1. The last few weeks have been like Christmas when it comes to my shows. Every week I think I'm getting the season finale, and then there's a preview for another episode. And each episode of each show (Vampire Diaries and Castle, to be specific) has been meaty and exciting, which is why I keep thinking it's the last one of the season. It's nice to get decent episodes, and not crummy fillers. Bonus!
2. For those of you who watch Vampire Diaries, are you feeling a little down today? Last night's episode wasn't a bad one, by any means, but after watching it with my friends, we all sat there in silence, wiping our eyes and feeling down. Usually, after watching, we get giggly and chatty and spend the next hour or so talking and joking. Last night, none of us were in the mood to giggle AT ALL. This is very unusual. It was a relief more than a pleasant surprise that there is another episode next week. I know there are some who haven't watched it yet, so I won't tell you what got us so down, but I will say, CW, you had better resolve that issue you left us with at the end of last night's episode in a happy way. Or I will walk away from the show. Yes, I care that much.
3. I'm currently addicted to HGTV. Maybe it's because the shows I record at night are a little dark, but I find myself getting sucked in by people looking for their first house (I yell at the TV "You can't change the layout but a can of paint is cheap! Buy the house!"), remodeling their dated living rooms, and getting Yard and House Crashed. It's my dream right now to go to the Home Depot to buy light bulbs and have an HGTV contractor come up to me and say, "May I please redo your dysfunctional eating area/living room for free?" House Hunters International is another show I really enjoy, partly because they go to places like Italy and look at amazing old farmhouses that have been converted into beautiful living spaces. Partly I think it's funny that some people are so rich that they feel the need to buy a 5 bedroom vacation home for half a million dollars that they'll use for 3 weeks out of the year. It's called hotels, people. Cheaper, low maintenance, amenities, housekeeping. Maybe if I become ridiculously rich I'll suddenly have an urge to buy an expensive second home in St. Croix. But for now, my dream is just to go to lots of different places all over the world, and not get tied to one vacation spot every year.
4. One last thing. There's something about interesting and unique shows that gets them cancelled. My friend clued me into a show that was available on streaming. It's called "The Gates." It's about an exclusive neighborhood that turns out to be a refuge for vampires, werewolves, witches, and other supernatural beings. I know it sounds too familiar, but it's quite fascinating. Think Desperate Housewives with a supernatural twist. And it was cancelled after season one. With the event of the DVR, people like me skip over ads for new shows, which makes it difficult to hear about shows until they have already been cancelled for lack of viewers. It would have been nice to see where they were going with the show.
