I can now add two other shows to my pantheon of "TV shows I've become addicted to while searching for work".

NCIS: Los Angeles and Supernatural.

Those two shows are so alike, it's crazy. *snort* My brain and tastes are strange, I swear.

I just finished watching the 3rd season premiere of Supernatural, (on the night when the 7th season premieres, so only 4 more seasons to go!!), and I'm ridiculously addicted. I love watching those two brothers fight evil and be snarky and angsty and willing to sacrifice everything for each other. I've somehow not spoiled myself too badly for the show, (I know that Castiel, the angel, shows up at some point, but I honestly don't know any of the details and I don't want to), and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next.

NCIS: LA has that same kind of work/family vibe I love with my TV characters and I plan on watching the season premiere sometime this weekend, so I can find out what happened to Hetty.

Also? Tonight is Fringe and Nikita and Haven night and I couldn't be happier. *rolling around in geeky/sci-fi heaven*

My summer has been a bit crazy with the continuing, (hopefully will end soon), job search, my writing, trying to find a new roommate, and figuring out how I'm going to pay my bills.

A few quick pop culture things:

-Loved the new Harry Potter film and Captain America. I can not wait for the Avengers film next summer, as well as the new Spiderman movie, (my crush on Andrew Garfield has reached stupidly high proportions and I'll probably be asking for his films on DVD for my birthday. My friend has a crush on Jesse Eisenberg and she joked that watching Social Network YT vids would probably make the both of us cry. Basically TSN is our crack). ;)

-Watching and loving the second seasons of Pretty Little Liars and Haven this summer. I continue to adore Spencer, Toby and Hanna on PLL and Audrey and Nathan on Haven. I can't wait to find out how Audrey, Nathan and Duke are really connected to the overall arc/history of the Troubles.

-Panic! at the Disco are my favorite band of the moment/year/all time. Their concert in May was fucking amazing and I've been loving all the crazy stuff that's come out of the other concerts on their summer tour. I wish they didn't also have to deal with some bad RL stuff, but it's amazing to see how their senses of humor and their friendship has gotten them through the bad days. Brendon's cover of (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding is fantastic and Brendon and Spencer's friendship will always make me smile. :)

-I also re-watched the first three seasons of Merlin to get caught up before the fourth season starts and my opinion regarding a few things has changed slightly.

a couple of rambling opinions about the characters and plot of Merlin. Mild spoilers for the 4th season )

Off to do a bit of writing and to catch up with my emails. If there are any good publishing/editing/writing/assistant type jobs in NYC that you've heard of recently, please pass along the links. I need all the help I can get. ;)

I've been very, very lazy when it comes to updating this journal/sending emails/etc. There have been periods of malaise lately and it's been hard to break out of this perpetual funk. Feeling a little better this week and I've worked up a to-do list and I want need to get some writing done.

So, in honor of this "must write now!" mood, I'm going to babble about some of the TV shows I've gotten hooked on in the past few months.

There might be spoilers for all of the shows I talk about below. If you want to remain completely spoiler-free, you've been warned.

Fringe )

Haven )

Misfits )

Nikita )

Pretty Little Liars )

After writing out that mini-opus about all the TV shows I like now, I've gotten a few ideas for some meta posts in the future. Mainly regarding why I love shows that feature non-biological families, (friends/co-workers that bond together), and how awesome it is that most of my recent TV show favs include strong female lead characters.
