Elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults*

[bending_sickle]

- Remember how I said I've never made a fandom fanmix? Yeah, that was me completely forgetting Soemthing's Not Right for Nightmare on Elm Street (2010). Which, I've just realized, totally fails at not having Tom Wait's What's He Building In There?

- As for jobhunting? I can't do this anymore. It's been months and months and all I've gotten is one writing test request and one interview and nothing now for ages. And while my mother's always saying how she totally is supportive, she's not actually, y'know, supportive, in that she's never said things like, "You'll find a job, no worries!" and instead considers "being supportive" to be her saying things more along the lines of, "You're never going to get anywhere if you keep on like this! You should go out and talk to people instead of staying inside sending out CVs. Why haven't you done this already?" I've tried telling her that her definition of supportive ≠ my definition of supportive, but that hasn't resulted in any change.

Coincidentally, over on Trinity College (Dublin)'s Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, you can see that they have a Professional Development & Career Planning course. Oh, if only more universities were like you, Trinity!

- I've finished Grey's Anatomy Season 6 - oh, my heart - and I'm still miffed at the Emmy's for spoiling the penultimate episode by showing the scene where Character verbs Character. *shakes fist*

- Life still sucks. My (unpaid, dead-end, at-least-I'm-doing-something) translation internship resumes tomorrow.

Have some photographs!

WHAT DOES CHARACTER DO TO CHARACTER?!?
I gave up Greys after season 2, deeming it as totally stupid and worthless, but I still feel like I should know what happens.

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

Character 1: Man Whose Wife Was Unplugged As Per Her Legal Orders But Who Is Very Upset Over It
Verb: Shoots
Character 2: Derek Sheppard

The penultimate and season finale episodes were one giant bloodbath of Crazy Shooter Man.

For me, Grey's Anatomy is a sort of emotional masochism with a dose of some snarky characters. (Later seasons get new blood thrown in the mix - new interns, new residents - and the focus is more on them, so it gets better.) I've only just gotten into it - via serious marathoning - this year.

*gasp* They can't just shoot at the eye candy Sheppard! D: I am familiar with the concept however -- the House Season 2 finale consisted of a crazy shooter man episode as well, very believable, since there are bunches of people pissed off at House and all. ;P

*toys with the idea of starting with Grey's Anatonmy* I mean, I need a new series anyway, but I always thought GA had too little... grit, y/n? *shurgs*

I am spamming again. Damnit, sorry! D:

Think of the eye candy! (The two-parter episode was highly disturbing, though. Just...bam, you're dead. And you, and you and oh hey, you too.)

Grey's Anatomy is a fine enough watch. It's mainly an emotional rollercoaster or just plain "let's see how often we can tear your heart out" ride. On the other hand, it's got some really cool people. There's Cristina of the original intern team, who is awesome and seriously hardcore and cutthroat and says what she thinks. There's Sloan the plastic surgeon and manwhore extraordinaire. He's the McSteamy :) There's Torres the bone-fixing surgeon who is squishy and kick-ass awesome at the same time. And there's Miranda, the intern's supervisor and basically HBIC. Oh, and there's Papa Winchester (!!!) being all charming and lovely and awesome. And yes, Sheppard and his hair of win.

Basically, it's easy to watch if you disregard the constant OMG DRAMA. It's like House-light. The first season - which I'm watching now, because I do things in strange orders - is a bit meh, but it picks up around season 3 or so. The good thing is there's always new people coming in and most of them are either feisty or pretty.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH SPAM!
