girlofpreyI'm off work for the second time this week because of my period. Damn you period. Except for the part where I'm - off work. Naturally I feel perfectly fine now, but the paracetomol wasn't working very well on Monday, and Day Three can sometimes be worse than Day One, and I don't really want to faint. Again. So. I'm home. Tee hee
I haven't been posting or commenting. I have been watching Season 1 of Veronica Mars. Neither today nor yesterday did I know what day it was, and (as per usual) I can't quite remember what my favourite character looks like. VERONICA MARS ATE MY BRAIN. Fact.
But I've just realised there should totally be a crossover called Life On Veronica Mars, with Veronica and Logan going back in time, and to England, and my bra is totally on inside out. Dudes. ATE MY BRAIN.
But anyway. I finished Series 1. And it is yay. Except for the part where I still can't go and read all the fic and discussions in comms because they're spoiled for Season 2. Since I pretty much ignored my family, my kittens, any sort of social interaction and a healthy, happy attitude to work in order to finish it so quickly (to be fair, so I could stop HATING ON family/social interaction/work that was keeping me away from watching more) - I kind of told myself I'd take a break before getting into Season 2. Though not longer than till this weekend, I'm guessing. But...I sort of want a fix. And possibly need help. Oh dear.
Anyway. Obsession aside, my thoughts on S1/the show: I LOVE IT. IT IS GREAT. But probably you'd gathered that already. It is so well-written, and beautifully shot, and fantastically plotted and paced, and all the characters are so well-formed and interestingand pretty that I don't mind watching any of them, and the main ones are my favourite of all, and all of this is rare for me. I love Veronica. She is pretty and drives a KICK-ASS car, and tasers people, and has attitude, and has Problems, and the show isn't afraid to show it. There's a still a bit of the 'perky blonde girl' which no, shouldn't be given up on by tv/popular culture, but is still a bit annoying nonetheless. Also some geek-teasing, still (not from her, but from the show, and it's a bit disappointing). But mostly she is intelligent, and brave, and Veronica. And it is good. She has trust issues, and the lies are gonna get her some day, but it only makes me love her more. Also: KICK-ASS car, and pitbull. 'Nough said.
Mostly I LOVE LOGAN. He always wears jackets and that necklace, and he made 'jazz hands' while bitching about people at his mother's funeral, and his dad beats him, and he wanted Veronica to trust him and oh. He is love. I wasn't sure about Veronica/Logan at first either, because she seemed to be sort of - passive? And 'what are we doing?'/'I hate him!' while still kissing him loads. It sort of seemed like it was all 'boy kissing me, yay!', and I didn't quite get her motivation, even with the crying-in-her-arms-over-his-mother thing. But then there was snark, and hand-holding, and conversations on couches with their arms stretched out the same, and 'I like what I see in him when he's with you', and it was all good. But then SO BAD. Veronica! How can you go back to Duncan in S2? Hmph.
I like Weevil. I like how he is supposed to be the bad guy, but all we ever see is him turning up to save people. I assume he saved Logan on the bridge, or talked him down. Though S2 could prove me wrong. I like how he protects (and possibly loves) Veronica, and how he and Logan cannot decide if they're secret lovers or not. Possibly they are OT3-ish. I haven't decided. Mostly I am stuck on Logan/Veronica, with a side of exasperated affection from Weevil. But they may have motel!sex. Who knows.
But mostly I am shocked and saddened, during my brief, not-too-in-depth search for fic, at what seems to be a COMPLETE LACK of Logan/Aaron out there! Because, dude - yes he beats him. I got slightly stuck on that for a while - any scene involving the two of them would be accompanied by 'Or you'll beat me with a belt?', 'Don't make me beat you with a belt!'. And occasionally Logan just got an 'I get beaten with belts!'. But there is also the random possessiveness by Aaron, and his odd belief that he knows everything there is to know about Logan, and his NAKED WANT for him after Lynn dies. He was SO IN LOVE WITH HIM at the funeral, when Logan was telling off the slimy agent. Also there's that whole having a camera in the beach house, where Logan probably does take a few of his conquests. And the fact he keeps sleeping with/attacking Logan's girlfriends. I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE WHO SEES THIS. Can I?
Poor Lily. Mostly she annoyed me a bit with her googly eyes and being a bit full of herself. But the 'I was totally awesome' bit broke me. And the dream in the pool at the end. Oh. Goodbye, little girl.
So now I just need to watch Season 2. And know if my dreams of further Logan/Veronica are true. I'm trying to be calm and rational with myself, because I don't really want to be one of those people who imagines CANON MARRIAGE AND CRIME-FIGHTING for their favourite couple, and gets angry when the show does not FULFILL THEIR EVERY WHIM. But if there isn't more I will cry. I sort of like Duncan (he gets points for running away to Havana, Cuba), but mostly he is blah, and perhaps that's just the meds (not that I know anything about meds), but blah. VERONICA AND LOGAN ARE SO FOR THE WIN. And I hope that's where the show is going. And that TV is sometimes lovely and fair, like Green Wing (note: so far). But I shall find out for myself sooner or later, I guess.
So. I am mad with fandom. But resting for a while. I have been spending time with the kittens, and, y'know, feeding them and stuff, and they are both lovely. One is lovelier than the other - Kell purrs and comes to see you and meows (a little intensely) at you - but they're both pretty swish. Pictures later, probably. Mainly tonight I am looking forward to A Town Called Eureka on Sky - another rarity for me and television. But it looks slightly ace. It's about a hidden town full of eccentric geniuses in North America. Small, insular community? Check. Strange goings on? Check. Quirky, geeky, intelligent characters? Check. Some sort of law enforcement official I don't have to care about? Check. I am SO THERE, people.

::DANCES YOU::

Date: 2006-08-02 03:28 pm (UTC)Don't let your hair die! Go do the things. But I DANCE YOU MORE for giving me the DVDs in the first place. OMG MY LOVE.

Paracetamol's a bit rubbish really. I think Ibuprofen's considerably better, apart from that whole giving people ulcers business. Why must things be so difficult? I hope you don't faint.
I know not Veronica Mars. Boo.

Date: 2006-08-02 03:34 pm (UTC)I also hope I don't faint. That would be awful. And rather embarassing. Paracetamol works most of the time - I forgot to take it the day I fainted - but I am intrigued by Ibuprofen. Apart from the ulcers bit. Hmm. Maybe it is time to experiment with my pain medication. And for you to EXPERIMENT WITH VERONICA MARS. You're totally into american teen dramas and detective shows, aren't you? I read between the lines in your journal, and know it's true.
