Finished!

Finished Roswell last night.
It was just so good - Max & Liz finally getting married, Michael admitting he can never love another girl but Maria, that he has never wanted anyone else, despite all the stupid stuff he's said and done. And Maria finally making up her mind to stay with Michael. I just love the whole Michael/Maria storyline, they are my absolute favourite characters (well him more than her, but they come as a package, lol). Although, I have to admit I was thawing towards Max the end :)

And the surprise factor that it's Kyle, not Jesse who goes with them to exile.

Brilliant stuff.

So, now I got that out of the way, I can watch other stuff again, like Smallville :)

will keep you posted

You guessed it - Roswell!

This is from s3 ep12, when Maria starts to pursue her music career, and sings the song she wrote about Michael. A bit earlier she runs off to tell Michael the good news that a talent scout wants her to sing a demo. They end up sleeping together and Michael thinks this means they are back as before, and is hurt when Maria brushes it off as 'just a spontaneous thing'. Ah, the drama... anyways, Maria goes into the studio and records the song below, when the A&R people decide to remix the track into a more dance-y one, she gets upset as she has clearly written the song from the heart and well, it is about Michael after all...
I like it, Ms Delfino wrote the song herself for the series, I believe it has been released on record as well.

You're like an angel with the sweetest smile
But when you use it you're one evil child
Oh oh, that's what brings me back again

We get along but only half the time
The other half you ain't no friend of mine
No oh, that's what brings me back again

I love you on your best behavior
I love you more when you are doing something wrong
But that's what wrong with me

You said you liked it yesterday
And now you're telling me I can't stay
It's all your crazy messed up ways
That bring me back
That bring me back
That bring me back
You bring me back

Roswell - again!

You just have to bear with me until I'm finished watching it!

I'm on season 3 now. It's a bit weird, I can see that they are consciously trying to veer the story away from school, but it lacks the same drama as the first two series. There's less Michael & Maria stuff, Max & Liz are just a bit strange, Isabel is almost a different person altogether!
But, the ones I finished this morning seem to get back in the swing of things. Isabel gets married, rejects Kivar's affections and sends him back home alone, she decides not to tell Jesse she's an alien and *shock* Maria breaks up with Michael!!!!!!!
It was cute watching Michael get completely off whack with jealousy over Maria's old flame, Billy. It's heartbreaking when he sees them together at her house and she's singing! The last time she did any music was at Alex's funeral, so this was a big deal.
Then Billy goes away, and he's all happy again, except that she wants to talk. And then she drops the bombshell: 'I wanna break up'. Oh, I nearly cried... She says (and this is where is gets sooo achingly beautiful) 'I want out because I love you so much. I love you more than you will ever know'. And he asks: 'Will you come back to me?', to which Maria says 'I don't know.'
The people who write this stuff are freaking geniuses, talk about leaving the audience hanging!

*Sigh*
I am such a hopeless romantic, this stuff just melts my heart... OK, I know it's only fictional and everything, but still...

Ah yes, Roswell... again.

So, I got the whole lot on DVD, right. It's what, 22 episodes in a season, and I have gone through 2 seasons in less than 2 weeks. That averages 3 episodes a day =)

Obessed, me? Never!

Difficult not to. I didn't really watch it the first time round on TV, so wasn't sure what to expect. The first couple of episodes were nice, but when I really got hooked was the one where Michael and Maria went on that roadtrip and you sort of knew that they were going to be together at some point. The whole Max-Liz romance is a little too sickly for my liking, I'm not a fan. And the whole Max-Tess scenario... well I always thought she was a bitch!

I can't help but compare this with Smallville, which I also have on DVD (seasons 1-7). Clark in Smallville is just a little too naive, he doesn't seem to have an actual life you know, whereas these teens are a lot more believable.

Last season to go now, a little apprehensive, as then there won't be any more! Well, guess I just have to watch it all over again then won't I :)

When Soph-ie comes round again in the summer, we can watch it together and compare notes!

Roswell etc

Why is everyone so superstitious about Fri 13th? It's just another day, right? I'm not really superstitious at all, you know the black cats and walking under ladders stuff - none of that. Just another day, honest.

What I have eaten today:

1 rasberry yogurt

2 cups of coffee (milk, one sugar)

one M&S prawn-layer-salad-thingy

1 Kinder egg

Not a lot actually, and have been doing super well with the coffee intake too!

I have spent exactly £12.35 today - bit more than usually, but this includes the train ticket. Speaking of which, it's a fucking disgrace that SE trains charges me £4 just for the trip between London Bridge and Lewisham - I mean what's that all about? Just because I'm on a schedule tonight I paid it, but next time I won't.

Trying to wean myself off carrying a bag around, simply cos I will fill it with crap anyway, so been carrying around just essential stuff - here's what's with me today (so far):

iPod

Oyster card

Keys

Book (Lord of the Isles 2: Queen of Demons)

Purse - contents of which are:

phone

Chapstick (apple flavour)

paperclip (wtf?)

rubber hairband

£12.86

stamps

train ticket

debit card, nectar card, body shop member card, GAME member card, Starbucks card, Borders giftcard

numerous receipts

My god woman, you call these essentials? Jeez, that's ... a bit much I think.

Oh and yes, I obviously don't have any work to do today :)

Finished Roswell season 2 last night, that was like the most tragically romantic episode ever! 'There's a lot about you Maria...but the best thing is you're so open. When I look in your eyes, I see you', ' Do you even love her? Not as much as I love you'.. oohhhh *swoon*.

Honest to god, I think I am regressing, I am so totally obsessed with these teenage-superheroes-but-still-highschool-kids type of shows (see Smallville). Michael is my favourite character, I think Max is just too... I don't know, too controlled maybe. Michael is the one who acts on impulse and messes stuff up because of it, but he's just oh so very nice! Oh and don't get me started on the whole Michael - Maria relationship - I mean Romeo and Juliet have nothing on those two!
