hopelessly...I'll love you endlessly...

Well, today it became official. Supernatural got picked up for next season!!!! 22 all new episodes, baby!!! And to top it off, Veronica Mars was cancelled. Now I know this might offend some of my readers - actually I don't know that, but I thought I would at least be a bit courteous since I am about to bask in the joy of a shows demise - but this was the best news I heard today. You see, I love VM andI mean that whole-heartedly. But you must understand that the VM I love lasted only a season. Sure I have watched the subsequent 2 years, but that was a different VM...I don't really like that Veronica. She was kind of a bitch a lot of the time...
I will say that I think the CW handled the whole cancellation quite crappy. If you are going to cancel the program...cancel the program. Don't do a pr dance in hopes of not pissing off a vocal crowd...a crowd that is still pissed about the whole Everwood/7th Heaven debacle last spring.
However, as I said before, VM has been dead for quite some time and I look forward to not having to watch it since I have stayed ever faithful. If only they could have done a Logan spinoff that somehow featured Weevil, Mac, Wallace, Keith & Cliff I would have been happy, but alas that isn't meant to be. Here's hoping some of those faces pop up again on the small screen in the near future!!

I've been too long, I'm glad to be back!!

Ok...I know it has been quite a while since I have blogged, but hey, I have been jetting all over the west coast. So, in order to make up for it, I have compiled a list of thoughts, questions, and tips I have discovered over the last 3 weeks. (Oh and in case you are worried, my daily blog pic will be back tomorrow. I just couldn't find an appropriate one for today's entry!)

• It turns out that even though I hate birds (hey I got pooped on once and it was really traumatic...just ask ChickLit...she was there!), I still can’t handle watching birds fall from the sky onto the pavement and get run-over. Apparently I do have some compassion left!
• Sci-Fi Conventions are Awesome!!
• Never visit a hospital hungry...after a couple of hours, hospital cuisine starts to look good!
• Will I ever not be broke?
• I have a new fern named Bernadette. Yes I name plants...they really do live longer that way!
• Damn the CW for creating inner conflict for me once again!
• I have figured out what is wrong with the US Federal Government - no one picks up the phone.
• The Powers That Be better not cancel Supernatural...all I can say is that it won't be pretty!!
• 12-14 hour work days are not fun.
• Apollo is cute in person, but shorter than I thought; Starbuck is a lot more girly...
• Travel Tip #1: Always obtain a rental car from a state you do not live in. That way when you drive like a crazed maniac in Canada, it will be blamed on someone else...like Oregon! I mean we all know about those insane Oregonian drivers...
• Tell me again why No one does comedy like the Brits. If you haven't seen Hot Fuzz yet...drop what you are doing and go. Go Now! I can wait. My blog will be here when you get back! *starts humming The Girl From Ipanema*
• The staff working for Congressional members are never at their desk and never ever answer email or voicemail!
• Apparently I am more of a Trekker than I thought. However, I still find people in costume creepy.
• So while the Prison Break finale was completely preposterous, I have to say...I can't wait until next season!
• Travel Tip #2: When traveling in Canada or Britain, B&B’s are the way to go!!
• I love tea.
• Chekov is kind of a cranky old guy.
• Travel Tip #3: Burbank airport is truly the airport time forgot!
• Once you have been in an incarnation of Star Trek, you have it made...unless you resent being on Star Trek. Then you are simply screwed for all eternity.
• The awesomeness of flower vending machines is immeasurable...I mean it is a spinning diner pie case that has flowers for sale!!!
• Did I mention Sci-Fi Conventions are Totally Awesome!!
• You don't believe me about the whole B&B thing...I have two words for you: Fresh Scones!
• Please let the Powers That Be cancel Veronica Mars. I don't want to watch anymore, but I lack the willpower to do so on my own.
• No matter what various people said, I still think Avery Brooks is an ass...a pompous ass!
  
• Tell me, how did I get mixed up in dealing with animal vaccines again?
• Travel Tip #4: Flying in high winds is not fun and should be avoided as much as possible. If you do have to fly in high winds, make sure you know where the air sickness bag is. Trust me...
• Is it pathetic that I was genuinely happy to recieve flowers on Administrative Professionals Day?
• I can die happy...Tom Paris used the term 'lizard babies'. Perhaps the worse ep in the history of Star Trek actually brought some good! All I can say is it is about time!!
• TVGuide did a whole page article about Supernaturalin this week's magizine...does that mean it is coming back next year? (And doesn't El Deano look a lot like Wentworth Miller in that pic? Ok...maybe that is just me!)
• Travel Tip #5: Travel with people who have money. It just makes everything better!
• In case you missed it, Sci-Fi Conventions are Frakkin’ Awesome!!

And the beat goes on...

The Mad Madam M has run away with the circus (don't worry she'll be back next week), but I promised to put in an appearance over here and keep you entertained while she's gone. Today, I bring you a VidSpam of Veronica Mars songs. Enjoy!

Creepy ass, yet funny video with these boots are made for walking. Have fun with this one.



And for those of us who have a love/hate relationship with the annoying, tiny blonde one.



Veronica Mars in rewind mode. It's kinda creepy though to watch people go backward so much. I got a little bit sea sick.

As the days keep turning into night...

So, I hate to disappoint, but today's blog entry will not feature an insightful, and yet thoroughly snarky, review of last night's Veronica Mars ep. You see...I can't make up my mind on whether I liked the ep or not. I know what you are thinking, "What do you mean you don't have an opinion on a tellie program? You always have an opinion? Something is terribly wrong!" or you are rejoicing in the fact that I might have actually 'gotten a life' after avoiding the inevitable for so long. (Or perhaps you have no thought on the subject and simply wandered over to this blog in hopes of stumbling upon some articulate discussion of Shaun of the Dead.)

So instead, here are a couple of thoughts about last week's Thanksgiving inspired O.C. ep.!! I liked the ep quite a bit. Here's hoping that this is the turning point and soon I will forget about the travesty that was Season 3. (Ok...maybe not forget, but at least move on!) Anyway, I have to say that I LOVED the Battlestar Galactica reference/discussion after Seth and Summer bring home a dozen or so homless guys for dinner (apparently the soup kitchen didn't need more volunteers) and Kirsten demands he keeps them occupied!

Seth: Ok...who here has not seen Battlestar Galactica Season 1?
[Less than half of the dozen homeless guys in the room raise their hand. See even homeless people find a way to watch Sci-Fi on Friday nights. Why are they considering changing the timeslot? Explain it to me, Lucy! I just don't get it. Now back to the show!]
Homless guy: I missed the season finale!
Seth: Get ready to have your mind blown! In this version Starbuck is a woman!!

First Veronica Mars and now The O. C.. I love it when I am with the 'cool' people! I mean, it happens so infrequently! (Hey...geek chic is 'In' at the moment!!) Besides cool pop culture references, Summer and Julie finally started dealing with their grief; Sandy got a cool new nickname: Crazy Eyebrows Man; Taylor keeps getting funnier and funnier; my random joke about Grey's Anatomy's Seattle Grace (Ask ChickLit! I made the funny comment long before it made it on the show!); oh and the world's ugliest dog! I won't go into my nickpics, but I thought I would end with a short excerpt from Television Without Pity's review of the ep. I have to confess, I thought the same thing about Ryan!!

"It's like he's turning into an island," Kirsten says. 'Turning into?' Hasn't Ryan always been an island, really? A peninsula at the very least.
