Week 7//CSI: Miami Fan Rant

This week was glorious in the fact that I didn't have to wake up @ 5:35 am from Wednesday to Friday thanks to no classes on Wed (Grito de Lares) and the DEME prof not meeting the class on Thursday for review. Still, I had the first two out of five midterm tests (INGL 3251 and CONT 4007). The Literature test went exceedingly well while the Federal Tax one probably ass-raped me...

Now for the bulk of this post:

See that there? That is the current cast of CSI: Miami, right? Good we have that out of the way. Yes, I am a diehard fan but this is not about Lt. Firecrotch ^...

When you hear CSI: Miami, what comes to mind? Lulzy acting, dubious science, bad guys getting pumped full of lead? If so, cookie for you, you got the gist of the show! Granted, it's not Emmy material but the people who watch it enjoy it. If you noticed the list of ideas, you noticed I've left out one word-slash-theme: romance. CSI: Las Vegas and CSI: NY did it nice and easy; there was evidence of the love grown between Gil/Sara and Danny/Lindsay. CSI: M tried their hands at romance twice and here are their results:

*Horatio/Marisol but we didn't see the extent of that relationship until after she died. Her death STILL brings him pain and for two seasons, Horatio might as well changed his named to Dexter With a Gun and a Badge.

*The debacle that is Calleigh/Eric. At the first couple of seasons, I could see this but from 3rd to 6th season, they seemed more of a brother-sister than lovers. Then suddenly POOF! Season 7 came along and they magically hooked up. See the difference? No? Ok, uh can you say "fan-service"?

I love reading TV Guide's Show Recaps from any show (Fringe recaps are hilarious and educational) but I've noticed a trend that does not please me in the least: the teenage fanbrat.
I know because I have to reluctantly acknowledge the fact that I was one for a while. Teenage fans tend to volatile yet treasured by networks because of they compose at least 35% of the TV audience. Yes, romance attracts a lot more viewers than just CSI-ing but abruptly catering that sector can cause disappointment for those who have been with the show for longer. For my part, I tend to enjoy my shows without being forcefed a bland excuse for Twu LUV (actually E/C has no evidence of that either...).

Another thing that arouses Twatlight-RAEG from this show is said fanbrat reaction to Eric Delko's departure. Like any show, actors will leave and do other things for many reasons: they might want to pursue film, the chemistry has run out or they are invited by other networks to work for them. But, dear fanbrat who read this, keep in mind that just because one actor is leaving "OMG TEH SHOWS GOING TO SUCK B/C ERICK AND CALLIE AREN'T TOGETHER!"...yes, I died a little inside writing that travesty. These are the same people who spam other people's fandoms with CAPSRAPE declaring that A/B ARE OTP AND UR SIK AND WRUNG FOR NOT SHIPPING THEM ('shipping is srs bsn, dontcha know?). Don't tell me that because Eric is leaving, the show's over: I saw when Speedle died and when Grissom left. Yes, their ratings slipped but hey, they're still on (if you haven't noticed by now, I'm a Horatio fan so I'm open to get the lulz for it).

TL; DR: Don't turn my forensic show into Twatlight. I mean it. I think I've discussed this before....

Week of Ups and Downs...

Good news, I already enrolled in all the classes I could and finished the last of my tests before the Accounting department exam. Bad news, I have to wake up at 6 am 'cause now all my classes start at 8 am, giving me a little more sleep time and the fact that I have classes on Friday (granted, it's just one...). The main problem of waking up at 6 am is that by that time, the main road I drive to get to the University is in full traffic so, back to waking up @ 5:30 every day it is.


Saw this...don't judge me XD David Caruso acts good but Nicolas Cage was...creepy to say the least (beefy asthmatic he is not) I wanna see him do an episode where Horatio go completely insane, even if it is just for a moment (like Session 9 nuts). Once again, thank you Mr. Caruso, for making this movie that inspired one of the most disturbing hospital scenes in Silent Hill. Sadly enough, as much as I love Horatio Caine (pretty much the reason I started watching CSI: Miami), the writers are wasting not only his talent but the rest of the cast's as well. The following in my season-in-review:

• Eric is reduced to a forlorn puppy who I desperately want to punt (though last night he and Ryan were sniping at each other like the old times) and Calleigh's acting weird...just say it, you're having Eric's baby and be done with it (copy-cat from CSI: NY, I see).
• Ryan has improved bounds and Natalia started to not be such an attention-whore.
  
• Horatio's acting like a CSI again (yay!) and I like the whole family arc thing (sorry Julia, time to go)
• The whole thing with Dr. Price, SAW IT COMING.

/fan rant

*Saving up for Angels and Demons* hopefully, I'll get to see it this Saturday...even if it is alone. Man, that's depressing.

Gotta go, must review for tomorrow's final presentation!

Movie Update!

About image...KICKASS (credit goes to adz4000, I take no credit)

Anyways, today was the national Workers' March (La Gran Marcha for those in Puerto Rico) and I STILL HAD CLASS...what the fuck? I had to wake up at 5:35 am just to haul my ass to what was summed to be an 1 1/2 hours of class. Worse off, most of the students and professors didn't even come, making my campus look like a ghost town. And top it off, I had the last CIBI test that just ruined my day until my boyfriend came over.

In other news, by some random train of thought, I thought about kids and then I remembered what three of my college friends said (all in different time frames and situations): "Whatever comes out of you will be a hellspawn". And when the time comes, I plan on it. I even had dreams (now delving into psychotic territory) on separate occasions and I predict my kid will be called into the principal's office a lot from speaking out and cursing like his/her mommy.

Can't wait until everything's done for and I can start vacation for a short break while Summer classes start.


Who dropped panties when she saw this trailer? I did! (Come on, with Hugh Jackman, Liev Schriber, Ryan Reynolds, new-guy-for-Gambit, who wouldn't?)

Who's going to go see it (hopefully) tomorrow? I will! Me and my boyfriend have been saving up money to go see movies this entire summer. The only two movies we're not going to see together is Star Trek (I'm a Star Wars girl though my interest is peaked with the new Capt. Kirk...) and Angels and Demons (because Robert Langdon is my homie and I will always prefer that book over Da Vinci Code any day).


Don't even joke about this one...I will see it. Hate to be a potty-mouth (but if you're reading this, you're kinda asking for it anyways) but doesn't this thing look like a va-yay-yay? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU MICHAEL BAY? When you said that you'd make the Transformers 'more organic', I don't need to be reminded of a baby-hole. I think we've had this discussion before with Megatron's design (don't get me wrong, a giant robot with a small-country's worth of ammunition and a face that suggests the place man has always feared to thread is SCARY). Now, I got you thinking, huh? LOL.

I apologize for any mental trauma the last parragraph may have caused

Thank you CSI: NY, CSI: Miami and Fringe for restoring my faith in quality episodes.

Got two B's (Marketing and Business Statistics) and an assload of final projects. Not much to actually write here due to most of it being in Facebook. Will have something to blog about tomorrow.

Anywho, thoroughly enjoying the Acer but is sad because I can't put Photoshop in here without a hard drive (I will get to that next week). My only problem is that now my parents are now obsessing in finding the original Chupi's purchase receipt (which I could not find for the life of mine) so they can give it to my littlest sister. As much as I would love to give her that comp, I simply can't find the receipt.

In TV news, trying to watch Trust Me on TNT (gives me another excuse to watch TV on Tuesdays besides Fringe. ENOUGH WITH THE ERIC/CALLEIGH OVERDOSING! And writers. lay off Ryan, he's had quite enough trouble as it is. I find myself drifting towards CSI: NY and more on House, lol.

I accidentally forgot about Earth Hour last night but I did my part and turned off all my lights by 9pm (I caught on very late in the event).

Well, that's all I have on my mind right now, take care y'all XD

Random post: Crypt Keeper Plastic Surgery People

Watched CSI: Miami last night...LOL at the prank Ryan and Eric played on the new ME. I really want to see next week's episode but I might run into a snag (due to Daylight Savings Time, the show's on 11 pm and I have to wake up @ 5:30 am to get to class)

I was watching E!'s special on plastic surgery and...HOLY SHIT. Some of those people stopped being human $40,000 ago. I'll admit, I had to get corrective surgery on my facial bones for health reasons but they look like blow-up doll rejects!

I also hate the fact that some girls would rather get their boobs done than get a brand new car...Trust me, after ten years, the car isn't going to sag and make your skin look like cheap leather that's been left out for too long. If you don't know how much the surgery costs and really don't give a crap about its risks, SAY NO TO SILICONE OR SALINE.
