TONIGHTS RAMBLINGS
SO?interesting episode. I am not too sure my feeling on this one. I didn?t feel like it was the horrible end-end-of-the-line ridiculous show I thought it would be. The puppet thing was a little weird?but okay I guess. The one thing I don?t like this season is that we don?t get enough group meetings/interaction. It?s always off to one or two people. The secondary story (Angel/Wolfgirl and Wesley/Fred) was really the redeeming feature of the episode. Silly girl, doesn?t she know Angel?s taken? Haha. I thought it was cute though, even though it goes against all rational thinking. (b/a?come?on now?) Anyways, I felt that the Wes/Fred thing was a little ?shoved in? and just there because MAJOR SPOILER*******



Spoiler space



MAJOR SPOILER FOR NEXT WEEKS ANGEL!!!


Spoiler space?.you?ve been warned?.

********Fred is going to die in two weeks and they wanted it to be all dramatic with a love story. I don?t know why they have to kill her! She is the only female (save Harmony) with a somewhat large supporting role. With Cordelia gone, we have less and less of the core ?Fang Gang? left. Kind of depressing. But Joss Whedon wrote the episode!! And directed!!! I can?t wait. (and it?s a two parter?) It looks really awesome.


OKAY, no more spoiler.




Did I ever tell you all how much I love Joss Whedon??!!?!? He is such a genius. (In case you have been in a cryogenic freeze for 10 years, Joss Whedon is the INCREDIABLE mastermind behind the shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel?as well as Firefly and some comics?) Anyways, I really love it when he writes the episodes! They are so much better. Can?t wait til next week.

Smallville. Let?s see. Alyson? Allissa? I can?t remember. Why are all the ?meteorite? affected people always incredibly evil? Wait, there was that one guy?Jordan?..the guy who could see how people died?but he lost his powers at the end. I dunno. I liked the episode. It just is a bit too predictable after awhile. First, something happens around town. Then, Clark figures it out in no time. Then, he goes and sees Lex. Then Clark goes to stop it. Then the person who is evil breaks out a kryptonite stone. Then that person goes to kill Lana or Clark?s parents. Then we find out that Lionel what behind it all along. EPISODE DONE!! So simple. Okay, Lionel is behind all that stuff with Adam. Figures?.

Okay?nothing to really complain about today except that I can?t ever seem to get anything done. I am so lazy. Oh, well. I think I would be more comfortable being lazy if I weren?t so bothered about it. Just a thought?

Hope everyone enjoyed the wonderful programming on this evening. (As you will notice?I didn?t add anything about a certain show with a certain network canceling this certain second rated show on this certain network. I was in denial for a while, and it quickly went to anger?now its back to denial. Either that or I am repressing. But then I wouldn?t be writing about it?)

My essay for english....
I wrote this essay. It is really bad, but it is funny because it is about my messed up family.

kt



Around the Table
It has been done for centuries around the world. Dinner is prepared, and families sit around a table to eat. My family has always done this, and after many meals, I have been accustomed to the routine. I realize now that it is not about eating?it is about being with your family and knowing how to deal with them.


As it is, I am the first at the table. I sit at my seat in the far right hand chair, and sip at my milk and put bits of food on my plate to eat. One of my siblings will be next. My brother, who sits to the left of me, will tell me to stop picking at the food. ?Geeeez, Kate.? He?ll say joking, ?Can?t you wait?? My brother is my favorite member of the family (besides myself). It may be is because he is usually gone at college, and I don?t get to see him much anymore. I told my dad once that I was sad he was leaving because he is the only one who understands me. My dad didn?t think that was true. He thought that my brother is the only one who understands my jokes. I guess this is why I like having him around.

My sister also shows up around this time. My mom likes to say that we are polar opposites. It generally boils down to her being extroverted, and me being introverted. I guess that is why I don?t get her. Anyway, the three of us will start some meaningless conversation, usually some two on one that leaves someone mad. Mom will be slicing bread or pulling something out of the oven, and she?ll be trying to get dad to the table.

Dad will be in the family room, watching the evening news and sipping a martini or gin and tonic. ?Joe!? she?ll tell him about three times, and eventually settle into the chair to the left of my sister, ?We?re ready.? He, of course, comes on his time. When he does wander into the kitchen, he?ll put his drink in the freezer so the ice doesn?t melt, and start telling some story that he saw on the news, read in the paper, or came across on the Internet. He?ll walk over to the light switch, flip off the kitchen light, and sit down in his chair at the head of the table.


After he sits down, someone will clap her hands together to get everyone ready for the prayer. We all start with a sloppy sign of the cross and proceed with our memorized (wrongly, I might add) prayer: ?Bless us oh lord, for these digest?? My sister and I once timed our prayer, and we calculated that we would spend twelve hours all together saying it every night for eighteen years. I wonder how meaningful it is. To make this point, sometimes I change the pace of the prayer, saying it really fast or really slow. It makes everyone annoyed.


As soon as we are finished our prayer we begin reaching for the bowls of food. Then my sister will start her stories. These are they type of stories with no point?they go on, and on, and painfully on. I never thought it was important to tell my parents everything that went on every second of my day, but obviously my sister feels differently. To combat this, I always inform her that she stories make me sick.

After her stories cease and she tells me how annoying that I am, the meals always shifts to what I like to call ?Katie bashing.? This begins by my dad making some nitpicking comment to me. The old favorites are about lack of exercise, poor posture, or too much TV. I once told my brother that the only reason that I am targeted is that I am the only person in the family who can take it. I even bring it on myself. When I want, I make a big deal about it, saying that my family can?t ever be nice to me. It always works in getting some laughs, but my mom always ends up mad. She can?t understand that we don?t do it to be mean; that it is fun. I guess that this is my family?s way of bonding.

Snail Mail these places:.....NOW!!!!!
I Found this someplace and am passing it on. Please do it!!! The only post cards I could find were Girl Scout--but I made 'em work. I am going to go scrap every cent I can find around here and go buy stamps!!! Yeah!!!!! So, you can, TOO!!! It is a lot of fun, and it makes you feel good that you are making a difference in the community. heehehe

THANK YOU!!!!

~~~Quick Postcard Campaign to Save Angel~~~


Unfortunately, emailing networks or posting in online petitions is a waste of time. As soon as they start getting emails, they set up spam filters to delete the mail and they don't ever see what comes in. Waiting around for somebody to organize something is wasting precious time--organized campaigns are going to be great but here's something you can do NOW.

If you want to actually do something that actually might--MIGHT--help to get another season for Angel...
DO THIS TOMORROW

1. Go and buy some postcards that show scenes from your city. Tourist postcards. Postcards that have the name of your town or city or area of the country on them. You don't need anything fancy, just something that will show immediately where you are located so they know this is coming from all over.

2. Write a short message on the postcard in your own words saying that you want Angel to be renewed and support the show. Keep it positive. Don't be insulting. Don't be abusive.

3. Address the postcard to one of the people on the list of addresses in this message. Levin may ignore the cards coming into the WB, but the media outlets will see there's a story in this and publicize it. The names on the list are in order of importance so start at the top and send as many postcards as you want to (or can afford to send).

4. Go and get at least six friends who probably aren't reading this on the internet but would be willing to send postcards, and get them to do the same thing.

5. DO IT TOMORROW! Speed of response is what counts along with the size of the response. Don't wait for instructions from some group. Just DO IT.

Here are the addresses to mail your cards to:

Matt Roush

I've calmed down....a little

I guess I have calmed down a bit. I was really angry yesterday and I still am. But I have decided to think a little more rationally. After sending some flaming hate mail to the WB, I wrote some . . . let?s just say ?G? rated stuff there way.


Joss Whedon (creator, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel) released a statement. He said something about not knowing about it and him feeling like Buffy in the first scene of ?The Body? I think this is fitting. For those of you who have not seen this, this is the episode when Buffy finds her mother dead on the living room couch from seizure.


Here is where to send your letters: Email: faces@thewb.com
Snail Mail:
Mr. Jordan Levin
The WB Television Network
4000 Warner Blvd.
Building 34R
Burbank, CA 91522


There are also the two petitions to sign at Save ANGEL the television series (if the link doesn't work it's www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?ai5d0162Petition and Another Angel Season 6 petition (again, that's www.petitiononline.com/angels6/)

I wrote and told them that they broke my heart. I am taking suggestions for more dramatic ideas. Thank you, and Join the fight to SAVE ANGEL!!!

THE WORLD FUCKING HATES ME!!!!!!!!
It was released today that the evil network known as the WB will be cancelling the show closest to perfection since Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Angel, my FAVORITE show.
THIS IS SO FUCKING UNFAIR. ALL MY FAVORITE SHOW ARE CANCELLED. What is their fucking problem? Angel is the only show besides Smallville with any deciency on that network. You know, this reminds me of when Buffy went over to UPN. the WB dropped them after five seasons. OKay, so the WB PUNISHES shows that are successful. How fucking messed up is that.
You know what? The fucking world is out to get me. I swear it is true. I can't believe this shit. Angel was just on the cover of TV GUide. It just has its 100th episode. THey fucking revamped the whole show so that it would be more appealing to the people who are not completely entralled and have followed Buffyverse for 8 years. THIS IS SO MESSED UP.

SMG better come back for the final episode. They better make it happily ever after. I AM SO MAD!!!!!!!

The WB is the worst network ever. It said that they wanted Angel to go out like "Fraiser or Friends" So they gave them early warning that it would be cancelled. WHAT IS THAT?????? Fraiser and Friends lasted like 10 years each. The show and producers decided its fate. Not some messed up board on the fucking messed up network that is the WB.

I have a theory. One day God decided to make the worst network in history. He created the WB to torture people.

Angel is the best show on TV right now. THE FUCKING GENIOUSES AT THE WB BETTER FIGURE THAT OUT AND NOT CANCEL IT.

Everyone must post to this petition:
http://www.petitiononline.com/angels6/

I hate the world.

Stop the Hate Mail
GOD! You're gone for a few days, and everyone keeps sending you hate mail to add.

All I have to say about Angel last night was: Did you see the promos for next week. A destinct new low. Puppets??? what is that? It was so hoaky when the puppet Angel was attacking Spike. WTF!! And the WWII episode wasn't that great. We learned nothing about the characters or anything, and Angel was so....out of character for the 1940s. At that time he should be in the allies of NY eating rats. He should not have been all authoritative and have a nice, clean shaven look. But I am glad they had Spike believe that he was Angelus--to ensure that Spike was good for "School Bad". I always wondered that though--how would SPike not know??? I dunno.........

Smallville. Was alright. I don't have much to say, but I thought Clark should have been nicer to Pete. He was too demeaning to him. And is anyone else tired of Lana's overly angsty delievery of lines??

Today is thursday, but it feels like a friday cause i don't have school tomorrow. HAAHAAHAAA to all those who do.

So much to say, so little I feel like saying...
I wrote this big thing about how I hate my mom and my sister, and I accidently erased it. It was good, though.

I've written a paper!!!! One of the five I have to. This one is not due til March. The others are due this week. Yeah, you are marvaling at my stupidity.

After a lot of thought, from reading Alice Sebold's works, and being surrounded by insane freaks my entire life (my family) I have come up with two truths:

1. My sister is the root of all evil.

2. It all comes down to the penis and the vagina.

I always thought it would be funny if someone made a movie spoof with a tree trunk and a root that is the "root" of all evil. It would be great. Off topic. heehee

thats alllllllll folks!!!! (I know, disapointing...)

Paradox..and a whole lot of nothingness
Is it wrong that I find 'funny' movies, or comedys in the lest bit funny but find dramas or serious movies funny.

I saw "Miracle" today. Went to it with my dad and my sister, on a friday night.... My Uncle was on the team, so we had to go. It was actually really good. I found the Soviet coach really funny...he had bushy eye brows, and I kept commenting on them, and then when the russians were losing, he kept pulling at them. So funny.

This guy also reminded me of one of those master vampires. He had no emotion, (until his team started losing...) and LOOKED like a vampire. You have to see it.

It was an all around good movies. OH! My dad's claim to fame. If you hear the name 'Bah' you have to know that my dad named his brother that. Watch at the end it says John "Bah" Harrington. Me and Kristie were in stiches. He was one of those referred to as the cone heads.

Anyways, I didn't see many good movie trailers. I guess it's because it is a Disney movie. Except there was this movie where these women dress up as cross dressers...and David Duchovney is in it. It's a comedy, so I'll probably not find it funny. I have to go see Hildago or The Exercist for some laughts. (Really....I am jokin here)

I got a certificate for being the second place team on the stock market game at school. So cool.

No TV news to report right now. Oh! I did watch CSI! I should talk about that. I thought it was really good. EWWWW Urine bag! I loved how they switched it around on us so we didn't know what was happening. DE money ties. Cool touch. Grissom, you're so funny.

I loved the vampire stuff. although a little too black goth for me. Vampires are more EVIL than 'lets set up a cool little shrine'. But I loved the teeth....I should get a few installed.

OH! Speaking of teeth! My Wisdom teeth, they are coming in. I don't want to tell my mom...but it's actually too late 'cause she saw me looking at the back of my mouth in a mirror. My brother had the surgery to remove them and I freaked out...too much blood. Too much 'cracking out' and 'chipping away' for my confort level.

I also wanted to talk about ER cause it was also good. I loved the whole "gay and lesbian" memorial center. Shits and giggles. Also, I love Carter's new girl...I forget her name. She kept asking questions all around the hospital. She's the one from Africa who is having his kid. Is that his real life wife? I dunno...I saw him on The View and I got that impression.

Oh God, I watch too much daytime tV. But luckly, I am starting a job on Monday. Granted its only an hour every day at 230 babysitting, but it is a $100 a month.

Talking too much. GO SEE MIRACLE. It was so lifelike and intense, I thought they may loose. Not really, but seriously, go and see it.

Angel
I just watched Angel and I am so wound up I need to talk about it. I thought it was good. I don't really enjoy Angel/Cordy, and a few parts I felt like I (excuse my cleche) was going to loose my lunch. YUCK! Cordelia is like Angel's best friend. Makes me sick.

ANyways, I liked how she remembered Connor....ahhh bad memories. It was cute. In the beginning she was kind of more first seasonish. I LOVED all the first season references (Doyle, pushing Lindsay's client out the window, broody Angel....hee hee) It was really good.

Cordy's reaction to the Spike and Angel stuff was priceless! So funny! And then Spike bit her! That was great. "wait, spikes a hero and you run an evil law firm" Oh, and Harmony was funny. Beating up on Eve, I knew she was going to go crazy when she saw Cordelia. SO funny. The whole episode was good.

And it brought back that powers that be stuff and got rid of Cordy at the end. Nice touch. I was all for axing Cordy. To much Angel kissage. It was freaking me out. Boy! Spike and Angel's faces really took a long time to heal after their little fight over mountain dew, and Spikes arms were perfectly fine. I guess it is W&H mojo that made him heal faster than normal. I also know that the producers wanted a memory of that little squirmish to remain for the next episode. I just thought it was weird.

It was so funny when Spike was playing video games, and then he got up and shook the TV...kind of showing KT like tendences...bet the controller, beat the tv, beat the sister..... Also the part where Spike hear Cordy say Angel said that he was a hero. And then being disappointed about the champion thing when he found out Lindsay was evil. Fun stuff.

And I wanted to say that the set Angel and Lindsey were fighting on was so wobbly! I thought it was going to fall apart at any second! It was a little hoaky.


Smallville was good, too. I feel bad, they are on right after each other, and Smallville takes a peverial back burner to Angel. In my head anyways, (you don't want to go in there...) Anyways, it reminded me of an X-Files episode when the guy could only see how people died. It was called "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" (i didn't look that up....how scary) anyways, he dies at the end after predicting he would die, in bed with Scully holding his hand. And it happens.

I like how Jordan got rid of the power at the end, and really trusted Clark. The graphics of Superman's cape were hoaky though. And I am really getting sick of Adam. What is up with him? I read someone say that Lana and Lex should get together...that would be funny.

I don't think that a person like Mr. Albin (the gym guy with the dead daughter...whatever his name was) was at all life like. A person doesn't kill two teenage girls for what happened to his daughter what??...five years before. I just don't buy it.

And then Clark's dad having a heart attack. Build the suspense! (I actually knew about it...damn you spoilers!!)

WOw, TV really gets me going. HAhahaaha! Post what you thought about the eppys!

An overly obsessed TV fan...if you haven't gathered youself.
