I'm Still Alive! Yay! (Randomness Ensues)

Hello everyone! I'm back. And still stressed, but mildly less so. Haha. My recital went very well, and thanks to all of you who looked at my website and left kind comments on my last post! It was so nice of youuu. :)

so I have a few items to discuss in this post, for which I will use the extremely organized bulletpoint format. Woohoo!

• You should check out the Vegetarian/Vegan Movie Characters page if you haven't in a while - there are a lot of new additions since I keep thinking of/seeing more and more!
• I saw "Please Give" and kind of loved it. Random. But yes. And now we're just two people holding shit in bags!
• Besides that, I'm horribly behind in seeing movies that are coming out that I want to see. Oh the difficulties of being busy! Grrr. Have ya'll seen any good ones lately? Speak up below.
• Ummm...Modern Family was awesome this past week? Funny, and grrrreat character development. Ty Burrell really was fantastic in particular.
• Okay...guilty pleasure alert...14 DAYS TIL KE$HA'S NEW ALBUM. *Ahem* um, yikes, everyone's looking at me weird...uh...i like Beethoven? Yeah. Haha.

I think that's it. I feel like there was more I wanted to say...but...i'm sorry. I'm so incoherent. This doesn't even count as an excuse for a blog post. I promise I'll start actually making an effort soon. Please don't hate me! Eek!

I hate to say it...but...

...I just saw a commercial for next week's season premier of Glee and...

I'M ACTUALLY EXTREMELY EXCITED.

And, Modern Family starts next week too! Hoorah for my television shows!

Emmy Reactions

MODERN FAMILY WONNNN!!!

Ahem. Carry on!

TV Meme Day 27: Best Pilot Episode

I think the perfect pilot episode came in the recent first episode of "Modern Family". We get a great individualized portrait of each individual family (and Sofia Vergara shows us all how amazing she is going to be). It lets you see how great and well-developed every character is going to be, and gives us a bit of an intro to the wonderful mockumentary format that is going to be used. And, it was probably the funniest episode of the entire season.

Finally, we discover that all three of the families are related! Claire and Mitchell are brother and sister, and Jay is their dad? It's awesome. Even though (ironically) the pilot of Modern Family wasn't the first episode of the show I watched, it's probably my favorite of them all so far and it was just the perfect declaration of how wonderful the show would be. Hoorah!

What's your fave pilot? This post is automated, but please comment below! I wanna hear your opinionssss.

TV Meme Days 20-23

Alright, so I missed several days. I sincerely apologize! This 30 day meme thing is fun, but it ain't easy. :P

Day 20: Favorite Kiss

It's weird that I'm choosing this as my favorite kiss, because I absolutely hate their relationship and do NOT want them to get together. But for some reason the kiss at the end of the first half of the first season of Glee between Will and Emma was extremely...hm...memorable? It's the first that came to my mind, anyway, and it was successful in making me want to keep watching the show to find out what the HECK would happen. Anyway, I hate their "ship" but this kiss was the one good thing about it. Haha.

Day 21: Favorite 'Ship
I didn't even know what on earth a ship was, until Andrew did his post about it. And now it makes sense, it's short for "relationship". Duh! Haha! Anyhoo, I know of one particular couple I just can't get enough of - which would be Henry and Casey on "Party Down". They're perfect for each other, yet completely imperfect at the same time - and they make one of the best comedy-couple-duos on TV (besides maybe Cam and Mitchell from Modern Family).

Day 22: Favorite Series Finale

Hm. I haven't seen enough series from beginning to end to have a real favorite series finale. I have several favorite season finales, but none that ended their series. And though I could mention the finale of "Party Down" this season due to the fact that it's not quite guaranteed to come back, I don't want to jinx anything. ;)

Day 23: Most Annoying Character

TV Meme Day 19: Best Television Cast

A few blurbs on great casts, since again, one is not nearly enough. I hope you like my midnight meme posts. This meme never ends, does it!?

Glee - I don't like every member of this cast (namely Matthew Morrison and Cory Monteith, sorry guys) but every week is filled with great work from almost everyone else. Jane Lynch and Jayma Mays are consistently wonderful when they actually get a chance to be on screen, and Lea Michele gets better each week. More thoughts on Glee

Modern Family - There is not a single weak link in this cast. From the youngest to the oldest, each member is hilarious and adds perfectly to the show. It helps that they're given such great material to work with, of course. Standouts are of course Eric Stonestreet, Sofia Vergara, and Rico Rodriguez. More on Modern Family

Party Down - Again, not a weak link. Even when they lost Jane Lynch, Megan Mullaly came to be brilliant and hilarious. Every actor milks their roles and besides being wonderfully funny, they're all so sincere and human too. Mas de Party Down

United States of Tara- Oh, Toni Collette is brilliance as usual, but her supporting cast is not to be outdone. I particularly like Brie Larson, Kier Gilchrist, and Rosemarie Dewitt...oh, and Don Corbett is always great. See, that's the whole cast right there...I love them all so much, in a sick way I wish they were my family. Haha! Read about my love for US Of Tara

Spongebob Squarepants - Seriously, everyone! Really, this show simply has some of the best ensemble voice acting ever. Every voice is so memorable, whether you like the show or not, and they interact with themselves so well and realistically. Oh how I love this show. More on that Sponge that lives under the sea

The Office - Grrrr I love this cast so much, I wish they'd all do more beyond this. Jenna Fischer in particular is just lovely and every character is so perfect. There's no way this could have been cast any better.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - If you haven't seen this show, you should check it out. It's hysterical. Not for everyone, but still amazing. The cast is just so remarkably out of control you wonder how they can take themselves seriously and not break out laughing while they're working. So, so funny and amazing. It's like if a cartoon took crack and became a live action sitcom.

So there you have it. :) Enjoy! Sorry for the lack of non-meme posts, it's kind of draining my brain. Haha.

TV Meme Day 18: Fave Title Sequence

Again, it was too hard to pick just one, so I give you 5 amazing opening title sequences. They're sort of kind of not really in order of most to least loved...but all five are amazing. Behold!

(eek sorry about the quality on this one you guys. Why is it so hard to find decent Spongebob videos on Youtube? Wait, don't answer that question. Hehe!)

And honorable mention...

TV Meme Day 15: Favorite Female Characters

I'm playing catchup! So here's 10 great female characters. Again, no in-show repeats and mucho recent shows since I'm kind of new to the whole "television" thing (whaa? Television? wazzat?! haha.) Anyway, enough babbling...here you go:

(Oh, I hate to single out just one from The Office...Jenna Fischer and Phyllis Smith are both amazing also, but Kelly is just...hilarious, always!)

Again, comment below on your favorite female characters! :)

TV Meme Day 14: Favorite Male Characters

I couldn't pick just ONE! So, I present to you, 10. I'm cheap like that. This was difficult though! Do realize, this was tricky, since I'm not repeating characters from the same show. Also, I've only been avidly watching television recently so most of these characters will be sort of recent. :) The lovely ladies are coming later since I'm running late, again.

(Okay so he's not exactly a character but he's my favorite contributor to Infomania! Which you all should be watching by now... ;P)

Well there you go. Comment below! Agree? Disagree? Go crazy!

TV Meme Days 8 and 9

I'm a little behind as you can see...my apologies! :)

Day 8: A Show Everyone Should Watch

I have to give this honor to the always wonderful "Modern Family". One of my favorite new shows this season, Luke has already written a lovely piece on it that reflects my own feelings perfectly. I'll add though, it's perfect for everyone. No matter what your own family is like, or who you are, you will certainly find a character to relate to in this surprisingly sincere hodgepodge of hilarity. The show is always a joy each week, and I surely hope to see some Emmy love for at LEAST Sofia Vergara and Eric Stonestreet.

Day 9: Best Scene Ever

Flight of the Conchords! Such an amazing show.

This is really just too hard you guys. But the above scene basically made me die of laughter. Perhaps not the BEST scene EVER (that honor probably goes to an aforementioned moment in an aforementioned cartoon) but it's still pretty much amazing. See also, anything with Sofia Vergara in "Modern Family".

"Hurt Locker?"

"More like Squirt Locker!"

Modern Family was great this week. As usual. I want the entire cast to get Emmy nominations. I think it was the season finale! How sad! :(
