The 500 Episodes in a Year Challenge

The goal is simple: 500 episodes in a year. 

Each episode counts as just one: if it’s 20 min long, 

it’s still 1  episode, not just half. If it’s, lets say, a Sherlock episode,

 one hour  and a half, it’s still just 1 episode, not 2 or 3 or 4.

 This is way less  than 2 episodes per day, so it’s not impossible at all,

 in fact in 2010  I reached this goal in half a year.

 So yeah homes. Watch all the episodes!

{via}

So here I am on the blog holding myself accountable with the new segment Telly Tuesday!

Every Tuesday for 2012, I am going to recap all of my episodes!

You'll see a list with the show, the season/series, the episode

&& maybe a quick blip of my feelings toward the show/episode!

Sound fun!? I think so! Feel free to join in!

&& let me know in the comments if you do!

So here we go!

***

"New Girl" :: S1 :: Ep11 "Jess and Julia"

The first 60 seconds and I can't stop laughing.

"Parenthood" :: S3 :: Ep13 "Just Smile"
S3 :: Ep14 "It Is What It Is"

I find myself so involved in this show. I panic and hurt and laugh with and for these characters. It is great drama. So real.

"The Big Bang Theory" :: S5 :: Ep15 "The Friendship Contraction"

I heart these characters. ^.^

"Parks & Recreation" :: S4 :: Ep14 "Operation Ann"

I love that I can pick up in the middle of this shows 4th season and adore everyone!

"Grey's Anatomy" :: S8 :: Ep13 "If/Then"

It was interesting to re-imagine characters after 8 years of seeing them a certain way...

"Criminal Minds" :: S2 :: Ep8 "Empty Planet"

Yey for re-runs...

"How I Met Your Mother" :: S7 :: Ep15 "The Burning Beekeeper "

Dare, I say meh... =/

"The Voice" :: S2 :: Ep2 "The Blind Auditions, Part 2"

The blind auditions are my favorite part! IDK if I will stay for the season yet. We shall see.

"Castle" :: S4 :: Ep14 "The Blue Butterfly"

Flashback Castle all nior style!

Sunday, January 29 - Saturday, February 4th:

Finding Nemo :: 2003 :: Andrew Stanton & Lee Unkrich

Favourite! I can quote basically the whole film. Need I say more?
Okay, it's being re-released in theaters soon in 3D and I am totally going! Probably more than once.

Conversations with Other Women :: 2006 :: Hans Canosa

I flagged this film to watch because I enjoy performances by both Helena Bonham Carter and Aaron Eckhart. I. Loved. The. Cinematography. LOVED IT. The whole film is shot in dual frame and it is beautiful. I also enjoyed that it was 84mins about one night, two lives and a story about love. Totally worth the watch.

Confessions of a Superhero :: 2007 :: Matt Ogens

As a fan of superheroes myself, I flagged this one on Hulu to watch ages ago but I never got around to it. It is currently available on Netflix so I figured it was time. It was a really interesting documentary and at times depressing. It takes a certain kind of wackadoodle to try to make it in Hollywood (some more wackadoodley than others, of course).

Stick It :: 2006 :: Jessica Bendinger

"It's not called gym-nice-tics!" lawls

The Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down :: 2007 :: Paul Sapiano

idk. I like mockumentary movies but the review that this is a late night, nothing else better to do movie is accurate.

TiMER :: 2009 :: Jac Schaeffer

~~Anya from Buffy~~ Emma Caulfield stars in what looked like a sci-fi romcom to me so I was IN. & guess what...I really liked it, like 5-star-liked it, like prolly-will-buy-it-liked it.

Star Trek :: 2009 :: J.J. Abrams

In honor of the sequel currently filming, I had to. I really adore this reboot.

Live long and may the force be with you.

Book Recap: January 2012

2012-02-02T08:16:00.004-07:00

Here is a recap of all the books I read this month!

(as promised)

Click the covers to open their Goodreads page.


4 Jan	8 Jan	11 Jan	15 Jan

17 Jan	19 Jan	23 Jan	25 Jan

Dates listed are dates finished.

The Girl in the Steel Corset :: Kady Cross

If ever there was a single book that makes me love steam-punk, this is it!
Plus it is set in London. So there is that. I am very excited for the next one!

Additionally, this is one of those books where if done correctly would look really good on the silver screen. Jus' sayin'

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? :: Mindy Kaling

I don't watch The Office other than the random re-runs on TBS but home-girl is ADORABLE and hilarious. Equally, this book is adorable and hilarious! I especially loved the chapter 'Best Friend Rights and Responsibilities;' it was both funny and accurate and I want to share it with every one of my best friends!

The Fault in Our Stars :: John Green

I. Love. John Green. Admittedly I have not read or loved EVERY book of his (LFA-really good, AoK-couldn't finish, PT-pledge to read by this summer, LiS comp-not yet read, WGWG w/David Levithan=love) but the man behind the career is pretty phenomenal. #FTL That is why I pre-ordered TFiOS on Day 1 back in June when I knew very little about it. Now, months later, I know I also went in knowing little about it and I think that way is a great way to read this glorious book about young love and life as a kid with terminal cancer which is NOT as sad as it sounds. Promise.
JUST GO READ THIS BOOK, OKAY?!

The Future of Us :: Jay Acker & Caroline Mackler

I really liked the concept of knowing your future and then how to cause "ripples" to change it. Honestly, Josh and Emma kind of got on my nerves at times. There's definitely laughy moments both with talk of AOL (I remember my first IM and email address!!!) and then the talk of Netflix and Facebook.

Lola and the Boy Next Door :: Stephanie Perkins

I had no idea I was going to enjoy this book so much!! Lola is everything I dreamed of being in high school and yet never was (except for the confidence); I enjoyed her themed outfits and wigs even though they creep me out in real life. I loved learning more and more about Cricket (COOL NAME ALERT) as she did. Plus, It was wonderful to have Anna and St. Clair back for a chunk of everything.
But what kept me reading while I was wary in the first two chapters is that Lola's parents are two men who love each other dearly and who she deems as more strict than her parents friends. I love that they are front and center in the book. I love that Lola has a good/great relationship with them. I love that they are just like any other parents in real life (vs book parents who sometimes are hardly present and don't notice when their kids are {insert terrible plot/character here}.

The Secret To Lying :: Todd Mitchell

I didn't know what to make of this book. I liked it, yes, but it hasn't stuck with me the way most books do. I was drawn to the cover in the book store but ended it getting it from the library months later. Here is the summary if you are interested yourself.

Mercy :: Rebecca Lim

For me, the first 100 pages were torture but since I was reading late at night, I didn't notice that I had already hit halfway until I was too tired to read. I felt the first half was too slow and like I didn't know enough about Mercy to care about her. Maybe the way the voice is written left me with scattered information. Yet, the second half I really liked. In that last 100 pages I found myself trying to solve the mystery and couldn't put it down until I finished 3am.

Tempest Rising :: Tracy Deebs

At first I was a tad bit wary but ultimately I feel in love with this book and it's version of mermaids. But seriously, how would I not? says the girl with the water/dolphin tattoo. Book 2 comes out this summer! ;)

&& Harry Potter

I love my leather bound edition! #nerd

Separate from my challenge to read 100 new books, I also decided to re-read Harry Potter this year.

Harry Potter and the ~~Philo~~Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling

This is actually my first re-read of any Harry Potter books since the third movie was released in 2004!
I also have realised how much I miss Harry's world within the pages vs the screen or on Pottermore. (Though I have enjoyed Pottermore!)

PROJECT TELL TAYLOR & GIVEAWAY!!!

2012-02-01T05:38:00.092-07:00

Hosts: Michelle Madow and For Those About to Read

Co-Hosts: Book Briefs, Xpresso Reads, Book Love 101, My Cute Bookshelf

* * * *

WHAT IS "PROJECT TELL TAYLOR?"

I have an eFriend who wrote a book inspired by Taylor Swift's "Love Story" music video.
Her name is Michelle Madow her debut novel is called Remembrance.
She wrote a blog entry a few months ago about how Remembrance was inspired by Taylor Swift's "Love Story" music video. She even wrote a letter to Taylor Swift and sent it to her, along with a signed book!

It's been a few months now, and she has yet to hear back from Taylor that she received the letter and book. She really wants to tell Taylor about how inspiring she and her music have been to her, but since Taylor Swift is an international superstar, she’s a little hard to reach.

This is where YOUR help comes into play! Michelle is giving away the biggest prize pack she's offered yet, and the ways to enter to win are by telling Taylor Swift about Remembrance.

The Goal: Get Taylor Swift to Tweet about Remembrance!

Here is the MASSIVE PRIZE PACK for the Project Tell Taylor Giveaway!

~ A signed copy of Remembrance

~ A signed copy of Vengeance

~ A mask that resembles the one on the Remembrance cover
~ A mask that resembles the one on the Vengeance cover
~ Three signed Remembrance bookmarks

~ Two Remembrance stickers

~ Taylor Swift's "Fearless" CD
(on it is "Love Story," the song that started it all!)

~ Taylor Swift's debut album
("Our Song" and "Teardrops on my Guitar" were also influential to the creation of Remembrance)

~ Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, since it's referred to many times in Remembrance.
(And the new HarperTeen cover is so pretty!)

~ A one-of-a-kind replica of the bracelet Drew gives Lizzie.

You best believe I am entering this giveaway myself!!!

About Remembrance

Lizzie Davenport has been reincarnated from Regency Era, England ... but she doesn't know it yet.

Then Drew Carmichael transfers into Lizzie's high school, and she feels a connection to him, almost like she knows him. She can't stop thinking about him, but whenever she tries talking with him about the mysteries behind her feelings, he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with her. Reaching him is even more difficult because she has a boyfriend, Jeremy, who has started to become full of himself after being elected co-captain of the varsity soccer team, and her flirtatious best friend Chelsea starts dating Drew soon after his arrival. So why can't she get him out of her mind?

Even though Lizzie knows she should let go of her fascination with Drew, fighting fate isn't going to be easy.

So you may be asking:

But Kat, have you even read Remembrance?

YES! & you can read my thoughts on it here
OR read other reviews on Goodreads!

I find it sofrakkingcool that Michelle was inspired by Taylor Swift.
Inspiration is hard to come by.

Michelle has been my eFriend for over 7 years since I found her writing blog on mySpace
and being able to watch her follow her dreams has been something beautiful.
But what impresses me most is the fact that Michelle wrote a frikkin book that so many people have read and been inspired by themselves.

So a few weeks ago when I saw Michelle asking on Twitter for bloggers
to help spread the word of Project Tell Taylor, I knew I wanted to help out!

Now how do you help & enter the giveaway..?
Well Michelle has shared the Rafflecopter widget with us
so you can enter direct from my blog! TECH IS SO COOL!

Am I the only one?

2012-01-30T23:18:00.000-07:00

Am I the only one who isn't sold on this?

*takes deep breath*

I just can't. I have tried so hard to stay neutral until the movie...

&& I might eat my words come March because I want so desperately
to have my mind changed over these outfits but for realsthey look like
a blend between Queen Amidala reject outfits and X-men jumpsuits...

A few redesigns later and you've got the Tributes from District 12...

Although I would totally rock Effie's outfit to a costume party, no lie!

I guess I just pictured Cinna and his team designing them something more sleek...Sure it would be mind-blowing but an equal balance between understated and fantastical.
"I am in a simple black unitard that covers me from ankle to neck.
Shiny leather boots lace up to my knees. But it's the fluttering cape
made of streams of orange, yellow, and red and the matching head-piece that define this costume. Cinna plans to light them on fire justbefore our chariot rolls into the streets.
[...]
My face is relatively clear of makeup, just a bit of highlightinghere and there. My hair has been brushed out and then braideddown my back in my usual style. " - page 67
I know that the movie adaptation will ultimately be different. But I stare at the picture above and think of an interview Hugh Jackmandid for X-men press; he said that the faux-leather suits were absolutely
awkward and impractical. Then I sit here and think of the weird rubbing
and squeaking noises that the suits Jennifer and Josh probably make whilewalking around on set and I just can't-- *le sigh* I guess I am just sad and wish that I was as talented asthe folks on deviantART and could draw you my own idea.. So until I wake up one morning with the gift of illustration,I will just have to leave you with a few I found...


via I like everything here but the crown things...

via
I feel that this drawing gives off the idea of a layered costume which I liked.

via
I included this one because I think the firey headpiece
would have given the illusion of burning coals within the hair
and flickering fire would trail behind them...

IDK.I am just a picky fangirl is all! ;)

Sunday, January 22 - Saturday, January 28th:

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo :: 2011 :: David Fincher

I am wickedly loyal to the original Swedish movies so I went to see the "American" version for Daniel Craig lusting opportunities. It worked; I did lust after Craig's Mikael Blomkvist quite a lot. Also, I did like Roony Mara because Lisbeth Salander is one of those roles--a phenomenally complex character; you can't cast someone who can't act to play Salander, the role is too important.
Overall, it was good but I still rate the Swedish film higher.
FUN FACT: The director (Fincher) is from Colorado. Holla!

WALL E :: 2008 :: Andrew Stanton

I love everything about this movie.

Wet Hot American Summer :: 2001 :: David Wain

So funny. I love comedies like this!

Tangled Ever After :: 2012 :: Nathan Greno & Byron Howard

I don't care that this is a 6min short film. It was the cutest 6mins of my week! I heart Maximus and Pascal!!!

The Incredible Hulk :: 2008 :: Louis Leterrier

My next movie in Ryan's "you must watch all of the Avengers before Avengers" request. I also lawl'd at Lou Ferrigno's cameo!

The Prince & Me :: 2005 :: Martha Coolidge

Please excuse me as I swoon over Luke Mably over and over.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo :: 2009 ::
Niels Arden Oplev

Män Som Hatar Kvinnor
After seeing the new version, I had to jump on Netflix and re-watch this one; I just love listening to svenska so much! Michael Nyqvist still captures Mikael Blomkvist in a way that makes me oddly attracted to him and Noomi Rapace is obviously still a complete bad ass!
Plus, I just love the way the story is told. This verison is just less likely to spell out every single detail (unlike the 2011 version) and asks the audience to puzzle out the mystery with Mikael and Lisbeth.

PS. I forgot to post this yesterday & didn't realize until just now...

That's what I get for forgetting to schedule my post!

Next weeks shall be on time! ;)

My face sits in a silly grin for all 21mins.

"Suburgatory" :: S1 :: Ep12 "The Casino Trip"

Not as good as some other ones but still funny.

"The Graham Norton Show" :: S10 :: Ep13 "Kenneth Branagh, Zach Braff"

Guests: Baron Vaughn, Christian Finnegan, Dave Hill and Jessi Klein

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol :: 2011 :: Brad Bird

I went in because of Simon Pegg and I left absolutely entertained! ps. Jeremy Renner is going to kick ass as Hawkeye!

She's the Man :: 2006 :: Andy Fickman

I love this movie! Amanda Bynes is definitely one of my favs; she's hilarious and adorable. And you gotta love when a girl can play some kick ass ~~soccer~~ football. ;)
Plus, Channing Tatum is a cutie pie.

Iron Man :: 2008 :: Jon Favreau

Well. It's Iron Man.

Without a Paddle :: 2004 :: Steven Brill

Such silly fun with a hilarious cast!

Waiting for Forever :: 2011 :: James Keach

This movie is so beautiful in the loveliest strange way.

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time :: 2010 :: Mike Newell

Gemma is lovely and Jake is totally hot. But this has been discussed before.

We Bought a Zoo :: 2011 :: Cameron Crowe

I am in love. This movie is beautiful! I am a total animal lover and if I had a crazy huge inheritance I would be out buying my own zoo right now!
Not to mention Matt Damon, keeper of many swoons. He was very "handsome." And the little girl who played his daughter?! CAN I HAVE ONE!? She was too precious! "Their happy is too loud."
The rest of the casting was brilliant and I can even say I didn't want to punch her too much, which is also saying something.

Things I Think :: 69th Golden Globes

2012-01-16T09:01:00.012-07:00

Last night I watched the Golden Globes or

The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards.

Host: Ricky Gervais! ♥

I heart Ricky! Spoiler alert: he wasn't in most of the show!
At least he is laughing his way to the bank. ;)
Johnny Depp, how do you defy age?
PSA for Brad Pitt: CUT YOUR HAIRS!
Christopher Plummer, oh Captain Von Trapp, my Captain!
Ashon cleaned up his face and cut his hair and the world rejoiced!
Then there was those mandatory awkward pauses
because the tech stopped working...
Julianne Moore is an adorable woman.
DOWNTON ABBEY FTW!
Why do I always forget that Kate Winslet is British?
Jake Gyllenhaal is attractive. This isn't new news.
other stuff happened, people won, I saw more cute black bow ties on!
Original Song was all like Elton John vs Madonna. That queen is PISSED. And by queen, I mean Queen Elton!
I wish Madonna would pull a Britney-go crazy and a Lohan-lose her career.
I am happy Michelle Williams is back in the A-list spotlight; she's lovely and adorable.
~~OH HAI BUFFY!~~ Ohai SMG! Hey, girl, hey!
I have been a fan of Peter Dinklage since The Station Agent; so I am happy he won!
George Clooney, how are you so silverfoxy?!
I heart kids movies! They should win ALL THE AWARDS!
I missed a bit over my RAGE BLACKOUT.
Awwww Dustin Hoffman, I am sad that you are getting older than silverfoxy.
Claire Danes is precious. If anyone was going to take Hugh Dancy off the market, I am happy it was her.
You could go swimming in Thomas Jane's dimples.
Those puppies are deep!
Helen Mirren is the shit. A total bamf.
Again, Morgan Freeman is the definition of classy.
Oh, RDJ. That is all.
Once I could actually see the whole dress, I liked Angelina Jolie's look.
Martin Scorsese, when you see the eyebrows first and the bow tie second!
My fingers were crossed for New Girl but I am proud of Modern Family.
Sofia Vergara is The Cuteness dressed in Sexy.
As someone who didn't know of The Artist until this show, Joseph Gordon-Levitt was ROBBED!
Love. Him.
Another disappoint was Meryl Streep winning for a role that should have been filled by an English actress. On the other hand, at least they didn't cast Madonna. #gag
Natalie Portman walking to the wrong mic to present...
So cute.
Then George Clooney and his movie won and I was bored and disappointed again.

So yes... Once again

I watched an award show that was only worth my time because

I had nothing better to do!

Oh well.

I hope you enjoy these pictures of pretty people in expensive clothes anyway!

Ryan says Hey ladies.I say Hey, boy, heyyy!

AND

I leave you with this amazingness:

Sunday, January 8 - Saturday, January 14th:

Tangled :: 2011 :: Nathan Greno & Byron Howard

I watched this at my parent's house with my mum; it was the first time she'd seen it. :)

Dead Like Me: Life After Death :: 2009 :: Stephen Herek

I count this as a movie because can stand alone from it's TV series, kinda. You probably won't enjoy it as much but I love watching it when I don't have time to re-watch the whole series.

Water Lillies :: 2007 :: Céline Sciamma

It was good? idk. It was like a foreign Spring Awakening that wasn't as traumatic and had synchronized swimming.

Life in a Day :: 2011 :: Kevin MacDonald and team

So good. So beautiful. So happy I watched it again. (on Netflix)"Life in a Day is a crowdsourced documentary film comprising an arranged series of video clips selected from 80,000 clips submitted to the YouTube video sharing website, the clips showing respective occurrences from around the world on a single day, July 24, 2010."
-via Wikipedia.
Yes, I submitted my own footage; no, it is not in the final film.
I first watched the final film project on a live YouTube stream from it's premiere at Sundance. I am definitely going to need to add it's DVD to my collection.

Hairspray :: 2007 :: Adam Shankman

Link Larkin. That is all.
Well, really I like this movie in general.

Jawbreaker :: 1999 :: Darren Stein

I heart this cult classic! ♥

Tinker Tailor Solider Spy :: 2011 :: Tomas Alfredson

I think this movie is further proof that I was probably born in the wrong country. I loved everything about this film.

Things I Think :: People's Choice Awards

2012-01-12T11:11:00.005-07:00

Last night was the People's Choice Awards.

I watched it. Here are my rambles.

I hope you enjoy his hot mess of a blog.

I. Love. The Big Bang Theory.
Kaley Cuoco is adorable.
Liam Neeson is really tall. Really tall.
I fell more in love with Emma Stone.

Ellen can win always & forever. She is the shit.
Betty White is freaking adorable. And also a badass.
When Lea Michelle wins things that are not for musical theatre I want to punch her in the face.
My girl crush on Jennifer Lawrence continues to grow. #isitMarchyet?
Neil Patrick Harris deserves ALL THE AWARDS!!!
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE DEMI LOVATO!!!
my #soulmate and I meeting Demi
But she is better live in concert than live on TV.
{I kinda checked/zoned out for a bit. Oops.}
Awwww! Alyson Hannigan has a baby bump! #fangirling
Am I over Adam Sandler?! Oh please tell me it ain't so!
Every actor up for "Star Under 25" I love.
Chloe Grace Moretz is adorable.
Maroon 5 won because of the sexy lead. And maybe the whistle song. Foo Fighters or Coldplay would be more accurate.
Zachary Levi makes me swoon.
!!! WATER FOR ELEPHANTS !!!
I voted for Nathan Fillion. I will always vote for Nathan Fillion.
I love Nathan Fillion. Seriously. #asymbolofexcellenttaste AND HE WON!!!
Sorry David. I still love you.
The BTS skits drove me bonkers. I bet the actors want to shot themselves. Or do they get to drink...?
Oh, the things I would do to/with/on Ian Somerhalder.
There were some really good Movie-Comedy options. Bridesmaids was hilarious though.
Faith Hill? Cool, love her but what?
David Boreanaz and Busy Phillips is win. I approved.
Seriously. Betty White is ________________-too amazing for words.
She reminds me of my Grandma, who is also a total bamf!
Helllloooooooooo Ewan!
Morgan Freeman is the definition of classy.
Really? Two Broke Girls? What were the other options because I don't remember.
Favorite TV Comedy went to HIMYM!!

&& now for my own award that I just made up ~~so I could include Rob~~...

BEST PHOTO OF RANDOM EPICNESS GOES TO:

So. Did you watch?

Was it as brutal with some gems as I thought it was?

Most pictures via Tumblr  

What The Hell Is A Hanklerfish??

2012-01-11T17:41:00.001-07:00

If you have been on my Tumblr account, well mostly my Twitter,
you may have seen #tfios/TFiOS or #HANKLERFISH dominate my feed
and then found yourself a little confused....

This video is to help with that confusion.

If you are a Nerdfighter who had had their friends ask
"What the hell is a hanklerfish?!"
feel free to send this to them <3

Telly Tuesday: January 3rd - January 9th

2012-01-10T09:45:00.001-07:00

The 500 Episodes in a Year Challenge

The goal is simple: 500 episodes in a year. 

Each episode counts as just one: if it’s 20 min long, 

it’s still 1  episode, not just half. If it’s, lets say, a Sherlock episode,

 one hour  and a half, it’s still just 1 episode, not 2 or 3 or 4.

 This is way less  than 2 episodes per day, so it’s not impossible at all,

 in fact in 2010  I reached this goal in half a year.

 So yeah homes. Watch all the episodes!

{via}

So here I am on the blog holding myself accountable with the new segment Telly Tuesday!

Every Tuesday for 2012, I am going to recap all of my episodes!

You'll see a list with the show, the season/series, the episode

&& maybe a quick blip of my feelings toward the show/episode!

Sound fun!? I think so! Feel free to join in!

&& let me know in the comments if you do!

So here we go!

***

"Casanova" :: Miniseries :: "Episode 2"

Where David Tennant tries to break my heart.

"The Big Bang Theory" :: S5 :: Ep3 "The Pulled Groin Extrapolation"

This show! I love it so much!

"Eureka" :: S2 :: Ep9 "Sight Unseen"
S2 :: Ep10 "God Is in the Details"
S2 :: Ep11 "Maneater"
S2 :: Ep12 "All That Glitters"
S2 :: Ep13 "A Night at Global Dynamics"
S3 :: Ep1 "Bad to the Drone"
S3 :: Ep2 "What About Bob?"
S3 :: Ep3 "Best in Faux"
S3 :: Ep4 "I Do Over"
S3 :: Ep5 "Show Me the Mummy"
S3 :: Ep6 "Phased and Confused"

I like Eureka. I really do. And I know I am going to like it even more once Wil joins the cast but getting there is the hard part--knowing that Awesome is waiting for me. Hence the laundry day marathon.
ps. "I Do Over" = me HEARTBROKEN!

"Suburgatory" :: S1 :: Ep10 "Driving Miss Dalia"

I really like this show. A lot. Plus I'll follow Tudyk (telly-wise) anywhere!

"The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" :: S17 :: Ep31 "Wed, Dec 7, 2011"

Where Voldemort does Shakespeare and it is perfection.
S17 :: Ep36 "Thurs, Dec 15, 2011"
Where Matt Damon is the guest and I think very un-family-rated things about him. Well. Or I guess they could be considered family-rated things. ;)

"Modern Family" :: S3 :: Ep11 "Lifetime Supply"

I hold so much love for this show!

"Grey's Anatomy" :: S8 :: Ep10 "Suddenly"

TEARS! So many tears! So many feeeeeelings!

"Buffy the Vamipre Slayer" :: S1 :: Ep12 "Prophecy Girl"

Going back to my TV roots. #Buffyismyfavorite

"Happy Endings" :: S2 :: Ep10 "The Shrink, the Dare, Her Date, and Her Brother"

Perfection? No, but close! And Penny certainly is!

"Parenthood" :: S3 :: Ep12 "Road Trip"

This is just such a quality show.

"Pan Am" :: S1 :: Ep10 "Secrets and Lies"

mmmm...I don't know how I feel about this episode. =/

"Once Upon a Time" :: S1 :: Ep8 "Desperate Souls"

What about this show sucks me in so deeply!? I am so hooked!

"Castle" :: S4 :: Ep11 "Til Death Do Us Part"

Man, I love this show. I missed seeing Nathan Fillion on my TV every week.

"The Office" :: S2 :: Ep16 "Valentine's Day"

The more I watch re-runs on TBS, the more I get sucked in...
