I should say Irish summer rain since it hasn't stopped here ALL day, but I hear our neighbours are having a rough time of it too (plus, I can't just change lyrics to a song).

Still computerless, and still very much hiding out in a net cafe. It's nice and warm here, though.

I won't make a big song & dance about it since this particular sheep never really made any herself, so all I'll say is: Lin, I hope you come back for a wee visit some time soon. Until then, enjoy those experiences you're lookin' for and I hope life treats ya well. You'll be missed!

*does a little number and a bit of a jig*

Thanks for all of the comments on my last blog, some of them had me ROFL'N in here...there were looks, I tell ya. LOOKS.

Since I've had no net to surf, I've been just watching DVDs. A lot of them.

Er...my fone has just been playing a really crap song and I just realised now since Im listening to my Ipod...wow...

Oh yeah, DVDs.

After a so-so first half, the second half of Supernatural really got going as soon as Meg came onto the scene. The last two episodes were corkers, and that cliff-hanger was great, wasn't it?! Oh yeah, my online orders were declined, well, two of them were. Guess which ones? Yup, my dose of Winchester! I just re-ordered.

The same with this series, I've been reviewing it episode by episode, but dont have the time now (obviously). After one or two meh episodes, the first season of Dark Angel ends with some GREAT stories, especially involving Tinga, and yep, it also has a really cool cliff-hanger.

I've started watching the rest of the 3rd season of Smallville, and just watched Truth and it's a perfect example of how weak the show can be and how serious and stuck up it is as a series. On ANY other series, they could have loads of fun with the premise, but after one or two fun moments, it's all turn-our-backs-on-each-other-and-pine scenes, and miss Mack playing a total bitca. I can't wait till season four, which is when I fall Madly in love with Chloe and Allison Mack

As you can see I'm not really watching anything new (other than finishing Chuck) so I'll catch ya's soon. I'm off to visit blogs, cos I need some entertainment!

*Again, i just couldn't be bovvered to stick this into word and correct spelling. Sorry.

Hey, just a quick heads up that I am NOT IGNORING YOU.

OK, maybe you.

Both laptops have suffered an overdose of electricity and both have fried, which means 3 weeks of waiting for repairs.

*collective aww*

I'm in a net cafe right now...yeah.

*collective weep*

No, don't cry. Be strong. Live...for me

Anyways, I actually just bought a load of random stuff online for the first.time.ever.

Can't wait for them.

By the by, Chuck is an awesome series, and I've finally stopped hating Supernatural and have ordered seasons 2 and 3, among other things.

From a guy in a net cafe,

Later!

*please excuse any spelling mistakes, im just not bovvered.

I've been having a hard time of it as of late and not really wanting to blog, so I thought I'd add to the lists aplenty on the site at the moment (which I'm enjoying to no end). As the title suggests it'll be based on my top 20 episodes.

Carnivale

Babylon/Pick a Number

While it's by no means the best of the series, this two-parter of sorts is certainly an example of how to make good television; tragic, funny and entirely inappropriate, it not only adds to the ongoing arc but manages a death as dark and saddening as a certain miss Burkle's unfortunate demise.

South Park

The Jeffersons

It was this very episode of South Park that cemented my love for the show. Michael Jackson is an easy target, but it's taken to hilarious extremes in this instance and it's all the funnier for it. It was a close one between this episode and the Jennifer Lopez episode, but I got more laughs out of this.

Father Ted

Speed 3

One of the funniest episodes from one of the funniest series ever created. If you've never heard of this show then you need a kick up the arse. OK, you don't, but what you really need is to get your hands on this show. STAT.

Heroes

Company Man/Five Years Gone

It was too difficult to choose one over the other, so I'm having a joint entry. Company Man just blew me away and Five Years Gone had me fangasming like no 2moro. Both exceptionally made episodes - if you ever wanted to know why everyone made a fuss over season one, these two episodes are the perfect examples!

Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog

It's technically an episode, right?! I enjoyed it upon first viewage, and then loved it upon second viewage. I do not think it's Joss' best work, but as a piece of distracting entertainment, there's nothing like it. The last five or so minutes had me gasping, I should have expected it though since Joss is the source of all evil. Can't wait for the DVD, woohoo!

Buffy

I only Have Eyes For You

It stands to show how amazing the writing happens to be on this show when a (kinda) standalone episode meshed between some of the season's greatest stories happens to be one of the most absorbing pieces of television. I call it a standalone as the Angel plot doesn't really kick in till the final moments - I enjoyed Gilies thinking it was Jenny and the scoobies reluctantly trying to help him, even tho they thought otherwise. When Angel does arrive on the scene it's fan-bloody-tastic! Those final moments are absolutely stunning!

Battlestar Galactica

The Hub

The calmer storm before the even bigger storm, I chose this particular episode out of many many outstanding episodes because it shows us just how great and complex a character Roslin is. She's one of my favourite things about the show, and while season four turned her cold, which I loved, and also neglected her at times, which I hated, this episode manages to restore my faith in her. Touching, funny, and bloody exciting, it' an acting tour de force from everyone involved and one of the better episode of the season.

Lost

Pilot

I may dislike this show now, but there's no denying that this was one of the best pilots ever. With an extremely likeable cast, an interesting premise and some wonderfully weird moments throughout, this pilot was a gem from start to finish. Season one managed to keep the standard high for quite a while before catapulting into the tedious, but this episode stands the show that Lost was a show to be admired...at least for a spell.

Firefly

Out of Gas

I've always felt this should have been the pilot for the show. It's the perfect episode to introduce your friends to Firefly, at least then they'd willingly sit through the pilot, which, from past experiences, a few of my friends simply couldn't get into. It's shocking, it's funny and a compelling piece of sci-fi - TV rarely gets better than this. Well, ok, maybe it does, with the top 10 coming up soon...

Dr. Who

Blink

If it wasn't for this episode I don't think I'd be watching DW right now. In all honesty, the show hasn't produced another episode to match it so far (although Midnight comes in close, imo). Dr. Who follows a predictable, if undeniably enjoyable formula, but it rarely shifts from its comfortable storytelling zone. Blink, however, does just that - it's creepy and very cleverly written, not to mention very eerie at times. You also have Sally Sparrow...it was love at first sight!

It's 5am.

I have work in two hours.

Happy Friday!

I found out today I have the entire weekend off from work, hurrah! This will mean copious amounts of DVD viewage; working on my almost completed video (which is a lot of fun); a few trips to the gym, followed by some cinema attendage with my brother. I'm avoiding all friends cos I have three birthdays next weekend and it's gonna cost me

DVD Watchage

I'm ploughing my way through Arrested Development at the moment, and catching an episode of Angel and Buffy on the side (have to find clips and in order to that I gotta watch some episodes – it's a hard life). Other than that I've been catching a few episodes of Mile High, a highly entertaining British series about folk who work at the airport.

What I'm doing right now... Enjoying a glass of milk and a ham, lettuce, cheese, red onion and mayo roll. In case you were wondering...

Did you see...

The animated Buffy clip now online from the proposed – but rejected – series? It looks really good, a bit wobbly where Buffy's voice is concerned, but enjoyable nonetheless. Youtube Buffy Cartoon (too lazy right now to link:p

DVD Collection

Ahh, more to the stockpile: Gladiator (*****), American Beauty(****), Zoolander(****), Starship Troopers(*****) and BeetleJuice(****)

That's it for now. Still have yet to find that blasted wire. I'm thinking of doing a top 10 scenes list and maybe a top 10 character list. I've enjoyed everyone else's so why the frak not?
