brokenrecordStill sick. I don't know if I'm worse or better. I think I had a fever on Sunday night/on and off Monday. Sunday night right as I was going to bed, I just felt super cold, and I was wearing a sweatshirt, socks, and had 2 blankets. Normally it's warm enough in my room that I am fine in a t-shirt, 1 blanket, no socks. Then I woke up (well... I don't feel like I ever really fell asleep. I was drifting in and out of sleep all night. When I get sick, I either fall asleep super fast at like 10 PM and sleep until 10 AM, or I can't sleep at all. Unfortunately, this sickness is a can't sleep at all type.) sometime in the middle of the night and was just like... burning hot. So I took all the extra crap off and was still too warm, but managed to go back to sleep. That seems like having a fever/the chills to me, but I don't actually have a thermometer, so I have no idea what my temperature was. The same went for most of Monday. I did go to all my classes (I actually felt mentally better than on Saturday for the most part, and I'm always so paranoid about missing something that I didn't want to not go. But then it turned out Directed Research lasted like 20 minutes and there was nothing important, in German we did nothing that it would have killed me to miss, and in Cognitive Psych we watched a video about repressed memories). I did skip Wind Ensemble, though, which is crazy since I've never missed a class (including Wind Ensemble) in college on account of being sick. ...it was partially because I had a ridiculous load of Discrete Math work to do, though, and I didn't see me finishing it without skipping. But mostly because playing tenor with a horrible cough and sore throat and possible fever is probably not the best idea, anyways.
I've had so much random stuff to post about that I keep forgetting. So here's some really random stuff:
omg KAJ! I love him! He's so much more interesting than Ethan. I want to like Ethan so much, but he's just boring. The most I liked him and shipped him with Erica was last season, but even then it wasn't very much. But Kaj! He can actually understand what Erica's going through! He finally opened up to Erica! He was totally selfish in kissing Erica knowing that he wouldn't remember. I don't know if he knew that Erica would remember or not; I don't think she made that clear, that even though nothing would stick, she would know what happened. It would make him even more selfish if he did know, which he may have. But it was sweet! And I felt so bad at the end when he didn't know what he had done, and he totally obviously was into Erica, and she just shut him down. I don't know if I'd enjoy seeing Kaj and Erica actually in a relationship, but I like this build-up (or if they never actually get together, it's not really build-up, but whatever. I like what's going on now).
Oh man, rewatching the pilot of Greek is so weird! Evan doesn't hate Rusty! Casey doesn't hate Rebecca or Frannie! Evan hasn't cheated on Casey yet (well, for most of the episode)! Cappie and Rebecca don't know each other! No one knows that Calvin is gay! No one knows that Casey has a brother! I... could probably go on, but that's probably enough.
It's weird, too, since I remember liking Casey at this point first time around and I've seen people complain about her recently so I had this impression that Casey was a lot better at the beginning of the show, but I like her so much better now! I like her at the beginning, but I love her now; at the beginning she's too obsessed with becoming president of ZBZ and doesn't give a crap about Rusty and forgives Evan and listens to Frannie and is kind of a bitch. I really love her character arc, in retrospect.
I love the finale of the first half of the first season. Everything comes to a head so well. Things come up that I didn't expect to be addressed again. And SO MUCH happens. There's the major thing of Jen K, but there's also Casey kissing Cappie when they worked on the project together, all the scheming things Frannie's done throughout the semester, Casey choosing to forgive Evan so she could become president, Calvin being gay, Rusty cheating on that test, etc. And I love the end with Casey and Rusty driving back together, and Cappie waving at them. I love them.
I love that Casey isn't the only reason for Evan and Cappie falling out. It has so much to do with Evan changing what he wants and going to Omega Chi and them just... falling apart. The Casey thing was just kind of the last straw. And I love, too, that a lot of the relationships fall apart because of internal issues rather than external issues. It's not that Evan gets between Casey and Cappie, but that Cappie isn't serious enough for Casey and such.
I LOVE THE START TO CASEY/MAX! He's so dorky and sweet and adorable. I stop liking them as much I think first when he decides not to tell her about choosing her over his career or whatever, and... I don't know, the end of season 2 I remember him being really annoying/douchey for some reason.
I'm still kind of disappointed that Casey doesn't get elected president of ZBZ! It just seems wrong. It was her dream for ages, and yeah, she gets to act as president for a semester, but it's not really the same, you know? I know part of it is that she gets to realize that ZBZ isn't everything, and she can be happy doing other things and so on, but still. I love her, so I want her to get everything she wants, you know?
I want Calvin and Heath to get back together. Michael was pretty much a douche, and Grant has like no personality, but he and Heath together were always pretty cute.
Normally I get annoyed by meta stuff on TV shows (stuff like "That only happens in fiction, but this is real life!" or whatever else. There are others that bother me worse, but I can't remember right now.), but I really enjoy all the random meta stuff on this show. Like Evan saying "Everyone already thinks I'm president anyways" or before that when someone was like "Wait, isn't Evan president?" and the other person was like "No, you need to pay closer attention!" or the comments about how it never gets cold there anyways, or that it's like 20 degrees warmer there than anywhere else in the state, or Rebecca saying that there's a sorority event like every week.
I get really tired of all the in-house backstabbing and rivalry in the ZBZ house. The guys in Kappa Tau and Omega Chi never seem to have the same stuff going on. They're all much more united. But in ZBZ, there's always something: Casey vs. Frannie, Casey vs. Rebecca, etc. It seems vaguely sexist that the girls are the ones where there's constant backstabbing and the guys don't have to deal with that. It gets a lot better once Frannie leaves and then it's sorority vs. sorority which I can accept much more easily (I mean, the guys do have the frat vs. frat stuff), because after that Rebecca and Casey get along much better (they're not the best of friends, of course, but they're not constantly at odds with each other). I like the storyline right now so much better when Frannie is gone (I liked her best during season 1; she got old in season 2, and I found her relationship with Evan really boring) and Casey and Rebecca are no longer fighting.
I randomly enjoy that the walls in the dorm rooms at the school are the exact walls of my dorm rooms freshman and sophomore year.
omg I really adore the tentative friendship between Casey and Rebecca starting in the middle of season 2. For some reason it's a lot more meaningful to me this time than last time. I really adore them. I'd love if the series ended with them really close.
The first time I saw 3.05 I focused on the fact that Cappie had gotten a Lavalier for Casey, but this time it struck me more that they haven't been together for nearly 3 years, and yet he STILL HAS IT. Even after turning Casey down! There's still a part of him that's leaving it open! Not... that this is a huge surprise (Casey and Cappie are obviously going to end up together. I just hope it's sooner rather than later since I'd actually like to see them in a relationship), but still, it made my heart melt. Or something.
I actually really enjoy Evan like all the time (even when he's being a douche, I still like him in general because I know that he's really a good guy. He just... screws up a whole lot), but I think my favorite is Evan on pot. I don't know that anything's cracked me up as much as him discussing how Katherine shouldn't be mad at Casey, and then adds the stuff about her being afraid of trees and not letting him eat the shampoo.
Rusty changing his Facebook status to single totally cracks me up, because I know I've had discussions with people before about how a relationship isn't official until it's on Facebook. And it was totally on TBBT before, too. It's amusing.
All my random series rewatch thoughts I wrote down before I saw last night's episode:
OMG. JUST OMG. CAPPIE WAS SO NERVOUS AND SO CUTE AND OMG. FINALLY! I was so afraid they wouldn't get together until like the series finale! I mean, I guess who knows what happens in the next episode; they might get screwed up again. But for now, THEY'RE TOGETHER! ;lkajsf seriously this totally made my day omg. I love them so much! I wasn't expecting this to happen since there's still an episode left before the hiatus, but it did and I'm so happy!
I'm glad that when Evan tried moving in on Casey, Casey realized that she wanted Cappie and she couldn't settle for Evan. And I loved that all the other KTs were like "YOU ARE AN IDIOT" for not going after Casey, and Rusty also encouraged him. Just, ugh. I loved it so much.
I can't really form coherent thoughts. I just absolutely adored it. I'm hoping now we get to see them in an actual relationship and it works out and they're not constantly breaking up or anything.
I don't have a whole lot to say about it, but I must mention that OMG DOLLHOUSE ON FRIDAY WAS AMAZING. Best episode of the show, by far, and I've actually been really enjoying the show up to this point. I adore Sierra and Victor so much. And those actors are amazing. Oh man. When I first heard Dollhouse was renewed I was kind of like "Eh, that's cool" since even though I liked it, I had expected it would be canceled (I was surprised Fox even aired the entire first season), and I wasn't THAT invested in it. But I am so glad it was renewed. I'd love it to get a 3rd season, even though there's even less of a chance of that happening, but still!
Also, I watched the pilot of White Collar, and OMG LOVE. Matthew Bomber is a total GQMF. And I was severely lacking Bryce Larkin on my TV. But even besides him, the whole show was just so much fun! I loved that the FBI guy actually enjoyed his job and has a pretty good relationship with his wife and his wife doesn't get supremely pissed off that he has to work so often! It's just kind of... refreshing! I was sad that Psych had to go on hiatus so soon (I mean, this is how it always is, but it always seems so short! Only 8-9 episodes and then off the air for months is not cool!), but I'm much more okay with it with this being the replacement.
I am going home tomorrow! I am so excited. I'll finally have a Wednesday night where I'm not killing myself trying to finish my Discrete Math homework! I will have homework I'll probably have to do over the weekend, but not too much, which means I can spread it out a bit and I'll still have a pretty relaxing break.
