brokenrecordSo Monday was my 19th birthday. It was pretty blah, since I basically just sat at home all day. I got Leopard and a copy of Windows XP for my birthday from my parents so I can finally use Windows on my Macbook because Paintshop Pro only works with Windows and I like PSP more than Photoshop and Photoshop is like a billion dollars anyways, and I bought PSP last year when my computer died and I had to get a new one for $80 and only used it for a few months before I got my Macbook. And now it turns out that I can only use that copy of PSP on one computer. gah. So I don't know what I'm going to do about that now, but I really don't want to have to buy it again. sigh.
I celebrated my birthday with Jackie, Galaxy, and Justin yesterday by having a Colin Firth marathon (which was really more watching Love Actually, 3 episodes of Arrested Development when Justin had class and Galaxy had to go to this thing for a friend, and the first Bridget Jones movie). It was fun, though.
I watched the season premiere of Torchwood this morning.
Seriously, as long as they give me some Jack/Ianto, I don't care what else they do. I know the show doesn't really have the best writing and has a lot of plot holes and whatever, but I don't care. Jack and Ianto give me such glee.
The only thing I didn't totally love about the episode was the scene between Jack and Gwen. Just... what? They stopped hinting the possibility of anything between them after like the second episode last year. If I had never watched the show before and saw this episode, I would've thought they had had a relationship before. Just... no. I thought Gwen had an affair with Owen last season, not Jack, but apparently I'm not remembering correctly or something, because seriously. That just came out of nowhere. And yeah, part of my hate for it is that I love Jack and Ianto so much, but even without that, I really hate the idea of Gwen and Jack. I hated them back in the first episode and I hate them even more now. I don't really know why, honestly. Part of it is that I just really don't like Gwen, but I actually do like her with Owen (and I like Owen, both of which I know are unpopular opinions, but whatever. I try to stay away from people's posts on Torchwood because otherwise the show wouldn't make me nearly as happy as it does). I don't know. I just really, really hope she either goes back to Owen (which doesn't seem likely now) or she and Rhys go through with the wedding. Or they find a new love interest for her. Just not Jack. Please.
Um, yeah. But the rest I loved. James Marsters! Yay! I'm glad that the previews indicated that he'll be in at least one more episode this season.
I am very, very happy that BBC America has decided to air this season basically as it airs in the UK (only a week and a few days behind), since once I go back to school, I can't download torrents any more (well I can, but the connection is ridiculously slow, and I might as well just wait until I get back home to download them all), so at least this way I won't have to wait months and months to see this season.
Also making me very, very happy: the new movie rentals system on iTunes and Netflix allowing unlimited online downloads of movies (not for all plans, but my parents have the plan that allows that) so I can watch movies when I get back to school. It's like the universe realized "What? The movies your school library has mostly suck and you're going to run out of movies there you actually want to watch very quickly? Well, here are two ways to make life easier for you so you can still watch a ridiculous amount of movies!" (Because yes, the universe does revolve around me.) Very awesome.
