brokenrecordOMG YES FINALLY PETE/PEGGY INTERACTION. Ugh when did I start shipping them this much? This is such a bad show to have ships, too. On most shows you can tell what ships are going to be supported by the show and will at least get a lot of attention. I really don't expect Pete and Peggy to ever end up together. BUT I ENJOY THEM SO MUCH TOGETHER. And I've been dying this season with absolutely no interaction between them, so this episode was amazing, even though they were only in 2 scenes together and the first one they barely said anything to each other. And Pete's "Your decisions affect me" totally killed me. Oh, Pete. He can be such a douche, but I somehow still really enjoy him and care about him. I don't even care if they never have any sort of relationship or hook up or whatever again, I just need more scenes between them!
The True Blood finale was disappointing. Mostly because WHAT THE HELL WHERE WAS ERIC DURING ALL THAT. And both Bill and Eric's visits to the Queen were so pointless. Especially Eric's. And I am not a fan of Bill proposing to Sookie. I do like that her reaction was basically like "WHAT NO THIS IS TOO MUCH I CAN'T DO THIS--ooh this ring looks so pretty, ok!" But I don't know that I like where this is heading. How is any sort of Sookie/Eric development going to happen if Sookie and Bill are engaged? Yeah, she didn't get to actually TELL him yes, but she did decide to say yes, so I'm sure she considers them engaged, even if Bill isn't aware of it. I don't like it. And they BETTER make it Lorena who captured Bill and not Eric. And if it is Lorena, Eric better have had zero part in it. Also, did Eric buying Sookie the driveway happen in book 2 or 3? Because that better happen on the show, too. And they better kiss for real in the next season! (Ok, I'm done demanding things of the show now.)
Also, there totally needs to be a mention of Sam having sex dreams about Bill. I mean, come on! He did drink a lot of his blood! But I'm sure it won't be addressed at all because Bill is pure and amazing and wonderful and Eric is evil. sigh.
I finally, finally watched Dollhouse 1.13, the DVD-only episode. I don't know why I waited so long, but HOLY CRAP THAT WAS AWESOME. I kind of had an idea of what it was about going in and it didn't seem that appealing, but it was just amazing. I'm now so looking forward to seeing what they do this season. I would love if the show could go all the way through and past what is shown in 1.13, but I feel like this will probably be the last season of the show. I mean, it was a miracle that it was renewed even past the first season. And even if it does get renewed again, it's not like it's going to go on 10+ years. Although I suppose they could do flashforwards or speed up time (like have this season take up 3 years, or jump forward in time after the end of this season, or whatever). In any case, I'm super excited for this season (especially with ALEXIS DENISOF guest-starring! He totally hasn't been on TV enough since Angel ended). For some reason, I thought it was premiering this Friday, so I was not very happy to find out that it's not actually premiering until the week after this Friday.
We do not have an air conditioner in the apartment, and it sucks. I'm actually longing for the weather to get cold because we do at least have a heater. And at least with cold weather, you can always put more layers on. At the very least, I'm looking forward to it being October. But right now it's been in the 80s everyday, and while I have two windows that open in my room, they like... open up from the bottom, and they just get cracked like 30 degrees open, so there's essentially no breeze. Stupid Minnesota weather. You're never what I want you to be.
I met with my Directed Research adviser yesterday about my project. It looks like the proposal I did for Research in Psych last semester should work, although it needs some tweaking. I don't know, it was weird because she spent most of the meeting poking holes in the proposal and asking me a bunch of questions I didn't know the answer to, and then at the end she was like "Ok, you're doing well here! This should work for you!" And I was just like "...what?" But I realized afterwards that she was trying to think of criticisms that'll come up when I submit it to the IRB. So... I think I'm doing all right? I don't know. At least I have a topic. That's always the hardest part for me. And if I can do this proposal, I have loads of research and planning already done (...which may have been the main reason I wanted to go ahead with this proposal, since the idea of having to do the proposal I did last semester again for a different subject in much less time was really not appealing). I don't know. I'm at least feeling better about this, even if only just a little bit, because I'm just a little bit closer to being done than I was yesterday, which is nice.
