Snowed in, watching TV.

[aisalynn]

So, I was supposed to go back to my parents house for the weekend so I could watch my brother and sister in the singing competition tomorrow. But, it's snowing really bad here, and my breaks are acting funny so I'm stuck in my apartment for the weekend. Which sucks because I've only missed on Solo/Ensemble Competition since I used to do them every year, and that was because I had a really bad case of flu. Also, I'm running out of food in my apartment and I wasn't planning to go shopping until Monday, and of course, right now it's too bad out there to drive to the store. So I'm stuck with frozen burritos and eggs.

Not together. That would be gross.

To keep myself entertained this weekend I have started watching Dark Angel. (Yes, just so I could watch Jensen in season 2.) I don't know if anyone on my flist has watched it, but so far it's alright. I mean, the dialogue seems a little fake sometimes--a little too smooth, too much slang--and I'm not really digging the soundtrack, but Logan's cute. I like the whole scruffy guy with glasses things, and this thing between Max and him remind me of the days back in junior high when I read the Fearless series: Kick ass, genetic freak girl with no fear paired up with common sense speaking wheelchair guy.

Oh, Gaia and Ed, you always were my favorite in that very long, over dramatic young adult series. I never did finish those books... For all I know the author is still pumping out more.

In any case, I don't think this show is going to become my new Epic Fandom Love or anything like that, but it's passing the time.

Ohh-- stay safe with the snow! Lots of warm blankets and Dark Angel doesn't sound like such a bad way to spend the weekend.

I've never watched Dark Angel (and if I ever did, I'd be the same as you-- just to see Jensen in S2), thanks for your thoughts on it! Might have to hire it out/buy it sometime. :D

Yeah, it's not so bad. Especially with my electric blanket. Keeps me nice and toasty. :)

DA :D

Alba gets a little bit better in season two, which is when the show really takes off for me anyway. The show takes a shift in tone and as you know, changes up the cast a little bit. I have a lot of affection for this show, though it's never been a big fandom thing for me either.

Heh. Whenever I see DA I always think of Dumbledore's Army. You can definitely tell where my fandom roots are.

I'm liking the show so far. Genetically advanced super humans has always been a favorite scifi cliche of mine, so it's keeping me interested. :)
