I went ice-skating today! It was awessssome. I absolutely love ice-skating, but I hardly ever get to do it, which is sad. It started snowing a bit while we were in the rink, which was a bit surreal, and it's pretty much the only place in Leeds that still has small mountains of snow surrounding it, which is probably in purpose - it works a hell of a lot as advertising, haha.

I have just seen the trailer for the new Torchwood episodes, and I have to say it looks promising. ( one line spoilers ) It sound remarkably like a Who plot - Torchwood plots tend to be more... loltastic, say. Am not as excited with the thought of not actually watching it on tv - yeah, yeah, iplayer and everything, but. Still. Aaaah, I miss TV. Like, even back home I didn't watch that much tv, but it's a good thing to do in the afternoons when you have nothing to do and want your brain to shut down for a while (the perfect remedy is watching The Girls Next Door or something like it. It's incredibly trashy, yes, but incredibly entertaining as well, lol.)

One of my flatmates reminds me so much of Eve Myles. Which is weird, as she is Finnish. Huh.

Gossip Girl this week was incredibly boring Y/Y? Go back to being deliciously evil and sexy and Chuck/Blair-filled, show, PLZ PLZ. Pretty much, the shows I'm enjoying the most right now is HIMYM (Barneeeeey) and Fringe - I never hear any squee for Fringe in LJ but it's SO GOOD. Like, 1st season of Alias good. I've heard so many comments on how Lost is shiny again and I SORT of want to go back to it, but... S3 confused the hell out of me, yo. Before I stopped watching, that is. I haven't seen a single episode of Heroes for like five or six months. I don't even miss it, which is sad. I do mis S1, though. I'll force my mom to watch my DVDs with me during the summer.

( How I Met Your Mother 4x03 - I Love NJ )

ALSO, COURTESY OF quidditchkiss YOU HAVE TO GO AND CHECK THIS OUT. PROVING HOW DEFINITELY AWESOME HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER IS. Spoilery only for the S3 gag reel and TRUST ME YOU WANT TO BE HOWEVER LITTLE SPOILED BECAUSE A;LSJFALSDJF SO HOT. AND AWESOME. AND HOT. ;ALSDJKF.

Okay, so I'm still behind but oh well. Short, because it's late.

( Heroes 2x10 - Truths and Consequences: )

We'll be going downtown tomorrow during Hystory of Mexican Graphic class to see José Clemente Orozco's murals. I'd be excited about it if I hadn't stared them until me eyes bled (okay, I exagerate, but) during my senior year of high school for a giant project in Art History. Oh well, it's better than class, I guess. And speaking of which, last class we saw a bit of his earliest work, all caricature and oh, it was really good! I mean, everyone knows he was a genious when talking about murals, but that's a whole new facet of him I didn't knew before.

I'm working on that '10 Doctor Who personal canon facts' meme but I've been distracted. And I have The Last King of Scotland on my hard drive and I really want to watch it tonight.

Oh, yeah, I finally saw last week's Heroes and wee, it was pretty good! This is old news, though, lol.

( Now, who wants to see some photos of my graphite and charcoal drawings for school? They're large! they're black and white! they're nudes! yay! )

I got the original photographs form deviantart.com so if you happen to be the photographer, well... Know that I digged your work and that I'm totally not getting any profit, (or good grades, for that matter) or something.

Is it too wrong that I miss Peter's emo-bangs of angst? Because I do.

( Heroes 2x02 - Lizards: )

Am rewatching (and writting commentary as I go!) Heroes because it was so. damn. awesome. Seriously, it blew my mind away - I immediatly went and texted Gillian in a very capslocky way and he was all like 'OMG DON'T YOU DARE SPOIL ME' because he's watching it as it airs on the tv, and thus, is about 14 episodes behind XD

( Heroes 1x20 - Five Years Gone ) In regular time, it's still October, 2006, right? Because the bomb was supposed to go off on November the 5th? Man, that's a lot of stuff to happen in such a short time. o_O

I did say the other day that I was going to rant about Superman, didn't I? I finished reading the JLA + The Avengers run and OMG BUT SUPERMAN'S SUCH A DUCHEBAG. Really, he's a sanctimonious bastard while wearing the cape, and a complete nobody as Clark ('soso' as we'd say in Spanish). As crappy as Smallville has been this season (which, coincidentally enough, is on right now), at least it features a more human and normal Clark. *shrug*

So I wrote a bit last night for moonix's birthday, and oh, it felt good. I hadn't written anything since I finished my remix. So now I have about 300 words of my Death Touch!Sammy fic and a lame 200 on my Heroes apocalypthon entry (why yes, I'll be writing TWO entries. That's how much I love apocalypse fic XDD) - at least I've already figured out the reason everyone kicked it, I guess.

I went to the movies all by myself (ah, the joys of no longer depending on people for some stuff) to see The Fountain, and I actually liked it quite a lot. To the point where I cried a bit. One of those movies that you end up kinda confused and not getting what the hell happened but everything else is just so beautiful that you just don't care (but I just went and read some synopsis and wow everything has become much clearer). I loved the differences between the characters (mostly because they were played by the same people), and Hugh Jackman was awesome. Also, the cinematography and music were both kinda gorgeous, and the romance was so well done and perfect and it made me sigh quite a lot. Why was it so ignored in the Oscars? If they didn't get it, the visual effects are astounding enough to at least get a nomination in that... I really want to see it again, and once again I wonder, why the hell haven't I seen Requiem for a Dream yet? Even my brother loved it. *shakes head at self*

Anyway, I'm feeling tired so tonight's reviews aren't gonna be as long as my usual:

( Heroes 1x18 - Parasite: )Stupid April 23, being so damn far away. *mumbles angrily*

( The Black Donnellys 1x02: )

I got quite a horrible headache today - I just had to go and lay down and take a nap just so it would mostly go away. This is mostly thanks to my mom's genes (great thing to inherit, huh?), and I actually got it easy, considering that some of my cousins have this horrible migranes that have them laying on their beds crying for the pain to stop o_O Still, out of a week and a half, I haven't had a headache only TWO days. The rest? I've managed thanks to the awesomecakes of sedalmerck. *sigh* I'm thinking maybe starting some homeopathy treatment, seeing that it worked mostly okay for my mom.

One block away from the flamenco academy? THIS ASSHOLE HITS MY CAR. It was just a scratch and whatever, but it's my first ever trafic accident (if... you don't count the time I smashed my right mirror into another car, that is... *shifty eyes*), and I'm such a baby that I called my mom before I called the insurance. *goes on looking shifty* And dude, the guy didn't even TALK to me. Oh well, at least he admitted it was his fault.

Bad thing is, I have to take it to the shop in between a fortnight, and I kinda need my car to go to school... Sure, I could take the bus, but it's about oh, TWO effing hours by bus, and buses start passing around at 6, and I'd have to leave at 5AM to get to my 7AM classes... *tears out hair* And my mom's not too keen on lending me her car. Granted, it's a freaking beautiful SUV and she takes care of it as if it was her kid, and I drive as if I, you know, owned a noisy, bumped around, diminutive, chevy pop. But still. Faith, woman, you need more faith in me.

Mmm, it's the second year in a row that I don't get ashes on my forehead in Ash Wednesday. After all of that eternity in Catholic schools, I'd gotten used to just be dragged around to mass... I didn't eat meat, though, so I hope that counts. *TEH RETURN OF TEH SHIFTY EYES*

( Heroes 1x16 - Unexpected ) Yay, Heroes is back in shape!

OH MAN, OH MAN!!

( I JUST SAW HEROES - DISTRACTIONS )

MORE COHERENCE TOMORROW BECAUSE HOW WONDERFUL WAS THIS EPISODE, EH? A LOT.
