The Wildcat's Den

Doctor Who, season 3, episode 7 - "42" - I need a "squee/I-can't-handle-this-right-now" post.

( You've Got to Tell Me When You're Going to Pull Crap Like That )

I really should have been doing videos with these posts the whole time.  But this week's was just too easy.  Well, I tried first to find the Back to the Future "My Name is Darth Vader from the Planet Vulcan," but everyone on YouTube had to edit it themselves and inserted every bad song from Lady Gaga to Rick Astley into the scene.  Honestly, why mess with the original Van Halen version?

Even though it is my birthday (and thanks to everyone who extended well-wishes and a BIG THANK YOU to narniadear  for her "Birthday Emergency" post.  And a big thanks to Jack for the birthday flowers ^_^), the "24" Rehash is here at it's usual time.

( If you have a bladder control problem, you're probably aware of it. )

"24" tonight - and the countdown begins!  Sorry I don't have a snarky video to go along with this.

Before I proceed, I have to say something - I know all my rehashes sound like I'm too critical of the show, but you have understand something.  If I like something well enough to dedicate full posts to it in my LJ, you know I like it (unless I come out and say that something is really, really, REALLY stupid - and you can typically tell when that happens).  This is all just fun and games and to show my love and adoration of "24."  What can I say?  I don't have a boyfriend (oh wait, yes I do - his name's Tony Almeida ^_^)

( Just Who is President These Days? )

My mom has this awesome recipe for fruit dip - I've been chowing on strawberries with this cream cheese and whipped cream dip all night and it's amazing.  Just thought you'd all like to know that.

Also - "24" tonight.  The second week in a row that there's only six hours left.  The guys in charge of putting together promos failed second grade counting, I guess.

( Forging Into New Territory. )

I feel a bit like those birds that fly into unnaturally clean windows in those Windex commercials - I've been all over creation and then some in the rain, wind and snow (welcome to spring in Utah - or as I like to call it, schizophrenia).  Can anyone tell me why the wind must blow insanely whenever I need to go somewhere?  This is getting beyond ridiculous.

Nonetheless, "24" must continue and so must the Rehashes.  This time, it's a special 2-hour save-the-world-just-in-the-nick-of-time (mostly).

( I knew the woman was crazy... )

Scout wants attention and she doesn't want me to blog today.  Well, guess what, Puppy -

Okay, I'll go let you out...

All right - the dog is outside now.  So, inbetween watching mourning for my country and watching Pearl Harbor get bombed again (this time, by a guy in the White House), I managed to catch "24" and "The Big Bang Theory."  And I realized that life will go on in spite of all this crap.  And the Rehashes must continue as well.

First - TBBT -

It's official.  I am an unashamed Leonard fangirl.  In spite of Sheldon walking out in that extremely HOT suit - mothers, hide your daughters! - I wanted to give Leonard a big *squish* hug because his stupid mother compared him to his stupid brother and made my Lenny-poo cry (there - I gave Leonard a nickname).

Sheldon and shopping for a suit - "I found it in the prom department." XD

Howard's "pretending to give a damn" power doesn't count.  I do that every day.

I wonder where I can find that YouTube video... on second thought... maybe not

Okay - to "24"!

( Noooo!! Not the Boy Scout!! )

ARGGGH!!! I just had my "24" rehash AND my analysis of "The Big Bang Theory" typed up - then I hit "post" and it all WENT AWAY!! And it didn't post!! I must go cry...

Okay - I'm back - will try to reconstruct... (stupid didn't copy/paste... stupid, stupid, stupid... *headdesk*)

Since I was coming home last night, I missed "24" and "The Big Bang Theory." But - that's what DVR is for!

Short carp session - can someone explain to me why I schedule myself for so much crap this week? It's all stuff I want to do (some are a lot more fun than others *points to Thursday night*). And since my car is still in the shop, I am at the mercy of others for rides into town. Luckily, in the "I am blessed" column, my dad is coming back to the desert tomorrow night and then he has to go back Thursday morning and has agreed to let me hitch a ride. And before you all say "Are you crazy?" let me just mention that this is normal for my family. And yes, we're crazy.

Okay - "The Big Bang Theory" - last week was Stan Lee and Marvel, this week was Lord of the Rings. It's has been a non-stop-geekery-fest for me these past two weeks.  Watch - next week will be Narnia or Harry Potter :)

Things to love:

- Sheldon going Gollum (and here I thought he'd just drop the Ring down the drain)

- Penny punching Sheldon when he tried to molest her in the middle of the night and Leonard going "That's my girl."

- Leonard.  He just wins.

- Raj's lawyer cousin and the jet-ski ultimatum

- Howard flinging insults at Sheldon's Me-Maw and Sheldon's resultant indignation.

- Leonard's total sell of having sent the Ring back to New Zealand and really he had it stash under his bed in a shoebox (Anything Leonard, really.  Have I mentioned he wins at life.  Too bad - he wins at life).

On to "24" - I am more concerned with these spoilers because if I spoil "24" for people, they hate me more.

( Splatter! )

"24" was tonight - and yes, that is a reference to the Olympic ice dancing competition.  It was quite unnerving to see the French team dancing to Johnny Cash (maybe not as strange as watching Russians do a pseudo-aboriginal dance, but odd in it's own right - and since when are the Dixie Chicks considered folk music?).  But it seemed apropos given tonight's episode.  Yes, there are spoilers.

( It's Too Late For You and Your White Horse )

Dang - these Russians have some crazy costumes...

I realize I have not posted about "24" or "Heroes" this week.  My only defense is that I have a class this weekend and I am elbow-deep in textbook reading in preparation for it, not to mention keeping up with my other two classes and a cross-stitch project I want to have finished for a friend for Mother's Day (she's not my mom but, she's as good as and it's unlikely she'll get many gifts from her own children.  Long story, but it boils down to the fact that her ex-husband is a bastard).  But I have a few thoughts on the matter that I can quickly share:

Okay - I have to go now - that was longer than I meant it to be.

Part two of the "24" season premiere - and we get to the good stuff fast.  Spoilers, yes.  Explosions, even more yes.
