Jamie's Ramblings

I imported all of my entries over from LiveJournal last night. Amazed at how painless it was, only took a few minutes.

I watched Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars last night and, zomg, EPIC! Loved it.

( spoilery thoughts under here )

I can't believe it's over. How they could cancel that show with all of the dren that's still on the air is beyond me. I know there's been talk about webisodes for a couple of years now. I hope they eventually do that, 'cause I need more.

I re-watched 2 first season episodes today (Exodus From Genesis for farscaperewatch  and DNA Mad Scientist, just because) and it was funny because for a moment I thought, Gee... it seems like I just saw these and then I realized, Oh... I did. Watching all 88 episodes plus the 3hr mini-series in 3 weeks, I felt a little bit crazy, lol, but I just saw a convention clip from Claudia Black's panel at a past Dragon*Con on youtube and somebody there said that they watched the whole thing in 2 weeks. Nice to know there's somebody more insane than I am. :)

And I realized yesterday that I'd been properly brainwashed when the very first thing out of my mouth after I woke up (when I dropped something on the floor) was, unintentionally, "Frell!"

I'm 30 episodes and 1 week into my Farscape addiction (and I finally made an icon for it *points*). I'll probably be done with the series in less than 2 weeks if I continue at this pace... which I believe would definitely be the fastest I've ever consumed an entire show, lol. So far my favorite episodes are: Till The Blood Runs Clear, The Flax, A Human Reaction, Crackers Don't Matter, and The Way We Weren't.

John and Aeryn seem to have no concept of personal space and I love them for it. This, of course, leads me to another mini picspam, because they're just too pretty.

I got Martina McBride's new album (Shine) tonight and it's already on it's 4th time around (which means I really like it), lol. So far, my favorite songs are Wrong Baby Wrong Baby Wrong, Sunny Side Up, Walk Away, What Do I Have To Do, Don't Cost A Dime, Ride, You're Not Leaving Me, and Lies. Shh, I know I just named like 3/4 of the songs. I guess if I would have to pick one favorite it would be Wrong Baby Wrong Baby Wrong.

But yeah, ♥.

Had an amusing moment tonight where I tried to explain to my mother that when Randy Jackson said somebody's performance on AI was "dope", that it was actually a good thing. As far as tonight's ep goes, loved Danny's peformance (as always). I also think that Anoop did a really good job and while I thought Adam's version of "Ring of Fire" was really... odd, he was in good voice. Loved Randy Travis as the mentor, he's one of my favs.

I tried to delete my pic on twitter today because I realized that the small thumbnail sized version might look like Elizabeth is shooting a bird (which wasn't really what I was going for, lol)... and I haven't been able to upload a new one since. I went into the help section and realized that at least it's not just me and other people are having the same problem too. I hope they fix it soon, as I'm currently being represented by an 'x'.

Been watching SG-1 again lately, because I was going through withdrawals. In the past couple of days I've re-watched Children of the Gods, The Fifth Race, Holiday, Window of Opportunity, and The First Ones. Evidently I needed a Jack and Daniel fix.

And if any of you are the one(s) who nominated me for the Stargate Fan Awards, thank you!! Totally wasn't expecting that.

I've been listening to Kelly Clarkson's (leaked) new album on youtube and I can't wait until it comes out on Tuesday!

I feel like I wasted 2 hours of my life tonight with American Idol. There were only a few performances that I enjoyed and the rest were either painful or blah. The two I was most impressed with were Adam and Allison, but I also threw in a vote for Kris and Kai... because they might have potential. Random thought, I think Kai would look spiffy with dreadlocks.

And I watched a DVD of comedian/ventriloquist Jeff Dunham last night that a friend lent us. I'd heard of him before but wasn't really too interested to check him out because I find the whole ventriloquist thing kind of creepy... but my sister had seen him live down here not too long ago and said he was pretty funny... and ya know what, he is! I really needed a good laugh last night and he provided it. Peanut and Jose Jalapeno FTW!

So we're down to the final 36 of American Idol and finally get to vote. This is when the show starts to get interesting for me... I hate the beginning auditions, because of all of the people goofing off. The first group of 12 was up last night (a 2 hour episode with a freakin' commerical in between each contestant *sigh*) and I'll put my thoughts under a cut.
