RL and TV rambling.

Something funny happened today. I was on a mission for my sister; mission of the uppermost importance which consisted in me standing at a street corner and standing guard in front of a letter box in order to intercept the postman before the last collection of the day - long story, don't ask, thx. Anyway, I was waiting and waiting when a group of little kids marched on the other side of the street and the teacher with them? Was my own teacher when I was four in kindergarten. Which, you know, okay cool but what the big deal? Except that five minutes later a guy stopped his car at the red light and it was a guy I knew from middle school - he recognised me too since he waved at me. I thought it was all quite amusing - and I mean, I haven't seen either of those people in like a decade? And then another man crossed the street and that was one of my teachers when I was in middle school too! Dude, that street corner must have been some kind of portal to the past or something!

Okay, anyway.

I didn't comment on Prison Break, did I? I liked the episode but I just have one thing to say: omg I can't believe they're out! It happened, it really did *gasp* And poor Westmoreland! Next episode should be interesting.

Then I watched Criminal Minds - oh Criminal Minds, why did you do this to me? You're not supposed to do stuff like that!

Wtf man, they so didn't kill Elle! They didn't do that, did they? Was there ever talks about one of the lead characters leaving? I'm not in the fandom so I don't know of any rumours that might have occured and now I'm all worried because nooooo, not Elle! Argh!

That was a great episode. Loved that we saw them all - except Garcia and JJ, granted - outside the office. Seeing them all relaxing and free of the stress of the job was just brilliant. Well, apart from Reid, but that was even better because ohh poor Reid! And yay family history!

1. Aaron and Haley were so sweet! And I'd like to mention again how much I love a character who laughs; it's one of my kinks blah blah blah, and I adore Hotch's laugh :-)

2. Morgan and Elle went on vacation together, heee so incredibly cute! And Elle in flirting mode was very, very sexy. It was nice seeing not only Morgan but Elle as well on the 'hunt' *g* And Morgan's tats? Are very nice too *nods*

3. Gideon and the cooking scene was love! He's so romantic and all *loves Gideon like whoa*

4. Reid's story was sad. Poor Reid!

5. Garcia cracked me with her game, until she was making me want to hug her and reassure her that everything would turn out alright when she realised she'd opened the door to Psycho Guy. Poor Garcia! But, yes, it wasn't her smartest move ever.

As for the case - it's always a lot of fun when it's personal, isn't it? It's also a bit of a cliché, mind you, but I can't say I'm complaining because I love the idea of the team being used by a psycho. Except when Psycho Guy decides to kill one of them *worries for Elle*

Lastly. Okay see I never meant to watch Plus Belle la Vie. I don't do soaps. But tbf!Sandrine and Rissy are both into it and the show got me by osmosis or, you know, something. So this is gonna be a bit of a Plus Belle la Vie moment: nooo! Nicolas left for Strasbourg! Thomas is all alone in Marseille without his cutie of a boyfriend now *cries* Sure, they'll see each other on the weekends but I'll miss their couple: no more m/m cuddling on the couch, no more sweet touches - this isn't buddies!

Oh oh Numb3rs just started! Hee it's "Counterfeit Reality". Man, I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing PB!Sara in Numb3rs. Sara dated Don omg!

I'm glad someone is watching Criminal Minds. What do you think the book is that the killer is using for his book code? My first thought was The Princess Bride, but then I figured surely not since M.P. had a staring role in the movie version. Any ideas?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I got into Criminal Minds relatively recently - ie a couple of months, tops - but I'm enjoying myself like you wouldn't believe, this is such a great team!

Also re: the book. I can't say I have any idea, no. Apparently we're supposed to be in possession of all the clues so when I'll watch the ep a second time, I'll try pay attention. I was thinking of a book about Arthur but a) might just too obvious and b) okay but what book exactly?

[sockich.livejournal.com]

Dude, that street corner must have been a sort of portal to the past or something!

Heh, you should totally investigate, maybe there's demons and Sam and Dean fighting them *g*

And la la la I'm not reading anything about Criminal Minds as I have yet to force myself to watch it. I mean, I want to watch it, I really do, but it's like the first part of two, right? And I know watching this and then having to wait forever for the conclusion will just kill me. So, I'm just kinda looking at it, and torturing myself with it. I'll probably watch it on Sunday to distract myself from the inevitable hangover (and, I've just gotta say this, OMG PROM! TOMORROW! YAY! *G*)

Sara dated Don omg!

Don't you just love it when fandoms collide like that? I know I do. *nodnod*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

The episode was the first of a two-parter, yes and the ending is BAD and MEAN! The waiting will, indeed, be difficult *sigh*

Heee tomorrow is your Prom? Omg it's going to be SO GREAT! I don't suppose you'll take pictures? Cause I would love to see a prom live; we don't have those here.

[sockich.livejournal.com]

I don't suppose you'll take pictures?

I have no idea, actually. That is, there will be pictures taken for sure with a regular camera, because that's the only kind we have in our poor little technologically challenged family. However there is a chance that one of the other family members will have a digital camera, or maybe on of the friends will lend me their for a few shots, in which case yeah, pics are definitely forthcoming. *g*

we don't have those here.

Well, I suppose you could say this isn't exactly a prom either. It's more of a prom/graduation ceremony mixture. There's an official part for students, professors and family members, followed by the unofficial after party for the students. I can't wait. *giddy*

Yeah, OK, sleep now, for real, lol.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'll cross my fingers, then, cause I'd love to see some pics of Teh Prom :-)

Well, I suppose you could say this isn't exactly a prom either. It's more of a prom/graduation ceremony mixture.

At least you have something. We don't around here. When high school comes to an end, you take the Baccalauréat - first real big exam which lasts several days and without which you just can't access superior studies - and if you passed the exam? Well good for you but there's no ceremony or anything. On the day of the results, you go the center where you took the exam - it's usually not in the same place where you went to school - you look at the sheets glued to the school walls and hunt down your names... then if you passed you stay a bit until your name is called and they give you the papers that prove that you did, then you go back to your high school to show them aforementioned papers and that's it.

Of course, the moment when you go go your exam center is always quite an emotional moment with, like, hundred of other students all wanting to die because of the stress and anticipation, and then you hear cries of joy or of disappointments all around, people comfort each other or congratulate each other... but there's no Big Ceremony like they have in the States - or other countries where they would have that kind of things.

I sure wish we had gratudate ceremonies, with the robes and little hats and everything, it sounds so cool!

ANYWAY lol

So. Are you ready for the Big Day. Did you rest well, have a good night sleep? I hope you did *hugs*

[sockich.livejournal.com]

When high school comes to an end, you take the Baccalauréat

Yup, we have one of those too, the matura. It's pretty much the same as your Baccalauréat, only we usually take the exams in our schools.

So. Are you ready for the Big Day. Did you rest well, have a good night sleep? I hope you did *hugs*

Oh, I'm so ready. I'm slightly nervous and a lot giddy, I just came back from my hairdresser's and my hair looks awesome and ONLY FIVE MORE HOURS OMG I CAN'T WAIT YAY! *g*

And yes, I did get a good night sleep (although I woke up pretty early), thank you. *hugs back*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Replying now though I know the Prom was yesterday. I hope everythin went well! Wonder if you'll spend the day comatose today lol

[sockich.livejournal.com]

Everything went brilliant, thanks.

Wonder if you'll spend the day comatose today lol

Well, yeah, but I got up at 6 pm. That's something right there, right? *doesn't mention she's still really fucking tired* ;)

Huh?

[sockich.livejournal.com]

Wait, where's my comment? Um, I just wrote a nice little comment saying how you obviously have a portal there and should investigate it for demons and Sam and Dean and also how I can't bring myself to watch Criminal Minds because omg only the first part and I need them both and I clicked on 'post comment' and now I can't see it. *is confused*

Wait, did LJ just eat my comment? Because if it did, that's never happened to me before, it kinda feels like a rite of passage. *g*

Re: Huh?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

LJ is playing with us; I did get the comment, but it didn't appear on the entry. It happened a couple of times already. I just started catching up with the flist so I don't know if it's something that has been happening all day or if it's just new.

It sure is annoying though!

Re: Huh?

[sockich.livejournal.com]

And now I can see both my comments. *facepalm* Obviously this is the universe's way of saying I've had enough and need to go to bed, stat. Important day to tomorrow.

So, um, yeah, I'm gonna stop spamming you now. *g*

Re: Huh?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Lol LJ wants to drive us all crazy omg!

Good night, then. They need you sharp tomorrow for the Big Day *g*

I have three guesses as to what book they are talking about. Two not so serious, and one serious. The not so serious "The Shining" or the book Reid gave to his mother at the top of the episode.

But I really think the book is either "The Once and Future King" (TH White) or the first book that makes up "The Once and Future King" namely, "The Sword in the Stone."

There are too many references to the Arthurian ledgends in the episode. Even the butterfly was british. And Spencer's mother was a professor of medeival literature (or history? Something medeival). And he is given the key - so I think the story of the episode will revolve around him. Maybe the unsub knows him or his family...

Maybe the code is to a specific edition of a book that is special to Spencer, since he seems to be getting the more personal touch in the notes.

Possibile theories abound!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Yes, like I was saying in one of the comments above, I was thinking of a book referring to the Arthurian legends, except I have no idea as to which one it could be - if that was the correct answer.

You're ahead of me with your titles *nods* Congrats on that :-)

I guess the fandom is gonna have fun trying to find the right book *g*

[gardendoor.livejournal.com]

What a cool coincidence!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I am behind on comments, sorry for the delay.

And yeah, that kind of coincidence just cracks me up *loves*
