ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO THIS, BITCHES.

Directions: Vote for your favorite Shipper Pairing of all time below. I'm trying to be as all-inclusive as possible, so there'll be a few polls in a row to allow for more options (the order's a little random though, just as a warning. I didn't group all the pairings from the same show together necessarily. Sorry). Only vote in one of the polls (if you voted for more than one by mistake, *eyes a couple of you, ha*, let me know in your comment which one is your top pick so I can count your vote). Once you've voted, spam the fuck out of this place in the comments (if you have the time & are so inclined) to campaign for your favorite ship, doing your best to convince others why they should vote for that pairing as well (or change their vote if need be). Anything's fair game, from a simple explanation as to why your ship pwns, to .gifs, pics, macros, quotes, vids, whatever. Be as silly or serious as you want & hang out for as long as you want. I'll leave the poll open until late-ish tonight, so people from different time zones hopefully have more time to join in on the fun.

Make sense? Good.

edited to add: The directions above appear to still be confusing folks, because I'm still seeing people vote in each poll. So, once again, this time with feeling: there are three polls before you. Only vote in one, my homegizzles. Whichever poll contains your favorite pairing of ALL three polls. . .VOTE IN THAT ONE. Okay, we should be good now. Hee. (next time I'll know how to make ONE poll and cheat the code to include as many options as I need--since [livejournal.com profile] juliedarling told me how--but alas, I did not know how to do that before tonight. Sometimes I = less than smart.)

rachg82: (Morning After)
So, my day started out lame because I woke up sick this morning (I actually started feeling yucky over the weekend, so today was the tail-end of it) and had to miss work. I was feeling much better by this evening though, luckily. Hopefully I don't get myself into trouble for missing though. *is nervous* I think I've been better about attendance lately (or at least I've been told so anyway), so fingers crossed this doesn't screw me up.

Anyway though, now that I'm no longer lying on my couch in a curled-up ball cursing my stomach (it's only getting a mild look of reproach now, heh), I can get back to what I do best: wasting time on the ole interwebz. Hallelujah!

And since I have the time I thought I'd post some more of the tv ramblage I promised over the weekend. Most of it was written Friday night actually; I just didn't want to post an insane amount of writing all at once.

Ramblage today will include:

-Gossip Girl
-Glee
-So You Think You Can Dance
-Parks & Recreation
-How I Met Your Mother
-Vanguard

And P.S. I do still plan to write about last week's Dollhouse & Bones, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Even I sometimes fall behind on my tv duties. Stupid real life getting in the way of my obsession with fictional characters! Hee.

Oh tv and internet, how did people waste time before you existed? )

All right, guys, I've got a mission for this entry. I have exactly one hour before I need to get ready to go shopping with my sister this afternoon, and I'm going to test myself to see if I'm able to finish an entry in that amount of time. I keep writing and deleting what I write lately (hello, perfectionist), causing me to take a million years to finish one silly entry, and it's just gotta stop. So. Today I get one hour, and if this entry has typos or isn't perfect, well then so be it.

Today I'll be delivering the post-Bones squeeage I promised, plus give some quick comments on other shows I watched this week. *sets timer* It's go-time, yo! Hee.

Real quick first though: Have you guys heard that there is going to be a Sweet Valley High movie? I got a little too excited when I heard that, not gonna lie. Ha. I was so into those books as a kid though, like really. Not only did I read the high school ones, I also read the books about them as little kids, and the university series (which I was completely obsessed with, btw). I even watched the short-lived tv show for crying out loud. It was totally Fandom-Crazy Rachael, Version 1.0. And I'd be embarassed by this admission, but I don't have nearly enough shame for that. Heh. Seriously though, who here from their late twenties and older didn't read those books? Everyone I knew as a kid was into them. So yeah, I'm sure the movie will completely suck, but I will totally be at least renting it. Heh. Especially if they set it in the late eighties/early nineties time period it was meant for, so we can all revel in the cheese-tastic Valley Girl drama & fashions. Which they'd better, because I can't imagine my Wakefield twins with cell phones and shit. It just wouldn't be right.

This week in television: Bones, House, Glee, Dollhouse, and Mad Men )
rachg82: (Squee)
I am so proud of myself for resisting the urge to watch Canadian Bones tonight. I'm not even looking at people's comments to get hints as to whether people like it. Just gonna wait and watch it tomorrow night like the rest of America. It's like I've got willpower or something! Crazy, I know.

Speaking of tv, I've got new episodes of So You Think You Can Dance and Glee waiting for me on my DVR tonight! (and of course my guilty pleasure: America's Next Top Model. I still haven't seen the premiere from last week though. I'm totally letting my crack!show down.)

Also? Dollhouse starts next Friday! And Jamie Bamber's going to be on the very first episode! So much yaaaaaay. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for at least one cheesy meta BSG reference. C'mon Whedon, I know you won't leave us nerds hangin'!

Speaking of tv again (ha, I so need a life. That or a career in television to justify all this), I watched a rerun of How I Met Your Mother last night (I only started watching this summer though, so it was new to me) and could not stop laughing over it all day today at work. "You can't build a murder house, Ted!" That part had me ROLLING, I swear to God. "I like to do my own laundry, and it gets MESSY." Hahaha.

I've gotta say, this summer has been very good for me tv-wise. I started with a little mini-rewatch of X-Files (made it to the abduction arc & then got unfortunately derailed), rewatched most of the first two seasons of Bones, started watching How I Met Your Mother & Big Bang Theory (*hearts Sheldon*), and of course got further sucked into my hot and heavy love affair with Battlestar Galactica. As everyone here knows all too well. Ha. I'm so glad the finale didn't ruin it for me, btw, as I was kind of worried it would (based on the mixed reactions it got from the fans). And I'll get into this a lot more later when I do my actual recap/commentary, but for now I'll just say this: I love being on the positive side of a fandom for once. Heh. I mean, I think I'm actually on the same page as those who were unhappy with the ending--in that parts were fail, and parts were fantastic--but I think the difference for me was that I was so prepared for the faily moments I was able to just brush them off & focus on the parts that were great. Sometimes it actually pays to be spoiled. (That, or I'm somehow getting less crotchety and nitpicky in my old age, but I doubt it.) It probably helped too that some of those great moments were Roslin/Adama related, considering I'm totally in love with them, hee. I'm still riding high on a crazy Roslin/Adama love train even now. Chugga chugga choo choo!

P.S. On the same topic, I rewatched "A Day in the Life" from season 3 tonight, and how did I not remember what a good episode this was? It's such an interesting look into Adama's feelings and past, and also so effing shippy! OMG. Like, seriously, the Roslin/Adama flirting, IT IS TOO MUCH FOR ME. The book! And her dorky smile about going to the gym! And him being all "you're always welcome here"! And their conversation about their snuggly night together on New Caprica! And her cabin! (which, btw, will kill you even more after the finale) UGH, I CANNOT EVEN DEAL WITH THESE TWO. THEIR LOVE, IT IS GOING TO BE THE DEATH OF ME.

Anyway, that's it for now. I'm off to watch at least one of my DVR recordings before bed. Before I go though, here's your Vid of the Day. This time we're going with an actual vid, as opposed to a fanvid. This is a clip of the song "I just want to dance" from the Jerry Springer Opera (how much do I love that that's an actual thing?). For those paying attention, I posted a remix version of this song a while back, but this is the actual original. It's only a minute or two long, but is seriously a thing of joy. The part about halfway through when she lets loose & starts belting it out with the chorus singing behind her? Oh my God, SO GOOD.

(note: there are a couple swear words in this song, so don't listen to it outloud at work or something)
