When spell checkers are *not* your friend

[donutsweeper]

Dear Mr. Spellchecker,

Gibbs talking about being threatened by an ex-wife with cast iron is a smidge different than being threatened with castration.  The latter probably would have made him a bit more upset.  Quit trying to change it in my story.

All the shows I seem to like end up doing that, I swear.

they doom themselves? *sigh* sucks, doesn't it?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Yep. I equate it to my bowling skills. I'm really good until I start over-analyzing what I'm doing, and then I just completely fail. I feel far too many TV writers and producers do the same thing when it comes to shows.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

or maybe they don't think at all?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Probably more accurate.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

we'll see come Sept and Oct

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

So far away.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*sigh* true that. At least there is fanfic to keep us occupied until then!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

This is true!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

and repeats

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

And new seasons on SciFi!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oooh, that's right! And the end of this season of Doctor Who. I'm not the hugest of Who fans, but there are rumors Jack will be back, which is all kinds of exciting

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I've heard those rumors, too. I imagine it's going to be a pretty awesome ending, considering they're taking a break after this.

next year sucks for DW and TW though. 4 DW "holiday" specials (each give or take two hours) and TW is doing some weird "evening arc" where they'll airing a 5 episode arc over a whole week and that'd it for the season

*mopes*

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Dude. 5 episodes? Those bastards.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

and all in one week- Can you say EXTREME OVERLOAD?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It's like trying to eat a whole Devil's Food cake by yourself in one sitting. It's good to a point, but then you just can't take anymore.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

exactly! I probably would have used a donut metaphor, but yeah. *sigh* there is something to be said for anticipation

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Ok, now I want a donut.

I think the anticipation is half the fun.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I always want a donut. And yeah, anticipation makes finally getting whatever it was you're waiting for seem like it's that much better

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I've settled on a cookie, instead.

It's what makes standing outside a movie theater at midnight so much fun.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

cookies are good too.

I've never done that (because I'm too cheap/lazy) but I see the appeal

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I'm slightly insane, so I love sitting outside theaters at midnight, although I do it a lot less now than I used to.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

movies are too damn expensive these days

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

That they are.
