 So... school starts tomorrow. I only have one class for the day, but it's with my least favorite teacher. And i'm not looking forward to dealing with parking. Ugh. ONLY TWO SEMESTERS LEFT EVER.

I watched the Six Feet Under finale even though i hadn't watched any of this season or the end of last season. I generally knew what was going on, though, not that it mattered a whole lot (i mean, you can pretty much figure it out. Yep, the Fishers are still fucked up! Okay, i'm caught up.) It was SO FUCKING SAD. And, like, happy, but happy-SAD! Aw, man. CLAIRE. And NATE. And DAVID/KEITH! I cried like a little bitch.

I was also freaked out that not only was there a clip of Just Shoot Me with Enrico Colantoni (Daddy Mars!), but David also mentioned Harry Hamlin (Aaron fucking Echolls!) YOU CANNOT ESCAPE VERONICA MARS.

GOD, I'M STILL CHOKED UP. The ending! With the Sia song! And... the things that happened! SFU may have gotten sort of annoying and not as good as it started out, but it could be really fucking poignant and beautiful and painful and, i don't know, very comforting in a way.

 So i just finished season one of Veronica Mars and... holy shit. Just, HOLY SHIT. The last two episodes were mind-bogglingly good. (in addition to the entire season, of course, but... HOLY SHIT! I accidentally typed HOLY SHIRT there first, i thought you should know.) Prettiness! Shippiness! Intrigue! Hilarity! Angst! Violence! Seriously fucked up shit that is just so GOOD you can't help but love it and also have your heart ripped out at the same goddamn time!

I'm really sad it's all over now. I was enjoying having a little mini-marathon every night, and now the mystery is solved, and that's... CRAZY! I feel so empty now. What will i do? Where will i go? How will they ever have another mystery that is as integral to the characters as this one was? HOW WILL IT EVER BE AS GOOD??!? And, of course, UPN just HAD to move its timeslot to Wednesdays at 9 pm. What's that? Eh? DIRECTLY OPPOSITE LOST?? You fuckers. Well, at least i'll get to continue downloading and watching it without commercials. And i'll ignore all the VM freaking out on livejournal just like i always did! (except now i actually CARE. Sob.) I still resent the fandom, though. Yes, i finally watched and i agree it's a really good show! NOW STOP RUBBING IT IN MY FACE.

Hoooooo. Okay, those dvds are way too far away.

ANNNNNNNNYway. Changing the subject. The past two nights i've watched the first two Alien movies over again. It's been a while since i saw them, and they're really good, and every time i go on The Great Movie Ride at MGM (as i did on Friday!) i want to re-watch Alien. So... i did! Man, the first one is still so FUCKING SCARY and the second one is so kickass, i love them. They have, quite possibly, the best usages of the word "bitch" ever. EVER. Ripley... is awesome. And Sigourney Weaver is so! pretty! La la laaaa twirl. I can even fangirl creepy-ass sci-fi movies.

 I've watched the first nine episodes of Veronica Mars in the past two nights. It seemed a little slow at first (maybe because i already knew the basic plot because YOU CANNOT AVOID THE FUCKING FANDOM) and i was just kind of casually watching it, but the characters really grew on me and then there started to be insane WTF NO WAY WTF revelations every episode! And i'm sure i'm not even into the really crazy shit yet. But... WTF!! Veronica is super pretty, and i love Wallace. And it simply will not stop freaking me out that she sounds exactly like Chloe Sullivan. Even Kristen Bell's voice, and the things she says and the way she says them- it's Chloe except a thousand trillion infinity times better written than Smallville! I really like having all the episodes and watching one after another, it's very nice to just keep going uninterrupted. The theme song is STUCK IN MY HEAD AND WILL NOT GET OUT. It's possible that i chair-dance along to the intro, but you have no evidence to back that up.

 The Notebook is an evil, evil movie. All i've ever heard about it, over and over again, is how much of a tearjerker it is, and i knew, I KNEW. There is like an unseen force that pulls the tears from your eyes. You cannot control it. Of course it was incredibly sappy, but hearing so much about it, i kind of had to finally watch it. Holy hell, Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling are so absurdly pretty and have so much chemistry it's unnatural. UNNATURAL.

I must be having some sort of Rachel McAdams moviefest too, because i just watched Mean Girls last night (hilaaaaaarious. Oh man, so many girly movies! WHAT IS UP.) She is really pretty, did you know?

But GOD. Fucking... THE NOTEBOOK! WHAT THE FUCK. THAT WAS THE MOST DEPRESSING THING I'VE EVER SEEN. Absolutely horrible. Horrible.

 I was almost having a really good day until my dad had to make one tiny comment about me dating (or... not. dating.) Thanks! I NEED TO START WORKING ON MY COLLECTION OF CATS OR RISK DYING ALONE. CATS! I WILL BE SURROUNDED BY CATS ON MY DEATHBED.

I watched Ghostbusters 2 today, because watching the first one on vacation got me really obsessed all of the sudden. It's like watching them as i get older just makes me appreciate them more and more (Ghostbusters is exactly as old as i am! THAT IS SO WEIRD.) And i never really paid much attention to how absolutely great Pete/Dana is. And just how much Venkman is my hero. And... i dunno, man, my love for Bill Murray is bordering on unhealthy and just weird. I WANT GHOSTBUSTERS 3. Even though it's impossible and it would suck and... i don't CARE, new Ghostbusters would be fucking awesome.

Then i went out on a bike ride this evening, which was nice except that once you finally stop, all that heat and exhaustion that you couldn't notice while you were riding hits you at once. So then i went in the pool. And then House was on! And i just finished eating a bowl of chocolate ice cream with chocolate sprinkles! Ahhh. Life can be pretty okay sometimes.

Why do i always leave the things i should have been doing all summer until the LAST WEEK?

 I just finished watching Long Way Round, and that was pretty much the best reality show i've ever seen. Well, not even a reality show, it was really a documentary, wasn't it? The whole thing was so hilarious (I THOUGHT YOU WERE A FUCKIN' BEAR!) and stressful and sad and heartwarming and amazing, and i don't think i could love Ewan (and fuckin' Charlie!) any more than i do. I had so much fun watching it, too, i don't want it to be over! MUST HAVE DVDS.

I'll miss hearing Ewan say "Mongolia" and "the Road of Bones" the most. Mongoolia and the Rood a' Boones.

I got a new desk chair today! My old one over at my apartment is very loud and the cushioning is almost completely worn out (toooooo much sitting). This new one is so soft it practically feels like a recliner! EXCELLENT. Many hours of sitting lie ahead.

I also started playing Katamari Damacy on PS2 tonight after watching my older brother play, and holy crap that game is like pretty, bizarrely hilarious CRACK. I had always been intrigued by the ridiculously awesome box design, and the game itself is fucking odd and fun and crazy addictive (with catchy music!). It's incredibly simple but kind of really hard too. Oh man. Awesome. Why am i just starting to play NOW THAT SUMMER IS OVER??

 Holy shit, new Serenity trailer! It's so odd to see the building promotion, but... already having seen the movie itself. Still exciting as hell, though. OMG FIREFLY!!!@*(&

So, that Harry Potter book, huh? I was fucking depressed yesterday. I've adjusted more today, but... it just drains you, you know? Exact same thing happened when i finished OotP. I don't want to wait years for the next one! And i don't want it to be THE LAST ONE! Oh god. That's gonna suuuuuuuck. Anyway, very extended, very spoilery thoughts here.

I've fallen very much in love with House, and Tuesday has become my favorite night of the week for the summer! It's nice, because it's like, the only new thing for me to watch right now. I had a dream last night that it somehow got cancelled, and i was sad. And then i was at a clinic in the middle of the night (not the clinic from the show, just a clinic) and Chase and Cameron were treating me and we became fast friends. Uhhhhhhhhh... okay!

 Well, that was probably the most devastating thing i've ever read.
