Once Upon A Time - Shepherd

I promised more blogs right? Well I have to start somewhere, and I figure making my unhealthy obsession at least marginally productive would be an excellent idea - so I'm going to review some of the shows I watch - starting now.

I am absolutely in love with the new show from the writers of Lost - Once Upon A Time. It suffers from the same flaw that made me lose track in Lost - miss one episode and, pardon the pun, you're lost. Which is what happened to me and that show. I have intents to start that from the beginning... I would need to acquire it.

My roommates and I love OUT (that's what I'll call it, it seems reasonable, no?) - we look forward to watching it every Sunday and, along with Vampire Diaries, it's one of the few shows I actually watch when it airs. I'm a huge proponent of Hulu, but sometimes I just need to know RIGHT AWAY what happens on a show. Every single time we watch this show, we are left with more questions. It's entrancing - I love the costuming, the visuals, the script, the acting - it's all superb. And this coming from an indiscriminate TV junkie.

This last episode was no exception. Charming came so close to a resolution with Snow only to be thwarted once again by the Queen. I had such hope that he would be the first to remember, but it seems the forces of evil are too organized at the present time. I can't quite get an understanding of Rumple's motives - but that's the point of him, isn't it? I'm just SO FRUSTRATED by the whole thing, I want Snow and Charming to get together so badly, I'm so mad that his false memories have been implanted, and the doctor aka the uncle from Vampire Diaries is just Mr. McCreepyPants.

I continually enjoy the piecing together of the timeline, and revelations of the characters' pasts. Charming's real world wife as the daughter of King Midas? No wonder she's such a meanypants (I'm having a pants night, sorry guys)

Things I am most looking forward to in this show:

- next week's episode (which I won't be able to see until Monday :[ )
- someone remembering his true past
- the continued cracking of the spell (Snow's coffin last week?)
- more deals with Rumple
- general interactions among the first family (Snow, Emma, Charming, and Henry)

Them's the way I see 'em

Looking forward to keeping this blog (more) active!

I'll never get this right, will I?

Hey y'all.

It's been a couple of months so of course it's time for another blog. I wish I remembered to do this more often but with two vlogs (kittenpaws33 and 39reasonswhy) and it being my final year at uni - welllllll you know.

I tried (by tried I should say signed up for) NaNoWriMo but as with this, I never seemed to have time to start. And I made up lots of excuses. I'm good at that.

It's hard for me to take a leap, especially when I think I can fail. I don't think that's really news to anyone. So I have lots of ideas, but I rarely manage to have the wherewithal to start them on my own. It's funny because I excel at things when I set my mind to them but lately, my brain has seemed... fuzzy. I don't know how else to explain it. 16 years of knowing exactly what I'm supposed to do, where I'm supposed to go, what I'm supposed to excel at - it's gotten me here and I'm not sure where to go next.

I have a plan though! And I'm not telling you internet, but it's a good one! In the mean time, look forward to more posts from me, as I procrastinate these last few weeks of class.
