I won't back down

Friend-zone does not exist in the German vocabulary.

Stop doing this

You're nauseated.
Possibly also nauseous,
but probably only nauseated.

Get it right.

Happy S.A.D.

Valentine's Day to some, Single's Awareness Day to the rest of us. Raise a glass to all the lonely hearts around the world today.

Maybe two glasses.

A lovely Friday

So far, nothing has gone wrong today.

I have been productive,
I have gotten my last twinrix shot,
and I have learned a few new things.

However,

You should do something, Tim.


I love my parents. Thanks for sending me yet more chocolate.

A List

Because I felt like making a list, here's a list of TV related things. It will be completely biased and subjective, of course. Durr.

Favourite Character of Any Show In All of Existence (that I watch currently)
Kalinda from The Good Wife.

She's a kickass badass who's not afraid of anything. Or at least does't show it. She has a dark, mysterious past that's about to be unraveled, and she's such a charismatic charmer that if you didn't know better, you would think she's a Jedi doing the Jedi Mind Trick.

Shows I Love That I Haven't Watched A Single Episode of the New Season Yet
House
Burn Notice
South Park

There's absolutely no reason why I've stopped watching these shows. It's not like they're bad, actually, they're quite good, but I just haven't gotten to them yet. Especially South Park, it's the only show that I know of that still does satire amazingly well. Hmm.

Awesome Shows That I Used To Watch Religiously That Have Completely Fell Flat On Its Face
The Big Bang Theory
Supernatural
How I Met Your Mother

Well, I'm being a bit harsh on BBT as it's still very entertaining and even quite funny at times, but I feel like it has lost its way and charm somehow. Hmm, I don't know.

Supernatural, on the other hand, have completely disappointed me since last season, but more so this season. It's not like that it even turned into a hot train wreck of mess that's entertaining to watch, it's more like watching an old man not knowing where to go. Meaning that it's sad and boring to watch. With the exception of 3 back-to-back episodes mid season that was absolutely a-mah-zing, the rest of the season just felt bland, boring, and tired. I am truly disappointed.

HIMYM. *shrug* While it still has its charms occasionally, I feel like they try too hard sometimes. HIMYM was never known for big laughs. This always felt like a "hot coco in front of the fireplace on a cold day" kind of show, which is fine, which is what I loved about it. But recently, I haven't been feeling that, and I haven't been laughing. Uh oh.

Show With a Creative Comeback
30 Rock

This has always been my favourite comedy since Arrested Development went off the air (grrr Fox) and has always sustained its quality throughout most of its run. But last year, I feared for it because it honestly wasn't that funny. But this season, watching some of the episodes made me actually LOL so hard. Tina Fey and Co. completely restored my faith in this show. It's sad that Tina Fey doesn't get enough credit for her acting. People still see her as a writer that acts, but she's way more than that. Her, along with the show, is clever, smart, and fucking hilarious. Regardless, I'm glad she has that acting Emmy from a couple of years ago. Go Tina!

Show That's Not Exactly Terribly Good or Terrifically Bad But I Watch Religiously Every Week Anyway (aka Guilty Pleasure)
Desperate Housewives

I would argue that this show wasn't a *just* a guilty pleasure a couple of years back, but now, I'm not so sure. The mystery this year is engaging enough, unlike past travesties. I don't know. I still love it, and I still watch it. Really nothing much to add. :P

Show That's Getting Deafening Buzz From Its Fanbase That Turns Me Off But Makes Me Watch To Watch Anyway
Community

Yep. This show. I watched the first three episodes and kind of gave up. But this has turned into quite a massive cult hit. I don't know, I might give it a chance again. >_>

Show That Everybody Seemed To Loved That Completely Pissed Me Off
The Walking Dead

This was probably the most overrated show in awhile. The storylines were dumb. The characters were unlikable and frustrating. I mean, take the protagonist for an example. He wakes up alone, city full of zombies, and the first thing he does was want to find his family. Okay, fair enough. After his "long" journey (2-3 episodes) he finally finds his family! Yay! And what is the first thing he does? Goes back out to city to try to save a fucking useless racist sorry excuse of a human being that they had to handcuff to a pipe but had to leave him behind because of a zombie attack. I mean, he didn't spend 20 seconds with his family and he rather goes out and save some random, fucking, useless stranger that's not worth saving than to spend time with his family or to secure their safety. I hate these characters with a "hero complex", fuck off. No one ever uses logic or brains, all they/he mostly cares about is "must...save...". In some ways, that kinda makes him like a zombie. Hey, maybe he should kill himself!

Him aside, the whole supporting cast was either grating, bland, or clichéd. No one stands out as a character, at all.

The plotting was plodding. The characters made me want to see the zombies eat their face off. And everything felt like it was either grey or dark grey, visually. I only watched the first three episodes and skipped the latter three. I don't care if it gets better, I don't care if it's exciting. To me, this show is irrevocably unredeemable.

P.S. how do you fail at a fucking show about zombies.

And to top it off, my favs (that are currently airing):

Fav Comedies:
30 Rock
Glee
Modern Family
Parks and Recreation
The Office
Desperate Housewives
Cougar Town

Dramas:
Fringe
The Good Wife

Okay, so it turns out that it's not so much a "fav list" as more of "what I watch list". I would put Supernatural on there, but you know, this season's really bad. I still say it's one of my fav shows overall, but I just can't forget about this season. Ditto with HIMYM. Hmm...speaking of Fringe, I need to catch up on that. x_x

And whoa, just realized that I almost don't watch any dramas at all. Whoa. Well, didn't help that Brothers & Sisters completely failed and now I have no interest in going back. Anyhoo, that was my list!

Ciao~
