  • I'm probably a really horrible human being. #
  • So wait, is today (Aug 24th) the official release date for Mockingjay? Should I feel special about having gotten it a day early? #

  • I think it's interesting that there's a character named Pike in the Buffy movie and a Spike in the TV series. #
  • Mockingjay arrived today! Will probably re-read the first two books in the series before starting this one. #
  • Stop raining on my parade! #

Have I mentioned that I hate the whole dTV thing? Yes, I realize that in theory this was supposed to make our TV service better. In practice, however, that isn’t what happened, at least in my case. I don’t have cable, nor do I have a fancy TV. In fact, my TV is several years old and not a flat screen type thing. So when the dTV change happened, I had to get one of those converter boxes and I now get even fewer channels then I did before.

I suppose this is no biggie, since I seem to have a hard time remembering when a show I want to watch airs (for example, it’s not unheard of for me to realize at 9:00 one night “oh shit, such and such a show was on at 8!”) and I end up waiting for it to come out on DVD anyway.

That’s kinda what happened in the case of Pushing Daises: I watched some episodes while the show was still being aired on TV, but some weeks totally forgot to watch it until after that week’s episode was over. I thus found myself renting the DVD so I could watch what I missed.

Some thoughts:

  1. Kristin Chenoweth is adorable.
  2. If you watch the bonus features for season 2, Bryan Fuller mentions that the coloring (?) was influenced by the French movie Amelie, which I thought was funny because before I watched those bonus features, I found myself thinking “hey, the colors remind me so much of Amelie!”
  3. Oh, and there were some plot things I thought were confusing/didn’t make sense/plot holes/whatever. I’m putting them behind a cut as not to spoil something for someone.
