I've noticed a trend.

So, I've watched all the episodes of Chuck that are available, at least until after the strike, and I've recently gotten my hands on all the episodes of Jake 2.0, which I just finished watching the first episode of.

The trend? Apparently, if you want to be a top covert super agent, working for the government, you must be early to mid 20s, cute, and never brush your hair. Also, you must be completely useless in social situations.

A friend of mine is loaning me the episodes of the Sci Fi miniseries Taken to watch, anyone out there seen this? If so, is it any good? I read the book, not sure which came first, the book or the show, but the book was very good.

ION: After having spent the entire weekend, with the exception of a short day Sunday, off work, I find myself in the situation of actually looking forward to work tomorrow, just so that I'll have something to do. I will, of course, completely change my mind when I have to wake up in just under four hours.

Some things I have learned over the course of this weekend? Going to Bumpers and playing pool while drinking is a great thing to do. Must convince friends that we need more nights like this. Rockband is an extremely great thing to play when your smashed. Even more so when you're sober and you find out that you're not as good at it anymore.

Crossing fingers that I get Guitar Hero 3 for my birthday!! I can't wait to piss people off by playing that at 4:00am.

And now, to bed I go. Have fun guys.

I really liked Taken. You should recognize a few Buffy actors on it, and since it was filmed in Vancouver, faces from Smallville and other BC shows.

YAY!! Plus, I heard Dakota Fanning is in it. I love her.

I haven't read the book, but I've seen Taken, and I thought it was marvelous. Very well done, and I really adored quite a few of the actors (Julie Benz and Dakota Fanning immediately pop into my mind - I thought they did brilliant work on this).

[luvxander.livejournal.com]

YAY for Julie Benz. I wonder which character she'll play. I'm betting it's the waitress mom of the alien kid. And I love Dakota Fanning. She may be young, but she's been amazing in everything I've seen her in, even War of the Worlds which, otherwise, sucked.

Yay Chuck! Isn't Bryce HOT?! I haven't seen Jake 2.0, but I do have the eps downloaded, so will get round to them one day. I want to see Taken too, yet another thing on the list.

I'm so buying Guitar Hero 2 when my student loan comes through. I completed my brother's copy of 3 and it rocks, but 2 has more songs I know, so I figure I'll get that one.

I just came across Chuck slash...woo hoo!

[luvxander.livejournal.com]

Yes, Bryce is hot, but I don't like him. And you should totally watch Jake 2.0, it's crazy good, and funny, and just plain fun.

Now, for this Chuck slash, who's slashed with whom? I'd readily hurt people to get my hands on Chuck/Awesome.

Where'd you get Jake 2.0? I wish to burn those to my computer.

[luvxander.livejournal.com]

I got all 16 episodes from a friendly person. I'll tell you in person next time you can bless me with your presence.

It's a deal.

Hey, I finally finished season 6. Daniel's back! Wheee!

I feel bad for Jonas, though. Does he come back into it anymore?

[luvxander.livejournal.com]

He's in an episode or two down the line, but mostly he stays where he belongs. Away from Daniel and Daniel's life.

[byakuganchick.livejournal.com]

I reject your close minded attituted and accept that there can be two woobie archaeologists in the show.

Daniel is still the better one, but Jonas is cool too.

Is it because he's perky that you don't like him? Perky people are people too!

[luvxander.livejournal.com]

No. Actually, perky people are breakfast.

But now. The reason I don't like Jonas is because he had a hand in the death of Daniel Jackson.

[byakuganchick.livejournal.com]

Sort of a hyper Soylent Green, then?

I too once thought as you did, and I disliked him for it. Then he pulled the banana out of the flak jacket and I was all "Aw, that's so cute! He's like a dorky little squirrel with food stashes all over the place."

And I feel bad for him, just as he was starting to feel accepted on the team, he has to leave. Poor thing. They should have moved him to Atlantis. They don't have a woobie archaeologist.
