half of what i say is meaningless

I finished my angry Lost essay that has been in the works for quite some time.  It's up at Critically Obsessed, but I will post a teaser here.  A very long teaser.  The essay is approximately 2000 words in total.

Disclaimer: If you really like Lost, you might not want to read this essay.

( Lost is fundamentally nonsensical )

1. After a few months of nothing, I have returned to the blogosphere.  You may read my reviews of Chuck Versus the Anniversary and Glee's Auditions at Critically Obsessed.  Or not, since they're mostly just prettified versions of my episode reaction posts on here.  Also at some point I will get off my ass and review Dexter, not to mention the next episodes of Chuck and Glee (short version: loved the latest Chuck, was profoundly bored by the latest Glee).  But as you may have noticed, I am a very lazy blogger.

But I do like to update this ol' thing with a bit more frequency, so...

2. I've decided to be Buffy for Halloween (with my friend who is going as Faith).  In honor of that, I've also decided to give this meme a shot!  I might not make it through all thirty days.  Or I might expedite the process like last time.  We'll see.

Day 1: Favorite Season

Season 3.  It's just classic Buffy.  It has everything--the heart of the team (Buffy, Willow, Xander, and Giles) and some Plus Ones (Angel, Oz, Cordelia...).  Angst and drama and character growth.  An amazing villain (Mayor Wilkins <3).  Great storylines.  And so intrinsically tied to the confusion of finishing high school.  It's pretty much just awesome.  There's only one episode that I would consider a 'bad' episode, and that's Dead Man's Party--and it's still pretty good (Giles mocks Americans!  Oz defines a hootenanny!  Zombies crash the party!).  So if that's the lowest point, the rest of the season has to be pretty damn great.  There's a reason visualthinker11  and I chose Season 3 for the hellmouth_vsds (which is that we love it, and also that Buffy and Angel really pile on the angst in this season).

Still need convincing?

Oh yeah, and 3. "God Is A DJ" came up on iTunes shuffle today and it made me ridiculously happy.  I'm so excited to have the Kara vidlet-a-thon and the All the Galactica Ladies Ficathon to look forward to!  Yay more gen Kara stuff!  I am hereby giving this post my every week is kara week tag.  It is my favorite tag.

Also 4. I got my intoabar  assignment and I have noooooo idea what I am going to write.  But it's cool.  I'll figure something out.

1. I need to rewatch "The Pandorica Opens" before Saturday, but somewhere between episodes 3 and 4 of Farscape I decided that I like this show and now I just want to watch the 5th episode.  Damn.  Why can't I just watch TV all day instead of working?  I am henceforth giving Farscape a tag.

2. Speaking of "The Pandorica Opens," my review is here on Critically Obsessed (that blog I've been talking about).  And if anyone didn't know which of the reviewers I was before now, this post should make it obvious.

3. I think I have actually finished my pilotsbigbang  fic.

4. Ghana is advancing to the second round and France is not.  This is officially my favorite men's World Cup ever.  And by "ever" I mean since 2002, since that was when I decided to give men's soccer a chance (I was all women's all the time before then).  Nothing against France.  I just enjoy upsets, and South Africa beating France was lovely news indeed.
