So thus ends my three-day weekend. Not a whole lot was accomplished, to be honest. Though I did watch, like, a full season of Angel, ADD'd the crap out of the Golden Globes, started a new scarf, and went to the movies today. OK, so maybe I did get a lot done. By my standards, at least.
( More Angel thoughts )Oh, and today I went to see
Up in the Air, aka the movie I whined about wanting to see like 10 times in my blog last night. It was pretty good, I thought, though not exactly my taste in movies, because it wasn't very flashy and nothing exploded. =P It was pretty grown-up and thinky, which is definitely a change from the movies I've been watching lately. But in a good way! And
( Spoilers for the last 10 minutes ) Anyway, the young girl, Anna Kendrick (who is apparently in Twilight as the normal girl with the boobs who wants to go prom dress shopping), was also really, really good. Her character was adorable and naive yet somehow much, much wiser than George Clooney. Who just made me really sad. Anyway, a good movie all around, and I thought it deserved all the nominations it got for the Globes.
Let's see, what else. HIMYM was pretty good tonight, even if I could see every single plot twist in the A-plot coming from a mile away. At least they didn't kill Lily and Marshall's relationship for another generalization on coupledom (the whole reacher/settler thing), right? Right. Oh, and did anyone catch that new show, Life Unexpected? I watched it because it got good reviews from EW (and because I thought it looked like nouveau-Gilmore, so I was like "score!"). Anyway, it was actually pretty good! I'm going to tune in next week to see what happens next, and because I need some chick-flickness in my life. I've also downloaded Human Target, Chi McBride's new show, but I have yet to watch it. I'm avoiding reviews for now because I don't want my opinion of it tainted beforehand, but I'm excited to finally sit down and watch it.
Did I mention my excitement yet that Neil might be on the episode of Glee Joss is going to direct? Because *SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEE*!!!!!!!!!!
I'm done. For now. Let me round out tonight's issue of "Phoenix Rambles On About Random Crap Forever" with a meme I stole from
turquoisetumult!
( Fic meme! )
