 So i got a retainer today. Oh yes, a retaaaaaainer. I've had braces and retainers and wires and all sorts of orthodontic crap on and off forever, but it's been a while since i've had something i have to wear all the time like this. And now i look like i'm twelve years old again. Wheeeeee! Hey guys let's have a sleepover and play truth or dare! I'm renting Titanic! Also, now i have a lisp because i'm not used to it yet. That's right, you wish you were me.
But, then, i do love quoting Syd... "Do i look like i'm in junior high? Braces on my teeth... headgear... Do you SEE a retainer?" AHAHAHA i amuse myself ENDLESSLY.
Hmm... i need to watch some Alias dvds. I haven't watched them at all, except for the special features on the last disc. Gotta start reliving s2 and all that wacky S/V and Irina FUN!

Hee, i had almost forgotten how much Pirates of the Caribbean rocks. Okay, i hadn't, but still... it DOES rock. (oh yeah, and it's another dvd from Christmas. Except my mom got it instead of me. But no matter, i can still abscond with it and make precious, precious capsssss) While i was watching it, the whole time i was ogling for shots i want to cap. Man, it's like a DISEASE.
And dudes, i watched the Alias dvd gag reel as well as the extended one last night, and man, that shit is HILARIOUS. My favorite thing ever in the history of anything is: "This is my impression of the pope." BWAHAHAHA! I nearly died from the hilarity. And i also love "it's like a... fuckin'... monkey!" and "custardy" and Jen running into the fence and Ron whispering that David is an asshole. Hee! Basically everything is gold. Comedy GOLD.

Well, Christmas was good (and i actually managed to get my shopping done! rawk). Got lotsa nifty swag, looooots of dvds... that's right, Alias s2 and Firefly are MINE AT LAST!!! Ohhh they're so shiny and pretty. I may have fawned over them a little bit. Okay, a lot. Dude, the Alias packaging is SWANK. The design is fucking awesome- the transparent cover, prophecy girl on the box, the pictures on the individual boxes (negative space!)- it's all soooo much prettier than the s1 dvds. And it just makes me HAPPY to look at the dvds and see "The Counteragent" and "Phase One" and "The Telling" written on there- dude, i have them! AH! Same with Firefly (dude, the Mal box cover is my faaaavorite. MAL!) and i get to see the unaired episodes in full dvd quality instead of tiny and gross on my computer and I AM SO HAPPY.
I watched Down With Love tonight (just got that, too- along with TTT extended edition and X2- i told you, lots of glorious, glorious dvds) and ah, i haven't mentioned lately that I Love Ewan, have i? Well, i do. A lot. The blooper reel was fucking HILARIOUS. He's a wonderful, wonderful man, that Ewan. I can't wait to see Big Fish.
Annnnd speaking of blooper reels, i think it's about time i watched the Alias one, wouldn't you say? Yes. Yes, i think so.

I just watched my first episode of Farscape evar! I've been meaning to see it for a very long time, and lately i've even started saving pictures from the show without, you know, ever having actually WATCHED it before. It doesn't help that Sci-Fi never reruns it anymore, but tonight they finally showed an episode and i finally remembered to watch. Woo! So yeah, most of the time i didn't know what was going on, but John is hot, and Aeryn is hot, and so i enjoyed it. Also, up until a few months ago, i had no idea that "frell" originated on Farscape. Heh. Any space show that makes up its own swear words (*cough*FIREFLY) is okay in my book.
Dude, i finally started Christmas shopping. Today. Uh huh, i rock.
You know what? I want to see RotK again. HAHAHA I AM INSATIABLE. I went back and re-read bits of Fellowship last night, and it got me all nostalgic. It's so good. I don't want it to be over. Nooooo! *clings*

Just saw RotK again. Sigh. Love. Except now i have that horrible, depressing emptiness, you know, from when you see something really really good, and even though it makes you happy, once it's over you don't want it to be. Yeah, that. It sucks. But it was still so, so good, and i love it very, very much. Dude, the CREDITS got me weepy this time. Uh huh. It's just, that Annie Lennox song is perfect. It makes me sad.
Lovelovelove. LotR? LOVE.
And they showed the Spidey trailer this time. The day after i watched it on my computer. Heh. But yeah, still looks awesome. Gah.
- 8:54 PM
DUDE. I just finally saw the Spider-Man 2 teaser trailer. GAH. AJHDFKASJHFGLJAHFG HOLY SHIT IT'S GONNA KICK ASS. I mean... dude. That's all i can say, really. DUDE. It seems like such a long time since the last one. I was graduating high school back then. MAN, that's insane. SPIDEEEEY!!! I MISSED YOU!!

So, that LotR thing, huh? Yeah. That rocked. I'm amazed that the absurd length of it didn't get to me, but then, i shouldn't really be surprised, what with the ass-kicking and all. It's so strange that it's all over, because the last two it's just been "more to look forward to! can't wait! woo!" And i've loved it being the holiday season and reading the books and going to see the movies. And now... no more. Sadsadsad. And of course, it's got me thinking back on FotR, and getting obsessed in the beginning... when i first saw Legolas in the trailers and was all "hey, who's that blonde guy? he's pretty." Heh. And then reading like a maniac and not seeing it until a week after it came out because i haaaad to finish the book. And the INSANE giddiness of it all... ahhh. Waxing nostalgic on the beginning of obsessions is so fun.
More specific, spoilery thoughts on RotK over at the LJ... but what it really boils down to is: everyone is my HERO and i LOVE IT and it's SO PRETTY and I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT AGAIN. Yeah, i think that about covers it.
Do you want to hear something that will make you feel better about yourself? I still haven't started Christmas shopping. Oh yes. WITNESS MY FEARSOME PROCRASTINATION. I also have a dentist appointment tomorrow. Uhm... can i just go see the movie again? Thanks.

Have seen it. GAAAAAAAAAH. Uhm. GAAAAAAAAH. Dude. I can't believe it's over. And... just... ITSSOGOODLOVELOVELOVE. And i find it hilarious that seeing a single movie took up the majority of my day. HEH.
SKHALJHFDGFSLJHG!!!!!!

TOMORROW TOMORROW TOMORROW!! Except it's actually TODAY TODAY TODAY!! ROTK!!! AHHHH! Finished the book tonight (dude, i totally devoured that thing with my EYES. I only started it on Saturday. Yeah. I am awesome.) and i saw a new commercial for it just now and i totally recognize the stuff that's going on and it looks so fucking cool and... and... OMG IT'S SO EXCITING. ADFASGFD!!

DUDE. So i'm home, and my house is completely different. Except not completely, but my parents changed, like, a lot. We had been planning on painting my room (red! oooooh. it's just one wall, but it's hella awesome) so i was kind of expecting that to be done. But they also rearranged it so most everything is in a different place, except my tv and desk. Dude, my bed hasn't been in a different place since the house got remodeled when i was in fourth grade. It's INSANE. And they redid the bathroom, too- it's much prettier, and in the color scheme that i picked out (olive/bright-ish green and tan to go with the red). It's all very pretty, it's just really taking some adjusting.
AND there's a huge new cabineted "entertainment center" for the tv in the living room. AND we're getting new furniture this week. AND they got a Christmas tree and mom decorated it BORING! Like, every year we use the multi-colored lights and all the family ornaments we've collected/made over the years. But this year it's white lights and plain silver ornaments and ribbon! It looks like a fucking readymade department store Christmas tree. I'm so disappointed. Mom said she wanted to do something different and didn't want to go through the trouble of getting the ornaments down from the attic, but... but... it's tradition! And change scares me! AGGH.
EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT! AND IT'S ONLY BEEN TWO WEEKS SINCE I WAS HERE LAST! It's wiggity wiggity whack, yo.
BUT, i have the old dvd player that used to be in the living room in my room now, and that is awesome. Because i will be requiring it after Christmas. For a certain couple of dvd sets. IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, AND I THINK YOU DO.

The semester is over! OVEROVEROVER!!! Ohhhh yes. It's exciting. Going home tomorrow, and i get to bring my computer with me! Huzzah! No withdrawl for me!
Dude, i have so much stuff to do, though. Okay, not really. But i have to read aaaaallll of RotK by WEDNESDAY, because i refuse to see the movie without reading the book first, and i of course haven't started on the book. AGGGH! I can't believe it'll be over so soon. Sad. But yes, must read non-stop, starting... tomorrow. I'm freakin' out.
I also really need to do Christmas shopping. Like, A LOT. Like, i have no gifts OR gift ideas for anyone yet. At all. Craaaap. HOW is everything so soon already?? I swear this semester ended way too late.
And, uhm, i'm still obsessing over not having the Alias s2 dvds yet. It shouldn't be this big of a deal, cause dude, it's not like i haven't seen season two. But... commentaries! Gag reel! Screen caps! Deleted scenes! Extra shippiness! I AM GOING TO DIE. It's reeeally not helping that it's so long until another new episode. Wantwantwant! *grabby hands* AND, okay, so Christmas is gonna rock because of the dvds, but i'm getting Firefly and X2 at the EXACT SAME TIME, and that's... just... overload. I really didn't plan it out too well. There'll be SO much capping and obsessing to do, and i just can't handle it all at the same time. Sigh. It's a hard life, my friends.

Dude, for the past three days i've been getting out of bed at around 2. In the afternoon. GAAAH. I'm such a moron. I actually wake up around noon, but then i go back to sleep, because apparently i can procrastinate doing just about anything. Sleeping away most of your day is really odd.
So yeah, the only classes i have to go to this week are my last two finals, both art critiques (meh). I reeeeally need to get to work on my final model for my design class, because it's kind of gonna take some time, but i definitely, uh, haven't worked on it at all. Good stuff.
Ooh, but not having class on a Monday after new Alias is fantastic. Well, not having class is always fantastic, but yeah. Loved the ep last night, which is good because it's a fucking MONTH till anything new. *whimper* Anyway, it's all about the Wiiiiiilllll!

Well, Thanksgiving was delicious. I managed to get a cold from my younger brother, and my nose- by some miracle of physics- is now both stuffed and running. I feel like crap. The weather finally got cold! It only took until the END OF NOVEMBER. Ah, Florida. Watched James Bond movies for two days straight (Pussy Galore! Plenty O'Toole! You can take your subtlety and SHOVE IT!) It was lotsa fun.
Right now i'm just sort of... meh. Don't wanna be back at school, but then, i don't have a whole lot left to do before it's time for winter break.
Alias last night was definitely on the crack. But i enjoyed it, because, uhm... well, i always do. And i love the pretty, whacked-out dreams. And Syd/Vaughn. And Vaughn/Jack. And DRUGS.
Ooh, and speaking of Alias, while i was gone i taped the first of the two episodes of Friends that Melissa George is in and watched it yesterday. It's funny, because i've seen lots of stuff she's in, but it was all before she was Mrs. Vaughn, so it meant nothing. Heh. But yeah, in spite of my meh-ness for Lauren, i haaaave to watch stuff that has anyone from the Alias cast. It's like a DISEASE. And i'm always weirdly proud and happy to see them in other things. Like they're my... children, or something. Oh, i'm a freak.
