tell them stories

1. More gymnastics in this episode=a good thing

2. Ayla Kell's ballet technique shines through. I approve. Even though it makes me cringe when the steps really don't go with the music

3. The eating disorder plot is being handled so well. I AM SO PLEASED. SKINS, THIS IS WHAT I WANTED TO SEE FROM CASSIE. Well, not this necessarily, but something like this.

4. Kim whispering Sasha's name when he showed up on TV. I WILL SHIP THEM FOREVER.

5. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. THE REVEAL ABOUT EMILY IN THE LAST FIVE SECONDS. BRB LAUGHING FOREVER.

ETA: Watching Doctor Who now. River Song is already bothering me. But Amy Pond's hair is gorgeous.

Whoa, guys, whoa. I just realized this: Tamsin Egerton is playing Guinevere in that new show Camelot. Yeah, Tamsin Egerton, that would be the same person who played little!Morgaine in The Mists of Avalon back in the day.

...I don't even know what to make of that. My mind is blown.

I finished the book yesterday and watched the movie today. I really want to like them both, but I don't know if I can. I wanted more emotion. The trailer is brilliant, though. It has all the emotion that I was looking for.

So I'm currently watching the Disney Channel version of Avalon High. It's as bad as is to be expected, perhaps worse. And there's this random extra character who is maybe supposed to be Merlin? I haven't figured that out. But the thing it's done right? When hot boys stare creepily at you, they're actually evil and not Edward Cullen.

ETA: Never mind. They are just Edward Cullen. FAIL.

ETA again: Wait, WHAT. Arthur is a girl? Ah hahahahahahaha! Disney Channel, do you realize what you've done regarding all the shipping possibilities?

Also, no wonder it sounded like they were saying "Ally" all the time instead of "Ellie."

Dear NCIS,

I hate this Tony/Ziva stuff. Mostly, I still watch the show because I miss the way it was. But then you go and pull parallels with kid!Ziva and Daddy David and things like that, and I LOVE IT. Do more of that, please.

My (brief) thoughts on Mockingjay, in chronological order as they occurred:

Dear people in charge of Make It or Break It,

DID THAT EPISODE JUST HAPPEN?

( spoilers )

For those of you who don't follow musical theatre very closely (which I assume is most or all of you), Andrew Lloyd Webber recently came out with a new musical. It's a sequel to Phantom of the Opera, set ten years in the future, although apparently the timeline is a bit messed up.

It gets better.

I'm currently listening to it. I'm halfway through right now. At first, I tried to take it seriously. Then I thought maybe I could think of it as a parody of itself and I'd enjoy it. Now I am listening to it for the lulz. And there are a lot.
