Looks like love.

Okay, so this post will be filled with The Closer and Major Crimes spoilers. 

If you are a fan and haven't watched them yet then read this later.

So, finale, thoughts?

Things I liked:

-Didn't kill off the main characters - my prediction was that it would end with a shootout and Gabriel would die and Brenda would be stuck in witness protection since killing her off would bring nothing but outrage and boycott of Major Crimes. Hopefully they'll make guest appearances at some point. Loved the "hi chief!" yell from Tao when she called Fritz.

-Ties to the pilot with the "looks like love" reference (that probably no one but diehard fans like myself and apparently the Cool Aunt caught. We were texting back and forth during the finale but she crashed before the Major Crimes debut)
and "that bag" which was also referenced a lot in season one. Shooting Stroh through it was fantastic and reminded me a bit of Kill Bill Vol. 1 when Uma Thurman's character shoots Vernita Green through the cereal box - ironically the brand was named "Kaboom"
There's also the similarity between everyone hating Brenda in the pilot and now they all hate Raydor.

-I actually kind of like Rusty and am intrigued to see how he's included in Major Crimes since he's listed as a major character in the series and have the publicity photos to prove it. Was good to see the human side of Raydor as well.

-Intrigued about the female detective, "i need at least one person working here who actually likes me", hoping she'll last longer than Daniels did. She rocked.

-Didn't mind the ending, though it helps that it isn't officially over and Major Crimes doesn't suck so that's muchly appreciated.

Since Commander Taylor is now Assistant Chief Taylor I'm wondering if JK Simmons (Pope) is going to be in this at all since you never saw the actual chief in The Closer until he was retiring and handed it off to Delk.

I'm guessing with all the lawyers it's gonna turn into a Law and Order kind of thing - not sure I like the who pleas and deals thing.

Anyway, it was good and I'm glad it ended well and there weren't major loose ends which happens a lot with popular shows such as LOST and all that.

Though I actually didn't watch that one. Heard something about a smoke monster and went, eh.

Alright, so that was good today, also got to sleep in and went in for only 2 hours, tomorrow I'm back to 8 hours but I can take it. Was starting to get spoiled with all this sleeping in stuff but now I'm finally recovered from camp.

Think I'm gonna eat a popsicle and crash.

Song you know but forgot you knew it:





and yes, i'm aware that this post officially labels me as a nerd - like many others - but i've been with the show since the very beginning 7 years ago getting a bunch of other people hooked so it's worth it to look like a nerd.


out for the night.

Watermelon Watermelon Watermelon

Went to church and watched M&J sing. You know how some people, not me cause I sing, but some people, when they have to sing in front of people, they instead just mouth "watermelon watermelon watermelon"?? while the rest of the group does the actual singing? We were teasing my niece because we could hear my nephew singing but we couldn't hear her.

Magwilde from Bonekickers is still haunting me. Every thought in my head comes out in a Scottish accent. "It's like graveyard jenga down here." Driving me bonkers. I should record that line and put it as my ringtone. Or when she says "Identify yourself creepy caller." That'd be a good ringtone too. I don't even know what my regular ringtone is set as since I have specific ones for the people who actually call me. Oldest sisters is Queen cause its her favorite, or one of her favorites, Brother's is Star Wars, Second Sister's is Scissor Sisters, Father's (since he's started calling me randomly, I think he's bored out of his mind or something) is "Takin' Care of Business", Mom's is "Swingin'" by John Anderson (previously posted here My Life in Closed Captions: take these broken wings and learn to fly...), BFF has Rob Base and DJ Easy Rock (from the Proposal look for Ryan Reynolds singing "It Takes Two" on Youtube), High school friends have "Hey Ya" because it was our basketball theme song since Freshman year, Extended family has the Mario Bros theme song which is also frequently in my head......and I think that's really all the people that call me. Everyone else texts and that's just some weird beep sounding thing. Oh except work people. Maybe I should change that to 9-5 by Dolly Parton.

But thinking of the watermelon watermelon watermelon thing brought me to some of those songs that you think you know what they're saying or you just mumble it because they're singing so fast you have no idea what's going on. You know those ones?
Here's an example:
"One Week" by the Barenaked Ladies

It's highly likely that I posted this during 90s week. In fact I'm pretty sure that I did. But it's a good song and it goes with my theme so I'm posting it again.

or this one:

"Cherry Cola" Savage Garden

Not actual video but its the song that matters.

And right now they don't sound so fast. But when you're trying to sing them at karaoke in front of a bunch of people that completely changes.


Alright, now that I have my angle for my big paper, hooray!, I can go to bed and worry about the rest of it tomorrow. It's actually a big big angle so suddenly I'm not so worried about the 4 pages single spaced plus 1 page of intro. It's the citation in APA that's throwing me off. I'm used to MLA and it shouldn't be that big of a deal but it's still frustrating.


here's a bonus just for you...

Ryan Reynolds in the Proposal. Fantastic movie.
