There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief

So, I've got a few things I wanted to update about tonight. We'll just go through 'em one at a time:

1. I meant to post about this yesterday, but forgot because of my fail brain this week. Frak. Well, better late than never, right?



I hope you had a great one, sweetie! I'm assuming it was full of much Adama/Roslin & Mulder/Scully shipping. You are quickly turning into a mini-me (except probably taller). Ha. :-)

2. Speaking of BSG, I had the most ridic idea ever tonight and knew you guys would appreciate it. Try & tell me this wouldn't be hilariously brilliant: a BSG crack!vid set to the theme song of ~Gilligan's Island~. YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT. Three hour tour, bitches! *lulz forever* Please someone make this happen.

3. So I'm sure you all remember the giant picspam I did a while back for the 51 things BSG, XF, Buffy, Angel, Bones, & Dollhouse had in common, right? Well, I thought of another thing I can add to the list tonight. ( Here's number 52: I'm on a boat, bitch! )

4. How many of you guys are watching Amazing Race this season? I have a few words I'd like to share with the stupid bitchass homophobe Miss California if you all don't mind:

Dear "the Iraq & such as",

I know you don't understand why "those lesbians" are "so mean" to you, and make fun of you for your tiara. Here's the deal. Maybe, just maybe, it could be because of your ASSHOLE comments about same-sex marriage. JUST A THOUGHT. Kindly fuck off & die.

P.S. I laughed & laughed when you guys forgot your coconut & had to go back. Please keep making mistakes like that. IT GIVES ME SUCH JOY IN LIFE.

Love,
Rachael.

(also: GO COWBOYS!)

5. From what bsg_stardust told me, it looks like we're all set to go for the XF rewatch and should be starting it with the first two episodes ("Pilot" and "Deep Throat"<---*twelve-year-old snicker*) around the end of this week. Most likely I'll do a post to include a few of my thoughts as well as hers, and then you crazy lot can jump in and comment & we'll have us a gay ole time of XF shenanigans. From that point on we'll do our best to maintain a schedule of about 1 to 2 eps a week, but we'll have to play it by ear obviously based on our schedules. Get ready for super random flail, people, because I rewatched a few s1 episodes the other night in preparation (y'know, to get in the mood, heh), and had forgotten the type of shit that gets me goin' when it comes to XF. "Mulder's hands are so pretty!" "Lulz, early '90s ATMs, haha!" "WTF IS UP WITH THOSE TIGHTS, NOOOOO SCULLY." "Oh, Mulder, YOU JUST GOT SERVED BY THE MUTHAFUCKIN' EYEBROW, WHAT UP!" And so on. Hee. So uh yeah, just brace yourselves now.

6. Speaking of TV flail, I feel so bad that I never finished my Dollhouse or BSG season 4.5 recapping during the tv hiatus like I'd planned. In my defense though, my real life sort of blew up in my face as you guys know all too well, so I'm kind of just glad I managed to stay even remotely in one piece during all of it. Still, I definitely plan to get back to the BSG recapping eventually (that's a for sure thing), so I wanted to make that clear. I'm not sure if I will end up recapping the last few eps of Dollhouse though. That one we'll just have to see about. But if you guys care about me finishing up the Dollhouse stuff, let me know and I'll make sure I get back to it too. Otherwise I'll just put it on a "maybe" list & get to it if I feel like it & have time later on. Most likely the BSG recaps will just come periodically over the next few months, in between the XF rewatch posts & Bones posts and so on. And if no one cares that's cool too, hee. But I still care, so I'm going to get back to them regardless. I just felt like giving a status update about it because I'm nerdy like that. And for those who might care, trust that the next BSG recap will totes be picspammy because it'll be for "Blood on the Scales." Which is partly why I feel so guilty for having gone so long not getting to it. Because seriously, WTF has caused me to wait so long to picspam the fuckin' "I AM COMING FOR ALL OF YOU" scene?! WHO AM I?

7. Remember my recent money-savin' mojo? Happy to say it's still in effect. I got my imitrex refilled last night & managed to convince them to match Costco's price again, even though I found out they're only supposed to do that if the pharmacy is within 5 miles (which they're not). That saved me over $150. Yeah, baby! *high-fives universe*

8. Except the universe unfortunately gets followed up with a *bitchslap* after its high-five, because my sister and I haven't talked since Sunday, which is just pissing me the hell off. I TOLD HER months ago I didn't want to talk to her about her problems with him anymore, and she said she was okay with that. Why is she all of a sudden not accepting it now and making me the bad guy for it? This is really not something I need to be dealing with right now at all.

9. ( In other news, I did return to work on Monday and talked to my boss. )

10. ( Lastly, I thought I'd let you guys know how the Topamax is working so far. )

For my Vid of the Day today, I figured I'd run with the "I'm on a ship boat, bitch!" theme I set above and post this vid by alltimemcfly. *Oh Trekkies, ILU.* (P.S. For the record, this vid is also what made me think of the Gilligan's Island idea, hee. It came to mind for me when I was on the hunt to see if someone had done a BSG vid for T-Payne's "I'm on a Boat," which I'm shocked & appalled to find has not been made yet either. What the hell, yo!)

Excuse me while I ramble about Bones for a minute, will you?:

I've never been more glad to be staying away from major spoilers than I am right now, based on the level of ZOMG!-ness that I seem to be sensing in the fandom at the moment. Then again, Bones fans tend to be just a little dramatic. Hee. (said with love! But SERIOUSLY) So if any of you know the details of whatever it is David Boreanaz said in that article that's floating around, do not even *think* of spilling the beans to me (even to tell me whether the fan response is more positive or negative, because I don't even really know that. I just know there's some huge reactions going on & people are basically like hyperventilating in both directions, heh) or I will stab you in the neck, Kara Thrace-style.

However, that being said, I am crazy-excited for the 100th episode based on the spoiler-free review I read from one blogger who'd seen it already and who said that watching it felt like "opening up your Christmas presents" as a kid (it was a really glowing review, for real. So if it ends up just being mediocre or even bad, I'm going to be frakking pissed. Haha). So whatever it is that DB said that seems to have everyone flipping out, I don't even want to know. Because in my experience whatever the cast of that show says--whether it's positive *or* negative--it usually just gets the fans riled up for nothing and ends up disappointing people in the end. So I'll stick with staying mostly in the dark except for mild spoilers like peeks at episode stills & such, and I think I'll be a happier & less stressed fan for it. No failnale for me this year, yo! You're not gonna trick me two years in a row, Hart!

Speaking of episode stills though, remember the episode I mentioned that'll be coming up in two weeks, directly after the 100th? And what I predicted would (and wanted to see) happen? Yeah, well, a few episode stills for that episode came out today and I can't resist sharing two of them now so I can show off my mad psychic skillz. And of course to flail, because AHHHHH. YES. Heh.

(P.S. obvious spoiler warning is obvious: only click this cut if you don't mind being mildly spoiled for the general plotline of this episode)

( Did I call this shit or WHAT )

Okay, I'm done with the capslock now. Ha. I'm just a bit excited about this show returning to my tv at the moment, okay? Hey, I warned you things were gonna get flaily 'round here so don't act like you're surprised.

For the record though, as much as I'm excited for Bones to be returning in general, I'm not all that revved up for tomorrow night's episode by itself really. It doesn't sound like it's anything all that amazing, certainly not compared to the 100th episode next week at least, or the fanfic-y fun coming up the week after. But still, I'm totally happy to have my little show back overall. It's not a perfect show anymore, and I'm the first to admit it was at its absolute best in its first two seasons, but I still love it, it entertains the hell out of me, and I miss my B/B & squints, man. After two months with it being gone, I'm more than ready to see it come back. Afterall, it's been way too long since I've been able to debate ED's fake non-existent pregnancy with keenai or perv out over Brennan's cleavage or flail over Bones & Booth or laugh at Cam. So yes, WELCOME BACK, SHOW. (Still, to those of you on my flist who are in that "I'm excited but scared at the same time" place with the show in regards to where the season is going? I totally feel you. I'm kinda right there with you guys, honestly. But something about the 5th season has just made me lighten up about the show so much more, I don't know (except when I'm threatening Hart Hanson like I did above, haha. But I'm mostly pretty chill about it lately!). I just want to see where it goes & hope for the best. I guess we'll just have to wait & see, right?)

Thank you for your time, fangirls. We will now return you to your regularly scheduled non-Bones rambling.

. . .Except I didn't really have much else to write about tonight. Heh. I did want to say though that at least my head didn't hurt as bad today as it did the rest of the week! So that's great. Of course that's totally relative, because it still hurts some, it's just that it wasn't as bad all day as it had been yesterday or Monday. But hey, every bit of improvement counts. My eyes are still super sensitive & hurt-y though. But I'm hoping that goes away with the migraine, and considering the migraine is still lingering there's a good chance it will. I just hope it's not some weird side effect from the Topamax though, because I asked my coworker who's taking it if she'd had any weird eye-stuff and she was like, "everything's bright! Also, I'm tingly now like you. Thanks for jinxing me." and I was like, "crap." Heh. We're totally bonding over our side effects though, ha. WEIRDEST DRUG EVER. But even if it is a side effect it still might go away anyway, because side effects can fade too. Which brings me to a question I have: juliedarling, if you're reading this, can you let me know if you've experienced any eye-related side effects while taking it, and whether any of the side effects you have experienced in general have diminished over time?

(as a totally random aside, and I do mean random: The song on my playlist just changed from "Family Affair" to "No More Drama" as I was writing this, and I'd just like to take a moment to point out how perfectly this song speaks to my life at this point in time. SING IT FOR ME, MARY.)

Anyway, now that I'm done rambling about Bones & random health stuff that probably only 2% of my flist gives a crap about, I'm gonna wrap this up with a Vid of the Day. I'm in the mood for a cracky vid and I honestly can't believe I haven't rec'd this vid here yet before (seriously, WTF) because it's full of win, especially when you consider that most of it is shot-for-shot perfectly edited to match the original music vid. Frakkin' brilliant. Plus, c'mon, even aside from that, it's the Beastie Boys. And BSG. Together. What more could you ask for? So yes, watch it immediately & then go show some love to its creator katamarann at her journal by leaving her a comment.
