don't see it coming though it's routine

It's been over a month and a half without nothing on here. I'm not shocked but I don't like leaving this journal bare. I have been commenting on some posts but still...so--

Currently watching Teen Wolf, SYTYCD, Awkward., Suits

Movies viewed: Prometheus, The Amazing Spiderman both I liked despite some flaws.

Music: Have had Marina and the Diamonds' Electra Heart, Lana Del Rey, Chemical Brothers, and tracks from The Hood Internet on constant rotation, with a bit of Amy Winehouse and Fun. thrown in. I want to have those two albums as a soundtrack to a story I haven't written or read.

Sports: still watching Tennis (Wimbledon was historic today, though I will always feel bad for Murray and have the belief he will win at least one Slam at some point), did watch Olympic Qualifying for Swimming and Gymnastics and definitely plan to tune in this summer.

Books: My reading has dropped off considerably. I would be surprised if the same thing hadn't happened last year.

Lydia rings very true to me because I've watched my daughter try to walk the social balance beam between popularity and intelligence. And I could totally see Stiles or Scott telling everything to Lydia soon enough. There's been just too much around her, and she's so involved whether she wants to be or not. And Stiles obviously cares about her (his obsession remains adorable to me). I think everyone keeps trying to pretend to themselves that since she didn't change, she's okay and they should keep her innocent. But if either she tells them about what's going on in her head, or they tell her the truth, I think it's all going to explode fairly quickly.

I don't see Derek's pack dying easily, not when it seems to be set in opposition to Scott's pack, now that they've admitted that's what's going on (it was obvious to me for a while).

I keep going round and round in circles on what I think is up with Lydia. It seems like delusions to me, since no one else is seeing it, but it's certainly possible someone is close by and can't be seen by anyone else. Personally I think the virus is still in her system and she's still changing but her body is resisting it kind of viciously. I suspect she might be becoming something entirely new or very little known.

Oh? I love Scott's mom, who is non-present enough to make it a teen show, and yet there are logical reasons why she's got trouble keeping track of him as a single mom who obviously loves and cares and is working her tailbone off to keep him with a roof over his head and in food and all. And Stiles' dad just cracks me up. But then, STILES. IS. AWESOME. So yeah. His relationship with his dad is great.

I want to know what the photographer dude is doing. He's obsessed with Allison. But there's something more there. He's... too watchful, too curious, and way too interested. And kind of creepy.

AND. Haven't seen last night's episode yet. Hoping to see it tonight, but not sure the husband will be awake late enough to do so.

I wanted to watch last night, but unfortunately my husband tends to fall asleep early, so we watch recorded things and catch up the next day if we can. It really is good getting to watch with someone. I have a few things I watch on my own (Bunheads, Degrassi) and one that I watch with my daughter (we're working our way through The O.C.), but most everything else I get to share with my husband. Who gets fandom. And laughs when I mutter "and THAT scene just launched a thousand fics..."

I started to watch things on tumblr then failed because it kept spoiling me on The Secret Circle while that was still on. And I realized that unless I watch things RIGHT NOW it gets frustrating. I've had issues with Twitter and an author who, for a while, was live tweeting Teen Wolf episodes. I was like REALLY, you QUOTE while WATCHING? I know, I get cranky easily... *sighs* But I have to live by my DVR.

Now I can't WAIT to see the episode. I have to tell the husband it's a Lydia episode. That will make him stay awake for it, right? I hope!

I may just like the idea of them wanting to leave her innocent because it does show a sign of good in them, and is in very stark contrast to how Derek's pack works, y'know?

Oooh yay, I can't wait. Oh right, Jackson needs a controller... now I'm going to be all thinky thoughts until tonight!!!

My daughter watched Degrassi with me for a while, but I was too impatient to watch and she didn't keep up and she got behind again. Degrassi also gives me infinite giggles because the actors keep showing up on Rookie Blue. Looks like Katie will be on this week. I recorded a Bunheads last night, looks like, although IMDB doesn't have a proper date update. I'm so confused on when it airs because I thought it was Friday but I guess it's Monday? For all the good press it's gotten, I suspect it will be canceled because honestly, it is WAY too smart to survive. Every time there's an offbeat humor witty show, I lose it. This drives me nuts. :(

My tumblr belongs to my other self, and I never tuned it properly to follow things I was interested in but leave the fandom stuff that might spoil me out. Then I got impatient and stopped dealing with it. I love the gifs and all, but find it way more fun to just go hunt for things periodically.
