Because it's thirty five freaking degrees, and now with the end of exams I'm a free woman, I'm heading down to the beach for the weekend. However, when I return you can expect a major catch up on TV shows. Especially V and The Good Wife - look out for some serious picspammage!
Until then, I leave you with Elizabeth Mitchell's short shorts. You're welcome ;)

I've been undertaking an Arts/Science double degree for the last five years, and today I had my final exam. So, barring failure, I've pretty much graduated as... an Arts Scientist? With majors in Geology, History and Criminology, making me an... historical geology criminal? A criminally historic geologist? A graduate?
Whatever the label, it's a pretty surreal feeling. I've applied to return next year for Honours in combined History & Criminology, so it's not the last I'll be seeing of Uni (*cough*professionalstudent*cough*), but there is a strong possibility that today was my last exam. Ever. Does such a thing exist?
Anyhew, pop some bubbly, it's celebratin' time!

| FlashForward |
[07 Nov 2009|12:08pm] |
What is everyone thinking of FlashForward? I watched the pilot through, but since then I've found it hard to watch entire episodes. I tend to skip to parts involving those two up there, who are by far my favourite characters (plus John Cho). I think my main problem with the show is that I couldn't care less about the main love triangle - and they keep putting sooo much emphasis on it - but I really don't care about Mark and Olivia's marriage. It doesn't help that I would pick Jack Davenport over Joseph Fiennes any day (I love my Coupling cast members). Yeah, Joseph Fiennes' character is really falling flat for me. I was discussing this with my brother, who agreed but said he got around it by the fact all the other characters are really interesting. But I don't know if that's enough for me, when Mark Benford has sooo much screentime. I think Sonya Walger is gorgeous and very watchable, but her character needs more than just reacting to the men in her life. I do love that Sonya voices the Squirrelio character though. I think I'm just surprised that for a show with such an awesome concept (and by Brannon Braga and David S Goyer) it can be so... dull.
But... as long as Courtney Vance is being hilarious, and as long as Christine Woods is being a freaking mofo badass ninja AND macking on the ladies, I'll keep tuning in.

I haven't watched tonight's episode yet (and by 'tonight', I mean I have no idea what time it is in Americaland) but would you look at the ridonkulous cuteness that is the last 9 seconds of this promo for next week:
That's right, show. No matter how many men you try and throw at Alicia, her chemistry with Kalinda is UNSTOPPABLE. The first half of that promo had me frowning with all the disapproval of a school marm, but then I was grinning like a fool at the second half. Ack, that's unprovoked, organic, mysterious chemistry at work right there, folks. Om nom nom.

Why have a photo of one gorgeous woman, when you can have a photo of two:
And another, because I cannot resist:
Meanwhile, I was reading an article on the most recent episode of The Good Wife, and this part in particular caught my eye:
"[Alicia & Kalinda] pounded the Chicago pavement doing recon work trying to determine which of their jurors had been bribed — acting more like Cagney and Lacey than anyone who’s ever logged billable hours at a posh law practice."
o_O
She says that like it's a bad thing?? Erm, bring on the Cagney & Lacey! Heaven forbid Alicia & Kalinda act like sexy ladycops, pounding the Chicago pavement. Because, y'know, we'd all rather be watching REAL LAWYER STORIES. Bah!

Oh my god, you guys YOU GUYS. I just finished watching episode 4 of The Good Wife and… WOW. We are so used to hunting for scraps of femslashiness in fandom, and suddenly along comes this unassuming family/legal drama and it is just handing us scene after scene of awesome women being awesome together. Like most shows it's all in the subtext, but then sometimes it’s not and I have to pause and be like WAIT WHAT?!
I am of course talking about Alicia & Kalinda, who after only four episodes have had so many *moments* that I could totally write a ship manifesto right now (no really, I’ve started typing it up but I keep getting distracted by the pretty). A week or two ago I picspammed a brief introduction to Team Sexay, and sometime in the near future I hope to picspam their best scenes. I’m also mounting a growing argument for Kalinda’s bisexuality. Something suspiciously Sapphic is going on with our feisty investigator, and tonight we were handed two more clues. Mmm… reading between the lines, it’s what we do best ;)
( Speculation ahoy! )

As if there weren't already enough reasons to love Kristin Chenoweth, she showed her support in yesterday's National Equality March in Washington DC. You're a legend, Kristi Dawn ♥

My other favourite photo from the event? This one. HA!

In which Olivia is generally pensive, adorable, kick-ass and sexy all at once. We also get Olivia + Peter/Walter/Nina Sharp/Broyles/William Bell/Charlie/Astrid AND Walter’s girlfriend, which makes for an excellent episode indeed. Boy does she have chemistry with everybody or what?

In celebration of this, and the fact I've now been using livejournal as a tool of procrastination for five years, I've put together a mini picspam! Just some recent photos of my cat Milo, chasing an acorn around the house.

Mélanie Laurent had me absolutely mesmerised in Inglourious Basterds, which I finally saw the other night. Her performance as the sole survivor of a french-jewish family murdered during WWII was exceptional. Her character, Shosanna Dreyfus truly was the heart and soul of the film. On a totally shallow level she's bloomin' gorgeous, but she brought such emotional depth that you couldn't keep your eyes off her regardless of her intense beauty (intense I tell you!). For all the trauma she experienced, her face was not a mask of grief, but something beyond. You had the feeling she had died inside, along with her family. Mélanie was so convincing in her serious manner, it was almost a shock to see that she's something of a goof on the red carpet. She also appears to be quite the chameleon - she almost never looks the same way twice, unless you count looking gorgeous a style. I had way too much fun putting this picspam together; I hope you enjoy it!
( Mélanie Laurent with bonus Diane Kruger... )
