OMG

OMFG!
Smallville season 4 started. I've been expecting it a bit ever since I found out Jensen Ackles was gonna be on it but the reality is even better! Oh he is sooo sweet as the assistant football coach. Only downside is that he's romancing Lana but I can live with it :)
Roll on 22 episodes of bliss...

New Shoes

Ooohh.. I have new shoes. Raspberry/pink Converse trainers - mmmmmm pretty!
They just might be the prettiest shoes I have ever owned. Almost too scared to wear them...

Still not well, this fracking cold just does not want to go away! So Kleenex is my best friend this week, I reckon they make good money out of me this week.
*sigh*

Whenever I'm unwell I seem to buy stuff, splashed out on some stuff from thinkgeek.com, all good though, you can never have too much stuff!

Sorry for the ramble by the way, but my head's just not really organised and all that today...

Found a new band, they are called Awestruck. Only just started listening them, so not a lot to report, but they are interesting enough to warrant a mention. I'll put them on the iPod and listen tomorrow, will come back and let you know what I think.

Oh, went to the movies yesterday, Monsters vs. Aliens - hilarious! Utterly lovable and funny and moving and whatnot... I haven't laughed that much in a long time. It was just.. so delightful.

Twitter is becoming so very addictive. It's strange, I didn't think much of it at the beginning, but boy, does one get seriously addicted to it!

Trying to slow down on the Supernatural front, simply because I will run out of episodes to watch soon! S4 is coming out on DVD soon though, but they are releasing it in two parts, so hmm - not too pleased about that. Means I have to wait to buy BOTH parts. Hm. Not fun.

Watched an episode of Smallville today, still the same, *sigh*. Oh, but I discovered something: In Smallville, season 4 we are introduced to Jason Teague - played none other than Mr Jensen Ackles! Now, I bet it's not as mouth-watering an experience as watching him in SN, but hey, I'm not one to turn down eyecandy! He actually graces my desktop at work and [finally] my colleagues seem to appreciate my taste in men! I mean in the 4 months I have worked there, I have had numerous fine specimens on my desktop but Jensen as Dean Winchester is the first one to warrant a second glance! I reckon I'll keep him there for a bit then :)

Oh and back to Smallville, I just don't like Lana! I keep saying this I know, but I just do not see the point in her. She's a whinging and sniveling little minx, stringing Clark along. Not nice. I'm told she gets awesome in the later series, but I don't think I'll ever warm up to her.

Ho hum.

Jumping all over the place tonight... :)

I love statistics. Take Last.fm for example. you can get almost any kind of stats about your music! You can list them by artist (Anberlin 1015 plays); song (Sex on fire 92 plays) or even album (CiWWAF Rotation 359 plays)! Then you can do weekly, monthly or overall statistics. It compares your taste in music to other users. And so on.
I like it - makes me exponentially happy!

Smallville

Back to Smallville - on s3 at the moment. I find it hard to concentrate on it, only manage a couple of episodes in one go. It's frustrating really, for the first two seasons seemed that the story never really moves forward, some improvement here already, but still - it's too open-ended for my liking. Too many characters to follow, Clark and Lana, Pete, Chloe, not to mention Lex and his dad and all the other people, hard to keep track cause there's just never enough explained about their involvement.


But I admit, it is very entertaining, I do find myself strangely drawn to it. I can't help but to compare this to Roswell (of course..), which has a fixed story arc, a complete storyline to follow start to end and a very strong team of characters. Each character has been written as complete, we don't see one-episode-only villains, come to think of it, we see no one-episode charaters at all in Roswell. Smallville is full of this, every single episode sees a new character to follow, then they go away and you forget about them.
And why it is that I can quote lines verbatim from Roswell, but none from Smallville?
Well, we will see - I have 5 seasons to see yet, and who knows, maybe they make more?
But I can't watch it all back to back, so I have to find something else to watch in between...
