 Hee! Alias rambling! Did you miss it? I still. can't. believe. the new season has started. Gaaaah! Whyyyy does the wait have to be so long, and then the episode is over in a split second? And then we're stuck waiting for the next one? ALL I DO IS WAIT FOR YOU, ALIAS! Sigh.

 ALIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS! *whimper* EVERYTHING IS WEIRD NOW! And... and... meep. Not completely sure what i thought of the ep, because it's still just odd as hell that there was just NEW ALIAS on. Just now. Uhm. THIS IS WEIRD! I guess... it was good... sort of. Uhm... okay, i definitely need to ponder this a little more. All i can think of right now is "mehgejrg".

MEEP.

 Duuude, i got to see Lost in Translation today. I reeeeeeally loved it. Just so, so gorgeous (both cinematography and story-wise), and... i don't know. It had that subtle mix of humor and sadness that i adore, and the feeling of it just stuck with me. And Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson are awesome. Just... yes. Excellent.

And since it was a cool indie-ish movie, they showed cool indie-ish previews! Saw the trailer for Sylvia, and it looks really really good. I hope it is, because, well... it's Sylvia Plath. And, hey, you can at least be sure that it'll be depressing as hell.

So yeah. Uhm. Tomorrow is Alias. And by "tomorrow" i mean "today". I need to stop feeling nauseous with anticipation when i think of that. It's just a tv show, CALM. DOWN. ... egh. Nope. Still nauseous.

 Oh man, it's new tv week! And thus begins the good times of me never leaving my room. (except, uh, that's not a change at all.) Tomorrow is Ed and West Wing, and i'll actually get to watch them! (damn stupid conflicting with Angel and Smallville argh argh argh dammit) And you know what's on Sunday? In 5 days? Do you? DO YOU? OMG IT'S ALIAS! Holy shit. We get to find out what happens next. EEP! I'm so excited and nervous and scared and excited and i'm going to be catatonic on Sunday. It's weird, because at the beginning of the summer i just didn't feel that horrible urgency of wanting the new season to get here (maybe because i was having a hard enough time adjusting to the season finale). And then i didn't really think about it a whole lot, and then the promo pics and dvds were released and now i am FREAKING THE FUCK OUT. Dude, why does getting a new season always have to feel so weeeeeird? Unfamiliar territory! GACK!

 Well fuck it all. I knew my hope was delusional, but still... argh. At least Jen and Victor and Lena looked gooooorgeous. Whee! And man, for some reason, even though i knew Jen had the least chance of winning out of all of them, when it got to her award i was probably the most disappointed. Just because that was our last chance for an Alias win. Argh argh argh. Wasn't this season of The Sopranos, like, the shittiest one ever? That's what i heard, so, what the fuck? I hate you, Academy. At least The Daily Show, Tony Shalhoub, and The Amazing Race won. But... but... my SpyFamily. *sniffle* Robbed! Robbed i tells ya!

 Aww. I finished my dvds! No more Alias every day! *sob* It's a damn good thing s3 starts in a week. (!!!!) Although, it just won't have the same comfort that s1 has, that familiarity. But, new stuff! We get to find out what happens next! MEEEEP! Holy. crap.

I have to make another crap model for Tuesday, which soooooks. I hate you school! But i have the Emmys to look forward to tomorrow, which wouldn't be particularly exciting except that i am holding out the delusional hope that the whole SpyFamily will win. Dude, i can dream, can't i? Cause that would be the most fantastic thing EVAR! And the Academy really loves me that much. Yeah, i'm crossing my fingers anyway.

 Errrggghhh, had to work on my model for 3D design today. It's really crappy (i do not construct things! adhghdjfg!) and cutting illustration board really, really sucks. Hurts my fingers. ("they call em fingers, but i never seen em fing. ...whoah, there they go!")

On the upside, while i was working i watched old episodes of The West Wing on Bravo (excellent!), and then Benny and Joon. Hurrah for tv! And Conan's anniversary special tonight was greeeeat. I love Conan SO. MUCH. My love knows no bounds!

Dude, i've been rambling on and on and ON about Alias in the LJ. It's really getting out of hand. Only reason i'm putting all that stuff over there is cause i don't wanna clog this thing with all the, uh, rambling. Not that it's stopped me before, but right now it really is a lot. Really. A lot. And even though i didn't watch Alias today (well, save for half of The Telling... but no dvds. The horror!), Carl Lumbly was on The West Wing (and Merrin Dungey for a SPLIT second in a 'previously'), and Jen was on the Conan special, and i keep noticing when the minutes hit '47' on my clock, and DEAR GOD i cannot escape this show. Not... that... that's... a... bad... thing.

 Just so you know, i've been doing up-to-date Alias DVD Watch commentary over at the LJ. If you feel like reading incoherent babbling and the like. Also: icons! I am so loving all this Alias watching. What with this, and the new promo pics, i have gotten sooo excited about the show again. Which ROCKS, because i haven't really been into it much in a long while. FangirlYAY!

Oh man, i cooked chicken last night, for the first time ever. I never ever ever cook, so this was fucking scary. At first i thought it would be fine and easy and all that, then i put the chicken in the pan and vegetable oil popped and shot out at me and started leaving little prickly burns all over me and i FEARED FOR MY LIFE. Luckily, no matter how bad you screw up the process, as long as it gets cooked, it's very hard to make chicken bad. I was very worried about undercooking it, but when i finished, it was TASTY! It tasted like regular chicken! So i was proud, AND i had a tasty meal! Yay. I'll need to refine my cooking process in the future, however, so it doesn't, oh, i don't know, involve me jumping away from the pan in mortal fear.

 Whew. Just watched Truth Be Told and finished writing up some stuff about it. Gah. Have i mentioned lately that i love Alias? Popping in that dvd and watching it was so unbelievably exciting for me that i almost, almost feel like TOO MUCH of a dork. Seriously, i was practically hopping out of my chair i was so giddy. It's just SO. COOL. to have all of s1 so clean and crisp and on shiny little discs that i can watch whenever i want. Sigh.

OH OH OH! And the new promo pics!! They are SO. PRETTY. Pretty lighting, pretty people... they're seriously like magazine spread quality. And you do know nothing makes me happy like pretty photos (besides, maybe, pretty DVDs.) But yes. Could today have been ANY more of an Alias day? *boggles*

I actually do still have a little bit of work to do for class tomorrow, too. MAN! That kind of screws me just a little bit. If i were majoring in Alias, i would be ALL SET. But noooo. Pshaw. Damn me and my procrastination for dorkish purposes! ARGH!

 Heyy. I've been home for the weekend (which includes tomorrow woo!) and... hm. It's okay. Have mostly been shopping a lot, spent millions of dollars on art supplies, you know. Last week went by horribly horribly slow, so i'm glad this coming week is at least abbreviated by a day.

Ooh! I've finally pre-ordered the Alias s1 dvds, so i am immensely looking forward to getting those sometime this week. Ahh season 1. How i love thee. And speaking of Alias, which, you know, i NEVER DO- saw new s3 promo tonight! Granted, it wasn't just Alias, but daaaamn. The little bit of new stuff they showed is, like, EEP! I've suddenly remembered what it's like to have a new season coming up and having absolutely no clue about what's going to happen. It gives me nauseous, giddy little butterflies.

So yeah. Anyway. Not looking forward to having class again after tomorrow, mostly because my first class back is 3D design- which i have already begun to loathe with a mighty passion- and it's at 8:30 in the morning. STAB STAB STAB
