Where I get my bitch on.

[hackthis_archive]

Some people get their freak on, today, I get my bitch on.


1. Stargate Atlantis. I don't get the appeal. I've tried, repeatedly. It bored me to tears. That's not my beef though, because I have my most beloved Battlestar Galactica. What is killing me is that everyone, and I do mean pretty much every fucking person I know, is loving this show with an unholy passion, and they're turning that unholy passion into stories that I can't read! lyra_sena wrote fucking guitar porn! rageprufrock has some crazy series about strippers (that is what that's about, yeah? I'm only going off the title). seperis is writing, like, assassin-fic or something. And here I am with nothing! That sucks. But you'll never get me to that show, so.

2. Speaking of shows I don't fancy, Firefly is another one. This isn't me telling people that they can't be all happy about Serenity, since apparently if SGA isn't your show, this one is. I mean everyone has their space show, and even ethrosdemon likes this one (or maybe that's just Nathan Fillion's bum), but just, no. I do think Gina Torres rocks, but that's probably because she's married to Laurence Fishburne.

3. And while we're on the topic of things that are boring me to tears – this season of Lost sucks "hairy dog bollocks" as I told estrella30. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and this one is mine. Last season was fast paced, every moment resulting in fifty different consequences. 44 days were covered in 22 episodes. This season we are four episodes in and still on the same fucking day. Nothing is fucking happening on this show, people; it's boring as hell. They have 44 potential people to use, why they hell aren't they addressing them? Stop spreading your legs for everyone, JJ, and focus on the people at home. Bringing in new characters is not the way to solve your issues. He pulled this same shit on Alias, and it's so not necessary.

Uh, yeah, that's pretty much it for me today. Thanks to everyone for answering my iPod questions. I'm off to search for something of interest to read that's not SGA.


ETA: I should point out that there are shows that I do love: Kichen Confidential, Grey's Anatomy, Nip/Tuck, Made and What Not to Wear. Also, obviously Entourage and Battlestar Galactica, but they're on hiatus right now.

What Not To Wear! Are you more of Suzannah and Trinny person or Stacy and Clinton? I love both pairs equally though the BBC pair tend to personalize more - saying "my arms are crap, yours are so much better!" and the like.

Though with my budget, watching too many episodes makes me look at what I can afford to replace in my wardrobe and despair.

[insert much squeeing here] Another WNTW afficionado! As for preferences, you know I've been watching Trinny and Susannah from day one, I didn't even *know* there was an American version until this year, and then I had a surplus of fashion goodness. I do think that T&S can be much more brutal, but they do always do their best, sometimes I don't quite know why Clinton and Stacey let their subjects leave dressing the way they do. In their defense, I only really thought that once, but still. Once is enough! Watching too many episodes will may you throw out your entire wardrobe, much like Sex and the City.

Seriously, I wake up every morning and think, this outfit would look bad in the 360. Too boxy! What am I doing? But I lack $5k to spend on clothes in one fell swoop, so.

I have to say, I just saw an episode where T&S were lamenting that they'd let the changeover woman get away with so much and that they really hadn't gotten through to her ... Sometimes, on either show, the person is not ready for change and you do what you can.

I have a slight, very slight preference for the American version because it's longer and you get Nick and Carmindy. Carmindy's new whoring for Crest White Strips drives me batty, but she is so sweet and always sounds so sincere and I love her make-up 95% of the time that she does, so her plus Nick is really fun.
