Lords of Kobol, hear my prayer...

Today oficially indicates the beginning of the autumn season, so we shall bid out farewells to the summer that had gone by so quickly this particular year. Furthermore, happy Rosh Hashanah to everyone who celebrates it!

-♠- "Shiny, Let's Be Bad Guys!": Since Serenity had been re-released on HD-DVD, someone over at DVD File gave an unbiased review, considering he hadn't seen the series beforehand. But fret not, because this review holds wonderful praise especially for someone unaware of how the story and events happened in Firefly. This is a really thorough and detailed review that I think every Browncoat should enjoy reading. There may be some inconsistencies here and there from the gathered information (e.g. Earth-That-Was no longer in use because of a "nuclear war"), but otherwise overlooking those minor mistakes the review is nicely written.

-♠- She Saved The World, A Lot: An interesting written analysis article comparing the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the events of hurricane Katrina. While it may be slightly farfetched by comparing a fictional and supernatural television series to a devastating real-life event (which happened after the fact), there are some interesting pinpoints and comparisons to certain things as presented in the persons article. Plus, one can take or leave this article, however it does have the reflection of art-imitating-life. Seeing as though Sunnydale was built on the Hellmouth, dealing with End Of The World situations are just another part of life for Buffy Summers and the Scooby Gang, just like dealing with life and death situations in our reality.

-♠- ...And That Makes Us Mighty: Haven't yet ordered yourself the Done The Impossible? Look no further, as it is now available to order from Amazon, and as seen in the reviews it's highly and beyond recommended.

-♠- Joss Loves Kickass Women: As the speculations on who will portray Wonder Woman continues, there's been a rumored report that Rachel Bilson would be cast. Although it's been admitted that Rachel was oblivious about these rumors, and hadn't even been contacted by anyone for the film. Personally, I think she would definitely fit the part as Wonder Woman (considering she had already dressed the part in an episode of The OC, a surprise for Seth Cohen), though perhaps a younger version of the character. I have no doubt that Bilson would rule that role beautifully if she actually had been approached and cast, but I'm still placing my hopes and bets on either Morena Baccarin or Charisma Carpenter.

-♠- "She Always Did Love To Dance...": Just when I thought my love for Summer Glau couldn't rise above and beyond as it already is, she goes and has this in-depth interview from Dragon*Con that instantly uplifts my fangirling love for her, not to mention how adorable and well-spoken and praise-worthy she is. Gushing, me? What makes you say that? Anyway, this interview she talks about her upcoming projects, including a role in The Unit and her upcoming TV movie The Initiation of Sarah. Really nice interview.

-♠- Kuu Is JUICY: I mentioned before that Koda Kumi is being featured on a special version of MasterCard, well now there's a promotion commerical for its debut! Yays, and I do want one; though I wonder if it'll be available for people overseas and not just in Japan (and even so, could I even afford one?) Still very shiny, indeed.

Hee, today apparently went better than I had expected it to be. I mean, I expected it to be like any other day that I've had however, it turned out to be a wonderfully happy day. I cannot stop smiling and spreading my glee around. There were some incidents that could've destroyed my mood, but it didn't and I'm thankful for that.

♣ Firstly, there's the potluck during dance class this evening. We had a gigantic load of food brought in, including ice cream, different kinds of pizzas, mixtures of fruits and juices and tons more. We also watched a video including different performances of advanced dancers over the years. My favorites included an Asian Fan Dance which I found very inspirational (even if some of the class didn't, unfortunately) and some modern dances. There were hip-hop and freestyles too, which were good and upbeat. But I liked the oriental dances a little better, for the style and movements used to match perfectly with the music and it just....flowed beautifully.

♣ Preview for Battlestar Galactica's third season, which aired during the premiere of SciFi's new series Eureka. The new season will start this October, which does seem rather long for waiting after seeing this awesome preview. Psyched, I definitely am.

♣ Koda Kumi's final PV, "Ningyo-Hime", has arisen. Kuu has made music videos for all her songs on her single-album, 4 hot wave, all of which have continuous storytelling. It's a very unique way of promotion, let alone having each released in one single week. I really like this song, as it has more rockish rhythm and the video is amazingly gorgeous, but with Koda Kumi that's a given really. It's a mixture of a lot of things, but it's still a great video. I might be thinking about doing an analysis on each one of these PVs, because hey. They are telling a story in an artful format. ♥

♣ In recognition of my newest favorite fandom, girlflesh has listed 50 reasons why everyone should watch the new Doctor Who. Seriously, it's a kickass list and if you aren't caught up with the hype surrounding the Doctor Who glee, this you should take into consideration. Read and love, my lovely people. I mean, there's time traveling for goodness sakes. What's not to love?

♣ Hee, Dick Casablancas on That's So Raven. I still get a kick out of that. *smiles with glee*

1. I'm alive! Feel the vindication! Seriously, I spent most of this week stressing and feeling completely exhausted because I was preoccupied with something I couldn't get out of. Jury duty. I'll have more thorough details about that later, possibly by this weekend since there's a lot to describe about my first time in the justice system of our nation. But yay, I am back; back to normal daily schedules, inlcuding lots of sleep and not feeling entirely drained before dance class in the evening.

2. This passed weekend, I watched the That's So Raven episode with Ryan Hansen's second appearance as part of the trio boyband....singing and dancing in a fireman suit. Hee! I was really grinning and giggling at that part, and damn! can that boy dance. Seriously, I'll only watch that show with only him in it (I'm still getting over the "dude, DICK's on DISNEY OMG!" reaction). There's only a few occasional random episodes that I find funny, otherwise if it doesn't have Ryan appearing in it, it's all dead to me. Granted he's only been on that show twice, but still!

3. Koda Kumi's brand new PV for "JUICY"! So sultry, so damn sexy. I absolutely love Kumi. ♥

4. Dude, I totally didn't know that Grosse Pointe is coming to DVD. I loved this show when it aired, and was majorly disappointed when the WB didn't continue it after its first season. Yet another hilariously funny satire that the networks just didn't understand, unlike its audience. While there is no DVD release date finalized, I am going to order this as soon as possible. I admired the character of Hunter, she was the bestest bitch ever. I would actually like to see a combat between Hunter and Cordelia. That would be freaking awesome!

5. BUT, Carnivale Season 2 DVD will be released on the 18th! Finally, it's about time they released it. I went OMGYAYS when seeing this.

6. Tonight's Daily Show was superb, as usual, which made me giggle lots. Okay, it always makes me laugh, but tonight they actually did a segment where visibly showing dildos of all shapes and sizes (and Ed Helms using one as a lightsaber, no doubt) was beyond hysterical. Thank goodness that it's prime time television, until it reruns tomorrow morning and afternoon, that is.
