wear me like a locket around your throat

( heroes 3.04 - i am become death. )

no real chuck recap, except that it continues to be clever and funny and charming, and if you're not watching it, you're very, very silly.

( ugly betty 3x01 - the manhattan project. )

( the office 5x01 - weight loss. )

also, while i'm here, i finally watched this week's gossip girl late last night, and blair is, as usual, my very most favoritest favorite. other than that, this sums up my feelings on the episode almost perfectly, in hilarious graph form. (srsly, GG fans, click that)

oh, and did i remark on the season premiere of HIMYM? i don't think i did! i loved it, duh. well, the barney stuff, anyway, not so much the ted stuff.[/deliberately vague so i don't spoil anyone]

now i'm watching fringe that i have on the tivo, and then i'm watching the pre-air chuck premiere so i have one less bit of television to deal with next clusterfuck monday.

mild tmi maybe, idk: i have had the most awful pms ever for, like, 2 days now. i am alternately annoyed at the world and devastatingly emo. FAIL, HORMONES, FAIL.

eta: i have red velvet cake mix! there are CUPCAKES in my future, you guys. cupcakes will improve my day by a substantial margin. \o/

I LOVE CHUCK SO MUCHHHHHHHHH. i can't even talk about it right now.

( just one thing about heroes. no, two things. ok, three. )

god, i cannot code for shit right now. aiksdhewkf

my tentative tv schedule, mostly for my own reference but feel free to tell me if i'm missing anything especially rad.

( less books, more tv. )

well, that's exciting. OH TV HOW I'VE MISSED YOU AND YOUR STUPID-ASS FACE!

dude, where are the leaked pilots? i feel like i had pilots this time last year. WANT PILOTS.

anyway, i was just poking around in fallpreview and it reminded me of the sneak preview thingies i saved on youtube, so i thought i would post them here in case anyone wants to be prematurely excited about tv that may or may not end up sucking ass with me.

anyway, four shows about which i am particularly enthused:

dirty sexy money (ABC): Power, privilege and family money are a volatile cocktail thrust on an idealistic lawyer when he inherits the job of tending to the legal (and sometimes illegal) needs of the absurdly wealthy Darlings of New York City. Peter Krause, Donald Sutherland, Jill Clayburgh and William Baldwin star in this younger, sexier, redheaded stepchild of Dallas and Dynasty.

(soapy goodness y/y? and i kind of heart samaire armstrong.)

chuck (NBC): Zachary Levi (Less Than Perfect) plays Chuck, a nerdy computer tech who has a database of government secrets downloaded into his brain. Chuck soon finds himself recruited by John Casey (Adam Baldwin), a veteran NSA Agent, for espionage work with his new partner (and first date in ten years) Sarah (Yvonne Strzechowski) -- leading Chuck to live a split life of computer geek and secret NSA missions.

(chuck is kiiiiind of adorable. also OMG JAYNE! ♥)

pushing daisies (ABC): Pushing Daisies is a love story about a pie-baking young man with a very special gift... the ability to return dead people briefly back to life with just a simple touch -- enabling him to help a P.I. crack murder cases by asking victims to name their killers. Director Barry Sonnenfeld, writer-producer Bryan Fuller, and the producers of Fish blend romance, crime procedural and high-concept fantasy to create a fairytale in the spirit of Amelie, Stranger than Fiction, and Chocolat.

(i ♥ high-concept tv.)

gossip girl (CW): Based on the popular book series of the same name, this drama gives viewers a peek into the world of privileged teenagers on an elite private school in New York City. The story is written by The O.C.'s Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, and directed by Mark Piznarski who has worked on series like Everwood and Veronica Mars. (fyi: kristen bell is the voice of gossip girl.)

(i'm thinking this might make me miss the oc a little less. maybe. hopefully.)
