1) The O.C. is a Jewish show, did you know this? ;) I love the celebration of all the Jewish holidays I have to say; it’s a refreshing change on television. Also, I like the potential pairing of Jimmy and Hailey and admit I grinned at everybody around the table with their yarmulkes, but I need to just stab Marissa and be done with it. There is no way she was wearing Teresa's dress! Teresa has a chest! *has brain haemorrage* I heart Teresa and Eddie. Ryan and Marissa need to go.

serialkarma pointed out that neither Julie or Marissa should ever ever wear orange again. Also, um, we all know what’s going to happen in a few weeks. Let’s not fake. Luke, sweetie, no woman is worth getting in a car wreck over. Really. Sigh.

2) I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Aqualung’s ‘Brighter than Sunshine’ is a fucking gorgeous song. Get your hands on this song, now.

3)

plum_evil is trying to imply that Sark is not a quality boyfriend. I whole-heartedly disagree. What’s a relationship without a little fear of being wacked in your sleep? Just kidding

4) Subsequent to the unveiling of these photographs

circe_tigana and I began discussing trains, stations and wooly hats in generally. Naturally, this spawned fic and Circe’s story is a gorgeous and angst-filled train ride (just the way I like’em) that you’ll have to read twice for the full impact.

5) No story from me today. See yesterday’s crack!fic if this stresses you.

Eddie rocks, and that's not just my obsession with Eric Balfour talking.

Julie and Caleb should get married and adopt Teresa and Eddie. I have no idea why, but it would make me happy.

You are a twisted, twisted girl.

And that, my dear, is EXACTLY why you love me.

Luke, sweetie, no woman is worth getting in a car wreck over. Really. Sigh.
That isn't it at all. He is heartbroken over Ryan, not some woman. The boy has been in love with Ryan since episode 2.

*dies laughing*

Next on the OC -- The Nana vs. Godzilla!

Oh, thanks for the plug. *snerk* I had to add in a proviso before a mob descended upon me. Now there's just more Sark to play with, that's all. *g*

I see no bad here.

I totally meant to say this and forgot. Yes. Yes, yes, what a lovely change. Also, Adam Brody's hair under a kippah is a sight not to be missed.

Adam Brody has good hair, I have to say.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - if we could just arrange for Marissa to have a nice yachting accident, everyone would be a lot happier. Did you see, there was a moment before she and Ryan left the party when he half-smiled at her, looked like he was happy to be with her and everything - and I SWEAR that's the first time I"ve ever seen him smile when he's with her EVER. Unlike when he's with Seth when he smiles all the time I'm just sayin'.

Favorite moment (along with being gathered around the table for the seder) was Seth! all curled up on Ryan's bed omg! love. And his "you can't have the precious, it's mine!" freak-out on waking up cracked me the fuck up.

My OC-love is still your fault (though I am no longer bitter), so you get to hear the minutae of my reactions. *g*

Also, I meant to tell you yesterday - OMG CRACKFIC HOLY SHIT. It fucking rocked. Marshall's voice? Really just had me dying here (and I'm at work, naturally). The Marshall and Draco interaction was just brilliant... OMG and the Viggo!! Fucking fantastic. So, so good. Thanks.

That brought me endless amusement; I know he's been reading LOTR fan fiction. He dreams about being Sam to Ryan's Frodo. I know this. ;)

Oh, dude *both* Ryan and Marissa worked my nerves something *fierce* last night. I hated the way Ryan kept acting like he had some authority to keep telling the other characters what to do; it thrilled me to pieces when both Julie *and* Teresa put him in his place (*especially* Julie when Ryan pulled a Will Turner on her; yeah, right, Ryan, I'm so sure you're more concerned THAN MARISSA'S PARENT about her whereabouts and well-being). And Marissa's drama queen antics are completely OTT even by 17-year-old girl standards, particularly the part where she runs away to indefinitely pester SOMEONE SHE'S NOT EVEN FRIENDS WITH.

Also? While I totally concede that Julie showed an *extreme* lack of good judgment in getting involved with Luke, I don't care for the way the show seems to want to suggest that she's evil or bad for thinking that maybe Marissa needs a more structured therapeutic environment than the one she's currently in. Marissa *isn't* stable; neither Julie nor Jimmy seems particularly able to reach her and the slightest provocation sends her off on these potentially very self-destructive tangents (I mean, what if she *hadn't* had Teresa to run to, you know? She didn't seem interested in turning to her *actual* best friend - Summer - so, like, where would she have gone when she took off like that if some small voice inside hadn't been able to say, "Maybe Teresa will put up with your dumbass for a bit"?). Institutionalization might be taking it *too* far, but it's not completely unreasonable for Julie to broach it as a possible alternative if Marissa doesn't stop *doing crazy shit* every time she gets the slightest bit upset about something.

*waves hands* I just wanted to pop both of them last night. I get it that Ryan's got a 'fixer' type personality, but he's not Marissa's parent or guardian and while I would have totally expected her to get her ass in the car had *Jimmy* showed up to get her, I couldn't understand when or where Ryan got the idea that he was the boss of her (*especially* since Marissa *did* try to call to tell him she was okay, even if not to tell him where she was; it's not her fault Seth was asleep when she did). Marissa going off half-cocked like the Wronged Wife didn't endear her to me either. Yeah, what Julie did was totally skeevy and I can totally sympathize with Marissa feeling like her brain needs bleaching, but last time I checked, Luke and Marissa hadn't been dating *in months* and if I'm being totally, brutally honest? Marissa no longer has *any say* in who Luke is or isn't doing.

*oggles* Yes! That is exactly what I was thinking, only I wasn't able to say it. Thank you!

/random post out

*dies*

Did they upset you, sweetie? I'm thinking the answer is 'yes'. Not that I'm not right there with you, because I totally am. At Marissa's age I completely understand the need to overdramatize everything and think the world is against you, but there's melodrama and then there's just impossibly over the top, even for someone that age. Josh needs to reign her in. As for Ryan playing Mr Fix-it, that's clearly some leftover issues from his mother and life in Chino, but considering how self-sufficent Teresa is (if you exclude the whole running off to Newport thing anyway), I'm surprised she didn't knock some sense into him at some point.

*cries* LUKE! My poor Luke! And I love my Jewish show, I really do. All the Cohens had me loving them last night. And of course, POOR LUKE!!!!

I see you're going to take a year on my beta. I will go for a jog and listen to Marshall.

passover is the coolest. holiday. evah.

really wanting to call seth 'sethehlah' now.

i was noticing a serious pattern of really bad hair this ep, particularly julie's and ryan's. julie just looked like crap.

your thoughts on marissa and "theresa's" dress are mine.

and d00d!!! elbow!!! that and damien rice have been ruling my cd player for a couple of weeks now. there's something so uplifting about thousands of people singing "we still believe in love, so fuck you."

I have been in adoration with Elbow since they had no record deal. Guy is my scruffy wooly mammoth toyboy, and his voice just, whooooo.

It’s ass to the wall day, people.
