A lovers lap to lay my head...

New Keane album = BEST THING EVER. I am utterly, utterly addicted "Atlantic", I think it even beats "Bedshaped", and that's saying a lot for me!

Finished season one of Rescue Me today, and salkflk;ksfds JANET IS A BIATCH. Not that this is a newsflash, LOL, but wow. That was low. And yeah, [livejournal.com profile] crystalkirk, you're totally right--no Johnny at Momma Gavin's funeral? WTF? Not enough Johnny in S1, period. Franco also earned more points with me as well, and Sean is so much love. I'm still convinced RM has the hottest women of any cast of any current TV show. Guh. No wonder Tommy's all about the lesbian action.

I think one of the things I really love about this show is that it's not afraid to take risks where its characters are concerned. Like Oz, there aren't really any truly "good" people on this show--they're all inherently flawed, just like real life, and I think we tend to forget that most shows (at least on network TV) take the easy way out a lot of times. But to have a main character that is so massively self destructive and fucked up, and yet still make him sympathetic and vulnerable...that's just damn good writing. Denis Leary is so awesome, I really hope he gets an Emmy nod this year.

I'm fighting the urge to watch my torrents of 2.1 and 2.2 tonight, because I desperately need to write. Like, something. It's been too long.

I always thought that the ending scene of the first season of RM, with Tommy smashing the shit out of everything in sight, was a pretty damn awesome way to end a season. Janet is an evil bitch and I wish nothing but bad things upon her. God I hate her.

She is EVIL. Gah, the way she just flippantly lies to him to get money and then splits...*stabs* Sheila should've kicked the shit out her last week, LMAO.

I think I'd really really like that show if I watched it--I hear it's darkly funny but dramatic at the same time, so I bet I'd like it.

I'm just too lazy. :P

Is there a season out on DVD I could rent?

[identity profile] foxxcub.livejournal.com 2006-06-12 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
OMG, this show is fucking HILARIOUS. I've thought about doing quote icons, but then I'd be busy forever, LOL. It's so amazing how one second you'll be nearly in tears with laughter, and then the next you're emo.

Yep, both S1 and S2 are out on DVD, and I know my Blockbuster has S1 to rent. :)

[identity profile] rogueapprentice.livejournal.com 2006-06-12 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
O rly? :D Then I shall look on Blockbuster online. Course, it won't get here for months and months cause I have like 900 movies backed up in the queue, but y'know, eventually. :P

[identity profile] rogueapprentice.livejournal.com 2006-06-12 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Score, both seasons. Maybe eventually I'll catch up. :P

And then I was all, "Aleesha doesn't love me anymore." I KNOW, RIGHT?

You're goofy, but I ♥ you.

Oooh, I can't wait to hear it! But I have to wait until I can free up 168 mbs worth of space. Maybe I should have bought that second external hard drive when I was at the Mac store. :-/

*and that damn utility app has been chugging away at the same exact spot for 2.5 hours now. doesn't seem very promising :-( *

Listen to "Atlantic" and "A Bad Dream" first whenever you get it DL'd! :D

I know! The lack of Johnny in the last half of S1 was criminal. I'm so, so, SO VERY glad they got Dean Winters back for 2 and 3.

you're totally right--no Johnny at Momma Gavin's funeral? WTF?

And I'm pretty sure Johnny was supposed to be there (as they've let on as if he was later when they were bitching about Maggie missing it) it's just that Dean didn't film for the ep. So I've always thought of it as that Johnny was there, just off-camera, but there. Major suckage. But at least it wasn't an assy character plot point, just a serious case of "lack of actor", lmfao.

I LOVE SULLY HOLY SHIT. You MUST make me Sully icons, LOL. To go with my Johnny ones, of course. ;D

[identity profile] crystalkirk.livejournal.com 2006-06-12 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
I LOVE SULLY HOLY SHIT.

ME TOO.

Sully: "Don't take your cock out in the kitchen!"
Sean: "What? Why?"
Sully: "I don't know, that's what my mother always said."


Heeeeee! So much Sully love.

And I promise I'll try to make Sully icons when I do more of RM. :)

KEANE = LOVE

That is all.

And if you ever get the chance to see them live..do it, I mean it, they are freakin' fantastic.

[identity profile] foxxcub.livejournal.com 2006-06-12 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh trust me, I envy everyone who's seen them live. I had a chance last year, but then a family event came up and I couldn't go. Keane and Snow Patrol are the two bands I'd kill to see live.

Oh,God-I hate Janet!She is the second most annoying female character!Grrrrr...I'm watching S1 these days and she is my "irritation factor".
But Garrity makes it all better!Such an adorable dumbass,lol-love him!
And I'm very impressed by the little girl who plays Keela:)
Tommy is awesome and uncle Teddy too.And I've heard that there is more Johny in S2.

While I love every song on Hopes and Fears and have a special place in my heart for "Bedshaped", "Atlantic" is just...gorgeous. Emotional and beautiful. The best song on the album. "A Bad Dream" and "Broken Toy" are my other two favs. :)
