It's all about me ... hey hey hey uh huh

[twasadark]

Since I've been friended lately (yay!) and because I'm sure the rest of you just can't get enough of me (bwa ha ha!!) ... I'm on TWITTER as twasadark where I attempt to amuse you with updates from my wild and crazy life (like when I happen to catch my birds getting busy with one another.).  Our online publishing company also has a twitter account under xcpublishing.  We've been publishing a line from each chapter of our free online fantasy novel The Gauntlet Thrown here (btw, I wonder whether this is intriguing or just annoying? If you can drop me a line about that sometime I'd appreciate it.)

And just to change subjects without notice, I'm really digging Audioslave. I have three of their songs on my Zune - Gasoline, Like a Stone, and I Am the Highway, all of which I love.  Can anyone rec other Audioslave songs I might like, or maybe an album of theirs that is the better than the others?  

I'm on the last ep of S2 of Dark Angel.  I did go ahead and watch all of S1 despite my vow not to.  It got less boring after the first disc, I thought.  And there was Zack to look at.  He's not as good as Alec, but then again, who is?  And speaking of Alec, I find it very unsatisfying the way they left his character just sort of fizzle out during the series finale.  Sigh.  Oh, well.  I guess that's what fanfic is for, right?  The absolute worst episode ever has to be Boo, the Halloween episode.  It was pretty dang painful.

Be Yourself. It's my favorite Audioslave. Like a Stone is 2nd. *g*

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Yay!!! Thank you! What a great song!

[lostandalone22.livejournal.com]

I added you on Twitter. And, your dog is adorable.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Yay!! I'll add you back. I must admit, it's not my dog ... but it sure is cute, huh?

[dysonrules.livejournal.com]

When your flist supplies you with an album, please forward to your Joe. *grin* I love them too.

WOOT!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

LOL! Will do! Did you see the song in the comments above?

[dysonrules.livejournal.com]

YEAH!!! WOOT! PS Michaela is drooling over your banner. Like WHOA.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA!!! Oh, btw, I'm sending you a DVD of the Supernatural ComicCon panel that Liz gave me. Michaela will LOVE watching it.

[dysonrules.livejournal.com]

OMG YES!!! She will flip the hell OUT. I can't believe she wants to see that horror movie BECAUSE DEAN IS IN IT. *sheesh*

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA!! OMG - she HAS to see it! Jensen in gigundo 3D!!!! *slobbers* x a billion!

[dysonrules.livejournal.com]

Jensen in 3D, holy shit that should be illegal.

*dazed*

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

There's actually a story, too. And a bunch of totally stupid deaths - but of course you expect that ...

[dysonrules.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but who will notice when that face is onscreen? *drools*

[crackedbuthappy.livejournal.com]

Isn't the whole "Alec can't help save the day" thing Michael Weatherly's fault? I know he had a major hate-on for Jensen because more people liked Alec than Logan in S2. I know there's that famous pool story where he made the writers change the scene so that Logan could win. There are also those reports that he made them cut Jensen's lines. I swear I heard that he made the writers change it so that Logan got to kick ass while Alec was kind of a second banana getting his ass beat in "Freak Nation."

Either way, Alec >>> All those other bitches.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Boo, hiss to Michael Weatherly!!! Didn't he know he was depriving fangirls for all eternity??

It was kinda weird that Alec got his butt kicked ... although I guess he was shot ... *kisses it alllllll better*

Yay for Alec!!!

[crackedbuthappy.livejournal.com]

Even with the injured arm, he still should have been super fast and super strong. He was just getting pummeled. And then Logan saves HIM? Are you kidding lol. Michael Weatherly is such a brat lol.

[downfall35.livejournal.com]

Hell yeah the Alba/Weatherly relationship ruined Dark Angel.

And I'm saying that as a Logan fan. (Though Alec is better.)

[crackedbuthappy.livejournal.com]

I've never had a problem with Logan. I always liked him through S1. It was when S2 jumped the shark (for the whole SERIES, not just him) I started to get annoyed with him. And that was mostly Weatherly's fault because he wanted so much control over the character and the show. He started to get on my nerves when Logan started playing the part of Big Damn Hero when in S1 he was the geek who sat on the sidelines 95% of the time. I LIKED that the show had a chick hero and a male sidekick. And I think he got sick of that, especially since they put Alec in the Big Damn (Reluctant lol) Hero role. I don't know what he's like on the NCIS set, but I really hope he's not as bitchy and jealous lol.

[downfall35.livejournal.com]

Well he was dating the lead and she pulled some strings along the way to better her character and his. Logan wasn't supposed to survive in much of season 2, actually I think he was supposed to die at the end of season 1, but Alba had it changed. Supposed that's just what can happen when co-stars date. But you're right season 1 Logan was great but season 2 Logan changed too fast, geek Logan was much better.

As for NCIS well it's Mark Harmon's show and he isn't the type to take shit from anyone. Plus I'd like to think Weatherly has grown and learned from his DA/Alba days.

[downfall35.livejournal.com]

*High fives*

Boo was totally painful to watch.

He's not as good as Alec, but then again, who is?

Ben??? :P

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

LOL!! Good point! I read some great Ben/Alec slash the other day .... Because You're Unforgiven Too (http://abendstern1601.livejournal.com/14775.html) by abendstern1601.

[downfall35.livejournal.com]

I know Alec/Ben is strangely hot. lol.

[jaylan121.livejournal.com]

Heya baby
Alec's character was left out in some episodes intentionally to satisfy Mr Micheal Weatherly who didn't want Alec's charm to overshadow him & who was really mean to Jensen during the shooting of Dark Angel
*slaps him*
Your banner is just drool worthy, GUH
*licks screen*

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow. I didn't realize that actors had such power over their shows! Bad, Michael Weatherly!! BAD!

The banner is by _hopefulness_. I want to marry it. LOL

[downfall35.livejournal.com]

They do when their girlfriend is the lead character with whom the show cannot be done without. Unless they follow Alec around for season 3. Would be much better imo.

As for the Alec/Logan stuff. Well Alec should just tie Logan down and show him why he is the more favoured character. *goes to happy place*

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

Haha!! THAT would have been an awesome twist, huh? Dump the girl and just go for each other!

[justy213.livejournal.com]

I loved Boo! It was so stupid it was hilarious!

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

WAT?

I think I might have to defriend you.

*grins*

[justy213.livejournal.com]

I'm not saying that it's one of my favs but I die laughing when, at the end, Logan whips off his glasses and says "I'm Eyes Only..." It's so cheezy it's funny.

And, hopefully, I will never write anything that lame...

[parisindy.livejournal.com]

But alec got hurt in the final episode so that was cool

but i really wish we could have seen more :(

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

I know, right? Alec, FTW!

[parisindy.livejournal.com]

i love the little things like joshua helping hin out of the van at the end

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

I don't remember that part. I'll have to look for it! :-)

[parisindy.livejournal.com]

its not even a second hehe but its little things like that that keep a whumper going hehe

[bigmamag.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I love audioslave. I have no other songs I know of, but now I'll troll this post, lol.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

That are awesome, aren't they? :-)

[diurnal-lee.livejournal.com]

Okay, randomly drive-by stalking today. It's interesting that you find S1 DA boring. I adored it while it was airing, partly because I bought the Max/Logan ship that later would creep me out, but mostly for the butt-kicking female lead, the sheer science fictiony goodness of it all, and the way they played the normal-people storylines against the craziness of Max' hidden life. (And then I go and love Art Attack because it inverts that last, with the Jam Pony crew playing with gun-toting criminals while the crime-fighting team attend a family party.)

I miss Zack and his uber-intense mission to protect his family contrasted against Max's to connect with her family. (I think I kinda love Dean Winchester because he embodies both.) Zack's continued existence is one of the few SF elements I enjoyed in the second season, and I think it's fun that there's this canon amnesia to play with.

I wish we'd seen more diversity in the X5 guys, but I guess that would have meant no Jensen doubled, so I don't wish it too loudly.

Season 2 I often find tedious. I tend to watch it for Joshua, Alec, and the sake of completeness. I prefer to pretend that Boo never happened, though. I mean, since when does Max even fall asleep when she's not either going into heat or bleeding out?

I think we're supposed to understand that Alec is a LOT more hurt in the finale than he lets on, like maybe the bullet hit something important. (Shattered bone? Major nerve bundle? Couldn't have been an arterial hit, or we'd have seen a lot more red.) He plays the injury down when Max asks about it, but he'd been holding it (keeping pressure? cradling the hurt?), where in Gill Girl he totally ignored that earlier wound until he needed it as an excuse to leave. In the fight with the Familiar, he reacts noticeably when she gets a hit on his arm. And then as somebody above mentioned, Joshua later helps him out of the van. How hurt does an X5 have to be to need help with a half meter jump?

. . . not that I've thought about this or anything.

[twasadark.livejournal.com]

LOL - you can randomly drive-by stalk me anytime. :-)

I do like Zack's single-minded "protect protect protect" instinct a lot. It reminds me of Dean, although his character is more nuanced and of course more gorgeous, lol.

Oh, great thoughts about poor Alec's injury! That sounds like a perfect hurt/comfort coda (hint hint hint hint). Now I totally want to watch that ep again!
