Well, this past week has been quite the emotional rollercoaster. I don't know why I'm so crazy and I really shouldn't let a television show do these sorts of things to me* but, well, I kind of love it. Not sure whether that makes me a masochist or not but it sure does make me one very satisfied little fangirl.

What I need at the moment is some good, purging fic to read. It's unfortunate that pretty much everyone else seems to be in a similar catatonic state. =D

At the moment I'm supposed to be writing the first graded paper (a closed memorandum) for my Research & Writing course. It's only 5 pages and apparently fandom has been a great preparatory ground for legal writing but not surprisingly I'm unable to focus. The good news is that it's not due till Tuesday.

Yesterday had a therapeutic viewing of the Zack Snyder remake of Dawn of the Dead with the Baylor Sister. Nothing like some zombie violence to cleanse the mental palate. Also had a chance to comiserate with the Baylor Cousin over the cancellation of Jericho. It was her most favorite show on tv and she is in mourning for the loss of Jake Green's ass. It is her first fangirl experience in having a favorite show cancelled out from under her and that's always hard. Cancelling Jericho and keeping Ghost Whisperer was really one of the stupider decisions CBS has ever made (and that's saying something). Makes me wonder what kind of information Jennifer Love Hewitt has over those fuckers.

It looks nice outside. Maybe I should go enjoy the day, or something.

*Supernatural at its best tends to stir up all sorts of my very well buried issues causing all sorts of turbulence in my generally still emotional pool which leads me to do things like mindlessly stare at the wall, fits of hysterical laughter followed by fits of hysterical sobbing, and all topped off with manic surfing of the internet at all hours of the day and night (X-Files also had a tendency to cause a similar response, ya'll should've seen me after 'Anasazi' and 'Gethsemene'). It's not helped when my "friends" start drawing allusions to Frodo and Sam and Cirith Ungol and going over the Sea and I refuse to start crying all over again.

I'm so with you in the emotional wreck boat. Our show owns me, and only hurts me because it loves me, but shit, man. I kept randomly crying all yesterday. Have been more able to hold my shit together today, but it still gets dodgy.

Did manage to write a draft of my paper that's due Tuesday. So this afternoon I get to write. Of course, now I don't feel like writing. I feel like lying on my couch and watching more Supernatural.

Funny, that.

And you know what the crazy thing is? That was a happy ending. That was Kripke absolutely sure the show was being cancelled and giving us a finale we could walk away from with satisfaction and contentment and it still did this to us!

One of these days I'll be able to accomplish something. Unfortunately, today is not that day. *facepalm*

You read my review of the season/series finale of "Jericho" right? Dayum! And just when Jake's hair was getting long and messy and he was getting all dirty and lone leader angsty! I demand a 2-hour movie to tie up loose ends and kill the evil Daniel Benzali's wrong-way-flag-waving ass!!! With Skip!!!

Ah, well. Anyhoo, you know perfectly well J-Love does not need any blackmail when she can simply sic Liebgott on Les Moonves' ass. Joe is very scary with a gun.

I did read your review and you were right on the money! Poor Jericho, it died much too soon. But if Les Moonves were smart he'd order the wrap-up movie you mentioned at the very least. Stupid, stupid CBS.

Joe is very scary on his own but when you give him a gun he's liable to give you a heart attack from the fright alone. J-Love's awfully lucky to have him.
