Kiss of Death

Glad it's you and not me. I was beginning to think it was me.

Non traditional trees are great. We’ve had palms and little live trees of different kinds in my family. I usually go with the cut green variety, but the last few years they have been a big dry brown mess of needles before we even get to Christmas. I’ll probably get one this weekend anyway.

This is a tough call as Oprah is at long last on Letterman.

Oh, I forgot. Not that I would have been awake, but I would have taped. Will have to find a good write up.

Joining the contingent going to steal meara’s relative’s house. Sounds delightful.

Stephanie and Joe are quite the strikingly beautiful couple.

Yay for the resumption of smoochies for Gris and GG!

Anne, you hott young thing. Imma gonna remind you of this incident when you are having low esteem days.

GI-~ma for Deena. May the new moving timeframe work out for the best for your family.

Hey, Bitches, are any of you (except for Cashmere, who I'll be working on) not watching Veronica Mars?

I have joined the ranks of hooked after marathon viewing. I don't have much must see TV. I watch Lost, VM, and SciFi. My fandom level is discussing the show here.

vw, those are very good reasons to stay home. Get some rest in there somewhere too.

Lots of interview~ma for Mr. Maidengurl. It really is your turn for the good stuff to happen.

I don't get the VM-oost at all. I watched the first few eps, disliked Veronica herself intensely, stopped watching, and that was that. (And honestly, the more swooning "YOU MUST WATCH THIS SHOW" posts I see on the internet, the less likely I am ever to give it another chance. Telling me it's going to take 22 hours before I fall in love? Nuh and uh. Not worth my time.)

You might have killed The Inside, Cashmere. Or maybe not. Maybe I should have hated it out loud. Maybe then it would have remained on.

The first half of S1 of VM would not have caused me to stick around. I'm glad I did. This season is more of a swirl of confusion partially because of ingesting the show one episode a week rather than marathon viewing.

I think I would watch all television series in DVD format after the season is over if it weren't for the discussion here. It satisfies the instant gratification need better.

Was it just her personality, or was it the sort ethical issues about private investigation (or what, if you know)? Lately, I've stumbled across people talking about the Veronica character in a few places, and mentioning how she really crosses lines. Swallowing the whole season in essentially one gulp, I had never stopped to consider how much of what she does is such an intrusion. The first time it pinged me was in season 1, where she gets a hold of Duncan's medical records (I know we're NAFDA here, but I don't want to spoil any of the people who are thinking about checking it out via DVD, and are starting with S1).

I can't ever see myself trying to fall in love with a TV show, again. In the beginning, I made myself watch Angel. It didn't appeal to me on its own merits, at all. But I did eventually fall for it on its own merits. I talked myself into thinking I loved Firefly. I did think I loved it for a long time. When it was canceled I was as bitter as if I had loved it, but I know now I didn't--not really.

I truly loved Wonderfalls. I would have loved Wonderfalls, even if I'd never made the Minear connection. I truly loved Buffy. I truly loved Freaks and Geeks. I truly loved Joan of Arcadia. I truly love VM, but it completely surprised me.

Jessica, then, would probably not be a "Wire" fan. It is an investment, my new show, but "Once you in it, you in it." But there were many of my first eps where it was entirely possible to read at the same time. Now, of course, I know not to do that. My fake husband will smite me later with the fact that I Missed Stuff. Also, my corner slang is the bomb these days. Drives my mama just off the hook, too. I don't lose track of much anymore, though. And I like it...that shit is tight.

Mostly her personality -- I didn't keep watching long enough to really get into the ethics issues that came up. The way the voiceover narration was written just made me itch.

I'd still like to try it, even so -- I think it's more up my alley than VM to begin with.

Veronica continues to be unlikeable. She's judgmental, narrow minded and rude. I kinda watch around her.
