I'm not going out there and getting shot. Thanks though.*

Don't quite know what to do with myself. Still no word on the internship. I went out walking yesterday for four hours or so and finished watching Harper's Island. I also did some Supernatural fanart at 3 am.





This was the closest I could get to the image I had in my head. Oh, text, why do you fail me?

Sickle's Brief Review of Harper's Island:

This is a thirteen-episode murder mystery show - reminiscent of Agaha Christie's "And Then There Were None" except there's more time and more deaths. I watched it for Jim Beaver, whom I heard discussing it in an interview with Winchester Radio.

Little did I know, the show had five actors who've been on Supernatural: Jim Beaver ("Bobby"), Katie Cassidy ("Ruby", V.1, now a brunette and still wicked awesome), Ben Cotton ("Pride", and charmingly also in Slither - man, I love that movie), Chris Gauthier ("Ronald", of "You working for the mandroid?" fame and who, as with Lost's Hurley, breaks my heart if he so much as thinks about looking sad), and Callum Keith Rennie ("Roy" of "Wendigo", whom I found to be a distractingly sexy crazy psychopathic serial killer).

Also it had Richard Burgi, whom I recognized from Firefly as Lieutenant Womack in "The Message", Ali Liebert, and Brandon Jay McLaren (whose performance I really enjoyed), both of whom I should have recognized from Human Target, Matt Barr, who was in Ten Inch Hero, and Christopher Gorham, who was in Buffy the Vampire Slayer's "I Only Have Eyes For You".

The lead was Elaine Cassidy - sans Irish accent - whom I'd seen in Disco Pigs and, regardless of what I thought of the film, liked her in. She was lovely in Harper's Island too.

Basically, everyone was in it.

Towards the end of the show - somewhere around its last three episodes - I gave up on ranting at the screen and actually typed it down:

• If you're in a set of tunnels and a man is coming by your tunnel, don't get in headfirst into the tiny side tunnel! Get in feet first like an angry vicious badger so you have your head and goddamn rifle pointed at the man! Then you can shoot him in the leg instead of having your own feet grabbed at.


• It is my headcanon that Wakefield is Shane's dad. There's the family resemblance, for one, but mainly it's the close-up on their Significant Look when Wakefield breaks in.


• Trish has a moment of massive stupidity: a man with giant knife is about to face-off with a a man with small knife. She has a rifle. What does she do? Shoot the bad man? What madness, no! She runs off just like the Man With Tiny Knife and Death Wish says, and locks herself up in the bathroom with the gun. Ugh, so frustrated.


• Don't shoot the fucking door you've just fucking barricaded!


• I ship Cal/Chloe so hard ♥


• Although at times I hated Shane's actions, I really enjoyed his character.


• Man, Wakefield's got a serious whaling fetish.

Cas fanart ftw! It's really pretty, Adri. ♥

Also, that rant by NineteenPercent is awesome, haha.

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

Eee, thankee!

NineteenPercent is indeed awesome. She remins me a bit of illdoc1 (http://www.youtube.com/user/illdoc1), who has a similar talking style and is also, of course, awesome.

How are you enjoying the freedom of an Abitur graduate? *smishes*

[seschat.livejournal.com]

In return, illdoc1 kind of reminds me of Jeffery Dean Morgan. ;)

Well, I'm kinda miserable today since I'm having the biggest headache and am even 80% sure it's all due to weather sensibility, not alcohol abuse. ;) Yesterday was fun though, what with the senior prank, tractor...drive through the city (a hundred students on a trailer packed like sardines, it's a well-cherished tradition), champagne reception in the town hall and kaffee klatsch with the profs. And there's more to come! Biiig festival tomorrow (yeah, not so keen on the clean up since we're expecting, what, 300, 400 people? but whatever) and finally, the "Abiball" – that is, prom – on Saturday.

Apart from the whole headache of evil thing, I am pretty bored right now, which I suppose might explain why I am currently watching "Best Of Sarah Palin" and getting kicks out of it, too.

*smiiiiish*

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

He totally does look like JDM!

Sorry your miserable :( But it sounds like you had a great time yesterday, and tomorrow sounds fantastic. Also, prom! \o/ (Is there a big "prom dress" tradition for that? If yes, photos may be required, yes?)

I'm a bit very bored too. Oh sure, there's a ton of things I could be working on, what with all this free time, but that's obviously not happening, so I'm watching old movies and slowly going crazy. *sigh*

[seschat.livejournal.com]

There's totally a prom dress tradition! And there will be pictures! ;) I'm also kind of excited to see how people in my class look, you know – properly dressed for once. ;)

Is there any way I could help stave off the boredom? I'm not doing much either.

Anyway, sweets, have a look at these awesome ads I've found! I just wish they weren't anything special though, you know? :-//

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

Eee! Prom dress! Loking forward to the pictures :D

The MacDonalds ad is actually sad. I want to know how it all turns out! Does the boy ever tell his dad he's gay? I neeeeed to know! The one with the father in drag is awesome, though. And I kinda like how they're mixing sexuality awareness (or however we can term the "look, gay's okay, deal with it!" informative things) with ads.

Meh, the thing with boredom is nothing really strikes your fancy enough to not be bored, if you know what I mean. But I'm going to wander around downtown, maybe see my old co-workers, and hopefully that'll break up the day. You go on and have fun with your celebrations ♥

[seschat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're right about the McDonald's one, I guess :-/ Although the boy's languid smile and peaceful air does give the spot a hopeful tone, IMO. I also agree about the other ad, which is made of aweeesome! Did you happen to read the comments? ;)

Meh, the thing with boredom is nothing really strikes your fancy enough to not be bored, if you know what I mean.

Absolutely. :-// I hope you have a fantastic day though! ♥
