life is a single skip for joy

abvj is running a Mark and Lexie drabble-a-thon over at her journal. You can prompt any pairing as long as Mark or Lexie from Grey's Anatomy is involved. So of course I prompted a lot of Mark/Owen and such, hehe. Head on over there Grey's fans!

→ I haven't been participating that much around here lately and I'm not sure why that is. I'm busy with school and work, but that usually doesn't stop me. I'm just not being a very good flister.

→ lenina20 posted this new Big Love promo which comes back tonight on HBO. I am so happy to have this show back soon. Just, yes. So good.

→ ( My condensed thoughts on BSG 4.11, Sometimes a Great Notion. )

→ I interrupt this review to bring you pictures:

→ I finally finished Atlantis. I have no review just... I'm going to miss it. When's the movie coming out?

→ Watched some movies this weekend. Wristcutters: A Love Story. I love Tom Waits. Biggest motivator to watch it. But I really, really, did not like this movie. Someone who liked it please explain to me why so many people like this? On the reverse, The Nanny Diaries was pretty cute and I really enjoyed The Lucky Ones with Tim Robbins and Rachel McAdams. Worth the watch, both of them.

→ I started watching The Magnificent Seven and it's pretty adorable so far. I could do with less extended gunslinging showdowns. Keep those shorter! They bore me! But I'm kind of in love with Ezra and I totally ship him and Chris. "Never run out on me again." COME ON!

→ Veronica Mars movie? I could totally get on that. I just need to finish watching season three now.

→ Holy crap this entry's long.

→ That "post ten celeb crushes" meme is going around again and every time I've ever tried to do it I can't seem to come up with ten people to fill the spaces. I can never commit to anything. I'm so fickle. Fickle's a funny word.

→ I'm still behind on, well everything. Shows and flist and... everything. And I have fic to write which I haven't started on. And there's no way I'm going to make my "make a fanvid by the end of the year" promise/vain hope. But never say never. I do feel a bit bummed about all of that though. Or a lot bummed. Whichever. Oh, and! I still haven't sent my cards out. I've got them all written and everything. I just need to take them to the post office and do the damn thing. Just one more thing! Why am I so damn whiny?

→ Grey's Anatomy casting spoiler here from slybrunette. ( Thoughts. )

→ You know what I don't get? Stress balls. They were giving out relaxation baggies in the hall because it's the week before finals. In them there's this little bear stress "ball" thing. (Except it's totally not a ball, it's a bear.) I don't understand it! That does not relax me. I don't think I've ever been stressed and gone, "gah! I just wanna squeeze something super hard and watch it bounce back to it's regular shape!" I dunno. Maybe that's just me.

→ Buffy Box Set on sale today at amazon for $69.99. And I thought I got a good deal getting it at $99 bucks back when I bought it. I think amazon usually sells it for $149 or there-about.

→ Jason Momoa, of SGA, -see icon- was apparently attacked last week and had to get 140 stitches in his face, and re-constructive surgery. Holy crap! I am beyond stunned at this news. Poor guy. I don't even know how to imagine anyone's face with 140 stitches in it. Jesus.

→ Loved Grey's Anatomy last night. ( my c&p'ed reaction ) This show is really just getting better and better. I don't care if people are hating on it right now. In so many ways it reminds me of why I love TV.

→ I am now about four episodes behind on Friday Night Lights. I don't know what my problem is there. I also haven't watched Pushing Daisies this week yet. With news of its cancellation, I may just try to stretch this out as long as possible, hehe. I can save them up for a rainy day!

→ I had yummy chocolate cake and pizza today for my birthday at work! I got a sparkly pink magic wand, also! Hehe. So adorable! I love my job.

So someone I know *cough* dayln03 *cough* is vidding to Swans by Unkle Bob. Which, if you're a Grey's Anatomy buff, you'll know was featured in the episode Some Kind of Miracle. The scene? Spirit!Denny and Izzie more or less say their goodbyes. See here: ( I see you, you see me, differently )

It was one of those beautiful, breathtaking, nearly dialogue-free moments that really only Grey's can pull off. And yet... this was the very last episode that I ever watched. Just quit. Cold turkey. And you'd think maybe it was because I hated it? No. It was a hell of an episode. And I really loved the show, too. I just... I had this feeling that it was going to be the last episode I would like? I don't know. I just stopped. Entirely, suddenly, with no real precedence.

(I've seen clips and stuff since, but that's it.)

So I was talking to Dayln about it, about that song and that scene and that episode. And this was before she and I were as close as we are now, and come to find out that we both were fans of the show and both of us quit watching the show directly after that episode in much the same fashion. Just up and quit for no real reason other than... it was over for us.

So looking back and thinking about it, both of us were wondering if it didn't have anything to do with the whole Izzie/Denny epic!love, it's-over-now-for-real, moment. The catharsis of it was so final, maybe? I dunno! Either way it's a weird coincidence.
