So I finally decided to give How I Met Your Mother a chance and I’m loving it so far, except for the laugh track. I really dislike laugh tracks. They suck and it’s not the 80′s anymore. For those of you who watch the show, does the laugh track continue on throughout the seasons or is it just a season 1 thing? Just curious because I don’t know if I can deal with 3 full seasons of laugh tracks.

I just thought I’d toss in a random post in the midst of all of my Chuck-spams, which have been super fun to post. Speaking of Chuck, I really missed him on Gossip Girl last night. I prefer Chuck-filled episodes to Chuck-less episodes. Blair looked really pretty last night though and I typically can’t stand her unless she’s in a scene with Chuck in some capacity.
Who else squealed with delight at the new Twilight teaser trailer? Rob looks and sounds amazing. And he and Kristen look awesome together. I’m so excited about the movie!!!
I picked up The Vampire Diaries (Vol. 1 – The Awakening and The Struggle; Vol. 2 – The Fury and Dark Reunion) over the weekend and started reading the first story last night and so far I am enjoying it. Once I finish these books, I’ll shift my focus back to City of Ashes.
Since I’ve been depressed for a while and reading practically non-stop, I’ve found that I haven’t really felt like working on my sites much, which I don’t consider to be a bad thing. I’ve put both Charlie and Rebecca on hold for the time being, and I’m thinking of closing my ITC screencap/scan gallery and just having zip files available of caps instead. Not that many people visit the gallery anyway and after the last round of upgrades due to hackers (OMG how they suck arse), the less coppermines to upgrade, the better.
I’ve moved all of my icons here and have added a few new ones (Asia x1, Heather x1, Mia x 5, Samaire x1 and Broken English x2) if anyone is interested. I will also have some Chuck ones available soon.
I think that’s all the randomness I have for now. More Chuck-spams to be added tonight. 
James Roday is awesomeness personified. His portrayal of Shawn Spencer is the greatest ever.
I’m completely obsessed with the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer and the upcoming film as well.
I just finished reading The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and really enjoyed it for the most part. I only have 1 major complaint with the book and that was the outcome of a particular relationship near the end. I just feel cheated out of what it should have been, but I will get over it soon enough. I started the 2nd book, The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes, last night and am enjoying it thus far. Here’s to hoping the author doesn’t throw more curve balls at me! 
I’ve been bitten by the Gossip Girl bug. It’s not what I’d call a “good” show that everyone and their mother must watch, but it’s incredibly entertaining in a turn your brain off for 45 minutes kind of way. The entire cast is really, really pretty too and that never hurts. Love me some Penn Badgley! He’s just so adorable and I have seen him in other stuff, so it’s not just this show that makes me think he’s adorable. I also have an odd fascination with Chuck or rather Ed Westwick’s portrayal of Chuck. He’s such a creepy slimeball character, but Ed manages to give him a little soul and make him kind of hot at the same time. Ed has the best smarmy facial expressions and his American accent is dead sexy. The one thing I don’t dig about Chuck is his clothing. It’s really awful and a bit too Peeps-colored for my taste. I shall picspam you all later with his hotness and terrible fashion.

Click here to view them in all of their ‘Friday Night Lights’-loving glory. I realize that I don’t really need any of them, but I adore Landry and the Crucifictorious (his Christian metal band) t-shirt kinda rocks. And who wouldn’t want their own Riggins jersey?
I haven’t felt much like blogging lately, as you all may have noticed from my complete and utter lack of blogging. Let’s see if I can fill you in on everything now…
Darie got married this past weekend and it was so much fun. She looked amazing and I hope to have photos available soon.
Site Pimpage: Sophia Web is now open. There is a ton of gallery work left to do, as well as the video archive to build, which is going to take many months to complete, but it’s in pretty good shape as it is. I am in love with the layout as well, which was made by the awesome Dora.
My spider bite has healed nicely, but I do have a scar. It’s getting lighter though, so hopefully it’ll be completely gone within the next few months.
The only fall TV that I’m loving right now is Pushing Daisies, Supernatural (S3 is really strong), FNL (I choose to pretend that 1 storyline is not really happening), The Office and Chuck. I’m actually a couple of eps behind on The Office and Chuck, but will catch up soon because they are so much fun.
I hate the song ‘Hey There Delilah’ by The Plain White Ts. I don’t really know why I hate it so much though. It’s mellow and I like mellow and the singer has a nice enough voice, but I just can’t stand it. Blech!
On the good music front, I’m completely addicted to Ryan Adams’ Easy Tiger CD. It’s sooo good. Come to think of it, I’m actually kind of addicted to all things Ryan Adams right now. I know he’s supposed to be a total douche in real life, but he is one incredibly talented musician and therefore I am choosing to overlook that fact for the sake of good tunes.
I know there’s more, but that’s all I have for now.
I finally saw 300 the other day and I wasn’t terribly impressed. Aside from the insanely hot male specimens the film had to offer, there wasn’t a whole lot else that I enjoyed because everything looked sooooo CGI. Yes, I knew the whole film was done in CGI, but I didn’t expect the finished product to look entirely fake. The blood looked fake, the dead bodies and flying severed heads and limbs looked totally fake. And was that really Rodrigo Santoro who played Xerxes? If so, they did an excellent job of taking away all that makes him attractive and instead turned him into a totally laughable and non-scary character complete with cheesy-fake-deep-throaty-menacing-voice and all. I think they must have been trying for a more manly version of Jaye Davidson‘s character, Ra, in Stargate, but failed miserably. I also didn’t see anything super special about Lena Headey and I really expected to with all the hoopla surrounding the film and her in general. No offense to her fans, I just didn’t see anything special about her acting abilities. She is pretty, but not quite my cup of tea. And what accent was my beloved Gerry attempting to use? It was bad whatever it was. I don’t mean to nitpick it to death because I know most everyone thought it was a cinematic masterpiece, but I just didn’t see what everyone else saw.
I also watched Zodiac and aside from the excellent acting and stellar cast, I didn’t enjoy it all that much either. My most petty complaint is that of Anthony Edward’s hairpiece. Why??? He’s been mostly bald for forever and I always kind of dug him mostly bald and they had to cover up his glorious mostly baldness with an ugly unnatural hairpiece. Not cool.
The second season of Kyle XY is almost over. I am going to miss it.
Yay for the new season of Dexter starting soon!
If you aren’t watching Psych, then you’re missing out on some major funny. I did a little screencapping the other day of one of my favorite episodes, Shawn vs. The Red Phantom, so go forth and behold the pretty! Picspam coming soon…
I also made a few new Charlize icons the other day, so if you haven’t already seen them at CTC, they are also in the gallery.
Yes, that is all the randomness I have for now. You may now return to your regularly scheduled programs.
Woo and hoo! Supernatural has been renewed for a 3rd season.
Edit: Now with picspam!
