A few notes:

1. American Idol: I don't think I've said this before, but--Blake, Jordin, and Melinda need to be final three, seriously. Y'ALL MAKE THE SANJAYA MESS STOP. IT IS NO LONGER FUNNY.

2. Prison Break: ...what the hell. This is more of a "what the hell" than last season's finale. More detail later, perhaps.

3. I am fighting the temptation to reread Lamb, as Easter is Sunday. I'm already almost done with Bloodsucking Fiends and I'm convinced that Christopher Moore is awesome and hilarious. The Emperor of San Francisco (and Bummer and Lazarus) rule.

4. I missed pretty much all of House last night because we got hit by a major storm and for a moment there there was talk of a tornado being spotted. So I'm pretty much freaking out and my dad's all, "I think we need to go to the safe room," and Pepper was squirming away from me, and Dad told me to leave her, and I just looked at him like he was crazy. I worry that I am turning into one of Those Pet Owners. I almost bought her a puppy polo shirt at Old Navy.

5. Speaking of Pepper: she graduated from her training class! Yay puppy!

News on the NaNo: I'm going to keep writing it, but just not in a linear fashion. I can catch up better this way. I hope. [crosses fingers] And hey! No more plodding through exposition (for now, at least).

Prison Break WINS this week. Michael/Good Doctor Sara forever. Heroes: I KNEW IT (re: Micah). Claire is awesome. And Hiro is still the best. Nathan, on the other hand? Can burn.

So right now, I really want some Campbell's Chunky Chicken and Egg Noodle Soup. Why didn't I get two when I went to the store earlier? And in addition to that, I want a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. I totally know how to make grilled ham and cheese sandwiches, and good ones. Except they're infinately better with cambert. God, I love French cheese, but it's so freaking much.

So I'm making Supernatural icons, and while perusing screencaps, I am constantly amazed at all of the brilliant and funny faces that Jensen Ackles makes. Like this one right here--so totally one of the many reasons why "Phantom Traveller" is one of my favorite episodes. It makes me break into peals of giggles. And then there's the this face, and this face. But then he just also does some really great looks. Oh, and the smile.

I saw something at indilime's journal, a poll asking which set of TV brothers is better, the Winchesters or the brothers Schofield/Burrows (Michael and Lincoln from Prison Break). I can't decide, but dude, crossover needs to be written.

Last week in the Paper Journal, I wrote that time feels odd to me now. Like, when I was little, I remember an hour seeming like an eternity, and now it feels like nothing. This is what I will call the Time Out Effect. Remember having to sit in time out for five minutes at recess and it seeming like SO LONG? God, I remember once having to sit in time out for like, fifteen minutes to a half hour for something that I don't even remember and I'm sure someone else provoked me--because really, I am a nonconfrontational semi-adult and I was a nonconfrontational kid. That time felt like the better part of forever. But years still feel like such a long time to me.

I have an account at Vox (AM NOT JUMPING SHIP. STOP. AM STAYING AT LJ. STOP. TRYING NEW THINGS. STOP. NEED TO STOP PRETENDING THIS IS TELEGRAM. STOP.): viewparadise, because I had "Pure Imagination" on the brain. This also means I've got five invites, so if you want to give it a try, respond with an e-mail address and I'll hook you up. Conversely, I still have plenty of GMail invites, and until Google decides to offer money for not redeeming them, I'm more than willing to dole them out.

Need to go to bed. Oy.

( Late Prison Break ramblings. )

I seriously think I should've went to church yesterday. I might've been spared from the crap parts of the day if so. Good grief.

It's getting closer to new TV season time, which means minor spoilers might be leaking. And I've caught wind of some possible casting news for Lost that is making me geek out like I haven't geeked out in a while. ( Is it October yet?! Cut for casting spoilers plus regular spoilers. )

I'm in a good mood--I'm even looking up Prison Break spoilers. I'm debating on whether or not to look at Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End spoilers, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Speaking of Pirates: it's nice to know I'm not the only one who's wondering (or convinced) that it is going to be the '00s equivalent to Star Wars.

I just realized recently why I prefer LJ and GJ over other blog hosts: the LJ-cut. It's such a handy, neat tool.

Wow, apparently I've posted over 1900 entries in this journal! Whoa.

I still have heard no news about Prison Break shooting yet. I mean, I heard that filming for the second season was supposed to have started in mid-June, and... nothing. I would've thought that at least FOX would've had something to say about this, you know? And at last check, there's no news about spots for extras either. I'm not going to go a-Wentworth stalking, but come on--a girl wants to know these things!

I saw part of the Dawson's Creek episode when they were in detention--in the first season. Dude. James Van Der Beek did have a big forehead, didn't he? I was reminded of how I used to hate Jen (irrationally) and didn't really like Michelle Williams, and of how I only liked Joey and Dawson together because Dawson was pretensious and Joey was a complete bore. I can't watch Katie Holmes in anything anymore without being severely weirded out, so when Joey blurts out all shaky-voiced like, "When did everyone become obsessed with SEX?!", I felt... I don't know, very odd. Oh, Joey Potter. And now I like Michelle Williams, so I wasn't all booing at my TV screen whenever Jen was on the way I would have in the past.

Josh Jackson, on the other hand, is still my "now, always and forever, amen" crush. I have been attracted to him in some way, shape, or form since I was like, eight and the first Mighty Ducks movie was out. To this day, I still wonder how many girls actually originally tuned into Dawson's because of him.

I think I actually need to watch the first season, as I never did back in the day. I only caught on with the first season finale, when Dawson and Joey kiss, and I was like, "WHOOHOO!", and then I saw pretty much all of the second season and fell in love with Pacey and Andie. Stopped watching in the third season because the Pacey/Andie was over. I almost watched the series finale because I was hoping Andie would show up or something, but forgot and was disappointed with the outcome.

I still don't know why I disliked Joey so much. I mean, I didn't dislike her; I just thought she was boring as all get-out. And I used to think Jen was a massive skank, and the only girl I really liked was Andie. And then of course there was Abby, but she drowned, and she was the head skank of Capeside, so she didn't count at all.

...oh, I just remembered that The N is going to start showing DC soon. O SNAP.

What is it with me and the late '90s nostalgia lately? Damn. The new TV season should start or I should find some new shows to watch (or I should just get out more, besides going to work) so that I'll stop thinking about 1996-1999.

DUDE. The House finale looks wicked!

Cool news: starting in June, Prison Break will start filming the show's second season in Dallas. I can barely contain my squealiness over this.

Re: American Idol. Still love Katharine, don't know if I want her to win. Love Elliott, because he sings the more obscure R&B songs that I love (the song Paula picked for him is one of my favorites!). I like Taylor and thought he killed on "Try a Little Tenderness". Much as I love Katharine, I have a feeling she won't make Final 2.

The library fines that I thought I had? GONE, thank God. I TOLD them I'd turned those books back in!

Oh my God, oh my God, Prison Break!

( :O )

Fandom Lover Meme. Uhhh. I haven't done one of these in a while, so yeah.

Oh! I got this shirt the other day (only in navy blue and white). According to the style status quo, I shouldn't wear horizontal stripes (don't want the human beach ball effect), but... I do like this shirt and another one I have.

HOLY PRISON BREAK PREVIEW PEOPLE!

It needs to be March like, now.
