Colonel Jack
“You ended that sentence with a preposition… you _bastard_!”
As with Carter – I _knew_ there was a reason I liked Jack…
Samantha Carter
“Wormhole theory, motorcycle riding, and lock-picking.”
I knew there was a reason why I liked Major Sam, on SG-1.
SG-1
I’m really getting into Jonas Quinn – the character is very entertaining. I still want Daniel back, though.
Jack as a snake-head, though?? Weird. Must have really wanted a holiday….
Stargate
Apparently they’ve canned SG-1 after the end of season 10. This is despite the fact that for the first time since season 4, apparently, they had the actors signed in and finance confirmed…. So maybe they’ll go to a different channel, or maybe – just maybe – it will turn into a movie or two… or possibly it will just remain canned.
Idol
I am embarassed to admit that we are watching the Aust Idol trials. I blame J. Anyway, there was a dude just on singing R&B – Marcia and Kyle said yes, Mark said no. He then had a go at the other two, asking them if they really thought that 14 and 15 yo girls would buy R&B (cos they’re the ones who buy Aust Idol, obviously). HELLO!?!?! Who else buys R&B BUT 14 and 15 yo girls?? Goodness me.
And I have to say – Kyle? PRAT.
MTV Movie Awards – Snakes on a Plane!!
Watching these awards – it’s obviously pretty old, so don’t know why Channel 10 has only just got around to showing it; maybe it’s cheaper that way. Samuel L Jackson is presenting the award for Best Movie (I’m sorry, The Wedding Crashers ??)… but he’s claiming that next year, Snakes on a Plane will be winning next year.
Pft. As if.
HELP! snakes on a plane!!
The bro took a picture of a huge billboard in the US advertising the movie; pretty funny.
My GOODness, Jessica Alba is soooo tacky,
BUT WOW for good timing! I was about to go to bed… but Wolfmother just appeared at the end of the awards! YEH!
Rage – for the last time
Yes, watching the last edition of Rage Top 50… until, I guess, the JTV people want a holiday.
Anyway: I cannot BELIEVE that there is a song called “Promiscuous” out! Singing about “promiscuous girl, promiscuous boy” – as if that’s something that they should be proud of! I don’t consider myself a prude (some might disagree), and I guess I would be considered conservative because I’m a Christian, but I fail to understand how anyone can think that being considered promiscuous could be a good thing. Surely no one wants to take seriously someone who is willing to sleep with anybody? I guess it’s good for others who just want random sex with no attachments, but I dont believe that he majority of people really do think like that – and even if lots do in their teens and twenties, later in life it’s definitely something that will fail to satisfy, if it ever did.
Argh.
Cookie Monster
I happened to turn to the ABC this morning, in the process of watching Spicks and Specks (which I taped from Wednesday, and I MISSED THE TIE-BREAK QUESTION!!), and there was Cookie Monster. He was testing which shape of cookie tastes the best – it was really quite funny, he went on a bit about texture and aroma; clearly one for the mums (moms?). Anyway, I have finally figured out how he eats the cookie! Other people might have noticed this before, but I haven’t really paid attention to Cookie Monster for a while. Everyone knows that he is a very messy eater… well, that’s the trick: the hand crumbles the cookie up, so that none of it actually stays in the mouth – it falls out! Very tricky.
Incidentally, J thinks that Cookie Monster has sold out, by now saying that cookies are a ‘sometimes food’.
JTV
Have I mentioned how very excited I am about JTV happening?? It’s going to be GREAT not to have to watch bad “Top 50” videos!
Yay. Yay yay yay.
How to watch a season of West Wing in 4 days
Well, any TV series really:
1. Be obsessed.
2. Have an obsessed partner. Alternatively, have no partner. Having a not-obsessed partner is not an option.
3. Watch until late at night
4. Have at least one cold, rainy, disgusting day.
5. Be determined to boast to the friends that loaned you the DVDs about your acheivement.
6. Be obsessed.
Randomly Yours, Alex
