(no subject)

I'm so happy that this week is about over. I finished that ten-page midterm paper over the weekend (and then on Monday she told us she changed her mind and it only had to be 5 pages. sigh. But at least I'm done), and then spent the rest of the week studying like crazy for my geology test. The test was rather hard, so I'm hoping for a B on it. I'm worried about the grade, but I'm still more relaxed/relieved than before the test, because at least now it's out of my hands.

I haven't been talking basically... at all about the TV shows I've been watching. I think it's a combination of the fact that I'm still not sure of my routine here and I'm watching the shows at like... 10 or 11 rather than 8 or 9 like last year. But anyways, Pushing Daisies and Gossip Girl last night were ridiculously fun to watch. I love Pushing Daisies so much, it's unique and wonderful and happy and fun. And there was Raul Esparza! He better come back for the musical episode. Oh god if he comes back and sings, I might die of happiness. And Gossip Girl is pretty shallow and not the best written show ever, but it's just a lot of fun and reminds me of high school and I don't know. It's just an hour where I don't really have to think very hard and I don't really care what happens, I can just enjoy it. And it reminds me a lot of The O.C. (which makes sense, since Josh Schwartz, and there are a bunch of shallow, pretty teens with drama) so it's filling that void in my TV schedule.

Anyways, I guess I'll relax for another hour or so (I feel like I haven't really had a chance to do that in weeks, what with the crazy business of parents' weekend, then my second psych test, then the paper, then the geology test), look through my paper once more to make sure there aren't any stupid typos I didn't catch already, and... uh. I don't know. Relax some more? It's so nice not to have any looming deadlines in the horizon. And I'm going to be home in a week! Ah I can't wait. :D

Pushing Daisies makes every day a little brighter. I feel like I could write poetry after watching :):):)

I know! This was the show I was most looking forward to this season, and I was really worried after the pilot the episodes would drop off and not be as good, but they've been just as excellent. This show just makes me happy.

I know! I heard they had their budget cut.. I hope things stay as awesome as they are FOREVER. Also, your icon makes me happy :x:x:x

Ooh, I hadn't heard that. I agree, I hope things stay this awesome forever and this show goes on many seasons and has a satisfying conclusion and doesn't end on a cliffhanger, because I hate it when that happens.

Heh, your icon makes me happy, too! I really should have more Wonderfalls icons.

I haven't been watching Pushing Daisies (I'm trying really hard to keep the number of tv shows I watch down until Chrsitmas when I've got all the time in the world when I'm not in university) but omg I had no idea that Raul was going to be in it until I logged on this morning and everyone was talking about it. And yes, a musical episode. Him and Kristin Chenoweth singing. Seriously, I'd die. And I haven't even watched the show. Lol.

Pushing Daisies is so excellent, so I hope you do get to watch it. I found out Raul was going to be on I think a week ago, and I was so ridiculously excited all week long, waiting for this episode. And I don't know if you've heard, since you haven't watched the show and probably haven't been reading up on it much, but they've said they definitely are planning a musical episode this season, so it's totally not out of the realm of possibility that Raul and Kristin might do a duet. Kristin actually sang last week even though it wasn't a musical episode, so he wouldn't even have to be in the musical episode to sing. He's coming back for one or two episodes in November, and I really, really hope he sings.
