I added him back even though I had a moment of worry since most of the picture of me are from parties where I have ... er ... shall we say "imbibed"? I think we shall. (And here we see the humiliating aspect of Facebook for those of University age, our reunions are going to be so embarrassing.) Anyway now his oldest daughter has added me as well. And she's probably twelve or thirteen by now, but in my head she'll always be younger until she's actually an adult. So I don't know whether or not I should add her. On the one hand, I like having amiable relations with the family, on the other hand I don't really want her to see all the obviously drunk pictures of me... (strangely enough I'm not sure I'd have this kind of worry about her younger brother... maybe it's because I like him more?). Anyway do you guys have any thoughts?

So the past while I've been spending my time watching cool TV with my brother. J's great for my TV watching habits because though he's not as into it as I am he's good at suggesting shows that I might like (for example Stargate) and he takes advantage of my obsessions to be able to see the shows that he likes whenever we're in the same city. It's almost assured that whenever I go visiting him at his place, or he comes to mine that sooner or later he'll ask, "So, do you have any more House episodes that I haven't seen?" or "What about NCIS?" And then we'll watch whatever new episodes I have downloaded, laugh at mostly the same bits and have a good time. So here's a bunch of my reactions to all the things that I've been watching lately (mostly with J, but not all of them). There will be mild spoilers in these musings.
( House M.D. )
( NCIS )
( Supernatural )
( Rome )
( Scrubs )
( due South )
So yeah, I like my tv. Actually it's really just stories that I have ridiculous love for. And it's so easy to get good TV these days. It's amazing. I love DVDs. Scarily enough there are actually other shows that I could mention (like Torchwood, and Dr Who and also how much I want more Jeeves and Wooster) but I think this might be enough insanity for the day.
(And if you;re thinking about watching any of these shows I highly recommend them! I bet you couldn't figure that one out on your own. :P)

Thank you Friend's List
Sep. 20th, 2006 10:07 amIt turns out that I can always rely on you to tell me when I should be downloading new episodes of the shows I love. All I have to do is wake up in the morning and read my friend's list in order to remind me that hey, House played last night, or apparently last night was also the first episode of NCIS season 4!
Anyway, thanks all. Much love and not kisses because I'm sick, but mental kisses. Yes.
Also the Rugby Rookie party did not kill me, nor am I especially hungover, just tired and slightly dehydrated. I'll write a more detailed post later, but right now I'm going to shower, remove the marker from my arms and face and then do my homework for the two classes I have this afternoon.

On the TV front
Sep. 9th, 2006 06:36 pmI watched the House season premier the other day ( and )
And I also downloaded Yesterday's Stargate Atlantis ( 3.08 McKay and Mrs. Miller )
The SG-1 episode from last night is still downloading. Just s l o w ly. It's currently at 28.7% and I kinda want to give it a kick in the pants, but I don't want it to shun me either. Maybe I'll just watch some old school stuff tonight instead.
