What AtS Femme Fatale Are You?


Pacey and Joey
*Pacey and Joey*
awww...you two make the darn cutest couple!
Things may have been rough with you two in the
beginning...but hey, opposites certainly do
attract!
And the tension you two had been feeling all those
years added for some hot, steamy romancing!

Okay, I was scoping out the DC fanart, and the beautiful finale arts, this one in particular, have me mindlessly giddy and mushy again. That will take a long time to load, it's not a wp, but a long fabulous banner.

Anyway, DC quiz time!

Jen Lindley
You're Jen Lindley! You like to help people out, and strive to rid yourself of your past mistakes. You tend to dwell on things for too long, but usually do it out of the goodness of your heart, and the fact that you deserve whatever it is you're after. You're a good person to have around, and have a lot of respect for those around you.

'Cause Rach asked for it and her commenter is down, here's the link to everyone's favorite gossip site The A List!

Who had this pair down for May 28th in the celeb divorce pool? Now I feel stupid for predicting sixteen months. I just thought she'd have too much pride to let all the nay-sayers prove right so quickly...

Is it sad that I take joy in seeing this one dissolve? I know I shouldn't, but anytime a celeb splits up a marriage - especially the marriage of non-celebs - I love to see it thrown back in their faces.

Wow. I really had every intention of blogging a bit tonight, but I decided to join more fanlistings, and let's just say that that sucked up WAY more time then it should have. Fanlistings are a sickness, y'all...

Thursday, May 22, 2003

Heading off to the airport to pick up the bro-in-law soon. My computer is in the spare room that he'll be sleeping in, so I have no clue what I'll do with myself this weekend. I guess I could look for a job.


Bwahahahaha! Just kidding. Didn't mean to scare you all... okay, maybe I did a little bit. But have no fear, there will be no jobs for The Trix anytime soon.

Wednesday, May 21, 2003

Okay, now that it's aired on the west coast, and I know One has had time to download and start watching "24" I can post my thoughts. I'm through with the invisitext though, so if you're unspoiled, I apologize.

Noooooooooooooo! Not my David! NOOOOOOOOOO!

Damn you Mandy! Damn you!

I loved this episode, and I choose to believe that my POTUS will be saved. He just will. No, I don't know how, but they can take his arm if needed. I'm also convinced that the VP is in on it, because Herr Max knew real quickly about the aborting of the bomb squad. Either the VP or the Secretary of Defense. One of the two. Someone wants a war, or they at least want Palmer out of office. I did love that they managed to tie Mandy back into all of this. And my gut instinct tells me that her return is the reason that they changed the direction the Michelle/Carrie storyline was originally headed. Maybe Mandy is Carrie's new girlfriend? And I think Mandy's return will bring Nina back next season. She has immunity and they obviously work on the same side.

I have no idea what to make of Marie's comment about Kate (everyone's?) safety. No clue what to think there. Was the Handshake of Doom part of a bioattack? Is that possible?

I loved the Sherry/Jack interaction. As I mentioned to Pooh, I would be more than pleased if next season was the VengeanceSherry and Jack show. Oh yes. That would be awesome.

Smiling Tony? I need that cap. That's my next blog layout. Or maybe I'll just keep it for myself.

Still miffed about Palmer. I was so busy worrying that they'd kill my girl Sherry that I didn't worry about him. He was so safe in custody. *cries* I would have liked to see righteous SSAgent Aaron by his side at the end. How quickly he was forgotten.

Kate/Marie/PopWarner. This had better be building up to next season, otherwise you wasted a lot of my precious Palmer hour.

Loved FightingJack. Loved the wall walk. Loved the not-dead-yet way that he carries on with his mission. Love him and Sherry working together. Yeah, I already mentioned that. Shut up.

I'm hoping that next season doesn't pick up immediately. I need everyone to go home and sleep and shower first. Y'all are looking a bit haggard, and I'm sick of your clothes.

I need to go watch my S1 DVDs - I'm already in withdrawal...

From E!Online:

"The verdict is in: The Practice will be back next year on ABC, but it will be six cast members short.

In an effort to pull the long-running, Emmy-winning legal drama back to budget, creator David E. Kelley has announced that a half-dozen key players--Dylan McDermott, Lara Flynn Boyle, Kelli Williams, Lisa Gay Hamilton, Chyler Leigh and Marla Sokoloff--will not be back in court.

McDermott may be back for a four-episode guest stint, but his $300,000-an-episode-and-rising price tag worked to eliminate him from full-time 2004 employment. In fact, only legal eagles who will be back for certain are Steve Harris, Camryn Manheim, Michael Badalucco and a few Practice newbies, like Jessica Capshaw."

LMFAO. I can't stop laughing. This show has been creatively DOA for the last... three or four seasons, and this just cracks me up. Michelle's payday is big enough, Kelley. Just sponge off of her and leave the tv world alone for a decade or two, okay? Please.

Today's Spark:
If you had to choose between the services of a cook, maid, chauffer, or masseuse — absolutely free, but only for a year — which one would it be? Why?
If a chef, what would you have him or her cook? How would a chauffer change your daily routine (if at all)? Have fun... ponder each choice before making your final selection.


Let's see, a chef for a year would be nice, but Josh is a pretty swell cook, all the men in his family are, so why waste my freebie on something I've already got? I'd take the chauffer only if I got to keep the car, and the masseuse only if he were the Kief. Or the Pace. Or the Sark. Oh hell, I'm talking myself into taking the masseuse, but what I'd really want is a maid. Especially since I'll be moving again this year. It'd be too sweet to have someone else to do all the cleaning up after the packing and the cleaning up before the unpacking. Yeah, a maid would be nice. Especially if the maid is actually the Kief in a French maid's uniform... ;)

And/Or: Conversely, if you had to work as one of the above for a total stranger, which job would you pick?
I'd absolutely prefer to be the masseuse. Masseusing is fun. Especially if the total stranger is the Kief. Or the Pace. Yes, even the Sark. But especially the Kief. Can you tell that I'm all geared up for the "24" finale?

Cause I am.

So geared up...

Some snippets from the fabulous Sars/WingChung recap of the "DC" finale, hour one.

"Not all of us were fags at fifteen, Jack. It's not so easy for some of us." As soon as he's said it, Doug recoils like he regrets it. Kerr Smith aims for "stunned," but lands somewhere closer to "told the deli is all out of egg salad, and would he like tuna instead." Jack shakes his head all, "Uh uh, not cool," and breathes that he can't believe Doug just said that. Doug apologizes quietly, and Jack says Doug's not sorry: "You know what the difference is between you and me, Doug? You were a fag at fifteen. You just haven't stopped hating yourself for it." Doug tries to cry. I'm going to assume that line was written by this Maggie Friedman and aimed at Kevin Williamson, because damn. I've heard of self-hating gay men, but he makes Tom Cruise look like the grand marshal of the Pride parade. Not that Tom Cruise is gay, because he totally isn't. In fact, I didn't even mention Tom Cruise in this paragraph. That's a typo. It's supposed to say "Rip Taylor."

Any "Rip Taylor" bashing is good by me. Bash on...

Pacey leans forward and plants a big smooch on Joey, dipping her backwards and everything. It's the kiss we saw in the promos, and it's pretty good. Virginia Madsen blinks a few times, and then pouts off. Joey looks stricken. Pacey breathes, "Thanks," and kisses Joey softly on the cheek. Joey wets her pants, if you know what I'm saying. Wait, that wasn't subtle. So you do know what I'm saying.

Hee. Substitute "Joey" with "every woman in the world", and I think I know exactly what you're saying...

Jack says that Jen is fine, and Grams says she isn't fine, and repeats that she's very sick: "It's her heart." The camera pans around everyone's worried faces, starting with Gale, who makes this absolutely awesome face, like, "Thanks a lot for fucking up my wedding, HEART GIRL."

That cracks me up, because it is the perfect description of Gale's expression. Good times.

On to today's Questions of the Day:

1. What's your most treasured possession?
Possession? Hmmm. No point in giving the sentimental answer (my grandmother's ring), so I'll have to go with my computer.

2. What's your favourite gadget?
I'm really fond of that Chef Wizard I keep seeing on infomercials, but I don't have one yet. So that leaves either my Food Saver (y'all have seen what it can do to marshmellows, right?) or my teakettle. I use my teakettle more often. Teakettle it is!

3. What is the best novel you've ever read?
Hmmm. This is hard on an unfair level. Best, is entirely different from favorite. As far as novels that were really compelling, Bel Canto could have been up there, if she hadn't crapped out on the ending. The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay is up there, but I can't say it was the best ever. Hmmm. Screw it, I'm sticking with my faves. Favorites being Thomas Hardy's The Mayor of Casterbridge and Anne Bronte's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

One of these days I'm going to do some actual blogging again, I just know it...

Lyrical survey! I was just over at Amy's and saw that she had posted one of the lyric surveys, and remembered that I had mine sitting on my hard drive from one of those days when I just couldn't get online. Y'all, MSN never gave me problems until my six month trial period was over. Make of that what you will... Anyways, this is one of two lyric surveys we've got floating around. I had done one of these about a year ago, and since the two are mostly different, I'm posting the one I didn't do before, but I might have stolen some of the lyrics from the first go-round and used them again. I DID make an attempt to use them in a different type of question though... really. :) It's been a long day, I've had too much caffeine, and I'm still giddy. Good mood. All day. Even when I didn't have to be in a good mood. It makes me all rambly-like... Anyway. Surveyage!

1) Are you male or female?:
Have you seen the parade in her eyes?
Hungry and hot, like the fourth of July.

5) Where do you wish you were right now?:

You want to be understood
Yeah, well, I understand

7) Any words of advice?:
Hold on little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
Wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
- Mr. Big, “To Be With You”



8) What do you wish you were doing right now?:
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey what else can we do now?
Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow
Back your hair
Well the night's busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
Oh-oh come take my hand
Riding out tonight to case the promised land
- Bruce Springsteen, "Thunder Road"


9) What do you think about drugs and alcohol?:
All the perfect drugs
And superheroes
Wouldn’t be enough
To bring me up to zero
- Aimee Mann, "Humpty Dumpty"

13) What do you think about your school?:
Told me they'd teach me to live by their rules
So I wouldn't be nobody's fool
I found out not too long
Their rules wouldn't let me sing my song
I knew in order to take a stand
I had to pull up my roots and move on in this land
-Susan Tedeschi, "Gonna Move"



14) How do you feel right now?:
Who needs shelter when the morning’s coming?
Absolutely there's no one
Who needs shelter from the sun?

You thought I'd be crawling the walls
Like a tiny mosquito and trembling in fear
Well you may be king for the moment
But I am a queen understand
And I've got your pawns and your bishops and castles
All inside the palm of my hand
- Poe, "Control"

Dangit. I'm having a shipgasm. First Pacey/Jo. Then Joey/Rachel. And now? I'm trying to go to bed, and I turn on the tv, and what should I find? While You Were Sleeping, which is just my very favorite romcom of the 90's. So now I'm on a Jack/Lucy high, and I just feel the need for pictures.


"I gave him my heart, he gave me the world..." Shut up. It's my blog I can rewrite anything I feel like.


"I'm in love with your son. Not that one. That one." Hee!


*sigh*


I know you're all laughing at me, but I can't hear you. La la la la laaaaaaaa!

And how about a little Joey/Rachel lurve? None of the caps I found were very good quality, but...

Joey: But it is odd how a women's purse looks good on me, a man.
Rachel: Exactly! Unisex!
Joey: Maybe you need sex. I had sex a couple days ago.
Rachel: No! No, Joey! U-N-I-sex.
Joey: Well, I ain't gonna say no to that.


Stop laughing at me. You're all just cold and dead inside. Whatever, it's not like we haven't already established that I've gone soft.

And of course, time for some Pacey/Jo lovin'... I'm in such a good mood, I even took time to find caps where her hair doesn't look like ass!

Awwwwwwwwwww. This one makes me all swoony. Not that I wasn't already all swoony. SHUT UP!


Dude. Oh man. DUDE. Why weren't any of my proms like this? I only went to... 6? 7? One sophomore year, two junior year, and four senior year...seven. And none of them involved Pacey. Hmmph. Anyway, not about me, so I'll ignore that she chased after Dawson in this episode, since we all know she wound up with Pacey.


There is no need for words.


I swear, the "Buffy" finale better suck as much as I'm expecting it to, or I'm going to be stuck in a perpetual state of mush.

I was massively spoiled for "DC", so even though I loved it, I was a bit saddened by some of the cut moments. Just a snippet from the car scene, after Pacey has dropped off Dawson:

JOEY: So what would have happened? If we had wound up together? Where would we be? What would it be like?
She just looks at him…
He takes a deep breath, and then, he KISSES HER. A beat. When he pulls back --
PACEY: Something like that. Every day.


And this from the desk of One:

"The Pacey or Dawson contest was like laughable. [Dawson] made the worst case ever. It is like even he was on Pacey's side."

Can you blame him?

And to top of a fabulous couple days of television - the Lakers got blown out of the playoffs by San Antonio. Here's to you, Mr. Robinson!

Shut up. I don't care how many points he had, or if Duncan carries the team. I've had a crush on The Admiral since I was way too young (8?) to have a crush on a man his age. SHUT UP.

Eeeeeeek! All my Joeys are getting it right this season! Rachel/Joey 4EVA! Weeeeeeeeeeeeee! Dude, at this rate ASS will be changing names to "Alias Specs & Smush"....

Okay... the promised celeb gossip:

Nicole's New Man?
When I shared news this with Jo, we had the same reaction - "He's not married!"

JHo. 'Nuff said.
Seriously, if you're going to attach your name to something, use it. What a golddigger!

Ok... I was going to start off today with some great celeb gossip, but my browser crashed and erased it all, so that can wait.

Talking to Jenai this morning we discovered that we both planned on writing the producers of "Alias" to express our love and support for the storyline created by the finale. Since we've all seen the shipper backlash (even though it's not as bad as I anticipated) coming from some of our fellow fans, I can only assume that they'll be doing the same, but in a negative fashion. We're calling this Operation: We LOVED the Finale, because it's way too early in the morning for us to be more clever. We'll work on that...

Anyhow, we hope that the rest of you will join us in spreading the finale love! The address is:

Ken Olin (or whomever you like)
c/o Alias
500 South Buena Vista St.
Burbank, CA 91521-5191

Monday, May 05, 2003

I'm only online for a few minutes, so I'm just posting a little addition to my earlier definition. I should get on again later tonight or early tomorrow, and one of these days I'll get all these finale thoughts out...

Okay, so I'm totally convinced that Syd just snapped and rolled. No time machine. No kidnapping. Let's think about all the mental stress she's been under ... well, heck if I'm going to list it. You've all seen this season, right? She was totally trying to lighten her load in the car with Vaughn, trying to un-burden herself of some of the stuff that's nagging at her, and yeah - he knows what's up, but instead of being there for her, being a shoulder to cry on, he cut her off... again. Then she finds that the only other people she thought she could confide in are "Evil" and "Dead"... That's enough to make any girl have a psychotic episode.

Plus, she saw big screen Vaughn mackage... ;)

Dun dun duuuuuuuuuh! 12th Grade psychology class to the rescue!

fugue (n.) -
Psychiatry. A pathological amnesiac condition during which one is apparently conscious of one's actions but has no recollection of them after returning to a normal state. This condition, usually resulting from severe mental stress, may persist for as long as several months.


I am the happiest fangirl who ever fanned. Tonight's "Alias" was spectacular - I'll admit that I was a bit nervous before hand, I was hearing chatter that it was making people think of 'Phase One', and I think we all remember how much I detested that particular episode. And I really haven't looked forward to each week quite as much as I did prior to that episode. But now... I can't wait for S3. Is summer over yet?

I'm just digging this so bad. Best episode ever - by far. And not just because of the SVR mindscrew at the end, even though that was greatly appreciated. *Thanks JJ!* It's all such a blur right now, but I'm going to try to be semi-coherent.

Okay, the opening scene. Made me giggle. Vaughn's the "point man". Now THAT's some serious dirty talk. I needed a shower after I heard that - and if my skin doesn't heal from these tenth degree burns, I'm sending my bill to JJ. Seriously.

Okay, you know what - I need to go watch this again. And then I'll post. But I loved it! Every second once we got past those first few seconds. ;)

Everyone! Go to Rhien's blog now!

Friday, May 02, 2003

Name analysis stolen from Josie's:

You can take thought-directed actions. You have a great deal of loyalty to those you love. You have much inner strength. You need to learn flexibility.

You can be quite inventive and quite curious.

My middle name:
You are adventurous with a tendency to be foolhardy. You are aggressive and definitely have leadership abilities. You have a diplomatic flair to your nature. Equality and fairness are important to you. You must learn the lessons of self-worth; learn to love yourself before you can love others. You are relatively demonstrative in your affections. You enjoy being stroked verbally and physically. (Niiiiiice.) You try to be prudent. You have good business acumen. You need to learn flexibility. You can handle details well. You have a methodical mind.

My maiden name:
You are a constructive thinker. You have a need for monetary security. You need to learn to be expressive. You are a person who cannot tolerate being misunderstood. You must learn to give 'wise' service and not be a martyr. You must learn to give 'wise' service and not be a martyr (Could have just hit me with a hammer.). You need to learn to be expressive (Repeating yourself again...). You are a person who cannot tolerate being misunderstood (Okay! I get it!). Your privacy is important to you. You have a rich inner life. You need to learn faith in place of fear.

My married name:
You are a quick study, and can be self-taught. Your curiosity can get the best of you, but you must learn to concentrate. You have a lack of confidence in your mental abilities and do not like being forced into giving your opinion. You have a need to be up front. You have a discriminating nature coupled with perseverance and family pride. You need to learn to give and receive love for love's sake. You have a need to be assured of affection. You need to learn concentration and not to scatter your mental energies.

That last line is more true then you would think...
