Random post of random

Because I'm feeling listy & random today, I hereby present the following five factoids about my day:

1. It is so cold here right now I think I just saw a penguin ice-skate through my living room. That's probably not a good sign.

2. I just rewatched "Man in the Bear" and am now remembering why that's one of my favorite Bones episodes ever. And also why I might even have to go out on a crazy limb & declare season one my favorite in general. Yeah, I said it. Season two had a mess of fantastic episodes & great shippy moments, no doubt, but there's just something about season one that I completely adore. Especially when it involves Booth & Brennan going on field trips & hitting cannibals with bed-pans.

3. I found out today that my contract at work has been extended another six months (it'll now end in July instead of January). I was pretty confident it would happen, but it's still really nice to have it confirmed now so it won't be hanging over my head for the next month and a half.

4. My mom just called me to ask what's on tv. I asked her why she doesn't just turn on the TV Guide channel and she said, "You're better." Heh.

5. For those who haven't seen it yet, get thee to the following promo clip for Bones' Christmas episode tomorrow night:



One question for you all: WHERE IS THURSDAY & WHY IS IT NOT HERE YET? Seriously, I may have actually died of the flail for a second there, not gonna lie.

And that's pretty much it. Now I have to go and try to squeeze in a viewing of So You Think You Can Dance tonight before I get to bed so I can see who's through to the finale. (Which, speaking of: What kind of nonsense is this that there's going to be a top 6 this year instead of a top 4? My whole world is askew, I tells ya.)

Yeah Season One of Bones may be my favorite for some reason. I love s2 because it had the perfect blend of romance and casefile, but for some reason s1 is just so fantastic, I think it's how new the characters are, with Booth and Brennan still mostly at ends. And Booth had his sidepart.

I was thinking along those same lines too. Season 2 probably had some of the best overall episodes in terms of sheer quality, but season one is closer to my heart. I love how new the characters are, love their interactions with each other, love the casefiles, & love the way the whole thing is filmed. I don't know if they used a different group of directors back then, but they were always using these crazy wide shots & interesting angles for everything & it was always so ~pretty~, you know what I mean?

Also, I agree about the side-part. Hee. And Brennan's outfits were fantastic back then as well! It's like she hadn't learned how to dress like a fancy, famous author yet & was always pairing funky boots with skirts & massively cleavage-y shirts & what-not. Good times, good times.
