Hey, what's up, so today I'm going to talk about House. This is all incredibly spoiler-y, both concretely and hypothetically, so ~beware~.
I'd like to address THAT spoiler. You know the one. And if you don't, you probably shouldn't be reading this at all, since your lack of knowledge suggests a lack of desire to acquire said knowledge ahead of time. Which, you know, more power to you. But I'm a spoiler junkie.Spoilers for House 5x24 (plus random Bones season 3 finale spoiler) )

ETA: I've just realized that I made an incredibly stupid error of reasoning in the above content, and have changed it to reflect this realization. Um, just so you know that I am no longer stupid. Or at least, less stupid than I was before.

You know what I've just noticed? My favourite show for a long time now has been "Chuck", but I've never really talked about it at all. That's bizarre. I don't have time tonight, but I will definitely come back soon and break it down Chuck-style.

Oh hai, I jumped up a spot on the list of top PB bloggers:
http://www.boxxet.com/Prison_Break/Section:top_blogs_news/
I'm a little more proud of that then I should be. Though I do object to the inclusion of "An Inane Tale From 4 AM"... that entry was pretty personal, and was not PB news in any way, shape or form.
That's all I had to say, heh. OH NO WAIT. I've discovered streaming after deeply mistrusting it for so very, very long. So now I'm taking a long hard (lol, dirty) look at my repertoire of television shows.
I currently watch three still-running shows:
1. Prison Break
2. House
3. Bones
... I know, I'm not very prolific. But yesterday, I watched the pilots to:
- Supernatural
- How I Met Your Mother
- Dexter
... and they were all pretty awesome. Actually, I watched the pilot of "30 Rock" too, but I did not enjoy it. I was surprised, everyone is all "OMG 30 Rock is the best!!1!" but I just didn't find it funny. I've started watching Dexter before but that was back when I had no DVR nor any inclination to download TV, so I fell behind and eventually gave up. But I love that show, so I am all over it now.
Are there any other shows that, IYO, I should start watching ASAP?

Help me, please, for I cannot see the episode for the MiMa. *stumbles around like a blind person, groping the air and bumping into things*
I struggled with this episode. Maybe I need to start just relaxing while I watch these? Because it was literally just every scene, Do I like this? Are these people being cool? Does he get brownie points for that? Am I going to icon this bit?
... yeah, I srsly need to relax. That's for PB is FOR.

Spoilers for Prison Break, House, and Invasion )

I have my first two mid-terms tomorrow. I went to the library today and hunkered down to the Biophysics and fully learned more in those three hours than I'd learned in the first month of classes. Physics is actually really interesting. I just wish I didn't have to be taught it by someone I can barely understand. I also had my first Physics lab today, and I have such a huge crush on my lab partner, it's ridiculous. I'm kind of sad there's only four labs this term. I'm going to start petitioning to get more Physics labs.

That was a long entry. BFN.

Funny how such a sub-par episode is getting two entries from me. It's just, I was over at the TWoP forums' discussion for this episode, and they had some interesting things to say that I wanted to pass on...

Spoilers... )

I was going to talk about the House premiere but... I dunno. It just doesn't inspire a lot of discussion out of me. I would be so totally pissed at Wilson right now, only I know it's all going to work out. See, House's characters are a little bit too safe. We know House and Wilson are going to stay friends, we know none of the main characters (and I don't count the new ducklings, but who cares about them, really?) are going to get fired or die anytime soon.

Might as well get the whinging out of the way first. So. As I may or may not have mentioned, I'm going to the University of Western Ontario in the fall for a degree in Biological and Medical Sciences, specifically in Pathology & Toxicology, since I aspire to be a forensic pathologist. If you're unfamiliar with the UWO, it has a very good reputation in relation to other Canadian universities, perhaps only topped by McGill University (bleargh -- too much french, thnxverymuch). The BMSc program is almost unique in Canada -- pathology programs at an undergraduate level are practically unheard of. So, I'm very excited about this program. But, as it turns out? This may be THE HARDEST UNDERGRAD PROGRAM IN THE COUNTRY. I wouldn't know, I haven't experienced any of them, but the BMSc program is already quite stringent about admissions (it is the only program where entry into every single separate year is competitive). Added to that, Pathology & Toxicology has the highest admission cut-offs of any BMSc program. In order to be *competitive* (not a guarantee -- *competitive*) for entry into Year 3, I have to get at least a 95% average over all the core science and math courses. For entry into Year 4, the admission cut-off is 91%+ in Year 2 and 87%+. And I am quite understandably freaking out because my average in grade 12? Was 89%. And they say (you know, *they*) that your average is supposed to drop 13% from high school to university. Which means I am not only going to have to work my ass off, but that is *all* I am going to get to do. My life is basically going to be working, eating, working, sleeping (maybe), working, exercising, and working. And maybe that's true of any undergrad student, but I am literally not going to even have time to talk with people on the road between classes. Any functional relationships, romantic or platonic? Forget it. No time.
But -- you'll laugh -- I'm still trying to convince myself that I'll have time for 44 minutes a week to spend watching Prison Break. Oh, me. I crack myself up.
Who knew? I'm rather attached to what little semblance of a life I currently have.
So, in honour of the month or so of time I have left for hardcore time-wasting, I'm gonna do a meme. :D

Another Fictional Characters meme... )
absinthe_spoons: (Default)
Does anyone know any good memes? Not audience-participation, the easy question-and-answer ones.
I had a lot of fun with this one, but I may have taken it a lot more seriously than it was intended to be. Also, Sam Vimes has overtaken Alex Mahone as my favourite fictional character.

Meme here... )
Okay... well, that's all.

Okay, so... I decided to change my journal back from friends-only. I am such a flip-flopper. It was just tearing my heart up to see my gorgeous FO banner being reduced to such small, eye-straining size. That's exactly why I did that. Yes.

Read more... )

I'm gonna wrap this up, because if I don't, I can see no end in sight. It will just go on forever.
