Her Life is a WIP

Me, I love tv. Tv and I have had a really rich and intense friendship since forever - it started when I was a little tyke and it never stopped. It used to drive my mom crazy because she had to kinda literally drag me away from the shiny screen each time she would bring my sister and me to the park because she kept insisting I needed fresh air and stuff - we lived in a small flat so technically I do see her point but it was always torture for me. Ask me about my favourite childhood songs and I'll draw a blank, now ask me about my favourite shows and I'll talk your ears off.

Okay so why the melodramatic trip down memory lane? For no reason. Except, just - so I love tv, and most of the time? Tv gives me back my love tenfold.

And, see, yesterday's episode of Hustle SO delivered. ( Those very first seconds? KILLED ME! )

( As for the rest, it was brilliant too, as per usual. )

Oh and I watched The X-Files ( Jump the Shark )

So is that true? Is it for real?

I also caught the Kaamelott repeat and omg! Talk about an intense way of ending the third series! Man! ( Spoilers for La Dispute )

Also for the record, there are tv shows I don't like. Off the top of my head I can give you three, count 'em three names! The infamous Smallville, The O.C and One Tree Hill. Ha! Not bad, right? Right?

Man, the UK makes the sexiest, most gorgeous promos for their shows, ever! I mean, the Lost promo was a thing of beauty and now, with the Supernatural one, well, they just became my favourite promo makers. It's so classy, so arty [in a good way, I mean] and yeah so sexy. Why can't the Americans do the same? I guess they don't like subtlety as much as the English do :-)

And hee today is tuesday! Meaning that today is teh "Scarecrow", woohoo! Well tomorrow for me but still, it's Supernatural Tuesday! Which in a twisted kind of way reminds me that I still haven't downloaded the new Stargate so I'll have to do that soon *nods*

Unrelated now. You know that I don't take resolutions for the New Year but let's pretend I had taken one? It would have been to read more actual books this year - also, I thought it wasn't too big a not!resolution so it might be doable. And following that not!resolution, I'm now starting my third book of the month, so there's still hope for me. Let's just hope I'll follow the program *tries to look determined* Hey dont_callmebabe? I finished Mysterious Skin and it was brilliant! I'm thinking of getting the book for myself now :-) I'll also watch the DVD asap cause I'm curious to see what they did with the story.

Finally, another 100% unrelated subject. The third season of Kaamelott - Livre III in Kaamelottese - started last night and of course I wasn't there and only came back for the very last episode, ie the tournament one but it's okay because a) I could have missed the whole thing and b) a bit of Kaamelott is better than no Kaamelott at all which actually is another a) in disguise lol But still.

I was laughing my ass off at what I saw and I have the feeling the third season is going to be a blast too - not that I had any doubt, mind! Case in point, the following scene which killed me dead because man, it was pure Gauvin and Yvain. Also, I know le Père Blaise et Calogrenant were there, but I'm not sure who said what so don't take my words for it as such, all right?

( Alors sérieux, je sais pas trop où on en est avec les spoilers pour Kaamelott mais au cas où, je vais placer la scenette derrière un cut. )

Man, I have so much LOVE for my French show *hugs Kaamelott* Also, classy: new outfits, new haircuts - and hey, new credits? Impressive *nods*

Lost my connection last night and just got it back omg! *clings to the internets* I was quite busy and out of the house most of the day today though so I didn't feel its absence too keenly.

Second part of the day was quite mundane - though lovely - but the first part was quite original since I met King Arthur and part of his court, whee! This, of course, warrants a little picspam *g* I'll also turn to French since it's about a French show and French actors and all.

Alors ! Je replace dans le contexte: lundi, en me baladant sur le site officiel de la série j'apprends que l'équipe de Kaamelott fera une seconde séance de dédicace aux Galeries Lafayette ce vendredi. Etant donné que j'avais loupé la première dédicace au Virgin des Champs, je me dis que cette fois ce sera la bonne. Foi de Mousey, je serais de la partie.

Et effectivement... j'y étais :-) Et évidemment, j'ai pris des photos et tout ça.

Donc, étaient présents Anne Girouard, Alexandre Astier, Simon Astier, Franck Pitiot et Thomas Cousseau. C'est à dire - pour ceux qui ont encore du mal à mettre le nom des acteurs sur les personnages - qu'on avait en face de nous Guenièvre, Arthur, Yvain, Perceval et Lancelot. Belle équipe, pas vrai?

Enfin tout ça pour dire - je suis CROQUE ! *chérit son coffret nouvellement dédicacé*

I'm thinking I'd like some whine with my cheese - if you could indulge me just for a moment? Thanks. My sleep pattern is completely screwed up and I'm, well, tired of it. Last night I went to sleep around 3.00 am. I? Had to get up at 6.45 am - I'll let you imagine how well that went. I'm feeling light-headed all day long and it feels like I'm living in a cotton-wrapped world all the time. I know why I can't sleep - still, I'm tired of the whole thing *sigh*

Okay, whining over *waves hands*

Tomorrow is the release date of the Complete First Season of The Dead Zone on DVD - technically, I know that buying the box set isn't going to be my brightest idea but sometimes you just need to spoil yourself, know what I mean? So methinks I'll treat myself with a new box set soon. Tomorrow even, if I have time to make a detour to the mall. And seriously, the timing is perfect since with all the DZ talk I've seen on LJ lately, I was craving some little DZ marathon ;-)

I still haven't watched Lost 2x04 - and as a matter of fact, I haven't even watched 2x03. I have to admit I have been more excited about both Numb3rs and Supernatural... maybe I'll finally rectify it today. Can't abandon my shiny show, right? I wasn't impressed by 2x02 but I have no intention on giving up on the series at this point.

Unrelated now - next week should be nice. First, Serenity is coming out and second, the Kaamelott cast will hold a signing session in Paris! According to french_hobbit's smart theory, the whole team should be there. We can only hope now *fingers crossed* But dude! That would be so Very Awesome!

Speaking of Kaamelott: reason #25412 Why I Love Bohort - ( because he's so the woobie of the Kaam-verse. )

Bohort! *hugs tight*

PS: yami_tai? I finally read the new chapters of Haru wo Daiteita and I have no words either! *melts with you* And have you read the newest chapter? It's a raw version so it's not as if I could understand exactly what was happening except for ( Is that a spoiler? Okay just in case. )

ETA: Guys! Take a look at kaamelott's new look - we now have a header and an icon and all *feels so proud* There's also a girl who created her lj only to be able to join the comm - I mean, DUDE! Best compliment ever *preens*

Okay see there are two kind of people: those who sleep at night and those who don't. And when you don't sleep? You do all kind of stuff, like, I don't know, starting a comment marathon with uniquewonders about the lack of Kaamelott communities around here for instance. Comment marathon which ends with the creation of kaamelott, the very first - and okay only - Kaamelott community on LJ land! The girl blamed me for the whole thing, as you do, but she's the one who went for it. She might have made me co-mod, but it's only because I didn't want to leave her alone in the end. So anyway. kaamelott! On LJ! Sure, we'll certainly be around six members but whatever. Now it exists *g*

To celebrate the birth of aforementioned community, I posted the transcript of an episode over there and I guess I'll do it here too - dunno if I'll keep cross-posting, but right now I like having my stuff on my LJ *is possessive and territorial*

( Kaamelott - La Fête de l'Hiver )

Hey, I finally saw Night Watch with the French Posse yesterday - minus catiadoodle who sat with us for awhile before heading for her own movie - and had my Starbucks fix with them afterwards, minus moimoietmoi who abandoned us had to leave. Come to think of it, it was like playing musical chairs lol Night Watch? Was really different and oh so weird. It certainly worked for me, but it didn't for everyone, just ask dont_callmebabe ;-) I'll definitely wait for the second part *nods*

The best thing though? Was that we saw the trailer for Serenity! Which looked quite different on the big screen. And dude! Talk about fangirl's reaction to media stimuli - double stimuli if you consider a certain someone's appearance in the trailer *facepalm* But see, though I hoped we would see the trailer, I didn't really expect it, so when I saw Mal appear on the screen... well, that was just a nice moment lol To my defense, I'll say that moimoietmoi reacted the same way so, like, Nerds Unite!

Forgot to wish a happy birthday to greensilver yesterday. Sorry, girl, and a Happy Belated Birthday to you. Hope you had a fantastic day *hugs*

Since I never sleep, I watched Numb3rs 2x02 early this morning last night. Do some of you remember how even though I enjoyed the episode last week, there was something that felt off to me? Well DUDE! Nothing felt off this time, NOTHING!

( Numb3rs 2x02 - Bettor or Worse )

Oh that was good *beams*

And to keep with the theme:

#1: Some quotes from the episode by spikedluv.

#2: A little tag for "Bettor or Worse" by spikedluv again. Don/Charlie warning...

Totally unrelated now, the Kaamelott Quote of the Day - we so need a Kaamelott quotes comm around here!

Yvain : [sur le sujet de la future campagne militaire qu'il devra faire]
Je refuse d'aller me battre pour soutenir une politique d'expansion territoriale dont je ne reconnais pas la légitimité.

Dois je ajouter qu'Yvain est le beau-frère du roi ?

Still haven't downloaded Lost 2x02. I know, what the hell am I waiting for? Well I've been busy with RL so there. I think I'll download it after I'm back tonight but if it's not over and done with tomorrow morning when I wake up, ie when I'm about to start my Numb3rs download, it'll have to wait! Yes, Numb3rs comes before Lost *is so strict omg*

Also, did someone hear something of interest concerning Booth (Bones) in the coming episode/episodes? Yes, I'm talking about a spoiler here. Seems someone from my flist heard something that might be of interest but since she didn't tell us what yet, I'm asking here in case someone knows what she was talking about :-) It could end up being a nice incentive for me to download more. Except it seems the show is going on hiatus? Dude, I wasn't that interested to begin with, if it disappears so soon, I'm not sure I'll even remember it come November *cough*

Anyway.

On Kaamelott news now: j'ai donc commencé à faire chauffer mes nouveaux DVDs et j'ai comme l'impression qu'ils ne sont pas près de prendre des vacances! J'ai bien essayé de me trouver un Episode Favori mais à chaque fois c'est pas un titre d'épisode qui me vient à l'esprit mais tout une liste: "Heat", "Le Chevalier Mystère" - j'ai transcrit l'épisode en entier, faudra que je le tape plus tard - "Le Fléau de Dieu", "Codes et Stratégies" - enfin vous voyez le genre lol

Also, for a) babycakesin who doesn't know the show yet b) those who do and want to squee with me and c) everyone who's brave enough to click on the tag knowing there's French hidden behind it, ( here some Kaamelott quotes and longers excerpts - in French. Donc en fait, je sais même pas pourquoi je commence mon cut tag en Anglais. )

Dude! I love that little series beyond the telling of it *cuddles*

Dude! Life on-line is full of surprises, wow. So last night I had a craving for some nice M7 slash - happens to me every now and then. Don't know why it happens, it just does. I chose at random and picked The Years Between by TrueEnough which turned out to be wonderful. So it definitely put me in the mood for more. Anyway, I'm cruising the site, poking around and I find this "Download" section at the bottom of the page and I'm thinking, "hey nice, I'll download some vids" - vids are the next best thing when you can't watch the show, right? So I click and holy shit Batman they're not vid downloads! Nope. They're episode downloads! Well okay, there's just one but still! I couldn't believe my luck, really. I thought it was a sham or something - yes, I'm Fox Mulder's lost sister, that is, the other one, why do you ask?

So I did download the episode, namely "One Day Out West", and turns out it wasn't a sham or anything - it was the real episode. I, Mousey Mouse, watched an episode of The Magnificent Seven. Boggles the mind.

My impression? Boy westerns crack me up! You gotta love a genre where stereotype isn't just a word, it's a way of life and where predictable lines aren't even a way of life, they're... well, there's no word for what they are. Well, it's a western, anyway. Though if you think I didn't like what I saw, you'd be mistaken. I did like it - plus hey, I was a fan of the movies when I was a kid, though that doesn't mean anything, granted - and it was really good finally seeing Vin and Chris and the others in the flesh - well, you know what I mean. I sure wish WhoeverUploadedTheEpisode uploaded more now because it's tough when you had a taste of something and you know you might not taste it again.

Also, I just love how Vin and Chris seem to always find their way into each other's space. I mean, one scene you have the whole gang Doing Their Thing, the next everyone left except for Vin who's suddenly standing close to Chris. Or you'll have a scene with the whole gang Doing Their Thing and the next, everyone left except for Chris who's suddenly standing close to Vin. Theirloveissopositional.

Unrelated now, a little meme: "Look at your LJ "interests" list. If you have less than 50 interests, pick every fifth one. If you have between 50 and 75 interests, pick every seventh one. If you have over 75 interests, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than ten, pick all of 'em. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly what it is about these things that interests you so much":

( Here be meme )

Oops okay, can't finish, Desperate Housewives starts soon and er, I need to eat and all.

Though wait, I was watching Kaamelott just now and I love that series so much omg! It cracks me up like you wouldn't believe. Leur jeu de balle, là? J'en pouvais plus! *is still laughing*

Et un petit extrait de l'épisode d'avant:

*Chevaliers assis à la Table Ronde*
Chevalier JeSaisPlusQui: Moi j'avais fait vœu de pauvreté.
Roi Arthur: Et?
C JSPQ: Bah avec le blé que je me faisais, j'arrivais pas à concilier les deux.

Ca m'éclate! lol
