So, I thought I had the X Games all figured out, but last night Tiffany told me all of a sudden that she doesn't want to go to the second date anymore (apparently she's lost interest in skateboarding over the past 2 years. Though, I'm not exactly sure why she offered to go if she's lost interest. I mean, what exactly did she think would happen at Skateboarding Best Trick?). And I know Annie can't go already, and Lulu probably won't be able to, and that leaves me screwed, because I don't know anyone else who'd be at all interested in going, and my mom won't let me go alone. I'd rather not go alone, really. [sigh] I asked Lulu about it again and she said she'd check, but she probably won't be able to go. gah. I really don't want to have to miss this. X Games is (sadly) one of the best parts of my year, and I was so excited to be able to go to both Vert Skate and Skate Best Trick. I mean, even going to one day of X Games is better than nothing, but... I really wanted to be able to go to Best Trick as well. sigh. I hope Lulu can go, even though I'm not counting on it.
Edit: Well, Lulu can't go, but I explained the whole situation to my mom, and she asked me what time the event was (3:30-4:30) and she told me she'd go with me. I love my mom. She said she didn't mind as long as we'd be back before 7 (which we will, if it ends at 4:30ish) so she could have a normal Saturday night with my dad, eating Mexican food and watching movies. So yay, I still get to go. :D My mom is the best mother in the history of ever.

Anyways, new userinfo. It's pretty plain, but... I like it. I think it looks all right. When I was making the lists of shows and ships, I kept forgetting about QAF for some reason, which is why both it and Brian/Justin are so low on the lists. blah. I don't care enough to redo it, though.

Out of the two seasons of Dead Like Me I've been downloading the past few days, guess which one finished? Not season 1, of course. That would be too simple and would make me far too happy. No, season 2 finished sometime last night. sigh. Season 1 is at, like, 89%. I'm hoping it'll finish sometime early tonight so I'll be able to watch some episodes. That would rock.

The Body (BTVS season 5 episode) was on today, so I watched it. Man, do I love that episode. It's not my favorite episode (that would be Becoming Part 2), but it definitely makes me tear up more than any other episode. It's so brilliantly done. Forever aired after it, but I didn't feel like watching it as much.

Finally, Arrested Development is rerunning on FOX from 8pm-10pm. It's a hilarious show, so you really should check it out if you haven't. It needs all the viewers it can get. In addition, Veronica Mars is reairing on CBS from 8pm-10pm with the pilot episode and then the 10th episode (which is one of my absolute favorites of the series). So, if you haven't watched that, definitely check it out. I think you can watch the 1st and then the 10th without being too totally confused. If you haven't watched either, well... I don't know. Check out the pilot of VM and then the second two episodes of Arrested Development, or something. They're both awesome shows, though, and need more viewers.

After I posted, I found out that the SciFi network was going to air Firefly from the pilot starting tonight from 6-8. I've only seen up to episode 6 (I think it's 6. It's the Jaynestown episode.) and the first one I saw was Train Job, I never saw the actual 2-hour pilot, so I watched that. It was really good (...and makes more sense starting from there than Train Job). And, plus, Serenity trailer! Wheee! It was awesome. Now I just need to get a friend into Firefly so I won't have to go see Serenity alone. ...hey, Lulu? Want to watch the full season of Firefly and then be dragged to see Serenity with me? :)

After that I watched the first 4 eps of season 2 of Arrested Development. If I had a Nielson box, I probably would've watched Veronica Mars, but what I watched had absolutely no affect on the ratings (not that AD doesn't need better ratings also) and I've seen the pilot and An Echolls Family Christmas (and all VM eps, actually) about 5 times now, and I've only seen season 2 of AD once. So, I chose to watch that. The first 3 episodes were great, but... man, the fourth, Good Grief, is fucking awesome. Like, the other episodes are really good, but Good Grief is even more hilarious. I missed AD. It's so nice watching AD episodes again, even if I have already seen them before.

While I was watching these shows, Dead Like Me season 1 finally finished downloading! I watched the second episode already. Ah, I love this show. :D I'll probably stay up pretty late watching it. It's an awesome show, and I want to see more of it.

Lastly, while I was watching Firefly, the bobcats came out! I got loads of pictures of them. ( Bobcat Picspam )

All right, I suppose that's it. I guess I'll stay up and watch more Dead Like Me, now.
