Today's deal of the day!

For any Paramore fans: amazon is selling the MP3 download of Paramore's Brand New Eyes album for 3.99 !!

I'm waiting the results of the twelve_colonies. HOW MUCH FUN WAS THAT???? Also, I am a bad Cylon for completely frakking up on two of the games there at the end -- writing ones at that. SORRY TEAM. MASSIVE FAIL.

Tee VEE time!



OMG, I think I'm in love with this show. Yes, it's a LOST clone, and I LOVES IT. How can I not? It has awesome scenes of Los Angeles destruction (look, I love Volcano, because they made the tar pits BOIL and sent lava down the Red Line! it's AWESOME). Also, that little bit of the helicopter stripping off the facade of the tower? HEE!!!

And also a kangaroo. Then a voice afterward going to commercial -- "Didja see the kangaroo? Didja? It's kinda very much like a polar bear, isn't it? tee hee!"

I *heart* Joseph Fiennes and his sad little face. And John Cho and his pouty anger when he figures out what seeing NOTHING means.

I do however object to the notion that either law enforcement or a doctor would be leaving their work after one day -- during the earthquake (and that was a whole lot less damage and death) the police remained on tactical alert several days and the hospitals were swamped. But anyway. Teh Drama.

ok, this is something only I freaking care about -- but I am mildly annoyed they didn't let both Joseph Fiennes and Sonya Walger keep their own accents. They're married to each other (er, in the show, I mean) for crying out loud - the only adjustment would be to make Mark be some sort of Scotland Yard liaison - because jeez, they even HAVE one of those! Or just let him be in the FBI and naturalized for whatever reason, I don't care. Can we just let ONE single British/foreign actor not have to talk American? oh wait, there was one. Alex Kingston is all - "phew, thank God Americans are already used to me talking normally, so I don't have to fake it".

(of course, when they do, they get Americans saying their accents are terrible, like poor Jamie Bamber, so, they just can't win, I guess)

ANYWAY. Since we all know I'm totally down with the concept of time travel and fate and DESTINY, this show is totally catnip.

I'm not sure I would've recognized Jack Davenport without knowing he would be there. Though I guess we did really only get a glimpse.

Sadly we're going to have record tomorrow AGAIN, since we have a meeting at Kidlet's school. DON'T WANT TO WAIT.

and in less squeeful dolphin-like language, we've also watched two eps of The Forgotten, which is paced far slower and more methodical, and makes me feel very much like I'm watching a show for my out-of-primary-demo self, but Christian Slater and the rest of the team are eminently watchable. The thing I like best about it, is the focus is on the victim (it's been murder victims twice, but I figure they won't always be), not the Whodunit, as most procedurals are where the body is pretty much only important for the clues it gives the investigators.

And hey, they actually found an American to lead a new series. SHOCKING, NO?

Ok, I'm sorry, I find it utterly hilarious that Woody Allen is calling for Roman Polanski's release.
