The Memoirs Of Cleopatra by Margaret GeorgeTonight is the premiere of NBC's The Event and I'm going to tune in.
Of course. Please don't let it pull a FlashForward on me... I'm still
not fully recovered from the frustration & annoyance.
And in other television news, I'll be tuning in to CBS for Hawaii
Five-0. That's right, it took Daniel Dae Kim & Grace Park to even get
me to remotely care about a show on CBS (yes, I am still annoyed about
Jericho). Someone must have clued in that Lost + BSG= Awesome... or
that since my weekly John Cho dose is gone (FlashForward) I'd need
something else to sigh over. So, for now, thank you to CBS. Here's
hoping that if I love it, the rest of the CBS core audience doesn't
hate it so I don't have to endure another heartbreak like Jericho...
or Harper's Island.
I need to catch up on Rubicon & Mad Men as I missed them last night.
Football got in the way. Sons of Anarchy is still so perfect &
Jax/Tara are crazy awesome. Tara is a woman I understand. When her man
brings the crazy talk, she simply tells him he's not making sense,
rips a room apart & then brings it all back around by basically
telling him that they're both getting off the crazy train he bought
tickets for. Oh, would that Zoey & Nicole have been the same type of
chicas that could have broken it down for the men in their lives,
possibly FlashForward could have had a future that I would have cared
to see. Clay/Gemma still make me go squee. The Jax/Opie bromance gets
me like Adama/Tigh always did. Love. I still want Stahl to pay but I
don't want her gone. She's my SoA version of Lost's AnaLucia. I can't
believe Hale is gone & I don't trust his bro one bit. Shady
McBackstabber... I just know it. Okay, so I've one little question...
Where the hell is Otto?! I miss him & still kinda miss Luanne. And I
still miss Half but the SAMCRO casket he was sent off in was crazy
cool.
So here's to the hope held when about to embark on a new show. May it
be more awesome than cringeworthy & more kickass than WTF?! And should
it fall short, let the pain be numbed by the cable networks which
never fail to deliver.
My latest stash of Bathlife Bath & Body treats arrived in the post yesterday afternoon! So excited! The only thing that's had me holding off on this order was the mad heat we've had this summer। Melted bath & body is no fun. The temp slipped just below the 90s & that was my cue to place an order. Yayness! It's like having a delivery of California in my post box. I've been addicted to Kimberlee of Bathlife's products since 2006 & I don't see that stopping anytime soon. If it weren't for going all pruney, I'd find a way to spend all day in the bath with these. ;)
Clockwise: Silken Body Butter, SugarBaby Body Polish Bars, Back In Flight Handmade Soap (2oz), Newport Ave Handmade Soap (2oz), Skin Perfume Oil, At Venice & Pacific Perfume Oil
I loved the greens used in the yarn I used for this cowl, I wish I had more but alas I do not. The brass buttons just add an extra bit of awesome.
And autumn is fast approaching. Time for pumpkin breads & lattes. Chills on the air and sweaters & scarves. I've a ton of cool things I've made just for this time of years, so stay tuned. :)
It was perfect in execution & all I could say was "OMFG Bryce, Frakkin
Finally!" This of course was after my husband and I had been going
back and forth about whether or not this date they were on was in fact
a date or just an outing between friends. He was sure Bryce was not
only still clueless about his own feelings but also with regard to
reading Nicole all this time & that dinner was just dinner between
platonic friends. I considered the source this opinion was coming from
and decided that while entirely wrong, it was understandable. My
husband was a Bryce at one time and seemed to be under the impression
that I was spending all my free time with him simply because I liked
him solely as a friend, so much so that he was surprised when I
accepted when he asked me out on a real date. Having had this history,
I remained steadfast that Bryce has clearly been in denial but
somewhere inside, he's known that the platonic ship foundered on some
jetty a while ago, so all that needed to be done was wait for him to
just own it and see where it takes him.
It took them to Little Tokyo and their usual good banter complete with
Bryce likening Sea Urchin to "eating someone's thyroid" (we aren't
going to wonder too long about what late night drinking game in Med
School helped him come up with that example, mkay.) and Nicole
refusing to explain to him what a Magwai is. I'm simply horrified he
lived such a deprived childhood that he never saw Gremlins, but that's
a whole other thing. Anyway, at the core of all this banter was
Flash-girl Keiko (whom they're referring to by name now, though they
never firmed that it was indeed her name, but I won't nitpick), who
unbeknownst to Bryce/Nicole was actually inside the restaurant with
her new boss and friend Emil (he helped out Dylan Simcoe on Halloween,
remember?) kicking back a few sakis and chilling in general. Back
outside, Bryce pretty much puts the kybosh on the sushi for dinner
thing and Nicole asks him what he wants to do instead. There's this
sweet look that passes and then Bryce goes in for the kiss.
Sublime. Epic. Squeeworthy. *le friggin sigh*
I could swear that Nicole is having one of those toe-curling moments
for a second or two and then she comes to her senses and freaks a
little and goes on about Bryce kissing her while he's thinking of
another woman and she's just not down with that.
My heart sinks just a little as I yell at the television "OMFG NICOLE! COME ON!"
And then I miss some things, because now I'm yelling "BRYCE, you're
awesome BUT YOUR TIMING IS FOR SHIT!", but catch that there's some
awkwardness between the two of them and some kind of mutual agreement
that they'll just move on like it didn't happen & instead of sushi,
Bryce is to take Nicole out for a burger. And if the rest of this date
isn't fic worthy then nothing is.
Okay, so many other cool non-Bryce/Nicole things happen... and frankly
some not so cool things (ICE Agents, anyone? GRR!) and then we get the
last moment of the ep on the Bryce/Nicole front. He calls her the next
morning (gets voicemail) and starts to apologize for having kissed
her. I'm immediately sure that this will be the moment my ship runs
aground. But Bryce stops in the middle of his apology and says he's
not sorry at all that he's kissed her but he hopes that they're still
cool. And the look on his face was just so adorable. *le sigh* I took
a moment to think about Nicole's face when she listens to his message.
*le sigh again* The ship still sails!
So now the ball is in Nicole's court. Here's hoping next week they'll
realize they've found One Love in each other. And better timing for
both because April 29th is fast approaching & I'm still hoping Bryce
handcuffs her to him that day no matter what else happens.
