Oh, me. I keep forgetting to post this... I made it like two weeks ago. So silly.
Anyway. I made a vid! About my very favourite pineapple ever, Det. Carlton Lassiter. It's pretty bare-bones, but it is my very first vid ever, which I made for a Multimedia & Communications course... I wasn't really up to tempting fate by bringing the complexities of Sony Vegas into it. But enough with the excuses! On to the vid.

At some point I really need to do an overhaul of my icons. I keep revolving through my two Psych icons -- one of Shawn and one of Lassie.

If you were wondering what that high-pitched sound ringing in your ears was, heh, sorry. That was me.
Due to this.
Ohemgee. Sofuckinghappy.
It really doesn't take much to make my day, so this made my whole goddamn week.
I need more Psych icons like I need things that I need.
Currently working on Shawn/Lassie season 1 picspam (to be followed by seasons two and three and at some point four and FIVE BITCHES BECAUSE OMG if it ends up being fun).

I finished my first Multimedia & Communications project -- an ad, in my case for Psych -- last night, and this morning I tweaked it a bit to turn it into a wallpaper. So, y'know, here it is.



I found that there was a severe shortage of nice Psych wallpapers. Actually, there's a severe shortage of Psych wallpapers, period. There are pretty much no nice Psych wallpapers. This makes me sad. Psych needs a bigger fandom.
...
Scratch that, I don't want a bigger fandom for Psych. I want it all to myself. I stumbled across a discussion of this Friday's upcoming episode the other day and... lord love a duck, I don't understand how anyone could be so anal retentive about a comedy. We're talking the level of flak that CSI gets for being inaccurate... only for Psych. I just... I just don't get it.

I'm sick again and staying in rez instead of going to class, because my university is so alarmist about H1N1 that somebody with my symptoms -- a pretty bad cough, and the tendancy to get feverish and fatigued when I'm not huddled up in bed -- would be kicked out of class. Nevermind that it's the same thing I had last year.
Of course, it's possible that last year I had the flu. Doctor never said exactly what it was.

Anyway, I'm gonna go watch Bones and Glee now.

Hell yeah I am. Man, how long has it been? Probably quite a lengthy amount of time. I can't say I'm enthusiastic about checking exactly how long, so let's leave it at that.
So, well, we already know that I am going to talk about television. This is a given.

On the non-TV front, everything's going pretty awesome. I'm in a different residence this year, an upper year residence that's really quiet and private -- much like my new roommate. She's been gone for the past three days and I didn't even notice because there was no difference in behaviour. Which is not necessarily 100% awesome, but it's better than having a totally crazy roommate who parties at all hours. I switched from a Science major to a Math major this year, and it feels a lot more natural, it comes a lot easier to me. I've got some computer science courses thrown in there too, which are working out surprisingly well. I mean, I knew I was pretty handy with computers but not to this degree. Maybe it'll get harder later.

Anyway. I'm going to continue working on my Lassie vid. Ciao.

For the purposes of reccing vids from BAM Vid Vault. It kinda sucks that non-members can only view the videos if they're embedded.

Chances are if you're a Merlin fan you've already seen this, but it made me flail with ridiculous joy and brought me no end of glee, so I was duty-bound to pass it on.



I know, I keep updating very briefly and very seldom. To give you some substance, it's two months into my summer break and thanks to the economy and my complete lack of job experience, I do not have a job yet. Kind of frustrating.
I keep picking up new shows, and I really shouldn't, because I already have way too many shows. Right now I'm really into Jericho and Heroes, finishing up the first seasons of both. I am currently working on my first-ever fanvid, which shall be about Jake, the lead from Jericho. If you'd told me a month ago that my first ever fanvid was going to be for Jericho, of all shows, I never would have believed you.

It has been just AGES since I've posted, so wouldn't you just know it: I'm copping out and posting a meme. Yeah. Well.

Pick your five favorite TV shows (in no particular order) and answer the following questions. Don't cheat!

1. Better Off Ted
2. How I Met Your Mother
3. Bones
4. Avatar: the Last Airbender
5. Chuck

This shows an interesting reflection of how my tastes in TV have changed. A couple months ago, this would have been filled with House and Prison Break and yadda, what a drama-llama I was. Now it's all about the comedies.
Tomorrow I have my first ever job interview. Tim Hortons. Wish me luck.

Hey, what's up, so today I'm going to talk about House. This is all incredibly spoiler-y, both concretely and hypothetically, so ~beware~.
I'd like to address THAT spoiler. You know the one. And if you don't, you probably shouldn't be reading this at all, since your lack of knowledge suggests a lack of desire to acquire said knowledge ahead of time. Which, you know, more power to you. But I'm a spoiler junkie.( Spoilers for House 5x24 (plus random Bones season 3 finale spoiler) )

ETA: I've just realized that I made an incredibly stupid error of reasoning in the above content, and have changed it to reflect this realization. Um, just so you know that I am no longer stupid. Or at least, less stupid than I was before.

You know what I've just noticed? My favourite show for a long time now has been "Chuck", but I've never really talked about it at all. That's bizarre. I don't have time tonight, but I will definitely come back soon and break it down Chuck-style.

I've just realized that I haven't posted an entry in quite a while. So here I am.
Today I would like to talk about the wonderful world of Bryan Fuller. Poor, brilliant man. Keeps creating amazing, creative TV series, only to have them canceled before they've had the chance to get comfy. I finally got off my ass a month or so ago and watched Pushing Daisies, quickly followed by Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me. Fierce spoilers to follow.

( Wonderfalls )

( Dead Like Me & 2009 Companion Movie )

Spurred by "Pushing Daisies" and "Wonderfalls", I was inspired to seek out the rest of Lee Pace's filmography. He has been climbing my rankings of favourite actors like some psychotic spider monkey, to the point that I am seriously considering giving him the top spot. So far I've seen The Fall and Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day. No spoilers.

The Fall -- I'm going to sound like such a broken record here. I've sure you've heard it before: it's visually FANTASTIC. The words, they are insufficient to describe it. So I'm not even going to try. I just knew that Lee Pace was going to make me cry with fictional things, and sure enough, he did -- I sobbed like a baby. There is such a wonderful rapport between him and the actress who played Alexandria. I loved the Wizard of Oz-like spin they put on the story, how people from their real life had counterparts in the story, and real life intertwined with the story tighter and tighter until you couldn't tell one from the other. Really beautiful movie. I definitely recommend it.

Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day -- I watched this on the train from home to my connection in Toronto. Such a lovely movie, I liked it a lot. Amy Adams and Lee Pace is a movie match that dreams are made of, honestly. I went in with fairly low expectations -- for some reason I likened it to Nanny McPhee? Not sure why, Frances McDormand looks nothing like the uglified Emma Thompson. PEOPLE OF THE LAND. You must know this: Lee Pace sings in this movie. And plays the piano. While I was watching, I assumed that he was just pretending to play, but I read somewhere today that he actually learned to play the songs. When did pianists get so sexy? I'm almost tempted to start up again. Almost. (FUN FACT: I got up to grade 10 Royal Conservatory piano before relaxing into recreational practice, and then dropping it entirely.) This movie (and now its soundtrack) has charmed me. I always appreciate when Lee gets to show off a little bit more range, as in The Fall; in Miss Pettigrew, his character is equal parts passionate to the point of rage, and infectiously enthusiastic.

I'm going to watch Religulous -- really looking forward to it, too -- and then go to bed. Ta.
