Mani(a)c Monday

[yendi]

Grr. Woke up to find the DSL down, and Bellsouth apparently doesn't update their automatic status message at night -- I had to speak to a real human being to find out that GA was SOL. This meant that all the early-morning work I normally get done was shot. I normally not only catch up on LJ in the morning, but get a ton of stuff taken care of for work itself. Fuck.

We did get more of Elayna's room taken care of. She's coming home today! I'm so psyched! I can't wait to see how much taller she is, and how she's changed. And to get hugs from her, and see her playing with the new kitty.

Speaking of the cats, we took them into the vet this morning. The poor kitties were whining the entire way in the car. They seemed calmer once they were at the vet's office, though. They both entered their carriers willingly enough, but I think they were surprised when they were trapped. :-)

Oh, and last night's Sex and the City blew. Not only was it the first weak episode this year, but they need some fucking continuity cops -- Miranda was seen smoking pot less then two seasons ago, dammit!

(and, although I've got no fashion sense whatsoever, even I can tell that the designers hate Sarah Jessica Parker this year).

'twas nice to get another new Futurama, though. Complete with hypnotoad and yet another a cappella intro.

Now, I'll attempt to finish catching up on everything from the last 12 hours of LJ, and maybe even accomplish some work.

But they sure are LOVIN' Samantha!!! She has been wearing some killer stuff.

Yeah, we said the same thing. Paul, A, and I were watching last week and this week's SitC, and comments were flying about how bad Sarah Jessica Parker's outfits were last night!

[yendi]

Very true. She needs to be hip to keep up with the Absolut Hunk.

You are not the only one who thought last night was blah on Sex in the City~ I was a little disappointed in it after last week when they ended they had you in tears. (well I was)

Everyone loves the Hypnotoad! 8D

I was, too. Between the Charlotte/Harry thing (as a shlubby Jew, I've really enjoyed seeing this romance), and the Carrie/Jack thing (her throwing the vase was the single most powerful moment her character has had), it was so damned amazing, and then we had this lame follow-up.

I was excited when I saw Harry across the room last week I am such a dork I was cheering. As far as you go I never got that impression frm you so behave!
OMG yes whe she threw the vase it was breath stopping they never expressed anything so well before. I watched it about 3 times last week just to see her throw that vase.

I absolutely adore the Charlotte/Harry romance. I can't wait for the wedding next week. The flash of the dress from the previews was stunning! Then again, a potato sack would look good on her.

The post-it breakup was truly the best reactional scene I've seen in awhile. I was *so* disappointed with last night's episode. I know it's their last season, but come on folks...keep up with the standards.

Also, while I've never been a fan of Carrie's wardrobe, this season seems to be especially tasteless. The girl's not pregnant anymore, put some decent clothes on her!

Futurama

I was especially pleased with the use Black Flag's TV Party.
Why are they yanking that show, even after the emmy win? I suppose that on the upside, they get to end with a bang rather than the wimper suffered by shows that outlived their greatness, like the X-files.

Yes. All glory to the Hypnotoad.

Oh, and last night's Sex and the City blew.

I saw the very first episode and it just didn't grab me. I haven't seen it since.

but they need some fucking continuity cops

It's a problem with a lot of shows past the first season when they have multiple writers and the writers don't always watch every episode before writing a new one, they don't always know what's gone before. They need to hire a fan who watches every show and has good memory to be the continuity person.


And dammit, we didn't watch the Sunday shows last night. Damn.
