The hell?

Damn you, tv networks! Fringe's Kirk Acevedo gets fired, My Name is Earl gets canceled (Reaper too, but I saw that coming *sigh), but other stuff that is only so-so or total drivel gets renewed. Argh! And on a side note with no judgments as to present quality because I haven't seen this show in years, but when is Smallville going to end? Because there is such a thing as shows just ending versus getting canceled. I got the impression that it was supposed to be prequel to the Lex vs Superman conflict, not the conflict itself. Not that I know a damn thing about it. It's just weird that this show has been around since I was in high school. High school! That was eight years ago! I don't know why, but it makes me feel really old.

On another note, I have yet to see Star Trek. This is sad, but I keep missing the first showing which is much cheaper. However, I did get to watch another movie about a gay restaurant owner who falls for this extremely cute football coach and has to deal with the kids he never knew in the meantime. I absolutely loved it. I'm really tempted to go see it again even though it's in the expensive theatre. It's a Spanish movie, called Chef's Special in English (Fuera de Carta). If it appears around your neck of the woods, you should definitely check it out. Allow me to entice you with a little picture.




In yet other news, ohmygod is it hot here. And it's not really that hot. Just mid 80s, but it feels really unbearable. I'm used to wearing shot sleeves in high 60s now. Man, can I not live here anymore. My body is set to London temperature now. And soon it'll be set to Chicago temperature. Brrr! Although hearing the coquies (cute, little frogs we have here) and hearing the rain fall through the foliage is so refreshing.

He is. I think I might have squeed when I first saw him there, which is kinda silly, but Alvarez is one of my favourite characters in Oz. And the guy he plays here is so casually cool. I have no idea why he got fired. It can't be story reasons. That doesn't make any sense. Fringe is awesome, by the way. I think about it and I start bouncing. Literally. I haven't been this excited about a show since Alias.

*weeps over Earl* And I was so looking forward to season 5.

It might... I'd dearly love to see it before it comes out on DVD, which I greatly suspect I will buy.

Yup. I lived in Chicagoland for three and a half years, though only in the city itself for 9 months, sadly. My dad grew up there, so I've got a bunch of family that I keep missing when I'm in other parts. It is freeezing cold in winter, though. But it is a really awesome city. It gets stellar reviews from everyone I know who's been there, which makes me smile. When are planning on doing the moving? After you graduate?

Alvarez is one of my favs too :) Wow, that's cool that you like it that much! I watched one ep randomly a while back, and it was pretty good, but not enough to keep me hooked. Maybe I'd like it more if I started from the beginning.

Oh neat. My dad grew up in Chicago too! Well, the suburbs. And I've been there a few times myself and loved it. Though yeah, it was freezing the time I went in winter. Yup, sometime after I graduate. Once I've figured out how to get a job. I might try living on my own here in VA first, though. Once step at a time.
