you know what? I love stuff, let's have a list!

* I love Lady Gaga. I'm not ashamed to admit this. I love her so much I went to Target and bought The Fame Monster instead of dling it like I did The Fame.

* I also love P!nk. So much so I'm using her in my icon. She's one of my personal fitness/physique inspirations. She's my height and frame [except she has boobs but not everyone can be perfect] and she's fucking RIPPED. I love her voice, her music, her attitude, and most especially how she's not afraid to admit that she's pretty much a psycho!bitch at heart

* I love the P90x. It was arms and shoulders today and I need to get some heavier weights. I thought I'd make do with the bands but I want the satisfaction of a weight in my hand -- plus I'm hella awkward with the bands I'm just not that coordinated! I killed it on the ab ripper today! I got in *nearly* all the reps I'm only half a set shy on two of the exercises and I only started doing those exercises this week! Granted, I'm still doing modified forms, but I'm getting there! Next week is a "rest week" and after that I get to take my 30 day shots. EEEEEEEE!!!

* Make It or Break It continues to be happy making sports-themed television. Why doesn't everyone on my flist watch it? GYMNASTS y'all!

* You know what else I love? I love Chuck. I love everything about Chuck, even the stuff a lot of its audience hates. I love how even though Buffy and Alias ended years ago, Dollhouse is going away, and that the Bionic Woman completely sucked, there is still a female on television that literally kicks ass and takes names. I love you Agent Walker! Gratuitous shirtless scenes of Captain Awesome ftw \o/\o/\o/ [I haven't watched this week's yet, don't talk about it!]

* Friday Night Lights continues to be some of the best damn television that has ever been made. This season is especially amazing. I don't care how many of y'all hate Becky and wish that she would go away and/or die. I LOVE HER. And everyone else on the show [except the fucking McCoys], especially ::gasp:: Buddy Garrity. Buddy Garrity warms my soul.

* I love a lot of other tv too, but I'm actually 1 - 2 episodes behind on every single thing I watch because of this earlier bedtime and the interruption in weekend television that is football. Football will end soon and although my social calender is about a thousand times more packed than it was, I will eventually catch up. Or at least get close, but then there's my stack of comics and it's actually taller than I am at this point so yeah, I'll probably always be behind. Dude, I still only in the "G"'s in Yuletide!

* I love my flist -- y'all always make me smile and motivate me and warm my heart as well as my soul -- y'all are better than Buddy Garrity, who knew?

I love Becky too! And FNL in general. And Rihanna.

I love how Becky *looks* like Tyra, has Lyla's coloring, and is completely her own person. I imagine she has Tim tied up in about a thousand knots. Poor Tim. ::pets him::

I've been thinking about getting Rhianna's latest -- I've heard mixed stuff about it. It seems to have polarized a lot of people.

I personally think it's absolutely amazing - a really honest, mature, emotionally raw album with quite a few stand out tracks. Check out "Fire Bomb" on youtube (it's just the audio) - if she doesn't release that as a single, and if it then doesn't become a massive hit, I will be shocked.

Will do -- it's the emotional rawness and anger that the people who hate it point out. They want her to be happy under her umbrella or something else equally ridic

Oh see that's what's special about the album imo. I don't get people who want their favourite artists to remain static. I like to hear singers mature and change and experiment. I also do not understand how anyone could want Rihanna to do an upbeat, shallow album in the wake of what happened to her.

Exactly. I would have been shocked if she *had* made a bubblegum album. Most artist's best works come after a life changing event whether it was good or bad. P!nk's latest which I've listened to untold times is a million times more mature and honest than her earlier works and IMO it's by far the best.

I love Becky, too. I think she's a fascinating character. In a way she's Tim Riggins as a girl.

Her storyline knocked my socks off, everything about it has been perfect. She's a lot like Tim, she's a lot like Tyra, but she's got this earnestness about her that makes me want to help her shop for evening gowns and make her hang out with Landry and Jess just in case her grades aren't quite up to snuff. That girl's moving and shaking and desperate to get out of town. I'm hoping she does.

Aw, YAY for lots of love, especially loving the improvements from the P90x! W00t!

WOOT!

I looked at weights yesterday at Target and good grief! $20 for 1 weight? That's high. I'm going to check the evil empire [wal-mart] over the weekend.

Yikes! Yeah, I think I got mine at a local chain, but in their bargain basement. And I remember thinking they were pricey, but they were less than that.

[identity profile] turnonmyheels.livejournal.com 2010-01-27 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I could see 20 for a set, but for *1*

sheesh. maybe I could learn to be less awkward with the bands *g*

I am two weeks behind, but I love Becky too! I have since the moment I first saw her. In fact I don't even understand why anyone wouldn't. She's just such a great character and I really really love watching her and Tim interact.

It never stops surprising me how female fans hate certain female characters. I'm convinced it's because they hate themselves.

She and Tim are both comedy gold and genuinely sweet. I love them.

Becky is hated the same way that Lyla and Tyra were hated, and for the same reasons.

And yes, I think it's because, in part, these women hate themselves and/or they can't stand the idea that they aren't *the one* -- even for fictional characters.

[identity profile] turnonmyheels.livejournal.com 2010-01-27 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
It's such a sad sad commentary on being female. I feel worse for Becky being hated than I did for Tyra and Lyla combined. All she did was have a crush on Tim, and really, what female [and male] viewer of the show doesn't, one way or another?

I was going to say exactly this. Yes. This aspect of femaleness has always baffled and saddened me.
