At random ...

[apocalypsos]

-- I was just watching "Fear Her" on Sci-Fi and my first reaction to Rose getting excited about the Olympics was, "Oh, sweetie, you wouldn't be so happy if you'd seen the official logo." Which, if you haven't seen it, miggy has some very good points about why it sucks here, although seeing it is enough to recognize just how awful it is. (It doesn't help that the design company is all, "Everybody is all wrong and we're right and you're all prejudiced!" Oh, bitch, please. Whoever first said it looks like Lisa Simpson giving head was terrifyingly dead-on.)

-- Isaiah Washington was fired from GA, it seems. On some level it annoys me just how much press it's gotten because seriously, that's a pretty decent-sized spoiler for next season if Burke's not going to be back to deal with the fallout of leaving Cristina at the altar, and I may be a ginormous spoiler whore but I know there are people who are totally against spoilers and it's gotta suck to have it ruined a little like that.

On the other hand, Shonda was patting herself on the back over her "cliffhangers" in the series finale and then Isaiah getting fired and TR getting signed for a few more seasons hit the news. HA. I'm sorry, but so much for any sort of surprise regarding the next season. Burke won't be around and if George transfers at all it won't be for long. (I can't see them filming him working at another hospital for too long, can you?)

I think I may just be a little offended that she thinks those were cliffhangers when last season my show hit their three main characters with a big fucking truck and LEFT THEM THERE. Now THAT'S a goddamn cliffhanger.

-- Yeah, so I watched the Top Chef All-Stars yesterday.

Ilan's such a fucking skeeve. Have I said that lately? I have? Yeah, well, it begs for reiteration. The fake bling, the ugly hair carvings, barging into season one's discussion area and hogging food from the pantry. *smacks* I've known guys who looked and acted like that. When I was in ninth grade. IN 1991.

Yes, Elia, it's always Marcel's fault. JESUS.

Having said that, Marcel, stop feeding them ammunition. Yes, I know they're punks and assholes and if I found out either one of those idiots was cooking at a restaurant I'd gone to I'd turn right around. But sweetheart, darling, honey -- *grabs your scrawny little shoulders and shakes* -- stop taunting the zoo animals! Maybe you don't like playing the victim but it makes them look that. much. WORSE. (On the other hand, I did laugh my ass off that you beat Ilan with a saffron foam. HA! Fucking one-trick Spanish pony.)

I really wish people on this show would stop saying Sam's a hottie. No, he's not. He's covered with a thin layer of slime. Quit trying to convince me otherwise.

As for season one -- WIN. Win across the board, and for goddamn good reasons. Harold still doesn't put up with bullshit! Stephen's smug attitude is actually heartwarming and endearing compared to season two! Tiffani finally turned into a bitch you can support! Dave flipping out! Look, Lee Anne lost weight and look faaaabulous! WIIIIIIIIN. Way to make season two look like the whiny bitches they are.

And season three? Oh, you are so going to get your asses kicked by the judges. Colicchio's going to OWN you. (Not that I don't already want to pimp-slap half of them already. Micah especially, because that commercial where she says she's definitely not vanilla because vanilla is "boring" pisses me off. I love vanilla, damn it. *grumbles*)

-- Okay, seriously, if you like CW RPS at all and there's nothing you have to do for a few hours, you have GOT to go read Monogatari by winterlive. It's Jared/Jensen, and they're samurai, and I can't even. *flails* When the list of Bigbang stories came out this was one of the ones that immediately went on my must-read list, so when it went up I completely spazzed out. It's insanely well-researched and well-written, and it's hot and sweet and brilliant, and I kind of want to pet my computer screen each time I go back to read it. (I've read it three times since yesterday but haven't gotten to comment yet -- sorry, Danny, ohmigod, but it keeps breaking my brain with happy. *smishes you*)

So, yes, go read. *pushes you towards the story*

-- I have a list of story ideas and the entire day to myself. Wheeee! :)

...miko_no_da just pointed out that the logo spells 2012

Or rather:

20
12

It's the first time I've seen someone actually come up with an explanation of what the hell the logo might MEAN! To me, it just looked like a random, ugly collection of shapes.

...It still looks like an ugly collection of shapes to me, but also kinda like numbers. And the idea behind it is just retarded.

[maharetr.livejournal.com]

Jesus, that logo is fugly. I didn't even realise those shapes were supposed to be numbers until I thought: "Hey, all those other logos have the year in them, why doesn't... oh."

Lisa Simpson giving head indeed. *stares* *is creeped*

[treelines.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. I hope the Queen comes out and chokes a bitch. That is one fugly, fugly logo. (A part of me wants to send miggy's collection of olympic logos to the Go Fug Yourself girls. See how they destroy it.)

VANILLA IS NOT BORING. Man, that pissed me off, too. Has anyone actually had real vanilla bean who's said that? JEEBUS. Next person who says it gets a fistful of obvious in their face.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Every time she says vanilla is boring in the commercial I want to throw things at the TV. Then again I take hits off the vanilla extract bottle every time I open the kitchen cabinet, so ... heh. :)

"Whoever first said it looks like Lisa Simpson giving head was terrifyingly dead-on."

Why why why did you have to say that, now when I look at it that's all I see. :(

[paranoidgrl.livejournal.com]

It's not that I don't like the London logo; it's just that it's made up from leftovers from the credits to Saved by the Bell.

[milkshake-b.livejournal.com]

Tiffani seemed at least a little less blunt and abrasive, too--might have just been editing, but she did say she got to look at herself and see some flaws, which none of S2 would even acknowledge. And... she looked damned good in a tie. Who knew?

I watched most of the season 1 marathon beforehand, and want to know why they never reshow the reunion.

[mcee.livejournal.com]

the only good cliffhanger shonda's ever pulled was the arrival of addison at the end of season 1. and that wasn't even really a cliffhanger, more like a BANG. but then that was s1 for ya.

*isn't bitter or anything*

Word, man. I remember screaming out loud when that happened, man, Kripke knows how to hurt us hard.

Word.

As for the Olympics design thing. Apparentally there's an ANIMATED version that had to be taken down for fear of causing seizures.

[squee1123.livejournal.com]

also *flail* i see the lisa simpson thing now! my eyes!

[random-serious.livejournal.com]

The olympic logo... at least the colors are odd. I mean, bright bright yellow and sort of purplish color? It makes my eyes hurt at least.
